Minister: Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters 7 Nurse: That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian [Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters] Nurse 2: Give us your phone, love 8 Nurse: At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to [We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Zia Yusuf hates this, because it mocks his ignorant followers.

That is enough reason to love it.

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

If every youthful Green/Left voter
was also an activist
leafletting, canvassing,
discussing, debating,
organising protests,
stalls in every town centre ...

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

Lying, thieving b******

The Greatest Podium Of All Time And it'll never be repeated.

No paywall - because everything is better without paywalls*

*although I also need a paywall to keep going. But you know what I mean.

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

The Bristol show last night was brilliant! Really enjoyed it.

Tommy Robinson sent a letter to himself, he meant to log out and send it from a different account.

But he didn't.

Don't RT 🤣

Sadly not mine. She will never get my vote again.

The cost of not closing tax loopholes
and not going after tax cheats
far far outweighs the cost of ALL benefit fraud PLUS refugees
(which is one of the reasons for Brexit)

Actual Reform policies.

Screenshot of an amendment to the King's Speech, voted on 23 July 2024. The Amendment is to abolish the two-child benefit cap and is signed by all four Green MPs.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up?

No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July.

Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Happy birthday to the wonderful Siouxsie. Born this day in 1957, the best year of course!

Starmer denigrates Covid heroes

"These are just 33 of the doctors who died trying to save patients during Covid, Keir Starmer.
All but two were migrants, or the children of them.
They didn’t take time off work & stay out of danger.
They gave their lives for us.
WERE THEY STRANGERS?"

Watching the cycling Tour of Jura and the leader is someone called T. Rex.
I'm veering between waiting for him to sing and wondering if he has to stay crouched forward so he can reach the handlebars.

I know but...

@shazmo27.bsky.social happy birthday!

So, today's the day!
I left school and started work in 1974. I had a few periods of unemployment that were difficult and unpleasant. So I really appreciate how lucky I am to be able to retire today. Even at my ripe old age!
Onwards and upwards to the next phase of my life!

This is my last Friday being at work! Just next Thursday to go then it's retirement time! 😁🥳

Pathetic of the RS.

FFS, this is mad. The NHS needs more staff not less!

I enjoyed watching you beat dirty Leeds!
