My IRL "In The Wild" conversation with a normie about Andy Burnham. A thread 👇

Imagine if someone did a deepfake grok vid of Starmer being kind to refugees. He’d have X banned tout suite

Daily Mail confused again. Not uncomfortable supporting women in Iran or calling out the regime’s digital blackout. What is uncomfortable is the hypocrisy of those supporting genocide in Gaza while pretending to be champions of human rights. Silent when journalists are banned.

We’re leaving X. Not for clicks. Not for politics. For safety, democracy and basic responsibility. We won’t stay on a platform that fails children, enables deepfake abuse and fuels disinformation. But this is not an exit from the conversation. It’s a move to better spaces. Come with us. 1/2

Perhaps you and @greenparty.org.uk could lead the way by becoming the first political party to close down their X accounts, please? Isn’t it time we officially distanced ourselves from the cess pit that X has become? (With my apologies if this has already been done: I haven’t been on X post-Musk)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but vegan battered sausages are elite 👌

I deleted my x account the other day. There was a time when my twitter got 2 million views a month. That time is long gone now and I think it's time the Green Party left X. We can live without the votes of nazi, sex, abuse bots.

This is obviously the right decision. It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just checking - this is the 'well-trained, good law enforcement' that we keep being told about, yeah? Not the evil one?

Jimmy The Giant's video on "The Dark Rise of LooksMaxxing" contains a sponsor segment (not a YouTube ad) for a hair transplant clinic. But Jimmy has a full head of hair, so he arranged for his balding mate to give a testimonial for their services instead. Talk about "mixed messages". WTF?

The Onion needs to stop posting REAL news and get back to satire now 😆

This. Absolutely. And that inability to understand the word “enough” is what is destroying the planet.

Meta platforms would become the go-to for journalists in the UK. But Threads, FB and IG were not designed for breaking news. During previous Twitter exoduses journalists complained that Threads wasn't a good Twitter substitute. Meta's response at the time was literally "that's not what its for".

Took me a lot longer than it should have done to get this one 😆

This is the way! I am waiting for the remaining Green accounts to make the same move. The neoliberal parties will eventually be forced to focus on other platforms as well. Don't follow. LEAD.

The world’s richest 1% have burned up their fair share of carbon for the year in just 10 days. The climate and inequality crises are one and the same. We need: 💰 Wealth taxes on the super-rich 🚫 Ban on private jets

Isn't that just a graph of population density in England and Wales? It looks remarkably like "UK street-lighting as seen from space".

The way Trump has weaponised liberal Russophobia and Sinophobia to justify annexing Greenland is amusing to me. Liberals wants us to believe that somehow, the "Law of the Jungle" does not apply to NATO countries. Trump reminds us "no, the Law of the Jungle is universal".

Eugh, was kind of just asked to use ChatGPT to translate a ORM query to SQL at work and granted it saved 15 minutes but I need a shower and to brush my teeth and scrub my skin and remove this sin

Can you tell the difference between these two things? 1. Refusal to comply with an illegal order. 2. Advising a commander that a particular course of action is unwise and suggesting alternative courses of action. US liberals want you to believe that there is no difference between them 🙃

Grok is the problem. Grok is getting bad. Grok is a serious problem. Oh no, my bad it’s just the MEN using it that are the fucking danger as they always were and always will be. As you were. Grok, AI and the Not All Men get in the sea please.

Threads is the bad place. I know we talk shit on X all the time and whoa boy does it deserve it, but the discourse on threads is just so venomous. I wouldn’t dare share a single thought over there.

The framing of these people as "anti-Israel activists" by Channel 4 is extremely sus. Why not "pro-Palestine activists"? Nick Fuentes isn't on hunger-strike for Palestine, the last time I checked 🤔

If Farage ever becomes PM, no doubt shitlibs in the UK will be saying "oh these mass arrests, deportations and invasions are just a distraction from that one time Nigel paid a sex worker to pee in his mouth" or something equally asinine and unhelpful.

If you're still on X at this point, regardless of how much clout you have or don't have, I would urge you to show minimal solidarity with women and girls. GTFO the platform. www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

The Guardian usually reserves the snarl word "regime" for governments that get in the way of US/UK/EU imperialism, but now that white ladies doing the school run are getting shot in the face by ICE goons, the US is also a "regime". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Stop with this facile nonsense. Trump isn’t being a bully-boy imperialist with a hard-on for military invasion and coups to distract you. He’s doing it because that’s what we do. That’s who we are. America is the foremost imperialist power on earth. Our military blankets the globe.

Libs saying that Trump is doing imperialism and brutal repression at home to distract from the Epstein Files demonstrates that they have no problem with imperialism or domestic repression as long as the guy doing it isn't a sex offender 🤷

"They claim they are pro democracy, anti dictatorship...but they want to install a king!" History repeats itself, as our government get behind yet another regime change that will end up benefitting no one but American corporations. @turnleftmedia.co.uk @thecanaryuk.bsky.social

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens

Yup. The worst thing about Trump (in terminally liberal mind) is that he’s fat and rumored to have sucked dick, not the actual atrocities.

The imperial boomerang is currently smacking the shit out of the imperial core.

This Pick Me colluder is telling us that they have no problem with X's content, its owner and would rather stay on it as it's familiar and comfortable. Dressing it up as fighting predators is a dangerous lie.

Notice the anomalies caused by FPTP. Political parties need to be ruthless about targeting their limited resources for campaigning in the run up to an election.

No AI slop!

A sobering reminder that as bad as our politicians and journalists are rn, elements of the general public can be just as vile. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Members of Liverpool Green Party joined up with the St Michael’s and Lark Lane Wombles this morning for a community litter pick in some lovely winter sunshine

They need to work harder, stop eating avocado toast and pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

lol

How exactly is a 'ban on X' meant to work? Turkish and Russian attempts to do similar blocks have been failures. Ineffective due to VPNs or wildly overblocking using DPI at ISPs. So how would a UK government attempt to block X? What is being proposed here in concrete terms?

The cliche about Farage is what an affable bloke he is. Watching a Sky News segment on Zack last night where they interviewed Nigel, I could immediately see where this impression came from. I can't say the same about any Tory, any prick on the Labour front bench or any other grifter on X. 👇

I fucking DESPISE the LibDems. They won't be your salvation. Very recent history should have told you that

"I think Zack should work with the Lib Dems" says a user with no pfp and an empty timeline. "I don't like Zack's position on NATO. Hurr durr Brexit. Damn you Corbyn!" says user26276751 Ukraine emoji, Israel emoji.
