"There is no universe in which Sam Ashworth-Hayes – or any of Britain’s array of overpaid columnists, commentators and ideological wonks – is more valuable to this country than a care worker" I wrote for @samfr.bsky.social's Substack on benefits and "contribution" samf.substack.com/p/the-someth...

It was only a year ago, do they think we all have the memories of a Guppy fish? And why is Starmer intervening & trying to pressurise the police to change an operational decision? Starmer's not only wrong on the facts, he's using his office to influence a policing matter. #r4today #GMB

How can Starmer support banning peaceful protests but oppose banning violent hooligans? #r4today

Incredible how the narrative that preventing racist Maccabi Tel Aviv football hooligans from attending a game in England is due to antisemitism is already all pervasive. #GMB is right wing trash, but if even the BBC is falling for this lie, we have a real problem #r4today bsky.app/profile/saul...

I've just listened to the headlines on #r4today and this show isn't fit for purpose. If (quite rightly) Justin Webb is concerned about anti-Semitism then surely this story is also important www.politico.com/news/2025/10... But #Americast doesn't think it is worth coverage.

Major Andrew Fox: “There’s no evidence of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans being particularly violent.” There are a number of intellectually dishonest & ahistorical hurdles you have to jump over to reach that conclusion. I mean…it would be comical if it wasn’t abject gaslighting. #r4today

And now, the reality: - Cambodia and Thailand: it was a border conflict that ended thanks to mediation by Malaysia. All Trump did was a phone call threatening tariffs. - Kosovo and Serbia: there was no war - DRC and Rwanda: war did not end, violence continues 1/2

Excellent news ! #GreenPartyUK #Polanski

Quite the spectacle to see media outlets who've cheered on austerity saying 'oh god, SEND spending is out of control'. Well, if you gut councils, fail to provide local special school spaces, collapse SureStart and leave public/collective transport to rot, that's what happens. Cuts are expensive

I’m livid that the press are barely reporting clinically vulnerable children’s deaths or the testimonies on what so many families and children have gone through. The government marches on with their unfeeling, unbending attendance with no reflection on the loss and stress it’s caused.

The Daily Mirror published this in 2023. Well past the government so called end of the Pandemic in the inquiry. Yet we have constant ongoing preventable deaths and this is being swept under the carpet. My friend died from a hospital acquired infection, they weren’t old. They only went into hospital

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years. He's been on Question Time once. Nigel Farage, 44 times. Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

Another article that fails to talk about COViD being predominantly airborne and just focuses on handwashing only. Also again, no mention of #PostInfectionRisk. This is not a normal situation to be failing to prevent airborne infections. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I don’t usually talk about handwashing and its importance but it goes without saying that we should all wash our hands well. It’s particularly important because COVID infections can cause immune dysregulation leaving us at increased risk of other infections. So yes covid is predominantly airborne
