Have no doubt both the Tories and Reform don't make decisions for us, they make decisions for the big corporations that line their pockets. They are owned by the large gas and oil companies. bsky.app/profile/adam...

Jesus fucking christ

Quite. After a 10 hour stint performing a complex aortic valve replacement on an elderly lady and a couple of hours associated admin, I'm sure my mother's cardiac surgeon would have relished an hour or two helping run the local cub scout group.

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

Well thanks for emphasising the party you belong to, Mahmood, because without that, it would’ve been hard to distinguish you from the Tories or Reform. All seemingly competing to win the “Biggest Bastard to Immigrants” prize. You cannot win against Reform, but competing with them disgraces you.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

"They're eating the carp. They're eating the swans." Nigel Farage doubles down on his bet that immigrants were eating cats and dogs in America. He now suggests there's a 'similar story' in Britain.

REVEALED: bombshell evidence of the link between Tylenol and autism.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

Who knew this line about Africa in the 2000s would sound applicable to the US in 2025: “subordinates owe loyalty to their personal patrons, not to laws and institutions.” The difference is that corruption hasn’t seeped into the entire bureaucracy and congealed into political culture but…

I don’t always approve of Gov Newsom, but when he pushes back against authoritarianism I’m 💯 a fan #FightFascism

I can't be the only one who remembers the Facebook Papers when Frances Haugen made a bunch of internal documents public showing the company knew it was, among many other nightmarish things, encouraging suicidal ideation in teen girls Eg: www.npr.org/2021/10/25/1...

Re: Work as a group! "When bureau chiefs from many of the outlets banded together to urge Hegseth’s staff to reconsider the changes, the officials doubled down and removed additional media outlets, including The Washington Post, from their Pentagon desks." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

On Friday, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya left his family home for a shift as the director of the Al-Shifa hospital. A day later, the bodies of six family members arrived while he was still on duty.

Toe curling, stomach churningly embarrassing Just weeks after publicly disowning Epstein in 2011, Sarah Ferguson wrote him a gushing private message calling him a 'steadfast, generous & supreme friend' – & admitting she only distanced herself from him to save her own reputation...& her book deal

“The leader of the free world” wanted to send a DM to Attorney General Pam Bondi. Instead he posted it to everyone on Truth Social. It’s now been deleted. Medical intervention required.

Some OSINT for Americans:

Nigel Farage says his party is a break from the political establishment but it is funded by the super rich. Reform has an unusually high number of overseas backers with links to tax havens. Fossil fuel interests fund Reform, party will expand their trade.

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

Fucksake

Worth pointing out too that the five most frequent non-politicians invited to BBC Question Time (as of last year) were *all* Spectator writers. The Far Right is being actively normalised in the British mainstream.

Great trolling from the Mayor to release this today, as Trump arrives in the UK www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thanks, Jeffrey Epstein estate executors for sharing his birthday book and other pertinent documents.

If you read nothing else in this piece, consult its instructions on how to open a Tesla's doors if their powered mechanisms no longer function. Then try to imagine any aircraft manufacturer getting approval for a plane with emergency exits that aren't designed to be opened with only human effort.

Seen it yesterday. It's brilliant. Not as good as the book but brilliant

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

But yeah, it’s OAPs protesting about genocide that are the real threat

This is where you get - in 9 months - if you don’t stand against it, all of it

So today, the USA government is going full ‘cancel culture’ & London is being turned into a ‘no-go zone’ for millions of its residents. And it’s all being done by people who profess to loathe both phenomena…
