At what point do we ban Twitter in the UK for being used by their owner to incite violence?

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: โ€œNobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobodyโ€™s worth less.โ€ It is an egalitarian view that Iโ€™ve carried around in my life. Thatโ€™s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. Itโ€™s not. Itโ€™s only freedom to exploit people.

Woahhhhhh.

A poll that shows the Greens surging to 15% - and just 2 points behind the Labour party.

Do it! Weโ€™re also the only party that lets members vote on policy, so if youโ€™re not 100% aligned then you can help move it in your own direction

Make it easier to sack failing officers, urges Met police chief Mark Rowley reveals one in 10 officers are not fully deployed due to worries over their performance or health issues

Frustrating he doesnโ€™t. The policing unions are strong and there has to be a whole process or the MET can get sued, even if there was just cause. Heโ€™s asked the government to change the rules to give him more powers to fire but they havenโ€™t.

Tell me what areas you disagree with them on? Weโ€™re also the only party that lets members vote on the policy of the party, so if you donโ€™t like it, you can change it

Or, you know, just join the left wing party that already has a system where the members decide the policies and is experiencing a popularity boom.

the worst thing a country can do is hold immigrants to a higher accountability than it holds its own citizens. A reminder that the average reading age of an adult in this country is of an 8-9 year old. But Labour only wants migrants with degrees to come work here. Hope they're coming to teach

If you talk about AI taking over jobs without mentioning UBI in the same breath, up against the wall with you. Use the savings companies make on payroll to justify higher tax and pass it on to us.
