@nickdearden.bsky.social“The system wants us silenced”
Frightening days in India. Solidarity to those resisting.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialFor ‘mob rule’ read democracy. Desperate stuff from Tom Watson.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialThe government is planning 1,000 extra immigration detention spaces. This will mean more raids, more arrests, more brutality and more trauma. Tell them no 👇
@nickdearden.bsky.social200,000 people from one of the poorest countries on earth are now displaced due to renewed fighting while an all out war in the Gulf edges nearer. Great that Britain is pouring fuel on the fire by helping the oil tyrants of Saudi refuel their bombers 😡
@nickdearden.bsky.socialGrieve is completely right. Israel does not have the right to shut the British consulate. It is on Palestinian land. Miliband should refuse to move.
@nickdearden.bsky.social‘Vote Green, watch Labour move’ is Polanski’s pitch today at what is surely the biggest Green Party conference in history. And a nice touch that he calls Tony Benn his political hero.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialEnd the genocide, drop the charges, deproscribe Palestine Action, free Palestine
Zack Polanski at #GpConf26
@nickdearden.bsky.socialA packed Green Party conference. @zackpolanski.bsky.social strongly defending migrants and paying tribute to the brave workers in the RNLI, to huge applause.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialThe government desperately looking for ways to spend more NHS money on crazy expensive drugs that aren’t cost effective because they promised Trump they would under the Pharma deal. This is is just 🤯
@nickdearden.bsky.socialIsrael abducts Palestinian children in the middle of the night, holds them without due process, assaults them and puts them in solitary confinement. A lot of children.
It is thoroughly rogue. Sanctions now.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialStill going strong in soho square - speaking to people, I think Tom Watson has really helped get people out tonight. Thanks Tom! Kick Palantir out
@nickdearden.bsky.socialMassive crowd outside Palantir’s HQ. Throw this evil corporation out of our public services.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialJust gathering for the People Vs Palantir protest on Soho Sq. Lots of people with us, and a few Israeli flags ‘guarding’ the Palantir office.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialThe crazy thing is we’re still not getting the drugs promised. Like the drug mentioned in the piece which could help end HIV transmission but is being sold for $28000. It’s costs $40 to make it.
@nickdearden.bsky.socialOur friends at Nuffield on C4 tonight saying the Trump-Starmer Pharma deal will cost the NHS 10,000 staff. Here’s a test for Burnham - will he stop the implementation of this toxic deal?
@bethstratford.bsky.socialReposted by @nickdearden.bsky.socialWell, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high
@labour4pr.bsky.socialReposted by @nickdearden.bsky.social💥 BREAKING: @andyburnham.bsky.social just announced that the Government will launch a National Commission on Electoral Reform

@nickdearden.bsky.social‘When we gave up public control, we left people exposed.’ Never sat through a PM’s speech in my life which I didn’t hate… before today. It’s not job done. But it is all to campaign for. Keep pushing, push harder.
@nickdearden.bsky.social20 years ago, Blair said we couldn’t even debate globalisation “You might as well debate whether autumn should follow summer” Burnham’s speech today is the opposite - a clear analysis of the damage globalisation has done and an indictment of the political class that failed us.
