Macron is right but not 100% right. Our 'free' press has also been captured. It's neither free as in unfettered nor free as in you have to be a billionaire to be able to publish your opinion.

The very uncharitable profits of JustGiving which takes fees, a cut of gift aid, and then asks donors for a tip! bit.ly/4nzZpDV much better to give directly to the charity, but if you do use JG always set tip to zero. But you can’t stop it snaffling some of the Gift Aid

Pot/Kettle.

Well look at this…. I actually agree with the orange dumpster fire

If you can be arsed with all the graphs and the sheer rightness of what Ben says (and proves), this is a good read.

Are the Press craven or are they merely the mouthpiece of the problem?

Just do it! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

This parallels the red meat idea dreamt up by the Tories on the eve of the Sue Gray report - the Rwanda scheme - a ship they were all willing to go down with. Let's hope Tice and Farage go down with the Trump/Epstein ship.

I am celebrating in a couple of weeks my 30 years Erasmus in London with other Erasmus buddies from Sweden, Denmark and Spain. This is the spirit of the Erasmus, forging links beyond borders!

This would be a very good thing.

Can we look forward to watching Farage jump from a ninth storey window to check out Newton's law of gravity?

Wake up to whatsapp groups stressing about family with indefinite leave to remain, especially elderly parents who've been here for 50+ years. Because they are ahead in the polls, prudent people will take steps to mitigate now, but the economic and emotional cost of all this must be HUGE.

These demented old bastards will be the end of us all.

Reform is top headline on BBC. Again. Why does this continue? Why is BBC platforming this, with the vile cruel policy? Reform isn’t govt. It’s LibDem conference this week, and there’s virtually no live coverage of it, despite lots of policy announcements, and 72 MPs.

The population of my little flag heavy town in NE England is predominantly white, there are few members of ethnic minorities. Yet the first bus, at 0600, to leave for nearby Teesside was mainly passengers from ethnic minorities. Many were wearing lanyards, uniforms etc. Strange that....

Labour MPs are pushing ministers to delay the long-anticipated Elections Bill to include a ban on crypto being used for political donations observer.co.uk/news/politic...

In other news, "Nigel Farage went to the seaside today."

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

A Crowdfunder to save Beer Mill farm - 112 acres of rare, species rich land in Devon. There's matched funding, so your donation would be doubled. Please chip in if you can. @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @rewildingbritain.org.uk

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

There is only one really really wrong way to run asylum policy and that's the Tory way.

Goodbye, Disney+!

Disney's site is down on and off all day today, because of the number of people cancelling their services due to Disney's censorship and their attack on The American Constitution's First Amendment Rights. Let's do this, we are the majority, let's NOT be the silent majority.

Will watching Tadej Pogačar race through your village make you less likely to vote for a far-right party at the next election? A group of researchers in Italy think so…

I've seen a few posts describing the loss of dignity for the UK for hosting the orange idiot. And then I saw this photo of the king and 'queen'. We did it to ourselves. Let's just get rid of the miserable, entitled, useless fuckers.

10 good ideas for opposing the BBC-led procession for taking Farage into Downing Street.

Alex I truly feel for you, and my husband and I would love to cook you a meal. If only because I know that *right after* they target you, they’ll target us.

Alex nails it here. We ruled the world We killed and robbed... But we don't feel bad. (Actually that bit was Paul Weller.) But 70 years after the empire collapsed after the war and we begged our subjects to come here and help us rebuild, we'd like them to go again. Not me. Immigration is good.

Love this video of The Epstein Tower at Windsor Castle #TheEpsteinTower

Projected onto Windsor Castle for Trump’s arrival 👍

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.

Foreign billionaires don’t get to incite violence against Britain. We cannot stay silent. 1/5 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Our Government needs a revolutionary change... in the social media platforms it uses.

This seems to be key. Only one player in the UK has the critical mass to cause a move away from X and that is the government. Individual elected politicians as well as ministries, agencies, the BBC, .org.uks , .ac.uks etc. all need to be encouraged to follow.

Starmer's govt. is drinking in the last chance saloon. If EU SM & CU is not on the table as Labour policy for the next election then they've lost me. I simply don't understand why they behave like this. @steveracemp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

BBC anti active travel, again. Ok, BBC, lets have a day where EVERY single cyclist in the UK drives to work and see how you rate that congestion

Sounds like a leopard just ate someone's face.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

I've signed. Will you?

And here he is @darrenpjones.bsky.social . Whilst I'm at it, could you arrange to sack the Tory heads at the BBC please Mr Jones?

Er, no David. That won't happen.
