Which makes the U.K. Government’s obsession with sticking to X as a channel for official comms even more baffling. They might as well use OnlyFans.

Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES!

Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No.

Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES!

Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES!

Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES!

Fund mRNA research!

Kirsty Alsopp asking "When will Rachel Reeves start talking about saving money not just finding more & more ways of taking money away from people who themselves have bothered to save and work hard?"

64% of the richest 10% in Britain got most of their money via inheritance, not by working for it.

Such as Allsopp, the eldest daughter of Baron Hindlip, chairman of Christies, who got her start in TV via her art history degree, which she studied at ... Christies.

But sure. More austerity.

Passengers not profit: a vision for the Railways Bill | We Own It The government's upcoming Railways Bill should include these reforms if it is serious about delivering for passengers.

🚨BREAKING: Rail fares could go up by 5.5%🚨

But they don't have to. There is a different way.

Delivering public ownership of our whole railway - not only train operators - would allow the government to cut fares for you.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

The absolute cream turnip of hypocrites.

GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.

Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.

For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Monastic music that survived Henry VIII’s dissolution brought back to life Buckland Abbey recreates music telling of medieval life in extraordinary discovery

I really, really want to see the scholarship associated with this research, because the way it's written up here highlights the complete forking tragedy that Exeter axed its music department 20 years ago. Utter garbage reporting. Make it make sense!! #earlymodern

Sickening. Shameful. And in the end, useless.

Those were the words that came to mind when we watched the Alaska Summit unfold.

Jenrick's unsubstantiated implication that men from 'backward countries' are more likely to be rapist is a tired rehash of the sort of rhetoric black Britons had to endure from the Union Movement and League of Empire Loyalists in the 1950s. Shame on Disney Murals Bob.

You don’t say!

Letter from Ed Davey to Together with Refugees and co-signatories committing to stand together against racism and hatred. Full letter text available at link below.

Hundreds of charities have written to all party leaders urging us to take a strong stand against racism and hatred.

I strongly agree – here’s my reply👇

The Great British fear factory: manufacturing a lawless London Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making us safer – it’s about manufacturing fear for political gain

Crime is roughly half what it was in the 90s. Britain is still one of the safest countries in the developed world.

So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape? The Bear provides the answer ⤵️

Great long piece on BBC news about the massive increase in the cost of cod and the impact on fish and chip shops.

No mention at all of Brexit which has significantly affected £££

For the millionth time: We import ten times as much cod as this country catches.

What did they think would happen?

"This is liberation day in DC and we are going to take our capital back." The president continued: "So today we are declaring a public safety emergency in the district of Columbia." He added it is not just about safety but also the "beautification" of the city.

It's only fascism if it's from Italy, otherwise it's just sparkling "beautification".

Thames Water MP pledge, which says "Make Thames Water public. I pledge that if and when Thames Water comes into Special Administration, I will back permanent public ownership. I will say no to re-privatisation."

⚠️The writing's on the wall for Thames Water.
Government is stepping up plans for temporary nationalisation. It's starting to look inevitable.

MPs need to pledge that they will 'Make Thames Water Public' & fight against any discounted sell-off back to the private profiteers.

OMFG the BLEATING of the "victims" of VAT on private schools is one of the most insufferable lobbies in the entire social media sphere.

You're paying VAT for your little darlings. Get over it and get a life. If you can't afford it, join us, The Plebs, in the state system. 1/3

I made this comparison when Palestine Action was first banned - and I've yet to hear any rationale for distinguishing between the two contexts. IMHO a telling comparator when it comes to measuring the illiberal turn in Western politics.

Labour making work pay by giving 3 million workers a minimum wage pay boost worth up to £1,400 a year

Driving through the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.

Breaking down the barriers with an uplift in skills funding, worth £1.2 billion a year.

Labour get it right 👍

I genuinely don’t understand why the labour government would view retired vicars at a humanitarian demonstration in the same light as far right extremists plotting targeted violence.

I think this is state overreach to protect a political position.

And any larger animal life would have to be introduced ‘unnaturally’!

A question I have often asked: how can you go for a walk in 'nature' when almost everything you see has been manipulated by humans? An argument for areas where we do absolutely nothing for hundreds of years?
