Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

À very good article on Charlie Kirk and the aftermath of his shooting

Following Farage’s announcement that he plans to make “serious cuts to the welfare budgets” if he wins the next election, I’ve seen this claim being repeated from last year’s headlines again. So let’s take a look at the the reality rather than the weaponised version 🧵 1/21

👌🫡 #FreeDC

Just wow! The “Free DC” march is now on its way the White House. (🎥 Notify DC)

Another view of the thousands calling for an end to the militarization of DC. Chants of “Free DC! Down to Trump!” (🎥 WashingtonianProbs)

NEW: The anti-Trump protest happening right now on the streets of Washington DC is HUGE! It looks like tens of thousands have joined. This is the view from 16th Street - people stretching as far as the eye can see 👏

It's a shame The Simpsons didn't get the voice closer, but It's definitely a #Morrissey lyric:- Everyone Is Horrid Except Me (& possibly you) youtu.be/Of6CPxjh7lk?...

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

Exactly vas it was with Brexit, the media including the BBC are using lies & false stories, making out that human rights are a problem & the UK shouldn't have any. Having Europe in the title of ECHR seems to trigger so many gullible people. How can you think people don't need rights? It's insane

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant". Please share as widely as possible. Why are our hapless British politicians incapable of making such a speech?

Zack Polanski has been on Question Time 0 times. Nigel Farage has been on Question Time 38 times. But they both lead parties with 4 MP's. When is Zack getting his 38 appearances?

Une date fabuleuse à noter dans votre agenda, à date for my diary, Le Tour de France in Dordogne Saturday 11.07.2026

6. MPs voting on traditional and moral Labour lines (for example against the Tories' two-child benefit cap) are immediately suspended. MPs supporting traditional - and deeply immoral - Tory policies are promoted to the cabinet.

5. Keir Starmer, who hilariously claims to be leader of the Labour Party, yields to every sally by the far right, seeking to compete with Reform on cruelty and intolerance, while ruthlessly purging from the party anyone to the left of Vlad the Impaler.

3. The police throw the book at leftwing protesters for being seen in a public place, while giving the far right & farmers free rein. 4. A cabinet minister, Jonathan Reynolds, says protesters outside asylum hotels are “upset for legitimate reasons”. No minister says this about Gaza protesters.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

Do any reporters ever ask him why he says shit like this when it was Putin who invaded Ukraine, and not the other way around?

Mate of mine filmed this from New Brighton. That noise.

This is all becoming very dangerous and the Government's failure to show any kind of resistance to it is a disgrace www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

So Trump has told Fox News after meeting Putin & failing to create a peace agreement with Putin, because Putin told him that postal votes can be fraudulent, he therefore lost the election in 2020! Really? he won the last election with postal votes, & what about previous elections? He's simply a liar

In the run-up to the election, Trump said... and he said it 53 times... that he’d end the Ukraine war within 24 hours. He's currently been in office for 4992 hours. No sign of peace yet. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

Every media outlet has this headline yesterday, why? Just clickbait no doubt, surely no journalist or headline write seriously felt Trump would either do a deal with Putin to stop the war, or get tough with Putin. The man lies through his teeth, he bullied Zelensky in Washington & kisses Putin's A

US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.

A great thread by Emma Monk, many people, even those you may think have a tolerant nature & quite sensible, will suddenly say, "it's not fair these asylum seekers are living in 5 star luxury hotels", "they get new iPhones, laptops", etc etc

You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list itself? Let's go Debunking! 1/34

This will cause murder, I expect to see ICE patrolling street, parks, the beach and whatever you do, don't take a sandwich into an airport, or think about a full on picnic or have a barbecue, there aren't going to have enough room to put everyone who is breaking the law.

The World of Donald Trump is very similar to his mate Putin

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.

Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."

Between 1946 and 1989 England built an average of 2 reservoirs a year. Since 1989 when Water was privatised it has built -35. Built 0 and sold off 35. Worse than useless.

HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER THIS TOXIC TRIO? Change can happen. Change happens from the ground up. Let’s make it happen.

Issuing a correction: I’d previously argued that Lime’s e-bike accident insurance policy in London was effectively useless, as customers had to lose an entire kidney to claim. And who could lose a kidney riding a Lime bike? Then a reader got in touch! www.londoncentric.media/p/london-lim...

A female Everton supporter went to the match with her 2 children & was told she had to remove her Palestine jersey in order to enter Hill Dickinson Stadium. Those who stopped her claimed the Palestine jersey was banned. #BoycottEverton ⚽️ #ZioLickspittles #BackingGenicide

Good news that Merseyside police are listening to people who have stolen items with trackers inside, especially bikes, a lot of forces ignore victims who tell them where the bike is. It can obviously lead to more discoveries of stolen gear

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.
