It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

How are things in Belfast? Are the people with Legitimate Concerns about paedophilia attacking unionist politicians’ homes in response to the Donaldson verdict? They aren’t? How strange. Their Concerns seemed so Legitimate when they were burning foreigners out of their homes a few weeks back.

Is this what we're going to get now? Constant fucking sneering about buses as if they're not a hugely important public service and a highly visible improvement to the public realm?

What's going to be the excuse for this war crime?

Yes, this! The BBC is wonderful. BBC News is diabolical.

there needs to be a coordinated global effort among democracies to destroy this man's financial and social media empires and leave him impoverished and powerless

The idea that every human is a life deserving of fundamental rights, dignity & care—irrespective of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, or ability—*is* the common ground. It is the ground of the universal. People opposed to this aren't interested in common ground.

Please take just 15 seconds to use our tool and respond to the public consultation on 'trail hunting' and tell the Govt to end this vile pastime for good. protectthewild.org.uk/trail-huntin...

Voting for Reform UK is a moral failure, & I will judge you for it. I've learned from what happened in my own country—it's essential for decent people of varying political stripes to say, every time it comes up, that certain politicians and parties are on the other side of the cordon sanitaire.

While the article is good, I would disagree that "anti-white racism" is a reality and caution against normalizing it Confusing prejudice with structural oppression only serves to flatten power relationships and therefore play in the hands of reactionaries

I don't think that there can be any doubt that this shift even further to the right is being spurred on by Elon Musk and his control of X (and backing for Restore Britain). It is the most glaring evidence of foreign interference in British politics. It's right there in front of us - and the Govt.

Your regular reminder that PoliticsUK is a fake account owned by a Reform councillor Bailey Nash-Gardner who also works for Reform MP Andrew Rosindell. ***Stop following and sharing their stuff***

In Gaza, all men of military age were deemed legitimate targets. “And military age is really open to interpretation,” said Jonathan. “It could be from 16 to 60 or even younger...Most of the people that my unit killed were not armed.”

Definitely Christian with so many favourite bible passages it's impossible to name just one, but also unable to pronounce the word 'hallowed'.

Starmer's only way of rescuing his reputation is to Leeroy Jenkins some seriously socialist shit. Instant nationalisation of water (without compensation), electoral reform, and UBI.

Germany has a long history of stable government with a proportional electoral system. Government stability has never been only a product of the electoral system but of wider political culture, which as we are clearly seeing is subject to change regardless of the electoral system.

Really don't know what more the Labour Party could have done, and continues to do, to bring in a Reform government

First past the post is totally unfit for purpose. Always had been.

Actually, referring to someone as “an illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant” is dehumanizing hate speech and none of you should ever do it. People can’t be illegal.

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

As someone born in Grantham, it pleases me greatly that the mighty Gingerbreads beat the team from the only parliamentary constituency that is an anagram for its MP.

Starmer got free glasses = media outrage Farage gets £5m = very little fuss Something terribly wrong with UK media.

Including the "politics UK" guy

Cat lovers should be enraged. Their pets are genocidal maniacs and should be kept indoors.

We are way past the 25th amendment. Can someone, anyone, please 'intervene'.

From @politico.com "penalties on the table include pulling US troops out of countries deemed less supportive." Stop threatening us with a good time.

Okay. I know this is a long shot, but is there any chance that the commander of Strategic Command happens to be Stanislav Petrov?

Just sent an email to my MP that begins "I am writing as a constituent with an interest in not being killed in WWIII".

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order. Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not. For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

I have also not written a novel, but I don't have an article in the Guardian announcing that I have not written a novel.

Markets and traders are thick as fucking mince if they're jumping around on the basis of what Trump says from one day to the next like this. Yesterday, FTSE 100 up by biggest daily percentage in a year and oil prices fall, today oil up 8% and markets back down again. Fucking idiots.

A great man, a huge loss to Hull.

"Jewish communities are not to blame for the policies of the Israeli government, whose sole purpose is to foment war, deepen the occupation, and bring us all more blood, suffering, and tears...

Fascinating article from @carbonbrief.org @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org setting out clearly why gas determines electricity prices in the UK, why drilling for more in the North Sea will do the square root of fuck all to change this, and why renewables will. www.carbonbrief.org/qa-why-does-...

Their idiocy is proven by their failure to understand the Streisand Effect.

Wealth taxes are needed, and they need to be big, for two reasons: to redistribute the vast wealth in our society to public goods, and to destroy the ability of the rich to undermine our society and democracy.
