THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

2025 Awards: Racist of the year: Farage Incompetents of the year: Reform run councils Traitor: Nathan Gill, Reform Grifter: Farage Most ruinous policy of the year: Brexit (9th year running) New Year’s resolution for 2026: Not having these howling failure monkeys leading in the polls.

Abolish the House of Lords, RT if you want it gone. Tear it down.

The hero of Bondi Beach, Ahmed al Ahmed. It was a Muslim that stopped the attack and saved lives, exactly like it was in Australia, and in the UK.

In case you missed it: The US State Department classified state-funded abortion services, including NHS services, as human rights violations. Make no mistake, this will embolden the UK's anti-choice Christian Nationalist movement, hell-bent on reversing women's rights. humanists.uk/2025/11/27/n...

Imagine living in a house on fire and occasionally throwing a glass of water on the flames and claiming it's progress. That's Labour's attitude to Brexit. (No political party is loud enough on the issue given its immense salience. They should be screaming 24/7 about it.) bsky.app/profile/euro...

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

I must admit to a slight smirk when I saw that our weekend game against ManU has been moved because we’re playing in Europe #cpfc

Your reminder that the EU offered to freeze Brexit talks in 2020 so we could focus on Covid but Johnson said no. He then fucked up both: partying while 23,000 needlessly died & did a Brexit so shit the economic impact (-8% GDP) is worse than predictions he described as “the work of gloomsters”

Hard agree. It’s ugly and unconscionable

Those UK journalists backing Trump - a man who endorses the murder of a journalist because he’s ‘controversial’ - against the BBC need to see if they can find their moral compass

Workers escaping from a scam compound in Bavet, Cambodia. Worth remembering that there are many victims of the scammers... #cybersecurity #scam #cybercrime

They want to take away our BBC. They want to take away our NHS. They want to take away our human rights. They want to take away everything we have that makes life worth living. All for their own greedy enrichment. The f***ing far right, led by Trump and Farage, Badenoch and the rest.

Brexit is not a past event, unless you are looking solely at that sordid 2016 Referendum or even the end of the transition period on 31/12/2020. This, for the UK, IS the era of #BrexitReality aka #NationalFailure. Every Briton is living it. Its scars run deep. #RejoinEU bsky.app/profile/otto...

As this is #armistice day, I thought I would post up this clipping. The 8 sons are my great uncles and I’m immensely proud of them (thought to be the 2nd highest number of brothers who fought in Allied forces in WW1). My grandfather and his brother (on my Dad’s side) also fought, so 10 relatives.

For those wondering here is the post from Joyce Carol Oates that got under Musk's skin big time

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

Love it when accessibility is embraced. I just want everyone to experience the same joys in life as me, even if they have to take a different path to get there. People deserve to be happy! 😃

Britain is not a country of racist bigots. Time for the decent majority to "take back control". Repost if you agree.

I don't know who to credit this image to, but anyway, they got the price wrong. That 2/9d should read £122 million

It's pretty extraordinary timing in a case that has been running since 2020 & publication of Russia Report. @carolinelucas.bsky.social @benbradshaw.bsky.social @alynsmith.bsky.social have persevered even tho they've now left parliament. Why - even now - is UK govt refusing to investigate???

Honey bees & honey have been valued & collected for millennia by humans. This sweet, sticky substance has been important in every society Honey has been used as food, medicine, for cultural & religious reasons. It was once believed to be the food of the Gods. #NationalHoneyDay

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

Bahahaha 😂😂👍🫡

White House made good on threats to fire workers during shutdown, and CISA was among those that lost workers - 176 were fired on Friday. A CISA spokesperson told Metacurity that CISA under Biden admin focused on "censorship, branding, and electioneering. This is part of getting CISA back on mission"
