Tony Blair should fuck right off.

Better WiFi for hundreds of trains under government plans

Self serving Tony Blair 🤡

I wonder who is going to win this little battle between a nobody called Yusuf and a former Tory grandee who wants to be Prime Minister? Too close to call.

A hugely exciting and positive day for the future of Newcastle as we agree a deal with the Green Party to move the city forward. It’s now time for Newcastle to really start to shine. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Please understand this: they are selecting these people on purpose. Not despite this stuff. Not in ignorance of it. Because this plays to their brand. They are seeking these people out and selecting them ON PURPOSE.

"Bluesky is worse than Twitter." - The people that made Twitter suck in the first place.

NDA’s don’t work for criminal activity.

Reform's plan: sack 450 planning officers to make planning more efficient. Small problem: there are only 445 planning officers in the whole country. So they're going to employ 5 more, just to sack them? Or maybe they're just idiots. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Lest we forgot: Less funding for public services with Reform in charge 🚫 #WellDoneTradeUnionsLGBTQPride

Spring time in Europe -every year it will get hotter and hotter earlier and earlier Parts of Western Europe are experiencing an extreme, record early heatwave with temperatures soaring 5 C to 10 C above normal Temperatures in southwest Spain forecast to reach 40°C in coming days

Arteta will win Manager of the Year, but Regis Le Bris is the real winner. To take over #SAFC 16th in the Championship, who had just spent 4 years in League 1, and qualify for the Europa League in 2 years is extraordinary. Our first European qualification in 50 years and first through league finish

Looking forward to a forecasted warming of temperatures later this week in NE England. A taster of what's to come here at Seaburn, Sunderland – my local coastline. #england #sunderland #coast #herringtoncountrypark #landscape #photography

Iran deal: Trump ‘won’t get what he wants’ but ‘he’ll call it a victory’ anyway www.channel4.com/news/iran-de...

Yeah. Europe realised that US tech companies can no longer be trusted with their national infrastructure and data and that these needed to be held locally

Nothing says “I’m an English Patriot and will protect you from forerners” like giving a woman a back hander, verbally abusing her, being controlling, or threatening to kill her just ask the Reform Councillor for Cliftonville who is now in Prison for abusing his wife.. #ThatsReformLove

Bluesky is becoming more successful; it’s now attracting the trolls that used to hang out on twitter. But the environment is thankfully less favourable for them.

Apparently Farage claims the data on the £5m gift was obtained illegally, which prompts the question, “what else is the little shit hiding?”

While Farage pockets millions as a "reward" for Brexit, the rest of us are left with soaring energy bills, political chaos and a broken economy. He only cares about himself and his wealthy donors. It is up to all of us to make sure he never becomes prime minister.

I’m sure we’re all agreed when I say this: “BWA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAARGH”

Climate change is real and it's happening and it's only going to get worse until everyone wakes the fuck up. By far the biggest threat to us all. We don't have another planet we can go to.

Should you delete WhatsApp? Maybe! Here’s a practical guide 👇

Texas is staring down a water crisis, but the Tech Barons want even more. More data centers mean more pressure on our water, our grid, and our communities. Texans should not have to sacrifice basic resources so billion-dollar corporations can expand faster.

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

I should run a competition - how many of these Gov announcements, all released in last 4 days, have you heard about??? #DoingTheMediasJob #FixingBritain #LabourAchievements

So far in Makerfield the only policy Reform UK seem to totally agree on is that: Ordinary blokes are all racist, misogynist and want to lick Carol Vorderman’s waste disposal unit. And of course that this doesn’t matter. All their other policies? Bedlam!👇😊

I am glad the attorney general has used his power to refer a case to a court of appeal and the non-custodial sentences given to three teenage boys for the rape of two girls will now be reviewed.

Looks like one of those terrifying 2050 #climate projection graphics, but no, that’s a short-term forecast for France until… May 29th.

People saying "surely they won't vote for him now?" miss the point of far right radicalisation: the point is to transgress - doesn't matter what they say - they're breaking the rules of decency to shatter our civil society 1/2 ...

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

Edward Fitzalan-Howard – the Duke of Norfolk – will host Reform UK donors for lunch at Arundel Castle. Because nothing says 'man of the people' like hobnobbing with the aristocracy in your Duke mate's 11th-century family fort...

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

I'll still post Gordon Brown's 'What has Labour ever done for us' speech as a flagship statement of Labour policy over Tory hot air.

I love commentators who say Labour's comms are poor who then get arsy when some of us post lists of Labour's achievements, like this one for example. Get called Starmerites or bizzarly Starmer supporters as an insult. There's no rhyme nor reason to most of the criticism.

I imagine Farage’s ride with Misogynist #PervyPlumber Rob Kenyon went like👇🏼 RK “I saw this dozy c^w try to park earlier it was painful, could’ve got a bus in there” NF ‘They got no idea, only good for 1 thing’ RK “Mind you she had big t^ts” NF ‘Not all bad eh’ RK “OiOi look at the arse on that”

The question needs to keep being asked. Why???

The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.
