At drama school we were put in pairs and told to prepare scenes where the theme was "sickness". People did scene after scene of harrowing illness, saying goodbye to a loved one, etc etc and then Ben Mann and Robert Hannouch got up and just pretended to throw up for 3 minutes saying "oh god, oh no!"

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

I hope you are ALL going to this.... #BoysWonder #Swankers2026 #BigBen #GreatScott #villageunderground

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

Nice work asshole - No market for swasticars in Germany Let’s do the same in US

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709. The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost. So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

Keir Starmer isn't a leader. He's the front man for a faction who think he's useless, and who themselves have no meaningful vision of any description. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0w7...

This is resistance. Not memes and calling him "Drumpf".

I hate it when people say "we all have to tighten our belts" in defence of Labour. a) We hated austerity under Tories. b) Why do we have to tighten our belts? It literally means "eat less" and I don't want to eat less, cheers! c) Why do the mega-rich never get asked to tighten their poxy belts!?

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world. Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime. It ain't the USA.

CEO for 4 companies trying to get a $56bn payment completely tax free from Tesla. But spends all his time posting trash on his dying platform.
