Quite the spectacle to see media outlets who've cheered on austerity saying 'oh god, SEND spending is out of control'. Well, if you gut councils, fail to provide local special school spaces, collapse SureStart and leave public/collective transport to rot, that's what happens. Cuts are expensive

Badenoch @ #PMQs

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

More and more Reform councillors biting the dust. Is the bbc beginning to think it backed the wrong horse?

Look at Kent. Scale that up to the national level and realise what a national govt made up of these arrogant, incompetent deviants would be like. They would make Truss look like a genius.

👍

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

Given the abject horror that has taken place you'd think, for once that Trump wouldn't make it all about himself. But like a stuck record, there he is... going on about himself

Orban and Strumpf - look like tellytubbies.

How much do we believe Mr Lowe? Yes, I thought so. The internal scrapping, rampant in their local authority cabales, is about to burst out at the national level.

Is the Antifa mirage replacing the one they called woke? It seems that the more nebulous it is the more reason there is to hate it. And because it doesn't exist it's difficult to defend.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

"Really worrying" about Strumpf's illegal actions is not enough. Congress has the power to impeach rogue presidents. There needs to be opposition leadership to take the necessary steps to get there before it's too late.

The media (for the most part) has done a fine job in calling out Jenricks naked racism.

See, you can do it.

Why not Farage’s?

God love Kew, this is incredible

Moore predicted this.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already. It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

... and Communism becomes the same thing as far right autocracy.

Let's hope she will!

And please, Dear People of Wales, remember that if you decide not to vote or you can't be bothered to vote you will be opening the door to the catastrophe that is Reform.

It’s not opera that’s elitist but the idea that art is to... The myth that culture has not been for the masses is debunked in a new book

EXACTLY!
‘Where once there was a yearning to be “exposed to something extraordinary”, today politicians and arts administrators are besotted by the notion of “relevance”, of the arts as something with which people must immediately identify or recognise.’ observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Reform a party of grifters. If you vote for liars and conmen expect to be deceived and conned!

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of ‘poisoning our kids’ on race issues Exclusive: Reform UK leader’s remarks at event for private US college criticised as ‘grossly irresponsible’ by NEU leader

Farage/Reform and the Trump playbook.

Mass sackings of unsympathetic civil servants
Promise to reduce workers's rights
Inflict spending cuts - hit the poor, old, sick, disabled

Now claims teachers are “poisoning our kids” - just as Nazis did to control education.

Power grab by dividing society.

Hook, line and sinker.

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform
