And it's a 'No' to #Windows11 from him.

Left: Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a placard in London Right: Labour's Baron Hain, "This gov is treating Palestine action as equivalent to ISIS or al-Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. I'm deeply ashamed"

This is becoming a very very shameful episode - and a tragedy for these young and courageous people and their friends and families filtonactionists.com

The centre left should have been fighting this battle from the start, rather than accepting the right’s false premise

It's baffling why normally sane rational people put the name of their cat/dog on Christmas cards.

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up. A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

The Welsh Government has been accused of trying to disguise the fact that a new £120m diagnostic centre branded as a ‘health park’ will be operated by a private sector company ✍️ Martin Shipton

Ah yes, Boris Johnson—the genius who kick-started Brexit (a movement largely driven by stopping immigration) by pushing migration to record highs, has this to say 👇🙄

FYI

Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial. We must force the government to act, before it’s too late ⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/3e3320

Crowds starting to gather outside the Ministry of Justice in suppprt of the eight pro-Palestine prisoners currently on hunger strike.

Goodwin (like similar voices) is being totally dishonest about this. Despite the equal dishonesty of its headline, the Mail story shows these weren't "anti-immigration tweets", they were calls for "slaughter" and mass violence against MPs. It's incredible that this is being openly condoned.

Welcome to the UK where a right wing academic seeks to defend a man who wrote: 'Head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground.' By describing that incitement as "anti immigration"

It's hard to find the words for how disgusting this is. It completely silences girls' experiences of male violence. It fails to recognise the importance of education for prevention. It ignores the drivers of men's violence. And it's racist. Oh and for good measure, which party cut police numbers?

MPs laughed when Jake Richards dismissed Jeremy Corbyn’s request for a meeting on the Palestine Action hunger strikers. Laughed. This is who we’re governed by, people entrusted to represent a nation, yet so insulated by power they respond to human suffering with indifference and mockery.

“There have been no findings that any elections to date were affected by foreign interference" THAT’S BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T HAD A REVIEW OF FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN ELECTIONS

How can you have a review of foreign interference in elections without, you know, reviewing past elections? Who wants a review of a film you haven’t seen yet??

Case in point. Farage is not just racist. He also reeks of corruption and betrayal. An active threat to our democracy and country. (Times)

Huge new poll puts Plaid ahead of Reform with Labour and the Conservatives on just 10% each. willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/bombshell-...

What kind of dead souls are sitting down that road in Westminster 😡

Haha, well, I'd say this is a new low in The Spectator's coverage of my Reith Lectures. There is so much wrong with the piece that it’s hard to know where to begin, but a few points stand out --> /1

Again these people aren't patriots. They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too. Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Like they caused Brexit, the Russian social media army, and the equivalent of Cambridge Analytics will be bombarding millions of British voters with PsyOps warfare levels of brainwashing, with posts, adverts and subtle / not so subtle emotive messaging and lies.

Will Farage be seized coz he is a Russian asset

I am a TV journalist so by definition, I watch A LOT OF TV. I cannot think of a single drama in which this - or anything like this - has happened. This geezer is just making shit up. And the increasingly laughably self-styled Newspaper of Record is publishing it.

Policies proposed by Reform UK could place thousands of industrial jobs in Wales at risk, according to a new analysis by a trade union body ✍️Emily Price

There are those who proudly define their lives by what they hate and those that define their fight with love - I will remain in the latter group - I am sad that so many prefer to define themselves by hate , but encouraged by all those who use love as their motivation

Tommy Robinson's Christmas Carol service featured two arrests - one for assault and another of a man suspected of homophobic abuse. And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.

Terrifying that Wes Streeting continues to try and pressurise hospitals into giving patient data to Palantir. Take action here: goodlawproject.org/campaign/sto...

Still too many people who want Trump-style nonsense paid for by the Russians, and somehow think they're 'patriots'.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned. Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

WHY ARE YOU ANNOYED THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED TO HAPPEN

Government using the seasonal flu, which could be just earlier rather than bigger, to avoid the issue: they're still underfunding the #NHS.

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road. No one’s held to account. No one’s fallen on their sword. No one’s got the guts to really speak out. So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case. She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

🔥🔥

So it appears that the donor of £9m to Reform UK also owns 10% of a crypto-currency company Russia has been using to avoid sanctions!?!

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Breaking. Liz Truss wins this year's FIFA Prize for Economics.

Dubai immigrant, Isabel Oakeshott, whines that Farage got nothing from his deal with the Tories last time, so why should he do that again. Christ. The whining victimhood of these spoiled brats. Squabbling over power, while the rest of us live with the mess they’ve made of our country and our lives.

“We want growth. We know this is the single best way of getting it… We could then challenge Farage… to either continue with our economic recovery, or to halt it in its tracks and take us backwards.” Finally. Weaken Farage by doing something that actually works. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism? Odd that.

I only recently listened to this extraordinary 10 part podcast - Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring by @peterjukes.bsky.social and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social . It’s gripping, chilling, and deeply disturbing. The facts of Russian intrusion into UK politics laid bare, in horrifying fashion.

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.
