Zuckerberg has always been a trash human ~ALWAYS. Remember how Facebook began. Never used it. Never will.

No justice no peace

Everything I see and hear from Zarah Sultana makes me think she's a right royal pain in the arse. And not the effective type...

Britain has lost its balance. In many jobs, if you go off with stress for 6 months you're welcome, no discipline, if you have 3 odd sick days due to whatever, you're straight into some process.

What idiot first dreamed up a need for insanely long home WiFi passwords? How secure do they imagine a home WiFi needs to be? It's not the nuclear codes!

Oh god no.. We had enough with Doris and Boris.

I know I keep coming back to it, but Starmer's barring of Burnham... I'm still aghast. Stupid, stupid decision. A magnanimous gesture to Burnham could have got Mancs onside. It could have been the green shoots of the resurgence Labour so desperately needs. But little, insecure Keir scuppered it.

The Labour government is encouraging this. In terms of the climate, they are part of the problem.

Not often you see rats swimming *towards* a sinking ship.

We are not here to be disappointed by Labour anymore. At the by-election in Gorton and Denton, we are here to replace them. This election is a two-way race now - Greens Vs Reform.

Much has been said about the Burnham challenge. Ultimately, my beliefs are these: Labour is in desperate trouble just now, there are probably many reasons, but I'm sure one is Starmer's inability to connect with voters.

After the local elections, someone will still run against Starmer and win. The sad thing about today is it won’t be Burnham and he was the only one I could see going on to win the general election. So this is a bad day for Labour and anyone who still cares about the party.

Decision by "Labour ruling committee" 🤣 Yeah, right, its STARMER STARMER STARMER STARMER STARMER as usual, desperately trying to save his own skin, not helping his party and our nation, like the scared, weak, small minded man he so obviously is.

We are waiting for the rest of the free world to start responding to the US as they would any other country under fascist rule. Embargoes, sanctions, they all apply to the manner in which the regime is conducting the affairs of the US. We will suffer but it will be worth it to out the fascists.

I have lost all patience with self-proclaimed cynics desperate to pretend that their quisling cowardice in the face of evil is wisdom.

The US totalitarian regime in action. If you'd typed that 10 years ago people would have said you were mad. Now, it's a blindingly obvious reality.

instead of lashing out at "coups" and "plots" by Burnham, Streeting etc, have Team Starmer considered just... being less shit at governing?

This was always a scam. Blair set up this loans company, then decided many jobs needed a degree to be eligible. Students have routinely been lied to about the interest rates. My own kids were.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

Compare Starmer's statement on Greenland on Monday with Carney's magnificent, world influencing speech later in the week, or Macron's comments. Starmer tries to assert his opinion, but he'll never stand peer to peer with this class of world leader. He's just not on their level.

You need to listen to this whole thing.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nGo... FFS its like Lockwood's dream in Wuthering Heights. The first of the seventy first. I quit watching. Does it ever stop? He'll still be on that podium next week, droning on.

POTUS 47 either has dementia or he's had a stroke. He's rambling nonsense and repeating the same points endlessly.

US is not a reliable ally. Keeping ourselves tied to Trump doesn’t help us and doesn’t help our neighbours. Stella is gaslighting, sorry to say.

WTF is Packham doing making his "important announcements" on X?

This is what leadership looks like. Not by grabbing all the limelight for themselves to big up their ego. By allowing others to flourish and acknowledging their strengths.

Appeasing Trump. OECD exempts US companies from global minimum tax rules. Trump binned previous treaty. UK to pay 25% more for drugs sold to the NHS by US companies. UK remuneration of private equity execs taxed as capital gain instead of wages. Capital gains taxed at lower rate than wages.

Typical small-man petulant rant from Philp on BBC Today.. Bit of dog whistle racism thrown in for good measure.

Ofcom just sat in Parliament and suggested the reason they haven't upheld single complaint on climate coverage since 2020 is that "broadcasters that we regulate have a good understanding of the code and they are complying with the rules". This is what they've been green-lighting...

Its starting to look quite hilarious that Reform claim they're so totally different from the busted flush Tories. They're becoming absolutely stuffed with busted flush Tories. Anybody with any previous profile - BANG - straight in, no kissing...

The US needs more people to do this.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Do not visit the US, you're not safe, even as a holidaymaker.

Trump apparently just fabricates world news to suit his agendas. He's totally invented a sudden cessation of violence in Iran. Next it'll be "We have to go into Greenland because we're seeing a wave of hangings".

This behaviour was seen in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Mao's China. But back when Obama was POTUS, what odds would you have given against seeing it in the US within 10 years?

So this is what Farage wants to do with his precious Brexit ‘sovereignty’: sell out our NHS to Trump’s America and grub for power in the misery of its collapse. Such a cynical, malignant politician. Happy to lie to our faces, weaken our rights and break what we value, if it enriches him. (iPaper)

Starmer and Labour lied about this to justify continuing to post on Musk's racist, paedo manufacturing, and sexual assault site. They keep lying, and keep getting found out. It's really not a good look. #PoliticsLive bsky.app/profile/nath...

In England it is necessary to slaughter the policies of a government minister occasionally, "pour encourager les autres"!

Do people in the US get off on having some Gestapo style thug army randomly terrorising innocent folks? As long as it isn't them? Plenty still support Trump, we're led to believe, so presumably they do...

"We'll leave that to Trump to do" are the unspoken words.

There are few things more pathetic than a web ad with a cross, top right, which, instead of closing the popup, enters you into the ad. Some surprisingly big players are guilty of this shittery, like @flightradar24.com

He's not great, but nowhere near Johnson or Truss. But the piece is right - he's utterly hated. I don't think there is a "purifying clarity" about Starmer hatred though. There's a horrifying vacuous mindlessness to it, which shows how far our society has deteriorated. I think it can go lower though

It's not a surprise the NHS isn't a standout performer in patient outcomes. Surprisingly large numbers of improperly trained staff are allowed to diagnose, prescribe and carry out complex procedures unsupervised. It's not supposed to happen, but it does, nevertheless.

For the fifth time in two years my UK train journey is seriously delayed by "animals on the line". @networkrailwatch.bsky.social . Their lines are not secure. What happens if cattle stray onto the line just as the train approaches?

She was previously successful in appealing against being removed from her court role in August 2024 after sending an email to all students referring to "genocidal attacks" carried out by the Israeli government shortly after she was elected in October 2023. Maybe we can see what's going on here.

This man talks utter cobblers. The reason Britain's on the skids is because of the Brexit he fought so hard for. His Brexit killed our prosperity. And yes, IT WAS HIS BREXIT! Never forget that. His next promises will be just as catastrophic. This is because he works for Putin, not Britain.

I'd be glad to see the back of this appalling government. I don't accept the doctrine that we have to put up with a shit government to avoid an even shitter one. We have at least two parties who would form a *good* government. Lets, just for a change, elect them!

I know this is a "making someone's death all about me" post, but I keep seeing people's deaths announced who are younger than me, and it is really concerning, it's this "grim reaper is behind me" vibe.

Without a hint of irony, Kemi Badenoch - after doing the full ‘Trump was right’ on Venezuela for best part of 10 minutes - when asked about Brexit on Radio 4 Today says ‘sovereignty matters’ Then asked for one big policy, says cutting net zero Fundamentally unserious
