Privatisation in a nutshell: Steal from us something we own. Sell us back an inferior service at a higher price. The most obvious example is the railways. But the pattern is the same everywhere else: water, electricity, gas, the NHS, public services, council services…

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Make this go viral. Labour MP Louise Haigh.

Most distant image of Earth, taken by NASA’s Voyager spacecraft on 14 February 1990. In 2026, how about we remember we are all on this dot together?

What a contrast from the current horror show!

I’ll be over here waiting for the GOP or evangelical leaders to comment on the latest Epstein photos, i.e. the condoms, black glove and various sex gadgets.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I spy….a man with a functioning brain:

Great to chat with someone who really loved my book on black holes, A Crack in Everything, and appreciated the fact I had gone and talked to the people who had made the discoveries and told their stories. Here’s the podcast newbooksnetwork.com/a-crack-in-e... #blackholes #space #astronomy #universe

Yes, America is probably the worst but ‘capitalist’ governments everywhere provide tax payers’ money as subsidy to corporations who generally do everything to avoid paying tax. It’s always socialism for the wealthy and capitalism for the poor.

Absolutely!

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

And we think they’re heartless, traitorous, grifters.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

I’d completely forgotten, thanks for reminding me!

Do you want to know what will really stick it to the man? We cancel all passive entertainment Take up a musical instrument 🎻 🎸 🥁 🪘 🎺 🎷 🎹 Make singing with your friends around the parlor piano after dinner a thing again Rock out in your garage with your midlife crisis band

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

YES!!!!!

This!

I often think about this letter to the New Statesman. It's from a 1960s Tory, and neatly summarises how British politics has shifted massively to the right, and taken Starmer's Labour party with it. #PoliticsLive

Brexit has been a disaster for businesses. 💼 📉 Nick Thomas-Symonds: "Companies - big and small - are crying out for a change, for practical help to bring down bills so they can make goods cheaper for the public."

Many Lebara customers will be disappointed to learn that their phone provider has been advertising on GB News, which pumps out content like this:

I've been with Lebara for a few years now, but I will be changing supplier tomorrow. #GBNews

Release the Epstein files!!

Did you know? Black holes are the simplest objects in science - they’re built from nothing more than space & time. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my paperback A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen randomly from those retweeting this blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro... @headofzeus.bsky.social

What a disgusting useless group of men. This is definitely a cult. It wreaks of Waco Texas style idiocy. #USDemocracy

A Reform UK govt will basically be government run for the pub/golf club bore. Full of low ranking disgruntled former employees working in important positions (e.g. former prison officers). Shepherded into office by people who have been wrong about EVERYTHING for 15 years. What could go wrong?

Farmer Bizza Walters comments on lowering food standards after Brexit, "As a nation we are overlooking the importance of food security" "We should be banging the drum against the government saying that food, after air and water, is the third most important thing that we need"

REPOST THESE FACTS: Twelve year old women are children. Donald Trump is a #pedophile. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is a coward for sending the House of Representatives early so that they did not have to deal with the issue of the #Epstein files.

I understand that experiencing the natural consequences of one’s actions is something rich people aren’t used to, but I assure you, this is what’s supposed to happen.

Let's boycott Coca-Cola products, not because of the type of sugar they use, but because of the criminal psychopaths they support with campaign contributions and continue to cavort with after the campaign is over. Give me a ❤️ if you are in.

More moss please.

The orange 🍊 felon is looking to take over the Office Of Special Counsel with this highly unqualified guy! This office is supposed to operate as a secure channel for Federal employees to disclose wrongdoing without fear of retaliation! Watch this! ⬇️⬇️ #USDemocracy youtube.com/shorts/u05Bg...

The worms are turning!

This young man named Fousseynou saved the life of an entire family of Six on the Sixth floor of a building in Paris, France. 11 He deserves a national award.

Yes, but this time no bread eh?

This is very well done.

Absolument!

I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour. Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines. The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering. The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

This!

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Always principled, always considered, always correct. Everyone who believes in a more human, progressive state founded on sound economic thinking should follow and listen to Prem Sikka.
