Bravo 👏👏👏👏

Since privatisation England's water companies paid £88.4bn in dividends. 90% of water companies owned by foreign investors/govts. 90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends. Public ownership would make a difference.

Good crap detecting is a life long skill.

With criminal minds working with AI, will it be human criminals or AI come out winners in the human race at the finish?

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Kushal Sureka and wife Preety, moved to UK January 2020 to work as chartered accountants. In past 5 years they paid £100,000 in tax (Farage & Tice used tax havens to avoid paying UK tax) contributing to society & have indefinite leave to stay They’re more valuable than 2 tax dodging millionaires🤷🏼‍♂️

The Tories claim to have evidence that Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney may have misled authorities over massive Israeli donations used to install Starmer as leader, and, ultimately, as prime minister... www.whatlaboursaid.com/the-mcsweene...

Here's the data on this - NatCen asked people last year when settled migrants should qualify for full access to welfare. Farage has been very clear his answer is "never." Support for "never" overall was 3%. Support amongst the most migrant sceptical was 11%. The public reject this overwhelmingly.

I always smile when people witness someone's behaviour and say it is 'unbelievable'. It can't be unbelievable if it is witnessed. The exception is Trump - just unbelievable!

The border check facilities built to deal with post-Brexit plant and animal inspections have cost an estimated £800m They are likely to become redundant after the SPS deal comes into force How many homes could we have insulated with that money? www.politico.eu/article/brex...

So where is our National Public Broadcaster on this and the the rump of left wing MPs for that matter?

The biggest spend, of ANY single, 18-month long project, ever, in the history of time. Anywhere in the entire World.

One of the most important things to do in the face of Christian nationalism (as with any ethnic nationalism) is to name it. Then civil society and politicians start to have the tools to understand it and take it on. Bravo to @pollytoynbee.bsky.social 👏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just has to be reposted, perhaps we should all do the same and include those hiding in black bags, just left on the ground or flung in hedges!

There are those who know/believe he has a considerable intellect, so how do they read this and not wonder about his executive functions?

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

"I have my voice, don't you dare claim you represent it". If you, as a man, ever felt the need to explain to any women what she <really> meant, check your misogyny, because it will be bubbling away immediately below your NiceGuy™️ exterior.

Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) is one of the biggest cons created by Tories, expanded by Labour. For every £1 of private investment in public assets govt repays £6, resulting in higher debt/taxes. Cheaper for govt to borrow or it can create money But govt is reviving PFI. Must change policy.

there are essays by Palantir CEO and other Thiel associates on how democracy can be dismantled by embedding their tech inside friendly governments Yes, Streeting & Starmer were presented these by in house consulting teams www.gov.uk/government/n...

Message for the billionaires hoarding their billions and the politicians who are letting them get away with it: “‘Money,’ my father would say, ‘is like shit. Pile it up and it stinks. Spread it around and you can grow things.’” - Richard Flanagan (Question 7)

Yep His show was hateful and preyed on normal people just for ratings He was taken off air after one of his guests killed himself He’d make the perfect Deform candidate Rich, white, middle aged , full of hate and rage, with no interest in helping anyone but himself

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

Bloody good failure!

I only wish I had a Time Machine to send those people who ‘want their country back’ to Britain 50 years. Or during the Anglo Saxon invasions. Or even better, 6,000 years ago www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...

A decent country has to be capable of two things. 1) Caring for its most vulnerable 2) Following International law We are failing. Badly.

Please listen to this exceptional segment from a speech by J.B. Pritzker. It explains everything that's happening now in #MAGAmerica.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone. You're going to need a bigger prison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkV...

You couldn’t make it up. EVERYONE has a connection to Epstein. Trump for whatever he got up to with Epstein. Charles because of his brother and whatever he got up with Epstein. Starmer because of his ex-US ambassador Mandelson and whatever he got up with Epstein.

Sums up the day perfectly!

The brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social at Stop Trump tears into this government. ‘By bringing the fascist in chief here, they dishonour us, and they dishonour themselves. By rolling out the red carpet for Trump, they roll out the red carpet for Farage.’

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Two opposing aspects of British soft power are on display during Trump’s visit- the classic one of pomp, circumstance, royalty and tradition; and the deadly one of British wit and satire, poking fun at Trump, mocking his vanity, and exposing his flaws. The slide show on Windsor Castle was genius!

Was thinking about this the other day...whatever happened to all that rage about having to wear masks....

Trump is destroying America’s “brand”. Its image is one of political violence, and hostility to outsiders.

See some of you at 5pm at the anti Trump rally. Meanwhile, spoke to the Guardian 👇🏼

The broligarchy will not pass up the opportunities presented by AI, except there is a real future issue if AI is able to become an entity in the same way as corporations in the US are considered a 'person' can open a bank account and trade in the markets.

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]
