@andrewhunterm.bsky.social Just listened to No Such Thing as a Fish 587. No biplanes in WWII?! The Royal Navy ended the involvement of the Italian Navy in the Med with Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers in Nov. 1940. In May 1941, Swordfish sank the Bismarck. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairey_...

Michael de Adder @deadder.bsky.social ✍️ #cartoons #musk #trump #USA Elon Musk: Supervillain

So, Space Karen persuaded a court to rule that he was a founder of Tesla, despite not in any way being involved in the founding of Tesla because... cash. When will he tell Drumpf's Supreme Court to rule that he was one of America's Founding Fathers? He paid enough for the Presidency, after all...

From 2014, wonder whatever happened to this Farage guy who was criticised by families of survivors for politicising the grooming gangs?

One of instagators of the far right riots has just been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison Thanks go to @hopenothate.org.uk 🙏🏼

The Elon Musk saga has exposed Reform’s soft underbelly Nigel Farage's willing association with fringe and extreme actors makes it easier for opponents to admonish Reform as fringe and extreme My Latest for @politics-co-uk.bsky.social 👇 www.politics.co.uk/politicslunc...

Musk’s latest intervention is objectively hilarious but the problem of a hideous human using his enormous wealth & power to promote lies & liars in the U.K., despite having no links to or other interest in the country, remains acute.

I've just shut up the East Wing, reduced Simmonds to a 5 day week, and sacked Rogers the chauffeur for much the same reason. Seems I'll have to drive the children back to school in the Bentley myself this Easter term.

Biden’s legacy: The America that Cheesus will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that what’s been handed to any newly elected president since George W was given a SURPLUS and squandered it.

It’s like watching speed dating

Reform MP who has been incessantly tweeting about muslim rape gangs these last few days was actually previously jailed for kicking his girlfriend. That's how much these guys care about women.

All the Big Government Reforms the Media Hasn’t Been Telling You About You won’t have read much about these announcements over the past few weeks @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2024/12/20/l...

"Your Majesty, would you like to enjoy a refreshing beverage while you wait for the country you paid for?"

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

Finally, a headline that sums up (some, not all) of the costs of Brexit 5 in just 5 years #Brexit www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

'England's beaches are full of sewage, rubbish and sanitary products - Brexit is to blame'. Sewage dumping illegal in the EU, is normalized. More houses built without water infrastructure investment. Companies boost profits by abusing people and there is no effective regulator archive.ph/cXAAl

Musk is acting like a Russian proxy, doing his best to upset the world apple cart. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

💯% - The Conservative govt’s relentless focus on small boat crossings and delays processing asylum claims played a role in stoking August’s UK riots, the chair of the Commons equalities committee has said “I can’t help but think that the backlog was deliberate“ It was a political choice they made”

I’m with Harry.

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled. He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off. We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

And yet the U.K. Government still use his site.

Musk’s obsession with sparking a culture war in the UK has been evident for some time, but this particular tweet,the grossly inciteful language, crosses a line. It demands a response from every one of Phillips’s colleagues, & certainly the PM himself. www.theneweuropean.co.uk/a-loudmouth-...

MPs and peers could be forced to submit to criminal record checks under proposals submitted by a new Labour MP Many local authorities already run DBS checks on elected officials but it's not standard practice in parliament news.sky.com/story/parlia...

UK's regressive tax system. Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%. Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%. Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%. No govt plans to end inequity. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech? We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

This is indeed true! www.epi.org/publication/...

I hate when kids learn Santa isn’t real because they’re one step away from figuring out I don’t exist either.

Playing with the Seestar S50 tonight.

The time that Elon Musk got told it exactly as it is.

Trump was right about one thing. Immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans. Elon just took his job. 🤣

President Musk is really effing things up www.thealtmedia.com/p/president-... There were no many good notes to highlight, I could not choose just one.

No shit…

Trump is rumored to be irked that everywhere he goes co-president Elon shows up. Perhaps somebody should have informed The Donald that when you let somebody buy you, expect him to spend a lot of time hanging out with you to make sure he got his money’s worth.

Sound about right.

During the May administration, Angela Merkel could barely sneeze without being accused of foreign intervention in British politics. Now apparently it's fine to go around the world, cap in hand, begging for them to interfere, like you're in a fucking Dickens novel.
