Our economic woes are caused by Brexit, (Ukraine), Covid, Brexit’s ugly baby - our dismal immigration policy, Truss budget, 14yrs of austerity… All rightwing policies. Quite mad that our media acts as if Labour’s budget is the end of days, when they failed to adequately scrutinise any of that👆shit.

"but what do you do when there's no sun or wind!?" youtube.com/shorts/dukhg... Just burn some gas! At least in the short term. But at least we'll get cheaper cleaner leccy the rest of the time (And we already have an excess of electricity at night, so don't worry too much about solar)

Just watching BBC's Civilisations: Rise and Fall, www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002mr9p Rome: Huge parallels between the world leading up to the Sack of Rome by Aleric, the Goth and current direction of travel currently with the imbalance of wealth of the super-rich. Who will be our Aleric?

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

And in other news... #Starmer, who I think means well is too timid to go beyond #Labour 's tried, tested and now inadequate MO As PM, he should be capable of both walking AND chewing gum! ✔️ Tactical, traditional fare like supporting people & economy AND ❌ Strategic constitutional & EU reforms! 👇🏽

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Voting #reformuk is like asking the bull to tidy up the china shop. * #Farage fought for Brexit * Farage got Brexit * Now the same idiots who bought his Brexit lies want to put him in charge of recovering from the unrecoverable clusterfuck that is Brexit! eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Let’s play fair with taxes. MEPs ask that firms making over 1 million euro in revenue in an EU country count as established there for tax purposes. This means digital companies pay taxes where they are effectively making profits. 🔗 Read more: link.europa.eu/dYqbQt

Sorry everyone following me, I tend to 'like' art and victims of Auschwitz automatically. If it's too much, let me know and I'll scale it back. Love to all 🥰

I'm no football follower but congratulations to Scotland for a very impressive and exciting 4-2 win over Denmark.

BBC should pay nothing to Donald Trump, ex-director general Lord Tony Hall says

Atlantic salmon in stretch of Derbyshire river 'extraordinary'

Clarke one of the smartest politicians i've seen. here again, i think he nails it. the SM/CU is a no-brainer for me, but #reformatory would scream EU!!!!! if any attempt was made to do so. #lies #damnedLies #politicians

Farage: epic grifter

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

A message to every Londoner, and anyone who talks our city down.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

@therestpolitics.bsky.social This is great. Probably intended as satire but should be the structure of a non-compromise approach for the BBC. No out-of-court settlement.

Recently bought an AppleTV. Don't tell me there's no room for design improvements

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Yes. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives on a charge of "Incitement of insurrection" and was declared guilty by 57 senators on 13 February 2021. The fact this was below the required 2/3 majority for actual conviction doesn't stop it being a fact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_...

@europarl.europa.eu @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Is Europe doing anything about Google's anticompetitive practices masquerading as security where developers have to pay & register? It's a play against free & open source independent competition and must be stopped. It's catastrophic, please act soon!

@daraobriain.bsky.social Just listened to your Teleportation episode of Curious Cases. Occasionally for the credulous, I'd claim that they could use 'ParcelFax', to get a quick delivery, but I do warn them that they can expect the delivered parcel to be a bit lumpier due to voxelisation.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Angles, Saxons, Normans. foreigners, the lot of them. most every problem that the UK suffers to this day can be attributed to those immigrants swarming into this country!

Finland knows that Socialism works. They house all the homeless people, and have the least in the world. They closed all paid Education in 1976 and now have the best education system in the world. They are the happiest country in the world. Be like Finland.

American Christians love to point at other cultures as Barbaric, backwards, dirty criminals etc. I can't think of anything more dirty & disgusting than adult men marrying children, to rape, control, breed & abuse. IT'S ABSOLUTELY SICKENING! Every NORMAL country in the world BANS CHILD MARRIAGE!

@sajidmosaic.bsky.social Please explain to me why you follow thousands of people and yet post so little. I normally block accounts like this but I'm keen to understand your logic.

Wikipedia vs Elon Musk In a world of algorithms and AI slop, the simple joy of aimlessly wandering through a website of ideas is worth preserving. ✍️ www.linestotake.com/p/wikipedia-... My newsletter, out now.

This is a legit brilliant idea. Anyone here know Obama and can persuade him to do it?

Don't worry @awscloud.bsky.social users. All the mainframes are still up and working fine!

definitely worth a read. basically nails it.

Be a Joe!

Life cycle of a record 😁

@liambyrnemp.bsky.social Just heard you on R4 Today. You and the government seem woefully out of touch on clear paths to making enterprises more digitally resilient. If you search 'Joe biden zero trust' and click on and read the CISA & M-22-09 links, you'll see that there are robust strategies 1/3

Please may I have permission to flick the nose of anyone who says "that's a very good question Greg" (other question posers are available). It's so meaningless! What they mean is "mmm, let me think about that for a moment!"

Could you send a PS please? Ask the government to come off Twitter and use any other social media to get public messages across. The government should not be putting money in Musk's pocket when he is trying to undermine the rule of law in this country. You might ask the Tories to move as well.

Just look at what happened with solar investment - it’s astonishing. Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

Leaked files cast doubt on the legality of £2.6m Tory donations. Money from billionaire arms dealer, Canadian citizen resident in Monaco, was recorded in his wife's name. Donors get access to policymakers, govt contracts, shape policies. Donations are part of political corruption. Must be banned.

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!
