This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

My Garden of a Thousand Bees review – a joyous film on the unbearable lightness of bee-ing

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

In the morning, strategic facilities in the Leningrad region were attacked with aerial bombs dropped from A-22 light aircraft. It is the first time since World War II that aerial bombs have fallen on the Leningrad region.

Every now and then I'm brought up short by the thought that not a single person responsible for two of the biggest corporate scandals of the century - the Horizon IT system and the Grenfell Tower fire - is in prison. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pretty chuffed with my 0.07% tbh.

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... 🧵 1/4

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

AI job losses free up time for unemployed mobs to burn down tech CEO‘s houses

No reason for the post apart from it being a glorious morning for a dog walk (& there haven’t been many of those lately). Saw some ponies and a windmill (Chailey Common in Sussex if you’re wondering)

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

Sarah Kendzior knocks it out of the park and brings the receipts on the dirty Christofascist White Supremacist / Zionist alliance to destroy democracy. Their "End Days" are the end of our way of life. We must immediately mobilize to stop them. Read this and you will agree that Schumer has gotta go.

How does Nigel Farage know that Green voters in Gorton and Denton don't have jobs... Oh of course he doesn't

Again, would love to put some of these questions to him myself, but Reform have banned Byline Times from attending any of their events

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I suspect these will divide opinion but they are bloody lovely

Bang on. So many Labour voters at the last election did not think they were voting for *this* Labour Party.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Robert Jenrick has defected from Reform to the Greens.

A fresh wave of anti-government protests by students at several Iranian universities has spread to more campuses on Monday. The BBC has verified footage of protests at eight universities in Tehran, as well as universities in Mashhad and Isfahan. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Equality Act isn't a niche interest or a piece of trendy legislation. It is a cornerstone of a functional, fair, and stable society. Its erosion should matter to everyone.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records. Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'. Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Prosecutors have confirmed for the first time that Peter Williams, who ran L3Harris' Trenchant unit (which makes hacking tools for the U.S. govermment and its allies), sold the company's exploits to a Russian broker that were capable of accessing "millions of computers and devices" around the world.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

I’ve caught glimpses of a decent aurora once, nowhere near this spectacular, but the thing that struck me most was that the light flowed in a way that was very conspicuously NOT like a liquid but like electricity. It felt like being inside one of those plasma globe lamps. Eerie and breathtaking.

Rather than bringing Starmer down with the Mandelson/Epstein stuff, perhaps we should accentuate the Bannon/Epstein (and more) stuff which talks about supporting the European far right and breaking the world system. Via Brexit, Reform UK and the new model Badenoch party tagging along. #R4Today

Olivia Dean during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech for Best New Artist: “I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I’m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.”

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor. Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time. A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world… And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say. We see you.
