The British government says that inflation isn't "that bad".

I have coeliac disease and am physically unable to digest gluten or wheat. I have to eat food made of corn flour, and it's already four times more expensive than food made out of wheat flour. Inflation has made it damn near impossible to find ordinarily priced food that I can actually fucking eat, because all the cheap alternative stuff designed to help people save money have a shit ton of wheat it.

Next time the government wants to tell me that inflation isn't "that bad", I want them to live on a gluten free diet for a week with an average weekly wage. Maybe then they'd fucking understand that just because abled people can cope with inflation, it doesn't mean disabled people can.

Fuck the UK government. Fuck the monarchy as well.

British prime minister, Rishi Sunak, after breaking historical precedent to veto 2 gender bills, one each from Scotland and Wales, has now said he is concerned after a report has said that most children do not immediately tell their parents when they are questioning their gender identity. Perhaps if he wants to know why he should look for a mirror, the answer will be staring him in the face.

it was the POOR PEOPLE who did not get the emergency alert

people with sim cards that use the "three" network such as three or smarty (like i use), did NOT receive the emergency alert test today. these networks are known for being a lot cheaper than other networks such as O2. the government is once again prioritising those who can afford more expensive mobile data as these are the people that vote for them. this is essentially the government saying that the working classes are second rate citizens that do not deserve to be warned of fires, floods, or terrorist threats near them. do NOT vote conservative if you wish to be allowed to know if your life is in danger.

this system is meant to warn you of fires, floods, terrorist threats, and other danger. this is not a privilege it is a right.

vote for a party that does not discriminate (hard to find these days i know).

take the tories out of power.

public safety is a right not a privilege.

I hate asking for reblogs but we NEED people to know that the government does not care about them. people NEED to know that the government will leave you to die.

Britain pushes tough tech rules under new digital watchdog

LONDON (AP) — Big tech companies like Google and Facebook parent Meta would have to comply with tough British rules under a new digital watchdog aimed at giving consumers more choice online — or face the threat of big fines. The United Kingdom government on Friday outlined the powers it’s planning for its Digital Markets Unit, a regulator set up last year to take on the dominance of tech giants.…

Id like to officially welcome the UK into the “our government is falling apart” gang. There is no catering but someone did start a bonfire in the corner.

this is beyond horrifying, i am actually at a loss for words

this government is leaving victims of slavery in the hands of their traffickers, how does one who is subjected to forced labour enter the country 'legally'

everyone has the right to apply for asylum, it is enshrined in law

The killing of aid workers adds to pressure on the UK government to halt arms sales to Israel

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s main opposition parties demanded Wednesday that the Conservative government publish legal advice it has received on whether Israel has broken international humanitarian law during the war in Gaza. They say the U.K. should ban weapons sales to Israel if the law has been broken. Britain is a staunch ally of Israel, but relations have been tested by the mounting death toll of…

I found this a while back but I just wanted to share this for people who haven't seen it

No Tax for Genocide

This is a great resource! Thank you so much for sharing this. For folks living in the UK, please take a look if you already haven't seen this/haven't made the pledge:

"It is a criminal offence in this country to pay tax if any of it is used to fund genocide, murder or any criminal activity as per the 1945 UN Charter, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Terrorism Act 2000 and The Nuremberg Code." "We will take direct action when we receive 100,000 pledges from members of the public ~ removing £700 million from the government war machine." "Our team of experts have determined that British taxpayers can legally withhold taxation through a clear mechanism we will set out for you. Millions of people in this country want an end to the killing - are you ready to make your voice heard?"
