If the UK is short of money for various things might I suggest we liquidate the royal estate - instantly bringing £16billion back to the nation. Seriously.

So much this. Karma comes quickly. Hopefully it’s serious.

Disgraceful day from labour yesterday. They lost 2 voters in our house. No morals, no ethics and shit politics. I kept hoping they would get better but in truth they’re getting worse and have been a shambles since they took office. Relentlessly punching down & aping the worst of the Tories & Reform

all the terrible people here. Just needs Giles coren, rod liddle and julie burchill for a full house

This is why we’re in trouble. We’re electing people who think cutting costs on biscuits is a priority project. How did we get to this stage?

“Nigel Farage ranked 748th of 751 MEPs for attendance, went to 1 of 42 fishery committee meetings & was fined £35K for fiddling his expenses. As an MP he has held no surgeries, skipped 80% of votes and had ten jobs on the side” - More people should know this!

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

Go fash, lose cash

The email address for Musks what did you do last week stalking is [email protected] It would be terrible if loads of people sent them information 🤣

I couldn’t give a shit about what James Vance says about the UK quite frankly. He is part of a fascist government so I take his criticism as a positive indictment of our society if anything

Done. 👍🏽

I was randomly watching a talk by thich nhat hanh last night and he said that billionaires are lonely, full of fear and suspicions. And you can see that play out in real time in the USA 🇺🇸 right now. youtu.be/PMa2VqtRxnk?...

Breitbart?? 🤣 Jesus wept

I'm keeping a running list of disappearing federal data in the 🧵 below. If there are others I missed let me know. crampell[at]washpost[dot]com or Signal username crampell.13

💥 Mind, the leading mental health charity, has quit X. It's here as @mindcharity.bsky.social. It had over 500,000 followers on the other place.

This might be the worst take I’ve ever seen in the history of social media 🤣

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com hiya. My elderly parents have been left without any heating in their house for 4 months after a dodgy heat source pump installation. They paid the company £20,000 and have no heating still since October. Can you suggest anything to help?

Great campaign and good example of newsjacking for fundraising! Signed up 😍

Elon Musk just gave a Nazi salute on live TV!!!

Prediction. Trump overturns the TikTok ban in his first week. Clocks up a big free speech win and in return they have to flip the algo to promote alt right/ fascist content giving him control of all social media politically

It’s interesting that a key priority of the incoming oligarchy in the states is that they have prioritised gaining control of social media platforms and making owners bend the knee. This is a tacit sign these platforms are instruments of coercion and control. We should all have a think about that

I had a good read of the new national trust strategy and I love it. The document is beautifully simple and jargon free. Not easy when they have had 70,000 people feeding in. The 3 main goals are really motivating. And crucially - when talking about the climate - it is framed in positive terms 😍

Of course. Musk hates unions. He only wants to meddle in countries elections to install puppet politicians who will erode union power and let him do whatever he likes in his verticals of interest.

Beautiful day at Harlech beach and castle today. Very happy with the raven shot 🦅

This is the part of the Xmas break where I fool myself I have time to start learning a new language; give some money to that cursed green owl then spend the next two months getting hounded by it until I angrily cancel and delete the app - rinse and repeat

He actually loves open borders. But only when they facilitate tax evasion for rich people.

Wow that is a huge data set!

Beautiful Christmas cheer!

The unadulterated selfishness of large vehicles writ large this morning on wood street e17 as I try to cycle to the shops with my daughter. What a lovely fuck you to elderly people, families with kids, people with mobility issues and anyone trying to go about their business without walking in road

This looks truly awesome 😎

Will get this framed. Thrilled that my piece honouring Madame Pelicot is the cover.

Xmas has officially arrived. Fabulous panto at Hackney empire yesterday. One of my favourite traditions 😍

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

I’m very proud of this campaign. The guide has reached over 13k women so far 😍

Any update @arseblog.com ??

Kash Patel apparently runs a "America First" clothing line. "Tired of seeing your money go overseas?" reads a product page. "Support your fellow Americans by purchasing a Protect Our People t-shirt." Shirt appears to be made on Next Level blanks ... which are made in Central America and Haiti.

This is quite a thing

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

Your regular reminder that edge lord space baby does not give a shit about freedom of communication-unless it agrees with his misogynist, Brocast, fascist views…

The famously erudite and learned Johnson 🫢

Why do ppl pretend you can work online on a train ffs. It is always an enraging experience 😂

Musk has praised this guy for supporting a petition calling for another UK election

“Elon Musk’s father has said Keir Starmer must resign within the next three months. Is he going to resign?”, the Prime Minister’s spokesman is asked. Starmer’s spokesman: “No he is not”

This was just epic last night 😢 Les petit Gris made me cry 🐌

Oh yeah? Name twenty-five of their albums.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵
