@theguardian.com Oh it is indeed #bluemonday yet again I can't find a copy of The Guardian at any nearby stores. As a subscriber I need to know I can get my hands on a copy every day. #deliveryfail

Man who helped break Britain complains that it is broken...#RJenrick #Reform these people constantly talk our country down despite facts to the contrary. #notruth

Given the influx of former #tory ministers, maybe #reform should rebrand as #return of the nasty party! #selfserving money grabbers.

Great, I would love to catch up. #altc

Time to stop saying 'please' and 'thanks' to those AI bots.... this is the era of Musk and Vance!

I'm glad #Labour are listening to concerns about #digitalIDs Too many risks to go down this route. #privacy #broligarchy #USA

#totp 1987 on the other hand saw the start of a much happier time for me. And some real class acts

#totp 1982 captures the essence of my life at the time - miserable, loveless and ugly. Thank god it is over.

Hey remember in the 2012 Olympics when they made an entire scene about the nhs and there was the big monster over the hospital beds that tried to hurt everyone? Yeah. That was them showing us what they planned.

Animals all around the country are being killed using catapults that have been easily bought in shops and online. We need to ban the sale of catapults to those under the age of 18 to stop these horrific killings. Add your name now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

"We find that AI and bullshit are similar in the sense that both prioritize rhetoric over truth. They mix true, false, and ambiguous statements in ways that make it difficult to distinguish which is which. AI sounds convincing even when it's wrong."

Ensh*tification here we go...

"felt mislead on our behalf" says Chris #Mason on #bbcnews laughable! We can do our own thinking Chris, I wonder whose paying you to be so annoying??

#bbcnews still trying to make a story out of a successful #budget

@bbclaurak.bsky.social your supporters would prefer to pay next to nothing to their workers and don't care about the impact on our children. They exploit people and as landlords they preside over unhealthy living conditions. #nasty

@bbclaurak.bsky.social talking over your guests is so rude. Didn't see you do that to #Boris despite his breaking every promise and the #spirit of British people

Fully coated, fully funded. Listen up @bbclaurak.bsky.social the right would love to make a story out of their spin, we need better journalists.

I pay for a subscription to the #TheGuardian in order to get balanced and informative news like this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The #speaker is a supply teacher dressed as a sixth former. Useless. #budget

#speaker do your job! The howling and barracking must stop. #budget

Appalling behaviour from #tory party members when #Reeves stands to deliver her budget. Mysoginist rabble. #budget

So important that we open our eyes to this.

As families face rising bills, and extreme weather causes devastation around the world, oil and gas companies shouldn’t get a tax break. Tell Chancellor Rachel Reeves to not turn her back on climate and communities. Add your name >> act.gp/3LrcnFI
