A bit like mounting financial crash risks, in 2026 the JLR issue if not swiftly contained has the potential to generate political economic shocks that will blindside much of UK political journalism even though risks would have already been mounting months before

They want you thinking about Tylenol so you don't realize that yet another right-wing billionaire is about to acquire yet another media platform.

I was raised to be a Tory but broke my programming, and have voted 3 times for Labour. I’m in a Tory safe seat, so my head hasn’t decided; but my heart is edging towards the Greens

It was never about Autism! 🚨 On Sept 22, 2025, Trump went on national TV claiming Tylenol causes autism. There is no scientific proof. Doctors warn this is dangerous misinformation. The claim directly targets Kenvue, whose largest shareholders include firms Trump already seeks to weaken. 🧵cont..

Best advice I never took was when I was 30 and on a massive career fast-track: You cannot cuddle with your career on a lonely night when your life is on the decline. Invest as much time on love and family. Sounded twee then. At 62 and near retirement, I now know it's 100% true.

Anyone else noticed that every single GOP policy and myth is about making women suffer? Now pregnant mums are being terrorised into abandoning pain relief. It’s monstrous

Men fan

Anti-autism campaigner, Karen Hoyland, 40, commented: “I love my child but I hate his autism. The other day I came home to find him lining up his guns, instead of playing with them like a normal kid.”

Welcome to MAGAland As long as we obey Everything will be OK Genius

I hate that you can’t explain current political events in the USA without sounding like you’ve completely lost it: “the billionaire’s group chat is panicked about whether the admin is taking AI superintelligence seriously enough because of drastic action it took based on an eigenrobot tweet” — what?

Your regular reminder that a NATO country shot down a Russian jet after it violated NATO airspace for *17 seconds*. What results? Russia didn’t start WW3 Russia didn’t carry on violating Turkish airspace. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Ru...

Incredible how thin his skin is. I don’t even have to say who; that’s how world-class his insecurities are

I’m in Vienna right now. A city which went from being the intellectual and cultural capital of the world to a “provincial backwater” (to quote Brian Barry) in a couple of decades due to nationalism, anti-semitism and fascism which drove away the leading scholars and artists it didn’t murder.

I'd like to remind that: In 2015, a Su-24M of the Russian Airspace Forces that was part of a Russian aviation group in Syria, was shot down by a Turkish F-16 after the Russian aircraft invaded Turkish airspace⤵️ 📷: from 2015, the shot down Russian aircraft

No mincing of words in this @ecfr.eu policy brief on the China-Russia relationship ecfr.eu/publication/...

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

Say what you like about [the house fire we’re trapped in] but our energy bills could soon be a thing of the past. Argh. These aren’t new and exciting things, they are old and blood-soaked things which our grandparents learned to reject the hard way.

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

Anyone mocking what Clive Lewis says here - and I hate the fact I'm agreeing with Clive Lewis - hasn't spent enough time with the mess of contradictions and conflicts which is the average low-information English voter.

100% behind this. I’m e.g. absolutely antifascist- but people are inspired by what you are FOR, much more than what you are against. In WW2 all Brits united AGAINST an existential threat: once it had been defeated, leaders who planned FOR a better future (NHS, pensions, Education) prevailed

But we mustn’t compare them to Nazis.

Suggestion for any parliamentarians who see this. Put down a PQ to the Cabinet Office to ask them if an assessment has been made of whether use of X is compatible with GCS propriety rules, the Civil Service Code and the PSED. And if not, why not.

Musk is wearing a T-shirt that asks, "What would Orwell think." Orwell took a bullet to the neck while fighting Tommy Robinsons and Elon Musks in Spain.

Not going to pretend today wasn't depressing but the far right has been stronger in the UK before. Mosley packed out Earls Court and was backed by several large newspapers. Enoch Powell had the support of 74% of the population. Musk has a net popularity rating of -52%

Oh, yes. Definitely.

I don’t think most people understand how the media works in the UK. This could be a long thread. 1/

It’s always darkest.

💥This is what happened. 💥Laura Loomer and Nick Fuentes had been attacking Charlie Kirk. 💥Saying Kirk was not loyal, a political opportunist and a fascist. 💥Charlie Kirk is murdered by a Loomer and Fuentes follower. 💥Loomer and Fuentes immediately blamed the “Left.”

Hi all, I broke my phone on holiday and couldn't get logged into my old account so starting again. Please re follow if you can!

So, after all that

I'm honestly surprised the Russian troll farms aren't all over the Charlie Kirk shooting, currently it seems they're focused on France, Germany, Armenia, and Moldova. The most recent links they've sent us were all about France, guess they've not received their latest marching orders.

This is how you do it

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

9/11💡Israel was fully behind 9/11 & Kirk yesterday-proof scrubbed, erased from the internet🇺🇸🙏

And beware of false flags and planted evidence with this FBI in charge. Skepticism is in order.

Today is an ideal day to learn about Horst Wessel. The Nazis used his murder as a propaganda bonanza. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

Good evening and good night

The same people who've spent the last two years telling us to treat the murder of 80,000 people in Gaza as an acceptable and justified loss, are about to get real precious about the sanctity of one human life.

God almighty, there are days my restraint online is truly tested

Explainer for those asking:

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

As the father of a boy who’s just coming up to military age, and who is the absolute apple of my eye; I’d just like to say a big CONGRATULATIONS To all the thick, obtuse, gullible cretins whose crap grasp on political realities made them vote for Brexit, and helped Putin on his journey

As someone more perceptive said a few years ago, this really feels like the bit in the history books just before the map goes all flaggy and arrowy. The sooner the powers that be understand Ukraine MUST NEVER give up the “Sudetenland”, the smaller the map we will need will be.

This isn't "just" Shaheds on Poland It's jamming v/d Leyen and German general's planes It's bombing the EU HQ in Kyiv It's bombing Ukr civilians every day and night with 800+ drones and missiles AND THIS IS JUST LAST WEEK.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.
