The one on the left stabbed a woman and a child. The one on the right jumped on the assailant and stopped him from causing further damage. His name is Abdullah and he’s a hero. There are good and bad people in every community.

The likes of Boris Johnson and Suella Braverman hatred towards peaceful protestors in London has, in part, led to this decimation of the Conservatives. #LocalElections2024

Always a beautiful moment to wake up to a complete and utter Tory shit-show. I'm intrigued to find out who still actually votes for the crooked bastards though. #LocalElections2024

Really important and accurate thread
THREAD: What is happening in UK universities is astonishing. Right now about quarter of universities are laying off staff. Almost all universities expect to make a loss this year. And the entire thing is happening in an effort to deceive the population about migration statistics.
