Describing 3,700 members as a "chunk" of the party who don't believe in his talents and approach and bringing up a discredited Sun article from 12 years ago is just too transparent.

People struggling to pay energy bills whilst companies make record profits.
Sewage in our waters whilst water company CEOs & shareholders make billions.

Starmer's article in the @financialtimes.com previewing his big AI announcement is just the same ChatGPT-coded management speak.

This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media.
This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign.
Meet the team.
This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017.

It’s even worse knowing that Wes actually met trans kids, listened to them cry about how awful it would be to go through the wrong puberty, how this is a lifesaving treatment, and is fucking doing this anyway
It’s even more heartless than shutting them out of conversations

Per què seguim a X? Per què anem a Bluesky?
És el dilema que viuen ciutadans, mitjans de comunicació i periodistes de tot el món. Abandonem X? Ens refugiem a la xarxa que intenta recuperar la utopia inicial de Twitter?

Living in Spain is a culture shock as the left here don't bother with appeasement.
Aware of the very real threat of their fascist opponents, and the desire of PSOE to crush them, they stay bold and push their agenda...successfully!
Setting this up...
Glad to be away from the X cesspit but hoping not to only see Democrats and American talking points 👀
