Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

The fate of the 2,787 people arrested for terrorism offences for peacefully holding signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” in silent vigils will be decided this Friday. The long-awaited Judicial Review ruling will be read out at 10am in the Royal Courts of Justice.

Just going to leave this here

Why are members of the House of Lords allowed to own lobbying firms in the first place ?!! This is completely absurd. In France, that would be illegal.

A San Diego special education teacher, Nasreen Atassi, was fired on Feb. 9 after posting a video stating that Israel steals “livers and kidneys and eyeballs,” The California Post reports. The San Diego Unified School District confirmed her dismissal after the clip was amplified by...

Peter Mandelson Invokes Press Harassment Protections To Dodge Questions About His Support Of Jeffrey Epstein Peter Mandelson—the former UK cabinet minister who was just sacked as Britain's ambassador to the United States over newly revealed emails with Jeffrey Epstein—has found a novel way to…

Corruption. Nothing less can describe the scale of this influence. I asked ministers this week if they would cap donations at the same time as asking about openness on lobbying meetings, and this was the part of the question they refused to answer.

Every single president of the United States since Lyndon Baines Johnson has expressed public and private opposition to Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank, but every single president since LBJ has also greenlit unconditional support while Israel annexes it anyway.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy! Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence. Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

So it’s Greens versus Reform Hope versus Hate A brilliant local candidate who loves her community Versus a full time grifter bussed in from London It’s not hard #VoteGreen

2,000 Britons have served in the IDF in Gaza and then returned to the UK. They should all be investigated and prosecuted.

Starmer then: I've made the disciplinary procedure completely independent from me as leader Starmer now: I kicked Jeremy Corbyn out of the party

"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data… significant reputational warning for the data analytics firm" www.newscase.com/palantirs-sw... #R4Today

Just because someone is rich and highly successful in business doesn't mean their brain can't be utterly melted online.

Most of the media, most days: Morning: "Capitalism must go further! further! further!" Afternoon: "Oh my God, how did that happen?"

"She is demonstrating what it really means to stand up for local people." @elliechowns.bsky.social discusses Keir Starmer's untenable position and the need for more MPs like Hannah Spencer on Sky News Politics Hub.

goodwin following farage's example, who still hasn't had a face to face debate with Zack Polanski weeks after Zack called for one. Maybe deformUK should wear yellow rosettes.

I use AI multiple times a day for different purposes. @masnick.com is right on: 'used properly... it can be incredibly powerful and valuable. When it’s used in a way where the human’s input and thinking are replaced, it tends to do very badly' www.techdirt.com/2026/02/10/h...

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Are any of the ICE software servers hosted by Meta or Google located in Ireland? Is Ireland fining any of the tech companies assisting ICE to torture Irish citizens? cc @whittledaway.bsky.social @irishrainforest.bsky.social

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Q. How many Labour MPs does it take to change a light bulb? A. 80, but they can’t find a spare bulb.

Channel 4's 'Palestine Action, The Truth behind the ban' reveals that despite all the things the govt claimed & implied about PA (Iranian backed, violent, secret intel etc), the real reason they proscribed the group as terrorists was because PA was damaging property. Thats it.

Hope is with the Green Party. Delighted to welcome Cllr Brett Wright, who represents part of Eastbourne on East Sussex County Council, into the Green Party!

Weird, because I seem to recall proscribing these people as equivalents to Al Qaeda or ISIS was justified by senior politicians claiming they had Sekrit Damning Evidence Of Terrorisms that they couldn’t disclose. Perhaps it was too Sekrit for Channel 4?

"These are not the actions of a state seeking peace; they are the latest extension of a long-upheld system that denies Palestinians the right to determine their own future." - @elliechowns.bsky.social Israel's expanding control over the West Bank cannot go on. The UK Government must act.

Wes Streeting has admitted that Israel is committing war crimes. In doing so, he has admitted that his government has broken the law. The government is legally obliged not to sell combat aircraft components to states committing war crimes.

1. Many here seem bemused by the anger and disappointment this government attracts. Please bear with me while I try to explain it. Let’s begin with Gaza. Starmer’s complicity is one of the major reasons so many people are disillusioned. rethinkingsecurityorguk.wpcomstaging.com/2025/10/07/i... 🧵

A lavish party to celebrate a £241m military AI deal with Palantir. This is the same US firm embedded in our NHS, with links to anti-democratic politics. This deserves scrutiny, not champagne. #Accountability #Democracy

20,000 doors knocked in Gorton and Denton this weekend alone. Only the Greens can stop Reform here.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir. I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers. Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal. Palantir out.

Couldn't this also affect the ongoing prosecution of the members of Palestine Action in the UK? And the ongoing case on whether or not making it a proscribed terrorist group was legal?

there has been a lot of hype recently around AI "passing medical exams." those stories and studies ignore the fact that people are complex, often opaque, difficult things, not a series of steps in a formula www.404media.co/chatbots-hea...

As Starmer implodes, which commentators are on TV explaining why it's all fallen apart? The same pundits who cheered him on the first place and thought he'd be a brilliant prime minister. Shameless all round!

Keir Starmer and the Purge That Devoured Its Architects The same shameless tactics that Starmer used to purge the UK's left are now destroying his project from within, @graceblakeley.substack.com writes. Read: zeteo.com/p/keir-starm...

A government enthralled to men and corporations drunk on power is the rot at the centre of the Mandelson scandal. Of all seven of the Nolan principles, openness can help build back the most trust. Every MP, like me, should release logs of all lobbying meetings.

It's a big day for us. Today MVM was appointed co-secretariat of the All-Party Parliamentary Group @appgfairelections.bsky.social. We're delighted to partner with our friends at @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social and thank @fairvoteuk.bsky.social for their work. Read more:

Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments. This isn’t really about individuals. It’s about the state of the Labour Party. news.sky.com/story/invest...

Even the LLMs are mocking Starmer.

The banks, investment institutions and billionaire class owe him a lot for their meteoric ascendance over the last decade and a half - whether anyone else does is doubtful.

Anas Sarwar is about to call for Starmer to resign for his appalling judgement when it came to Peter Mandelson. The same Anas Sarwar who proudly posed with his 'old friend' years after everyone knew that Mandelson stuck with Epstein despite his conviction for child sex offences.
