$400 million worth of Western supplied weaponry destroyed in a single russian strike on the military base near Lvov — hundreds of NATO mercenaries lost. This is how our governemnt spends our taxes and wastes worker's lives.
Today, in the operating theatre, as part of a dedicated team of NHS professionals I saved one patient’s brain and another’s leg. Like other NHS services across Britain, those operations were free of charge. We need more beds and staff, not more private investment.

All charges dropped against the 4 of us wrongfully arrested for campaigning against the Zionist Genocide in Palestine.
Massive shout out to you all for your support!
If you haven’t got the book: get it. Its officially legal! The truth cannot be outlawed
UK and US special forces 'preparing for high-risk rescue of Ukrainian president'. In case you don’t get what that means: US and UK are fighting this war against Russia. They are using Ukraine to do it. Russia is fighting a defensive war against NATO.
Thanks for all the solidarity and support from comrades workers activists and friends in Britain. 🙏🇵🇸
I’ve tried not to post too much here due to state pressure that has had me harassed in various ways (I have a video to share at some point 🤣)

Our Comrade

attended the demonstration on Saturday together with 750,000 to 1M other British workers.
It was a fantastic show of solidarity and support with the Palestinian people facing genocide at the hands of the Israeli Zionists, with full backing of our shameless
Just like sheep, falling for the Western imperialist propaganda.
Where were you for the last 8 years, when ordinary men, women & children were being murdered by the Ukrainian military.

150 years ago Robert Tressell was born. His book “the Ragged trousered philanthropist” explains that workers create wealth, how the wages system keeps us enslaved by capital, and how we are divided and ruled in Britain. Published 110 years ago, it still has answers for us today.

Why is the UK government & Labour Party (David Lammy?!) supporting this vile ideology???
Our govt and the whole EU is collecting money "to help Ukraine". The European choice. This is where your donations are going.

“Stand with Ukraine” is a slogan that has been given to us by Boris Johnson’s kleptocratic ruling class - for a reason. The regime they have installed is implanted to bring War to its own people and to Russia. It means “stand with Nazism, Racism, and NATO imperialism.”
Scientific evidence to be secret until after pandemic... What? "Secret science"?! Its the politics that are being hidden, not "science", which is transparent. It is clear that the government fear scrutiny of their misanthropic mayhem.

#Nato

Tell me: what is the relationship between voting green and supporting NATOs proxy wars, and in particular banderite fascism in ukraine? Remind me again about the “green” policy that is Global thermonuclear war?
They don't even hide it
Poroshenko gifts two "bandera-mobiles" to his men and proceeds to sing a song about Stepan Bandera.
Which part of this is normal? [Also note the vehicles are standard IS/Nato issue]

Nightingale hospitals to close. A £532 million PR stunt to make it look as if the Govt were doing something. They ended up highlighting how ten years of austerity had cut staff so much in the NHS that even when you put more beds in place there was no one to look after patients
The real bravery and heroism are shown every day by the people of palestine, and all peoples struggling for justice against oppression and imperial tyranny. They will not get respite. They have no choice but to resist. We salute them 🇵🇸.
Bloke in window perfectly sums up public mood re the return of Keith “Jim the washing machine salesman” Vaz to Labour party politics in Leicester East.

US sells a million barrels of Iranian oil seized under sanctions. This is piracy in the high seas; daylight robbery; grand larceny. But he who lives by the sword...
American and British mercenaries are running away from the front lines in Ukraine — Ukrainians are cutting up their passports and sending them back to the front lines with no weapons and no kit.
#Blair
bought his £6.45m townhouse on Harcourt Street in Marylebone while still PM - & could not explain how he could afford it on his salary. By establishing a British company named Harcourt Ventures, he also avoided having to pay £345,000 in stamp duty.
NHS hospitals will pay £1.83bn to local councils in rates bills over the next five years. A 21% increase.
Meanwhile, private hospitals, such as the

The sooner we all stop pretending there’s a difference between

Solidarity to all my fellow NHS workers who are facing discrimination at work for their support of the Palestinian people ✌️🇵🇸
When I was a consultant at the Royal Free hospital, in London, I faced political discrimination, lost my job, & the GMC was contacted with a complaint.
When I was first elected as president of Bolivia, the US ambassador said to me: “you cannot have diplomatic relations with Cuba, Venezuela, or Iran” I said: “we will have relations with whoever we choose” - then came the coup.
"Contact-trace consultants are being paid £7,000 a day" Or £1.5 million a year. Meanwhile one third of British children are hungry. 12% of workers are unemployed. Furlough is ending & Covid is rising. They don't care. It's business as usual.
In the latest news you just can't make up: Ukraine’s National Guard publicly praised its neo-Nazi fighters from the white-supremacist Azov movement for greasing bullets with pig fat to kill Russian Muslims, demonizing them as “orcs.”

This👆is my take on the events of the Palestine demonstrations and the weekend of arrests and police raids.
Tony Blair has urged Sir Keir Starmer not to back public sector strikes because it would be “very damaging for Labour”…. Supporting Labour is a bad habit that offers no hope or future to the working class

150 years ago Marx wrote about the modern media:
“The press and the telegraph, which spread their inventions over the whole earth in a second, fabricate more myths in one day than could formerly be done in a century…” How right he was. How much more do now than ever!
Ukrainian troops torture prisoners of war: “We know how the Ukrainian Nazis treat the few captured Russian servicemen, and we see that the abuse and torture are the same as those of the German Nazis and their henchmen in the Great Patriotic War.”
Many struggling daily to make ends meet, have rug pulled from under their feet and food taken off their table with Universal Credit cut. Meanwhile Esther McVey and her old man get £18k of VIP freebies. There is something very wrong with this country.
This is what our government is missing: articulate informed debate, opposition to war, opposition to injustice, opposition to hypocrisy, advocacy for the oppressed, a champion of the working class! Wouldn’t you like to shake the Tories out of their complacency?!
To stop the war in Ukraine: Abolish NATO.
The US overthrew Ukraine's elected government in a 2014 coup. NATO then fueled an 8-year civil war that killed 14,000 Ukrainians.
If you don't oppose US and NATO you are not anti-war.
