Deborah Friedell · Delete the workforce: Musk’s Twitter Takeover Trump praised Musk for being so good at firing people: ‘You’re the greatest cutter. I mean, I look at what you do....

‘He didn’t ban posts that included links to newspapers, but they were often downranked so fewer people would see them (“freedom of speech, not freedom of reach”, as Musk likes to say).’

To manage things for the benefit of the wealthy until the Tories sort themselves out, as it more or less always has been.

They can afford flights though down there.

I think we can rule that out pretty much right away: a "Great British capital gains tax for Kiev" seems an unlikely move for Rachel Reeves.

Ignoring it and restating your own message would make more sense, but they can't help themselves, still somehow thinking that this time the witty expose will do the trick.

Hence "Branson shaped" rather than "Branson" himself. This model is useless if we want to build anything better.

Whatever the legal status of various parts of the network now or in the future, major investment is what will improve it & that means investment strategies aimed at creating a network like numerous other countries have managed. Kick all the profit making elements out, specially Branson shaped ones.

Might spook a few centrists but obviously the network needs to taken into state control. I've been in countries that are classed as developing nations with public transport networks that makes ours look like a cruel joke.

Though best to remember the Chinese notion that their public can change policies but not the party, whereas we can, (could), change party but not the policies.
Which is what got us here.

I have friends who've officially observed Russian elections, & lived in Moscow myself for 4 of them. They look very much like western elections, all the same trappings are there.
As in soviet times the election becomes a ritual to be observed, a show of fealty for some, just more noise to most.

The second they start pulling on that thread their entire universe collapses: true captains go down with the ship.

Or Russians have been giving us since about 2012. At least we'll get to see whether the angry flag people on twitter really would stand up if they lived there.

"...has access to bombmaking manuals" really means "has google on their phone." Watching the BBC lately I wonder if the dark web just means anything other than LinkedIn and the NYT comment section for these lot.

Whereas Netanyahu is not. Perhaps we might look for some other measure by which to judge such matters.

Rarely taught media literacy lesson: if a news website has no advertising, no paywall and maybe just an unobtrusive "donate here" button, it is funded (to a large extent, if not exclusively) by grants from powerful institutions (governments, foundations, corporations).

Western-Backed NGOs: A Hollow Version of Civil Society Donald Trump’s moves to dismantle USAID clearly aren’t driven by fears of infringing on other nations’ sovereignty. Still, we should recognize that Global South NGOs’ reliance on Western donors hinder...

"Societies make laws only once a problem demanding regulation appears; where there is no problem, there won’t be a law regulating it. The Maldives have no law on mountain rescue operations, and Mongolia has no law on deep-sea fishing."

I guess you'd only find out if they unexpectedly found that their success depended on a turn to the monstrous.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. How to avoid (even more) austerity... - Raise taxes on ordinary people (strikethrough) - Borrow more at higher interest rates (strikethrough) Wealth tax on the super-rich (check) Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Rachel Reeves is threatening yet more public spending cuts due to the increasing cost of borrowing.

But our services simply can’t take any more austerity.

The Government should tax the super-rich fairly to help fund public services and close the inequality gap.

Right, you fucks, if you live in the UK sign this. If you don’t live in the UK share it as some of your followers might and they should sign this.

They do indeed, but twitter brain is helping neither Aaron nor Michael these days.
The girls as ever are beyond reproach.

The fear that haunts Musk haunts our Novara comrades too; things are being said about them that need correcting, and correcting, and correcting...

A picture of a raised fist against a blue background. The Green Party logo is in the top-right corner. Text reads: "Racism is the engine of fascism Leeds Green Party unequivocally condemns the recent racist attacks by Robert Jenrick. Real Hope. Real Change."

✊ Racism is the engine of fascism; Leeds Green Party stands in solidarity, playing our part to combat it.

🚫 We refute the pathetic and derisive attempt made by Robert Jenrick to court publicity from the media and appeal to the dog-whistle mentality of the Far Right.

Maybe a linguistic fossil from a time before sugar formed 60 odd percent of our diet. But then there's ginger nuts and donuts.

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.

What about those who are suffering here and now?

We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

Power over others, a bunch of incompetent fascist governments who will bow to him. Never struck me as the masterplan type; Elmo's really not that deep a thinker.
