It's vampire season

Our media lets us down badly :

Labours accomplishments - rarely mentioned

Nigel Farage’s house - dropped/ignored

Nathan Gill’s admission of working for Russia - zilch

Russia/Iran funding Reform/Farage - silence

Instead they spread lies on the Budget/MPs/anything to discredit Labour

Why????

Brass eye!

Nahhh.. just flop it out the side 😎

Project 2025: The UK Edition (Part 2) A Cambridge academic, a YouTube influencer, and Reform UK’s old HQ - the ingredients for our own Project 2025 are already mixed.

"..they’re a ... pipeline that’s designed to directly connect American conservative ideology with British Political infrastructure, fossil fuel money and algorithm native media into a single, highly effective and coherent operation"

This is the way it's going.

That's why some of us work hard behind the headlines to be sure that better people get elected.

What we have today is far from perfect, though is an order of magnitude better than we had.

It's going to take a generation here and the USA to get the balance right again

The BBC bears responsibility for normalising Reform without asking the serious questions and investigating this incubating fascist party.

Increasingly obvious

WOW! This Mail column about diversity in adverts is wild.

Straight out of the Project 2025 recipe book for authoritarianism.

Life's too short for perfect prose

It's the manopause, don't fight it 😎

Shush!! I've been getting away with all that until now.. 😬

Sure, I'm always open to the idea.

I think the issue is installation, it's easy to make kits available but less straightforward when you're bolting a fragile kite sail to the railings. Probably does require some compliance oversight.

If you still think there's something "it's complicated" about Israel/Palestine you should probably read this.

The Tories Are Not Okay - And We Urgently Need Them to Be The Conservatives' Spectacular Collapse Into Grievance and Grandstanding Isn't Just Their Problem - It's Ours Too, Whether We Vote For Them Or Not

"..the failure on behalf of the Conservative party is an incredible gift to the far-right populists that are looking to overwhelm this country with their toxic rhetoric and own unworkable plans."

Civil Service flies in hundreds of foreign stafi despite vow to cut migration Contrary to Labour pledge to bring situation under control, hordes of overseas workers still in Government employ Department for Work & Pensions

Just to note, the “hordes” being referred to in this @telegraphnews.bsky.social headline works out to around 400 overseas workers employed by the civil service - or around 0.07% of the total civil service workforce.

Obvs.. 😎

A ‘magic pill’ made Israeli violence invisible. We need to stop swallowing it | Diana Buttu For years, I pressed Palestinian interests in peace talks. The response to Trump’s plan proves the international community hasn’t learned from catastrophe

"The “peace process” became a magic pill rendering the occupation invisible, disguising its metastisizing, omnipresent and violent form. Palestine was reduced to a subject of “negotiation”, with the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine swept under the rug"

That's ambitious, good on you for trying it 😎

Primary enemies of American Presidents. 👇

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Nice one 💗

Oohhh.. didn't think of that

Preparing you all for the theocracy to come when Vance takes over

I should watch that later 👍🏼
