Politicians knowing about Mandelson's ties to Epstein and still appointing him is grim. But others need to answer questions as well.

How much did @thetimes.com know about Peter Mandelson's involvement with Epstein, given they literally employed him until he became U.S. ambassador?

The violence and killings by government forces of U.S. citizens in Minnesota isn't new.

Just look into how U.S. government have treated black and native americans throughout U.S. history.

Other Brits that want good analysis of what is going on in the U.S. should watch this.👇

So media activists came after "trans activists," and they're now coming after "ADHD activists," Moving from one marginalised group to the next. As an autistic person, I see what they're doing.

We clearly have some way to go to get acceptance of Neurodivergence in society.

Life thru a media lens #1 Media Reaction to the UK Budget. From the Telegraph’s “A red box of broken promises” and the Guardian’s “Chancellor targets wealthy”, how the media hyped up the UK budget last week.

TWO WEEKS to MEDIA LIBERATION DAY!
5th November 2025

The day we free ourselves from Malignant Media.

But how? What to do before and on the day?!

This is how to engage voters. By telling a powerful and compling story of the inspiring people that did the seemingly impossible.

As an aspiring investigative journalist myself, it's great to see Mamdani champion the legendary Nellie Bly.

So most voters still believe in the scientific consensus on climate change.

Almost as if newspapers owned by billionaires manipulating statistics is contributing to rising climate sceptism.

We are long overdue for a more diverse range of newspaper ownership in the UK.

2/2

So @thetimes.com newspaper ran a headline stating there was a rising tide of climate scepticism amongst British voters that had "jumped by more than 50%".

But looking beyond the headlines, voters believing climate change is exaggerated actually went from 16% to 25%.

A Democrat politician in the US is holding Nigel Farage accountable better than the mainstream UK press. Quite staggering, really.

“It’s horrifying that we live in a day and age where a landlord in Detroit can just haul up the cops and perform evictions. Why do you even have a weapon on you?” Over the last several months I have spoken to renters rights activists in various states across the USA about the issues they face, what laws they’d like to change on a state and federal level and wha...

Context behind this is that I'm currently Erik Loomis's book "A history of America in Ten Strikes" and I have written about the state of tenant rights and actions tenant unions in the U.S have taken in recent times so this is something im interested in.

Would any trade unionists in the U.S. be willing to be interviewed for an article i'm writing on the state of Labor conditions in the U.S. and any particular actions/strikes currently going on. Please DM me and/or share this around. #LaborDay

Podcaster interviews a War Criminal.

The not so honorable MP for Mar-a-lago skipping the return of parliament to speak alongside actual fascists. Stay classy Nige.

Those are fair comments.

I'll definitely update the spelling to reflect UK english.

Thanks so much. I've just subbed back.

The Corbyn/Sultana project is doomed to fail. Here's why. "The new Corbyn-Sultana party may the most sinister Britain has seen in decades." Predictably hilarious and outdated "reds under the bed" scaremongering from Camilla Tominey at the Telegraph.

Donald Trump said this after discussing it with Putin. Russian interference in US politics again i see.

You really couldn't make this up.

A government minister for homelessness is a landlord who made her tenants homeless.

I'm almost speechless.

This weird, rabid negative obsession some of the UK newspapers still have with the concept of working from home is just getting embarrassing.

Its been the new norm for many since the pandemic and they aren't going to reverse it.

@thetimes.com needs to grow up and get over it.

On a side note, i had no idea they were already doing this regarding Neurodiversity in schools. That's interesting to see.

With ever growing demand, waiting lists and a lot of schools unable to provide the support under the current system, there clearly needs to be changes made the way we do SEND provision. Whether these changes will be a good thing overall remain to be seen though. 3/3

I get the concern about changes to EHCPs, but as someone who benefitted from a SEND department in a mainstream school in the 2000s as an autistic child, i think there is well-meaning intent behind the reforms. 2/3

SEND units in mainstream schools set to replace individual care plans for children Plans are to be set out in a white paper due to be published in the autumn

It's easy to dunk on any changes or reforms the government makes, but in my opinion, the idea of better provision in mainstream settings for SEND students is not a bad thing. Thread 1/3
