Peoples lives won’t be improved by Greens splitting the vote. Hubris from Polanski will hand it to Reform and sink the Greens for good in a GE . Political science is clear: dramatic, sudden swings big enough to flip a seat from 50%+ for one party to a minor party so rare under first‑past‑the‑post.

Dangerous pseudo science and arrogance that will hand it to Reform and sink the Greens for good in a general election. Political science is very clear on this: dramatic, sudden swings big enough to flip a seat from 50%+ for one party to a minor party are extremely rare under first‑past‑the‑post.

Arrogance from Polanski. Labour haven’t named a candidate. Studies show in locals people most likely to vote for candidates not parties. Labour 50.8% vote in 2024. Does it mean more to you to advertise your party than support best past the post? You will let Reform walk in by splitting the vote.

Putin keeps making a complete fool out of naive gullible Taco Don Trump who keeps insisting that Putin is the one who wants peace & Zelensky doesn't. And Trump says how nice Putin was to him by agreeing not to bomb Kyiv during the frigid cold, & hours later Putin bombs the shit out of Kyiv.

“As you start to walk, on the way, the way appears.” Rumi, 12th Century Persian (Farsi) Poet. Meaning: Clarity doesn’t come before action, it comes from action.

Minnesota tactics being deployed in the U.K. to misidentify individuals. Live facial recognition up in the high court. Making catastrophic mistakes. Tracking technology used to track children as young as 12.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

Way to go Gavin!

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Serious political party. Reform U.K.

Absolutely horrified by the brutal killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. There is no justification, no excuse for a government to unleash this kind of violence on its own citizens. Those responsible must be held to account. This is not a partisan question, but a matter of decency and equal justice.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Hundreds of people stigmatically gathered minutes after the Alex Pretti murder by Trump's regime forces. The regime labeled them rioters and moved against the crowd; since then, hundreds more have joined. Protests are also breaking out across the U.S., with palpable anger in the air. #3E

Noem's lies are mind blowing: "This individual attacked those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple, dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers, coming, brandishing like that.

Here they go! Video contradicts Trump administration version on Minnesota killing. bsky.app/profile/trum... bsky.app/profile/trum...

Live Updates: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man

An oldie

Robert Jenrick had already ordered murals welcoming unaccompanied children be painted over at an asylum facility and stood with Eddie Butler - Combat 18 Neo-Nazi organiser at the asylum seeker residence in Epping prior to leaving govt . He, never had an issue speaking his mind.

Donald Trump is a genuine friend to the United Kingdom - Farage

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

OMG what a find 😆 the global “bullshitterati” in Davos is EPIC. Someone tell Susie Dent. Farage

When a picture paints a thousand words. Minnesota @startribune.com incredible photo storytelling on the front page today. ICE agents .

Suzy Eddie Izzard: 70 marathons for charity. Speaks 4 languages. Honoured for intellect, compassion, and courage. Champions refugees, unity, and justice. You, Lee Anderson? You sew hatred and division for a living, while claiming expenses to do so.

With £9m from Crypto tech billionaire Christopher Harborne (currently living cheaply in Thailand) you can bet Farage won’t be getting poorer any time soon.

Left: Keir Starmer, "We risk becoming an island of strangers" Right: Mark Carney, "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness"

Same 😀

I think the Daily Mail is actually verging into sedition and subversion and treason.

Filed my tax return last week. Wondering what the HMRC would have done if I'd neglected to declare £380,000 on account of the fact that "I don't do computers." #Farage

If you want to know why we need to consign the heinous thinking of neoliberals to history, note this from the FT on Trump's plan to redevelop Gaza, this afternoon. Do Palestinian's feature? Not once...

🧵I’m no great fan of Keir Starmer, but calling him “the most sinister politician we’ve ever had” when we’ve had Johnson, Patel, Braverman, Jenrick, Gove, Zahawi and Mandelson, isn’t just absurd. It shows how broken our political discourse has become. That comparison it’s just performance isn’t it.

Won't someone PLEASE, for the sake of all that's rational, give him some sort of prize to limit the worldwide damage he's been doing on a daily basis? #ThankYouForYourAttentionToHisDementia 🙏

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

EXACTLY. Wake the fuck up already.

Quite apart from the obvious narcissistic derangement, a) the Norwegian government does not award the peace prize; and b) there is a written document - the US agreed with Denmark not to pursue territorial claims to Greenland

TODAY: Massive protests erupt in Greenland and Denmark as people take to the streets to show their unity against the United States threat

🧵We must stop focusing solely on controlling kids and start regulating tech bros at source. This might feel controversial or against the prevailing advice of Jonathan Haidt but true safety requires a mix of 3 things: a safe product, a responsible platform, and supported young people.

🧵🧵Watch Henry Hill try to disassociate Conservatives from the likes of Robert Jenrick. In August Jenrick joined Neo-Nazi groups, COMBAT 18, and Homeland at the Bell Hotel Epping, the same day white supremacy group White Vanguard were leafleting.

Mathematicians rely on numbers, but finding words to explain different levels of certainty has stymied everyone from the ancient Greeks to the most famous modern philosophers. Maths columnist Jacob Aron tells the story of how a CIA analyst finally cracked it

1/ Something which I don't think gets articulated clearly often enough is that a system where countries generally respect international sovereignty and territorial integrity is not pure charity or morality by the United States, but in its direct interests. Despite it being the strongest bear.
