Appalling that Labour are almost neck and neck with a party that has publicly admitted it wants to move to a US-style health insurance model, but with the dreadful Wes Streeting as health secretary, combined with the ideological black hole that is Starmer and Reeves, perhaps not surprising.

Mainstream media orgs are incapable of covering the depravity of this administration because the truth sounds like bias. Impartiality doesn’t sound like impartiality when the reality is morally obscene

We’re stepping up to show the government that thousands of us are not backing down on stopping Rosebank. Send your personal message calling for this disaster project to be stopped 👇 actionnetwork.org/forms/the-go...

#EdMiliband needs to consider this very carefully. He knows that he is backtracking if he approves this, and he knows it is a climate disaster The UK can lead in not allowing further oil and gas Now is the time to do this Ed And tell #Keir and #Rachel where they can put the anti-climate greed

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

How many UK citizens working here have "A-level English"?

If you continue to hold on to your X account.. If you continue to drive a Tesla... If you continue using Starlink... Remember who and what you’re supporting. Elon Musk is paying Tommy Robinson’s legal costs. Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins

When authoritarians tell you they like authoritarianism, over and over and over and over and over again, believe them

Real Nobel Peace Prize material

Watching the Bibi & Don Show treat this like some grand victory, while people returning to northern Gaza dig the rubble for loved ones' remains, is pretty revolting.

Will this include a component on slaughterhouses and giant commercial fishing practices, so children can really understand where their food comes from?

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

These plans to cut affordable housing requirements in London highlight the absurdity of the system. Basically, when supply slows housebuilders have the system over a barrel. And so what gets delivered does not meet the biggest needs- for low cost housing. on.ft.com/4mGxgd3

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

How it started: How it’s going:

Is The Atlantic the new Free Press? 🤔

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

At what point will our media ask about Trump’s obvious mental decline? He’s so far gone that he does not remember he was president in January 6, 2021

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but that second paragraph reads like a somewhat gratuitous, cheap shot. And not really in keeping with the spirit of the first paragraph?

It beggars belief that 'serious' commentators still believe that Starmer can turn things around. He is the *most unpopular* PM of the modern era - more unpopular than Truss, FFS! Rightly so: Starmer has no moral or ideological core. He is a malfunctioning technobot, and voters know it.

According to media reports, Labour are about to engage on a mad attempt to blame future tax rises on "Farage's Brexit" having caused more damage than expected. Several gaping flaws: - "Make Brexit Work" - Constant Brexit red lines reinforcement - 14 years of the TORIES in power - Flatters Reform

His brain done broke! 🤪

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado. The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

It's never the comms. Labour's comms is grey because in the absence of a clear strategy for what the government wants to achieve, no-one can defend or articulate what the government says in an interesting or exciting way.

Robert Jenrick's gone full Nazi then...

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

"Ah yes, Mr. Soy Beans and I are gonna have discussions, great discussions, the likes of which Mr. Soy Beans and I have never had before."

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

www.ft.com/content/06fa... yes, it's the B-word that's about 1/3 of this.

Incredibly grim to learn that Jeff Bezos and his wife, in addition to hanging out with the Trump family, are huge fans of The Free Press, and see it as the future of media. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

#labour have learnt nothing

The discourse in the West for the next few days will be e.g. "for all the caveats, let's just be relieved". And no, let's not. That's a feeling for Palestinians, not us. Palestinians are human beings who deserve much better than the choice we've given them between genocide or colonial subjugation

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The psychopathy of Starmer and Reeves at this point is certifiable. There'll be no growth on a dead planet...

Josh Hawley and Yale Law School, ladies and gentlemen.

Worth remembering that Labour MPs sat on their hands as the British Government basically did the same to our international development ministry at around the same time - what little money is still in the "international aid" budget is overwhelmingly spent in the UK

This is simply Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves robbing Peter to pay Paul. Any boost to the economy will be swallowed up by the cost to the NHS and local services of dealing with the outcome of encouraging people to drink themselves stupid into the early hours. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Apple already banned an app that shared reports of ICE patrols' locations at the request of the Trump administration, and now this. Make no mistake: Tim Cook and Apple are collaborators. Never forget this.

Just imagine the thermonuclear reaction -- not just from Fox News, but the legacy media sphere -- if any Democratic president said this about the GOP during a speech to a military branch. Meanwhile, this won't even stay in the news cycle 24 hours, if at all.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this is not a Labour government. It is a Neo Conservative government that thinks the continuation of George Osborne's austerity is somehow going to produce the positive outcomes that'll give it long term electoral success.

Great to see Keir Starmer continuing to take the country with him after his not-at-all disingenuous speech at the Labour Party conference...

If Robert Jenrick walked around, say, Golders Green and saw mostly members of the Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish community, would he say the same thing? Or is it only places with fewer "white faces" that he would consider to be "the worst integrated"?

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

Another astonishing sign of incredible incompetence from the UK Conservatives. They can’t even get right the name of the country they want to represent. (Image via LBC political editor Natasha Clark)
