Orwell was the o.g. AntiFa.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The Conservatives started this experiment. But Labour are fully on board too. No 10 refuse to comment or take action - but we're all paying the price for corporate greed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 This is profoundly dangerous rhetoric. Lake warns mothers not to send their children to colleges, which she calls “indoctrination camps.” Undermining higher education is a hallmark of authoritarianism—an attempt to centralize ideological control and erode academic freedom. 🚨

Hilarious response in the @telegraphnews.bsky.social to this video, riddled with inaccuracies (whoever said anything about death squads?!) I’ve submitted a complaint about falsehoods & requested an op-Ed for right of reply - which was, of course, not offered to me in advance of publication🤷‍♀️

Meta is building a data center in Wyoming that will use more electricity than all the homes in the state COMBINED. This will cause electric bills to skyrocket. Oh, and destroy the planet at the same time. This is what happens when there is zero accountability for Big Tech.

Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

Labour must reset policies, boost purchasing power of the bottom 50%. Median wage £30.432 (£25,431 net), bosses collect up to 1,112 times the average worker pay. 37% of universal credit claimants are in work. Poorest in Slovenia and Malta better off than the poorest in the UK. Must redistribute.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Mollie works for The Federalist, one of the premier institutions of modern conservative intellectualism, which explains a lot.

I do wish the American right would learn to distinguish their drug fuelled night fevers from reality.

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

Closing your eyes to inconvenient truths doesn’t make them go away. It’s far better to have the guts and maturity to face up to reality!

Barclays Bank's CEO tells govt to cut wages of public sector workers instead of taxing banks. Wants to cut wages of doctors, nurses, teachers, cleaners, drivers, cooks, security guards to give more to bankers. Wage rises inflationary apparently but CEO pay, dividends aren't. archive.ph/yTGN7

1984 is here... Hegseth says Pentagon 'tracking' service members, civilians who celebrate Charlie Kirk killing thehill.com/policy/defen...

To my rather cynical eye, this looks like an orchestrated attempt to break the NHS.

Gee...I wonder who else could be on the list? (allegedly) Senate investigating Peter Thiel’s money ties to Epstein www.beltway.news/p/scoop-sena...

CBI boss tells chancellor to revisit promise not to raise taxes on working people. Silence on the bottom 20% paying higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Must tax capital gains, dividends at same rate as wages. Levy windfall taxes. Tackle taxes lost through profit shifting.

Truly remarkable, a hidden history of an idea expressed by such obscure, forgotten figures as Auguste Comte, Benjamin Constant and François Guizot…

This is unbelievable @ucu.org.uk How can you be threatening 100% deductions for ASOS that is working at home rather than in office? UCU policy is against disprop ASOS deductions ASOS deductions breach workers Art 11 rights You contradict UCU support for members’ cases against employer deductions

“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental…they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.” Orwell, “1984”

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Farage is completely wrong. Universities are poisoning students’ minds by teaching them business and management.

Ah yes.

I see that Frank Cottrell Boyce, a Catholic, has called my book Domination “brilliant but cynical”. I don’t think it’s cynical to look at the politics and economic aspects of the Church - that undoubtedly underpinned its success. 1/3

Who was the most influential pragmatist political thinker in the opening decades of the twentieth century? In this paper, I argue that it was H. G. Wells "Pragmatism and Prophecy: H. G. Wells and the Metaphysics of Socialism" bit.ly/4gcheoe

I realise that it won’t make the slightest difference, but I did very much enjoy watching Jamie Raskin call Farage on his shameless grift. youtube.com/shorts/jot0b...

Thames Water creditors pledge more investment to try to seal rescue deal. This can't dissolve the crisis. TW would be run for profit & dividend extraction, the very reason for the crisis. Capital would be raised from customers, but shareholders would keep resulting assets/income. archive.ph/4yA01

It is backward thinking to assume the NHS can *save money* by withholding Covid vaccinations from 13 million of our most vulnerable people. #KeepCovidBoosters Sign and share our petition ⬇️

QUACK! QUACK! Secretary of Health RFK Jr. said a paper that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and disease must be retracted. The journal refused. In an extraordinary move for a U.S. public official, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has demanded the retraction

Exc - Lib Dem leader Ed Davey to boycott the state dinner hosted by the King in honour of Donald Trump. Davey will miss the banquet in protest over Gaza www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.

Last week BAKEWELL TARTS, this week WINE is at risk! The media’s tendency to present climate change as a mild inconvenience to cosy western lifestyles doesn’t QUITE align with science’s warnings of 4C temp rise, cascading tipping points & a billion+ dead in our kid’s lifetimes.

Stephen Miller has always been the dude who is unhinged by the fact that other people are allowed to disagree with him, even women and black people

Beyond the theoretical binary of state and market. In this new article, I revisit the work of JF Bray. I'm proposing it points towards an economic republicanism that resists both Bosses and Bureaucrats. Popular economic self government, that's the thing journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Announcing the next Freethought History Webinar! On 9 September, Paul Fitzgerald, aka Polyp, will talk about Thomas Paine and his erasure from popular historical narratives. Don't miss it - register now! @polypartist.bsky.social freethinker.co.uk/2025/08/free...

Every year, $100s billions that should be funding schools, hospitals & social care is disappearing into tax havens to fuel crime, conflict & new private jets. The UK facilitates 26% of this global tax abuse, and has the power to expose it. Demand they act. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/iP_tax-haven...

Paine argued private property and landlordism are essentially a form of theft from broader society, and that the money stolen from the people should be returned in the form of annual "ground rent" (aka UBI) via a progressive inheritance tax. Things too radical for politicians to say TODAY.

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit after pressure from White House. The exhibit says only 3 presidents (Johnson, Clinton, and Nixon) were threatened with impeachment. Are people seeing this? Trump pressured museums into lying - erasing history. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep! Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications. This should also be banned? Influence being bought in Govt? Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

Religious Children Are Meaner (Like Bullies) Than Secular Kids (Not the only study on this) www.theguardian.com/world/2015/n...

Including Kanaka Maoli.

The thing is, if you really believe in an interventionist God, anything can be a cause of anything and science only holds for things God is, for the time being, indifferent to.

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE. That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist. Language has been turned on its head. The law has been turned on its head. Murdering children is righteous. Trying to stop it is terrorism.

The hardest disbelief to suspend about the show.

Generating electricity from solar or wind is now much cheaper than gas. People aren’t seeing the benefit of cheap renewable power, because electricity prices are still tied to the price of gas. Our plan would break that link halving bills and save families £870 a year. www.libdems.org.uk/energy
