Starmer: “If you don’t like our policies you can leave.” Voters:

Anyway, as I understand it, having 5 MPs gets you unlimited coverage on Sky and a reserved seat on Question Time, I hope Polanski has sorted a rota out

What else is there to say but: these people were warned and warned and warned again about this, going back well over ten years and further, and their constant response was: absolutely fuck you, you are all idiots and we are the smart, Sensible people whom understand what the public like and want.

Nothing shaped my character in my early teens more than Red Dwarf. The show, the books... it was a great intro to nerd adolescence. PIR, Rob Grant. Thank you!

As much as I think any TV programme could raise a child, I was raised by Red Dwarf. RIP Rob Grant

BBC Radio Four’s PM programme just effectively ran a free ad for an AI camera that ‘detects shoplifters’. Evan Davis even repeated the brand name at the end of the interview with the shopkeeper. I guarantee that the shopkeeper was put forward by a PR firm.

DNA testing for potential to develop health conditions is sinister. It's an attempt to quantify the risk for individual patients. But health advice is the same whatever your risk so knowing risk is no use to doctors or patients. One industry that relies on understanding risk though is insurance.

Happy Shrove Tuesday, Chinese new year and night before Ramadan! Diversity at its finest.

Well this beats a lamppost any day of the week. Congrats Matt Weston!

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government. Thanks Keir.

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide. Farage is in trouble.

Remember the time the Epstein Files revealed Epstein & Peter Thiel were a part of the group who organised Brexit & how it was actually a targeted attack on the UK & NATO? Any minute now the media will be all over that! They might even ask Farage what he knows since he's mentioned over 40 times.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

For those keeping score at home:

People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

Here's Epstein and Theil crowing over how Brexit is only the *beginning* of the end for liberal democracy A vote for any of the big three Racist Right parties is a vote for more of the above.

Isn’t it amazing how - just as with e.g. Johnson, Covid procurement or MPs’ second jobs - one day of actual scrutiny of Ones Of The Lads turns up more ludicrous crime, malfeasance and corruption than, say, the EHRC dug up in months trawling all Labour Party servers with a fine-toothed comb?

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and will return in Avengers: Doomsday

Goodness, UK really needs a Public Enquiry to identify those who knowingly lied to the public, the foreign actors who helped undermine the economic health of the country, and find ways for those who voted Brexit to recover their dignity.

If I was a toxic techbro fascist, it wouldn't take long to write a program to turn £1m worth of, say, Bitcoin, into 40k x £25 unverified "memberships" of a compliant political party that accepts crypto. Just sayin'

Sometimes you think a script is gonna go a certain way, but then once you’re done you realize you were wrong and need to choose between going forward with something meh or rewriting 80% of the thing you thought was done. Rewriting is always the right choice.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Our swift population is in sharp decline. They've fallen by two thirds since 1995 and were added to the UK's conservation red list in 2020. But we have a simple, low-cost solution. Tell the government that now is the time to act to save our swifts. greens.scot/saveourswifts

Tory MPs now protesting about anti-protest laws which they themselves brought in..

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

What would the Green Party do at the Budget? 💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering 🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands 🏠 Give councils the power to control rents 🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Today in the news: Could the far right be far right?! We found countless examples and testimonies and it is clear that, based on most serious definitions, they are indeed far right and a threat to democracy However, we asked them and they said they are not. Therefore, who is to know?

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Climate change affects EVERYTHING. It’s mad that the issue has become left-coded when it should be just reality-coded

At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

40 years, wow. Simply the greatest comic strip of all time ❤️

The UK govt: "Hmm, we might have to ban VPNs & a whole range of otehr basic privacy safeguards, to Protect The Children, y'know." Also the UK govt: "It's perfectly fine to let Nazi billionaire & friend of Epstein Peter Thiel trawl through the entire corpus of NHS personal data on your children."

In case you missed it: *of course* the guy who wrote the BBC memo was a paid lobbyist.

“Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage” @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 👇 #BBC

Of course, because this is precisely why they were put up and what they’re for.
