Matt Goodwin's lies about his background have hopelessly confused Google AI 😉

"Fossil fuel, meat + livestock producers have been funding far-right movements to stifle environmental protection measures that would reduce their profits. Such funding is a major driver of the fascistic politics that we now witness in the US." Explains *so much* going on in the world right now.

And ? Does anybody vote for Farage because they think he will do things for them ? Doubt it. You vote for Farage because of the things he promises to do to the people you don't like. He hardly ever turned up as an MEP, why would you think he'd turn up as an MP ?

What a mess. This is the damage done by social media lies and disinformation - aided by a government that subsidises and cossets the platforms that spread it. news.sky.com/story/uk-los...

The reason the Tory govt of Johnson & his successors was so atrocious was that was full of utterly corrupt, inept, culture war-obsessed, racist extremists who couldnt give a s***t about anyone other than themselves. Welcome to The Tory Govt that Broke Britain Mark II. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think about this post a lot

There are difficulties in cancelling all US based platforms (obvs). But do what you can. Like Amazon, Meta, Google…

Dublin City Council (for whole city of Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪) has stopped using X Twitter and moved to BlueSky @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

Horrifying. I don't have the words. I'm not sure any more are needed.

Two days ago, the official White House account (ignoring the fact penguins live in the Southern hemisphere) published this image ↙️. Someone has since ... how shall I say ... developed it. ↘️

Everyone should read this.

BBC having a totally normal one again, granting respectability and credence to their sworn enemies.

These celebrity Christians are never "I gave all my money away to the poor" just "if it all goes wrong I've got a special boat that can shoot people in the face"

The Grand Strategy would be: pull out of Brexit reset and even the base agreement; cause chaos in Northern Ireland; do rubbish thin trade deals when we're desperate; truckle to Putin and slow rearmament; strip ouy the welfare state; beg for scraps with the USA. That's electoral hemlock. (2/2)

Can we please stop calling him a strongman? This draft-dodging, flat-track, playground bully is anything but. Has he ever stood up to Putin or Xi Jinping? Trump is a coward — a lily-livered, yellow-bellied, bone-spurred coward. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NATO Article V has been triggered only once: by the US after 9/11. When our ally called, we in the UK didn't hesitate to stand with them. 636 British men & women paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many more living with their injuries today.

A video my daughter found on TikTok about the recent building demolition on Princes Street.

There's a clear message here, from Jack Dart.

Leveson 2+ is an urgent requirement for the government. Otherwise everything good they are doing now (yes, there is some good stuff) will be pissed-away under the forthcoming Rothermere-Murdoch regime when 🇬🇧 becomes a 🇺🇸 satellite.

Oh oh [in a Belfast accent] Nice soft borders you’re carelessly throwing away there, England, you careless, know-nothing, insular gits.

Swapping EU standards (in which Britain had a voice) for US standards (in which it does not) is not what Brexiters and Lexiters meant by "taking back control", I warrant.

Look who the DUP suck up to (link below pic) Morons who will follow any hate-monger going.

Thank goodness I'm not Angela Raynor, otherwise the press would have hounded me out of office.

Great Video by Demonflyingfox (whoever that is)

The White House posted the first frame. Here is the rest... (source: Pepel Klaasa on the other place)

We hear it all the time: Since the turn of the 2010s, thanks to the rise of tech, the US has pulled ahead economically. This idea is everywhere from Washington to Davos—and it's paralyzing Europe But it's simply not true! Let's look at what's really happening, with charts🧵

Example of Trump’s US trying to intimidate… Exemple de Trump qui tente d'intimider…

Can anyone explain to me why finance guys think that today was good for a bit of a bounce/recovery in share prices? Or are these tulip-tossers just random number generators?

Time the BBC News management was replaced with people who are not Trump/Farage friendly traitors to tolerant, democratic values.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Look at this and reconsider Trump’s claim that Putin wouldn’t have dared to invade if Trump were president. He clearly would have. Putin isn’t afraid of Trump because Trump is weak and compromised

Mark Carney's speech really is terrific: full text is here and very much worth your time.

The Carney speech is v good. More generally, I think it’s important that the UK & EU recognise that this is a new world. And waiting for the mid-terms or 2028 and things to get back to ‘normal’ isn’t good enough. Need to build the capacity & resilience to be less reliant on the US for security.

It is even worse than it looks

Went to Sainsbury’s today. I think it’s time all that California wine & Bourbon came off the shelves. Elbows Up & solidarity with 🇪🇺 🇨🇦 🇩🇰 & 🇳🇴

If you were loud enough to tell us that Trump would be the best thing to happen to Britain since Magna Carta, then you don’t get to disappear with a “no comment” or a “but geopolitics” or a “no one could have possibly known.” The Bear nails it.

Mark is right. Rejoin the EU, 🇬🇧.

“Madman Theory” only works if you’re known not to be mad. Others have to work out in which directions to hedge, to placate you. If you’re mad, anything could happen. No one can hedge in all directions. Your influence is nil. Danger is off the scale. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.

Dan O’Brien, chief economist at the Institute of International and European Affairs, says it cleanly. Britain is weaker outside the EU, and Europe is weaker without Britain, and Brexit has handed advantage to the bullies who see allies as leverage.

Yes. The reality is, we blew up one end of the bridge by leaving the EU; now Trump is blowing up the other end by being Trump.

Suggestion: Make Hugh Grant PM. Never mind the ‘Love Actually’ speech, the Unhacked Bill immediately breaks up our far-right billionaire controlled media and limits X & FB to moderated platforms.
