www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Where are the fucking riots?

Let's boost my petition today which calls for stronger regulation of all our news media through the creation of a single, powerful regulator across broadcast, print and online news, with powers to action on misinformation and the blurring of fact and opinion! Currently at just over 2700 signatures!

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk is quite right and it is great to hear a party leader say it.

NHS England admits it has been lying about Palantir’s effectiveness. Whilst the systems we build ourselves are producing better results with faster systems and happier medics.

“Mankind will reach maturity on the day it learns to value diversity —of life and ideas. ... The worst thing that could happen is for all of us to look and think and act alike.” — Gene Roddenberry I'm guessing Pauline Hanson is no fan of #StarTrek. #auspol #diversity #multiculturalism

“We’ve only had 114 years to do something, let our kids sort it out!”

#Farage telling everyone that no one is interested in his dodgy 5 million quid crypto donation, should be met with cold hard rage…

Apparently this is a controversial statement in a writing group I belong to on that other sm site. No-one is forcing you to read diverse books, but to do so makes you a better writer and makes for a more interesting read. #WriteSky #Booksky #PrideMonth #LGBTQ

Farage is getting really tetchy, he like the thin skinned man baby in Washington doesn't like being held to account #r4today

It shows how mad and frankly ungovernable our country is right now by this one statement. “Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister Britain has ever had? Worse than Liz Truss and Boris Johnson? This country has lost all sense of proportion.

That “small majority” is still bigger than the “majority” that voted to leave!! Brexit was ridiculously stupid and the fact we smashed everything up because of such a small vote difference in an ADVISORY referendum will never not make me angry.

Says the most professional of professional politicians. Leader of not 1, not 2 but 3 political parities and before that he was a Tory. Stood 8 times for parliament and served 5 terms in the European Parliament. Farage is the establishment. Never let him tell you otherwise.

As every day passes we’re all poorer outside the EU. Most Britons are now pro EU. Burnham’s top priority should be to map out with the EU, a democratic pathway giving Britain the option to rejoin. No more dithering! It’s crucial to our prosperity and security. #RejoinEU Today’s Observer:

Want to know why we currently cannot trust what The Observer says about Starmer? The current Observer editor was editor of the Times from 2007 to 2012. Starmer was DPP from 2008 to 2013, where he prosecuted several people in the media over the phone hacking scandal. 1/2

"This is how misinformation spreads. A three-year-old child is thrown into a crocodile enclosure. Before the facts are known ... Ant Middleton immediately turns it into a political rallying cry about Labour, borders, British culture and the supposed collapse of the nation" via Truth Against Hate

"Reform’s Zia Yusuf has threatened to strip Serco of government contracts because the company reportedly doesn’t want to be involved in Reform’s mass deportation plans." via Reform Are Not Your Friends

Reform councillors think that like Nigel Farage they're entitled to a big salary + expenses for being absent & doing no work ... "​Under current rules, councillors can actually go up to 6 months without attending a single meeting before they face losing their seats. " www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Terry Donegan is Reform UK’s candidate in the Dowlais and Pant, Merthyr Tydfil by-election next week. He’s a vaccination conspiracy theorist. Reform UK doesn’t seem to understand the danger it is putting people in by platforming anti-vax candidates. It’s a reckless pursuit of power.

Britain says rejoin

Its a shocking indictment of UK media that people don’t understand what Farage’s policies will inflict on the country - if they did support would quickly melt away youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

It’s time to team up with our neighbours again! A growing majority now say they support rejoining the EU northeastbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

National Rejoin March 🙌

Today, Sir Ed Davey addressed our event, calling on Labour to scrap their red lines on the customs union and single market, so that "we can get on with properly fixing our relationship with Europe.” The UK's future is in Europe. We can only do that if we forget the outdated boundaries of the past.

Suella Braverman claims Reform are defending women’s rights with the new “Women and Motherhood Protection Act” but here is the thing: 1. Reform would scrap the Equality Act that protects pregnant women from being sacked, harassed, or demoted at work. (1/3)

Petition alert: I know there's lots of them but this one needs to get to 100,000 by the end of the month My good friend Nansi asked me to do a video to help raise awareness that widows used to get 18 years of support but now it's cut to 18 months Please sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Who gains from less public scrutiny at Reform Council meetings? Incompetent and/or corrupt councillors "In a concerning move away from transparency and accountability, it seems that Reform Sunderland may be planning to remove public accessibility to council meetings" via Sunderland GP

When it comes to public speaking Farage will say whatever gets the most money When it comes to money Farage will say whatever buys him a few more days free from public and official scrutiny via Michael Crane

A week since Nigel Farage said "so what?" to his candidate calling himself a sexist was probably not the ideal moment for Reform to announce a Women and Motherhood Protection Act. But here we are...

France is leading the way by enacting a total ban on harmful chemical treatments to protect our essential pollinators. Bees are the backbone of global agriculture and food security. Let us hope that more countries follow this incredible example.

Yesterday Israel announced that it will never leave the areas in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank or Syria (Who they haven't been at war with) that they illegally occupy. Western Media didn't even mention it.

"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed" Labour peer Peter Hain in the Lords in July last year

The Times used to have a reputation as the paper of record. Now it regurgitates Farage's white nationalist bullshit without an iota of critical thought, dissenting opinion or reference to the actual facts (and does so a few days after race riots in Northern Ireland)

And yes, there is empirical, peer-reviewed support for the conclusion that climate deniers, in general, are truly awful human beings: spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Does he have a point?

Britain today: Arming perpetrators of genocide terror = OK Peacefully protesting against genocide = terrorism

A very flawed paper that anti-vaxxers use to support the false conclusion that vaccines cause autism was retracted last week because of “concerns about methodology…and conclusions”. Of course RFK Jr. in his role as HHS Secretary is now demanding an explanation. Here it is: the data are shite.

The wealthiest one percent are now responsible for more deaths than all geological hazards combined...

I want a president who investigates people who sexually assaulted women in the Epstein files, not a president who investigates a woman he sexually assaulted.

No. No. Just no. This is how to help Nigel Farage become the next Prime Minister. When funding defence is reduced to stealing from other budgets – "robbing Peter to pay Paul" – then you have LOST. Funding defence MUST mean creating new economic and social growth that adds revenues to budgets.

Nigel Farage’s says ‘Pride is not needed anymore’ How fucking dare he! We don’t have freedom from prejudice, institutional bias. Homophobic crimes up 20% on the last 5 yrs. Trans people face unprecedented attacks. LGBTQ people, fight back to make sure he never gets in power. #Pride
