When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.
He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.
Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Bad news: that techno-driven dystopia we envisioned in our nightmares has arrived earlier than we feared.
Worse news: much of its horror is down to sheer bloody incompetence as much as the tech itself.
Fuck this tech and all who sail in her.
Image shows Churchill Square in Brighton on a sunny day. A police live Facial Recognition van is parked and multiple police officers can be seen stood in front of it.
If you are visiting glorious Brighton on this sunny day (as you definitely should), please be aware that at Churchill Square this van is live scanning everyoneβs faces and making the city look more like a police state than the gorgeous day out it is!

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.
New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:
π’ Green Party: Β£189,010
π£ Reform UK: Β£5,456,000
Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

Migrants & refugees have always been, and always will be, part of who we are as a country. Migration is a story as old as time. People coming here to live is part of the patchwork that makes Britain great

Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.
In pushing Labour's extreme and hostile anti-asylum and anti-immigration policies the Home Secretary has lied. She has, deliberately or through ignorance, misled the public on fundamental aspects of both. That alone should surely be a resigning matter

One way of thinking about genAI is:
Suppose you steal every English word on the internet, and then look up what words are most likely to follow the word "throbbing."
And then whenever you see "throbbing" you slap on a likely word
You're gonna end up talking about throbbing dicks in weird contexts
USA is now a fascist state and we should all be like Spain: tell them to fuck the fuck off until they have destroyed the Trump regime.

The MAGA who regret voting for Trump, will 100% vote for the next Trump regardless of how much of a racist bigot he is.
They haven't actually learned their lesson. They're just mad they're getting hurt too.
These people didn't vote FOR Trump, they voted AGAINST vulnerable communities.

Indeed. The moderates who wail "all views matter" have clearly never been in a room with someone who wants them dead merely for existing.
It's Popper's paradox of tolerance writ large, but they're too insulated by privilege (and lacking in basic empathy) to understand.
'centrists' are the extremists.
im tired of this lie that murdering disabled ppl, persecuting lgbt+ ppl, being racist xenophobic shitbags is all just perfectly reasonable, normal, moderate grown-up politics.
you ppl are disgusting and insane.
Water privatisation has failed. South East Water spent more on shareholder dividends than on infrastructure. Now the taps aren't working in Kent and Sussex.
Tell Emma Reynolds and Ofwat, bring South East Water into public ownership immediately.

The United States was literally founded by fundamentalist religious (Christian) extremists and capitalist ventures built on slavery, genocide, and ecological exploitation - all rooted in Eurocentric YT supremacy and patriarchy.
We either dismantle this entire rotten system or go extinct.
Not that I've seen, sadly. But these things are never straightforward at the best of times. Sigh. At least we still have some beautiful art β€οΈ

Trans people are under attack.
They are trying to make them going out in public illegal.
They are taking away their licenses.
If you cannot see that the moment you unpeople one demographic, you create a gray area for every other demographic, you're beyond hope.
Trans rights are human rights.
True. Adaptation is a dark art at the best of times. A wonderful challenge, though. It would be incredible to see how such things as the different branches of metapsychics could be translated to screen.
