Memo to pretty much (but obviously not quite) everybody in the media…

The Tories brought us 15 years of austerity 15 years of NHS underfunding ready for privatising 15 years of thousands of people dying in 'eat or heat' poverty Whatever they say the ex-Tories now deciding policy for Reform UK plan to give us more of the same meme via Godfrey Combrink

Fascinating, unsettling thread.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

This is so smart - miles and miles of open track. Duh.

Imagine being the most decorated gymnast in history, almost dying, and media referring to you as “NFL Wife” as your greatest achievement.😑 Misogyny is a helluva drug. Smh. Truly hope Simone is safe and makes a full recovery. What a horrible experience.

More news from the party that supposedly protects woman and girls. Reform UK controlled councils in Essex have banned libraries from promoting International Women’s Day. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In literally any other job, if you repeatedly didn't show up, either at the office or your other place of work (constituency), you'd be fired. Just because he likes a beer doesn't make him edgy. It just means he knows how to make mugs of people. Enough.

Think about this research nearly every day now reading the news.

Just watch this… And for the love of God, please see Farage for what he is. His response to Sarah Everard Vs his response to Henry Nowak Jaw dropping.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Had to share - MSM seems to be ignoring it.

NET MIGRATION HAS FALLEN BY 82% SINCE ITS PEAK YET NEARLY HALF OF BRITONS INCORRECTLY BELIEVE ITS ACTUALLY INCREASED It’s a shocking indictment of the abject failure of UK news shows youtu.be/WuSKdLtKHCs?...

Further to the quoted... This is becoming a sort of national psychosis. I mean, look at defence. 😂

The reality after the local elections, not the bias situation spun by the news media.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

How many rules does this duplicitous spiv have to break before someone, somewhere actually holds him to account? #Farage #Reform #ReformUK

Surge in data centres to push water bills even higher. A large data centre needs 5m gallons a day. Prospect - dryer rivers, deeper droughts, water shortages. More carbon emissions, higher electricity consumption, power blackouts as data centres get priority. archive.ph/67qAE

Pffft.

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

Reform UK Treasurer and Donors Share London Address with Sanctioned Russian Oligarchs Reform UK’s Treasurer and three other donors have handed £1.55 million to Nigel Farage from Britain’s most expensive apartment block which is home to sanctioned Russian oligarchs and massive post-Soviet wealth

It’s getting ridiculous. Reform UK are now posting this “Farage was the first public figure to sound the alarm 5 years ago. Reform UK will detain and deport all illegal migrants” Let’s remind Farage how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT!

‘Nigel Farage Is the Architect of the Uk’s Decline and It’s Time for the Rest of Us to Rebuild Our Home in Europe’ The disastrous Brexit experiment imposed on us by the Reform UK leader and his allies must now be reversed, argues Caroline Lucas

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park." The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄 We now have an entire media who would rather see a Farage govt, leading to the demise of the NHS and an alliance with the far right US Christian Nationalist fuckers than support the govt we elected And its drift towards EU alignment Putin must be laughing his head off.

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!

The punishment of Eve for just using her apparently god given brain has to stop. Just because we cope with pain doesn’t make it acceptable. There is no virtue in suffering and no excuse for prolonging it. We’re not malingering.This is just so enraging.

Oh my!

Just as there were people who resisted the introduction of inside toilets, seatbelts, women’s votes, lead free toys etc Tice & his party are similarly reluctant to embrace what most people can clearly see is needed. Unimaginative, regressive, fact averse idiots. Let’s never let them run our country.

Well this is what happens when you don't pay attention. Thank you @atriumpoetry.bsky.social for putting this one out there.

This is a crucial report, shining a spotlight on the funding links between Russia, Hungary and the British mainstream right

Camp East Montana in El Paso Texas represents Trump's first effort to stand up a massive immigrant prison to hold people without trial. It's a tent city handily located at the site of a Japanese Internment site from World War Two: jacl.org/statements/n... www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

Artemis II sent a pic of the beautiful garden planet we are too greedy, lazy, short-sighted, and ungrateful not to destroy:

i think this is exactly right and it is part of what i was trying to get at last week when i wrote about the narcissism of the president and his allies. they fundamentally do not believe other people are real, and do not understand the decisions they make.

For pity's sake, someone stop her embarrassing her children any further.

Today in Kent: Reform UK councillors voted themselves an above inflation and above recommendation pay rise 💴 Overruled their own legal officer 📜 Silenced opposition voices 🔇 Ignored Electoral Commission guidance ⚖️ And rammed through a political stunt during purdah 🚫🗳️

Farage: "We want to massively restrict postal voting so it's only for people who really need it." Journalist: "Didn't you vote by post at the last election?" Farage: "Yes." Hypocrisy is lost on these 🤡🤡🤡🤡

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk? To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics The warnings are there for us all to see

A bunch of puerile frat boys, getting off on killing people. I do not have the vocabulary to express my disgust for this.

Show me what a lack of exposure to the Humanities looks like in policy terms. The rest of the population aren’t actually real to them.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)
