George Monbiot on Ukraine/Putin: “It’s as if he’d come to the UK, he’d occupied Kent, Surrey, Sussex & then somebody else like Donald Trump comes along & says fine guys just live with that. These people who go on about sovereignty will sell anyone down the river” #bbcqt

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation” George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them. Until my country can work that very simple puzzle out we are doomed. #bbcqt

Big up the man in the red sweater. ❤️ “Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants and ‘illegals’ were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss’ failure of leadership.” #bbcqt

Audience member: "I don't think there should be any asylum... People are making far too much of war." Audience member next to her: 😬 ~AA #BBCQT

This man 👏🏽👏🏽

Man in red shreds Nigel Farage Farage has a meltdown #BBCQT

“Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. They weren’t responsible for Brexit. They weren’t responsible for Liz Truss’ failure. Because of populist policies in the ‘30s Hitler was elected. If we follow the same blaming of migrants we will go the same way” #bbcqt

Musk explains his X algorithm

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

So true.

Left: Keir Starmer says businesses have committed to invest £63 billion of new investment Right: Bloomberg, "Brexit is costing the UK £100 billion a tear in lost output" Over five years Brexit is costing us £500 billion, that's 8x what businesses have committed to invest

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption.. And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail Let's see. www.bbc.com/news/article...

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions www.gov.uk/government/p...

The fact that Elon Musk wanted to give Nigel Farage and Reform UK $100m but couldn't because it was illegal should be the death of Reform, who supposedly are all about sovereignty and the 'working' man. But it won't be because they are all stupid.

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

Several British police forces have largely withdrawn from Elon Musk’s X social media platform as concerns over its role in promoting violence and extreme content persist, a Reuters survey of forces’ social media output showed www.businesslive.co.za/bd/world/eur...

Critical of the new York times after this article today.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Are you responding to Darren Grimes? Nigel Farage? Richard Tice? Don't. You have been handed an opportunity. Report, block, delete. I used to be in favour of challenging this scum. But not here. Silence them.

This is a key constituent of fascism & the very essence of ‘Muskism’: promoting bullshit, silencing truth-tellers & calling the whole grift ‘free speech’. Twitter as a rehearsal for the USA.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY

Isn’t it funny how the U.S. media is suddenly posting stories about the improving inflation picture now that the election is over? 🧐

Austrian Airlines quit X and their final post is a thing of beauty 😘🤌

I just looked at a highly circulated starter pack for top science and science communicators and there are 58 men, 27 women, the rest orgs based in the US, and 95% white. Maybe, just maybe, do a bit of curation and check your biases and show some care with what you put out into the wild.

In a survey for Farmers Weekly last year, 83 per cent of famers polled said Brexit had been worse than expected; 52 per cent supported a referendum on rejoining the EU; and 70 per cent supported rejoining the single market. https://inews.co.uk/opinion/an-inconvenient-truth-for-farmers-brexit-33964…

So this is pretty cool: I think I’m the first national news correspondent to switch my chyron social handle from X to Bluesky. 💪🏽

So Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly suggested that migration puts women's safety at risk, has been harbouring a senior colleague who was jailed for violently assaulting his own girlfriend

I would love to see MPs be held accountable for the disinformation they spread on social media platforms. *coughs, Reform*

A side note on the misleading and stereotypical choice of photo by Reuters for this article. Most undocumented migrants in Spain have lived there for years, primarily come from South America and Morocco, and overstayed their visas rather than arriving by boat. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

“Spain's economy is the fastest-growing in the EU…”

Scratching the surface of Farage and his real political, er, leaning @adambienkov.bsky.social reports ⏬

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

The NY Times obtained this diagram from the federal sex trafficking investigation of Matt Gaetz showing he made thousands of dollars in payments to women who told investigators they had sex with him for money. This is the redacted version. More here: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/u...

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

This is a list I will vouch for and only this one. It is manually curated, the Bluesky community moderation guidelines are followed, and every block is public with reasons given. It also helps our #cdnpoli goals: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hold the fuck on. Trump voters with preexisting conditions are out there crying now because they JUST realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act?!? The Affordable Care Act they just voted to repeal cuz they were good thanks to… OBAMACARE?!? Are you fucking kidding me??? I can’t with this.

Ash Sarkar can’t even question an MP without having to face racism (tbh, it feels wrong to call 30p Lee, a Member of Parliament) I’ll say it time and again, Reform UK is a far-right party. 🗑️ @novaramedia.com vm.tiktok.com/ZGdYuYK31/

what?!?

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

I can’t tell if this satire, that’s the state we’re in… We’re living in a Simpson’s episode.

They fueled the hate with half a billion in ads and now the pogroms are starting. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
