It’s not about being β€œright” (& we can learn what mis info they get by listening), but it is about exposing them to other facts, to more information, a bigger picture, as you say, what’s really going on outside a tiny rabbit hole

Good on you. I’ve had those arguments too, correcting rubbish, reading out actual facts, explaining why something might have been told a certain way; yes explaining that some news don’t cover it.
Keep it up. It does work

People do quit and leave cults. Especially when they don’t benefit from them. They sometimes just pretend it was never a thing.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Its absolutely outrageous that they can be at the negotiating table & then our PM puts out a statement that actually condemns Iran for a retaliatory attack as opposed to Israel & America that started the bombing in the first place"🎯

@zackpolanski.bsky.social says the PM should condemn the strikes by the US/Israel as illegal & unprovoked

#bbclaurak: but what about Irans retaliatory strikes, you're not calling on them to de-escalate

Doesn't LK know what retaliation means? Of course she does. Shes just doing her job

#bbclaurak: look at the pattern of negotiations with Iran over the years

Ok. There was a deal & Trump ripped it up, during negotiations last year Israel bombed the Iranian negotiators, & last week mediators said a deal was within reach & the very next day the US/Israel attacked!

I reckon it'll be more than 80.

Labour MPs largely didnt favour it already, and fhe political arguements have collapsed (not to mentioned the silly rhetoric)

According to old tradition, daffodils bloom around 1st March in honour of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales. His feast day falls on this date and coincides with the beginning of meteorological spring. #StDavidsDay #FolkloreSunday

It's really not that surprising. The data exists. I'm just hoping to see my residential street go down to 40km/h.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

β€œHelsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

The Finnish fly fishing scene is awaiting the next round of clear-cut logging of wetland forests with horror.

The impacts will multiply in the rapidly heating Finnish climate, especially in the winter. The ground doesn't freeze, and there will be more discharge.

The Washington Post sacked all of its Middle East correspondents a couple of weeks ago. Useful.

Lack of experienced experts in US team means they were seemingly relying on outside sources to interpret it for them,

Yeah when you outsource all of your MENA expertise to the FDD, which is little more than a lobbying firm for Israel, it turns out you'll get war.

Measles cases have now been confirmed in Mass.

Vaccines save livesβ€”and our federal health leaders should be saying that loudly and clearly. Instead, RFK sows doubt about vaccine safety while his Surgeon General nominee won't commit to recommending the vaccine. Baystate families deserve better.

I remain bewildered how Labour seem so steadfastly against any kind of centre left coalition. Same when Cameron/Clegg teamed up. That could have been Labour/Lib no? Instead they try and appease the rabid right who will never side with them.

Agree, you can criticise them as regards their immigration policies for example, but they've made big increases in public spending
Together with big increases in the minimum wage, workers/renters rights and large tax increases on the wealthy etc

Gorton and Denton by-election result:


GRN: 40.7% (+27.5)
REF: 28.7% (+14.7)
LAB: 25.4% (-25.3)
CON: 1.9% (-6.0)
LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1)


Green GAIN from Labour.

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.

It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.

Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.

Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.
