1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

A very interesting BBC piece by Adam Pope on how close the Toffees came to signing Don Revie as team manager - including a hitherto unseen contract document: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The unsigned contract found in paperwork last summer that would have taken Don Revie from Leeds to Everton in 1973. @davelifelines.bsky.social 👇 BBC News - Everton: Don Revie and the contract he never signed - found in a bungalow 50 years later - BBC Sport www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

Trump By Name Trump by Nature! What is the meaning of the word Trump? /trəmp/ Other forms: trumps; trumped; trumping. To trump is to outrank or defeat someone or something, often in a highly public way.

Midnight in Kyiv. Electricity is back after 10 hours without it. I’m charging everything, waiting for the water to warm up, and then I’ll wash my hair. Because you never know what you might not have tomorrow. That’s the rule of life in Kyiv now.

Noisettes' "Never Forget You" went from 2009 UK Top 20 hit to TikTok viral sensation. The "To the guy/girl..." meme gave this indie gem new life, proving great music never really fades. Shingai Shoniwa's vocals still hit different. 🎵✨ #Noisettes #IndieRock #ViralMusic

Yes Trump attacking Venezuela is about the Oil, but as this excellent thread shows, it's about the Dollar!

I wonder why Trump wants to invade a country & kidnap their president? Could it be that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world?

Both of these along with Gove and many of the Government at the time, such as Boris should be in prison for large scale fraud!

FIFA is an international "self-regulatory governing body of association football, beach football, and futsal". Which naturally means it can give its first ever Peace Prize to anyone they think will lick their backside in return, meaningless, except to the idiot that accepts it. #corrupt

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

God this man is monster, the Ukraine war with Russia? Ukraine was invaded by Russia you numbskull!

What on earth?

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors.

The last line sums these Britain First fools up, RE the protest against Gary Neville on Salford City's pitch:- "a third planned to join them but couldn't get his jacket off". Very Trumpian using the exaggerated word "Traitor" to describe Gary the only people likely to be traitors are the flag morons

“Why would children be interested in our ‘Bubble Gum Minty Mint Pops’, ‘Spongebob Squarepants Strawberry Breeze’ or ‘Triple Cola Fuzzy Bears’ flavours, which are all clearly aimed at adults?” From the new Private Eye, out now.

⚡️The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Maria Corina Machado. The Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded it for "her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela."

These people are insane, fascists who juat want to talk absolute rubbish, divide, people, blame people based on the type of person, race, politics, etc, he can hardly speak, but admits "we are going to make the proof", because there is no link. They all need impeaching for treason to US citizens
