Humanism means: using #evidence based #reason to form your views; developing your own and others wellbeing; being concerned for others; drawing meaning from connections and experiences, with other people, with the environment...

Hot take: you should be squeamish about making life worse for poor people.
This man will just continue to be the midwife of a Reform Government, just like Keir Starmer.
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he is "not squeamish" about cutting welfare spending
He says he wants to get more people into work through a ten-year plan which will also increase defence spending

72 lives lost.
9 years later and 0 justice.
Profit was put above human life.
Justice must be done.

'#Reform UK leader Nigel #Farage has said his party would ban foreign nationals from living in social housing...'
But there's no evidence that foreign nationals take up social housing in a detrimental way. He's vindictive, discriminatory, scapegoating.

'Handouts to handups’
The language of the Tories.
A Labour MP. Apparently a leadership candidate.
While they refuse to end handouts to the super rich.

The 50 richest families own more wealth than 34 million people.
A handful have everything.
Millions are struggling.
End Rip Off Britain.
Wealth tax. Now.
ALT The case for labour to introduce a wealth tax has never been stronger.
Bizarre that govt are promoting #AI like this. Uncontrolled, unregulated AI is making the super-rich ever richer whilst people lose their jobs and the machines consume massive energy, water and other resources. The limited control we have over our lives is diminishing.

Reform want to take us to a grim place.
They've been in their right wing echo chamber for far too long.
The vast majority of people in this country don't denigrate difference - we celebrate it.

A) as we’ve discussed before, you don’t need to quote tweet. B) You know as well as I do that extraordinarily concentrated wealth makes a difference to the lives of everyone in a democracy.

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

The idea that the accumulation of excessive wealth in the hands of a few inevitably leads to oligarchy, corruption, and the destruction of the common good goes back at least as far as Aristotle. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7v…

These are not 'anti-migrant protestors'. They went house to house looking for foreigners and Black people to burn them out of their homes.
They are racist thugs carrying out a pogrom.
Police use water cannon against anti-migrant protestors
