It’s galling how the powerful keep creating conditions that ruin the future: climate destruction, wars, exploitative systems, child poverty, unethical AI etc and then expect the kids to conform to their standards. Transgenerational justice should be a thing taught in schools & practised in courts.

"21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That’s ~ 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party. 22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims “some of the strongest vetting in the country”' via Instagram

I just don't understand this stuff. Labour isn't in opposition. It's not writing for an essay competition. So don't whine, legislate: "X com has become a tool by which malignant foreign actors spread disinformation and we will bring before Parliament legislation to block it."

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

Name just one (1) economic metric President Trump has improved since taking over for President Biden in 2025. Just one. You can’t.

THREAD Senior Labour MP Emily Thornberry, chair of the foreign affairs select committee, tore into Starmer government last night on Palestine. "We knew and we have to remember that recognition was only the first step. Where is the second step, where is the tenth step, what are we doing?

💥 70,000 signatures! 💥 ...and the petition closes on June 8th. Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful. All hands to the pump! Sign and share, share, share! 👇

Another win for vaccines.

Our institutions need to function, again. We need a functioning Department of Justice. We need a functioning IRS. We need a functioning FBI. Not allow them to become power ministries for the dear leader, Donald Trump.

They haven’t passed the population critical mass of understanding that it’s already here, yet, have they? The way back is going to be infinitely harder than most imagine - and that’s assuming it’s even possible.

The Epstein cover-up continues. This time? Trump is targeting members of his own party who have supported survivors and the release of the files. Why? They don’t want whatever they’re hiding to come out—and they’re going after those who get in the way. We won’t stop until justice is served!

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

Only America bows down to this war criminal! ================================

📰 Nine in 10 UK millionaires are proud to live in Britain and three-quarters would be willing to pay more tax to ensure public assets get the funding they need, according to research. 💰 It's time to properly tax the super-rich.

We should start awarding academic titles like Professor of Research Waste and Professor of Airport-Book Sales. I know we all have some good candidates for these prestigious positions!

Does engaging with the arts help to slow the aging process? According to this new paper from Fancourt et al the answer is yes! Alas, the paper is actually unsuitable for such claims. Let’s examine by discussing how you'd establish whether arts engagement actually caused future health! 1/18 🧵

Hey it's the book's birthday! Happy 1st Birthday to our book @alexhanna.bsky.social :) The AI Con has been out in the world for a whole year. 🎂🎂🎂 thecon.ai

Wes Streeting supports the Cass Report and Palantir's UK govt contracts. Either he lacks the critical thinking skills to evaluate the evidence/arguments against them, or he ignores these things for ideological or other reasons. Either one makes him unfit to be PM in my view. (Not going to debate it)

People, we deserve better than this shite. Even if you are not supportive of Zack Polanski and his party, this has revealed two things. The poor quality of journalism in this country, that is in urgent need of reform and how the establishment want the status quo to remain unchanged

youtube.com/shorts/wl6Hv... This is what opposition looks like in America. Fair play, chaps. We English are far too reserved for this sort of animated response to a data centre. But then, what does a heavily armed country do next? I do wonder how the brownshirts at ICE feel about the Maxwell pardon.

It’s going to be a busy few weeks keeping track of all the racists, criminals & weirdos elected on Farage’s ticket.

Grateful for another day

4/ Another officer fired pepper spray through a car window, hitting a 1-year-old girl in the back seat. A bystander filmed her in tears. DHS called the incident a “hoax.” But, as a local pastor at the scene testified later, “there’s literally video evidence.”

3/ Videos show how immigration agents have used these weapons: at one point, officers hurl tear gas canisters at protesters without apparent provocation. Then, with the street flooded in white smoke, a CBP agent shoots pepper balls before muttering “Fuck yeah,” and “Woo!”

2/ We found at least 79 children hurt by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation blitz. It’s likely a vast underestimate. Kids were at home, sitting in strollers or attending a daytime protest with their parents. Then, chemicals left them gasping for air.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Donald Trump once again claimed there are 'no windmills in China'. China has as many Wind Turbines as the rest of the world combined, and last year installed 3x more than the USA and Europe combined. By 2040 China is expected to be as powerful as Europe AND the USA.

Happy Birthday Sir David We won’t protect what we don’t love & we won’t love what we don’t know Thank you for enabling us to know & love this precious planet even more deeply The greatest tribute we could pay is to act on that love - and to protect & restore the earth while there’s still time 💚

In doing so, he's handing this country on a plate to Reform UK. Of course the 2029 election is not a done deal, and we can still prevent disaster from happening. But to do so, we now not only have to fight Farage, but also Starmer and the toxic legacy he leaves (and please God, he will now leave).

He has prostrated himself before the far right in a futile attempt to attract its voters, as if the vast body of evidence which shows that this NEVER works - and only legitimises hate and racism - did not exist. In doing so he has lost his real voters, alienating his base in spectacular fashion.

The world is changing at great speed, as oligarchs grab powers that once belonged to the people. Starmer not only has no answer to this, but he doesn’t even register it as an issue. He promised “Change”, but the change is happening without us. And without him.

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

They’ve convinced people that billionaire‑funded multi‑millionaire tax dodgers like Trump or Farage are champions of the working class. That’s not ignorance. That’s industrial‑grade brainwashing. And the tragedy is how well it works. #USA #MAGA #UK #Reform

Just now.

Whoever you vote for today remember: Labour came to power in 2024 with an enormous majority promising change, then scraped and bowed to the worst people in the country, and pitch-rolled for Reform. They had a chance to change Britain for the better and flushed it down the toilet. So vote for hope.

No.

No greater deconversion tool than the bible.
