"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."
Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?
Too many Big Macs and Fanta Orange 🤣🤣🤣
Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.
On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said the “better off dead” narrative being weaponized against us would be used for other groups of people.
The fascists won’t ever stop. They see everyone else as less than. Expendable. Not worthy of life.
Its eugenics on a massive scale
When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.
Trump accuses UK PM of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won' - The ‘special relationship’ is a sick joke. We need to learn the lesson and join with our closest friends and allies.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Another expenses-paid $$$$ earner!
"21,225 people voted for Nigel Farage in Clacton
They hoped he’d make life there better
Instead, he skips key meetings about its regeneration
But finds time to go to Florida & make speeches
He’s laughing at you, #Clacton"

It really is something to see politicians, commentators and media outlets whose whole identity is based on being so-called ‘patriots’ frothing with excitement as they line up to back a deranged megalomaniac who consistently attempts to belittle and bully the country they claim to love
Frank Zappa knew
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
The Right have been going after the rising 'welfare bill' in recent weeks, mostly missing the fact that over half of it is pensions. Yes folks, Nanny & Grandad are apparently jobless scroungers.
And anyway, why are we paying out more in pensions as the number of old people grows? A mystery.
People say Farage has charisma. This isn’t charismatic. This is dismissive and rude. It’s a serious question about BNP-style racism within his party. And Farage can’t cope with that kind of scrutiny. So he lashes out.
Under the spotlight, his ‘charisma’ turns very sour indeed.
“In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People.”

There's always money to bomb children.
There's never money to feed children.
There's always money for billionaire's tax cuts.
There's never money for universal healthcare.
There's always money for private jets.
There's never money for public schools.
Do you see?
While I suspect there may be an element of a post by-election bump here, it should be a warning sign for Labour that their hostile policies towards asylum seekers, migrants in general, trans and non-binary individuals, disabled people etc aren't winning them any votes.

While we worry about flights and energy costs, Israel tightens its siege of Gaza bit.ly/4rbmbmy leaving 2 million people without food
Statistically neurodivergent individuals are at heightened risk of exploitation.
Modern slavery is not an "immigration issue". It is a wider one, affecting people from all walks of life, with intersectionalities with disability, gender, age, poverty etc. 1/

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail
Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.
Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections
Private equity companies linked to Manchester City owner, and Bono making millions in profit through taxpayer-funded special needs schools.
20%+ profit margins. Children are cash cows.
Councils pay up to £350,000 a year to support pupils.
Money ends up in offshore tax havens.

Well said!👏
Tom Kerridge: "Immigration is constantly used by political parties for masking years and years of infrastructure to health, housing, employment, education.
"It is not the fault of immigration, it is the fault of poor spending, it is the fault of poor money management."
I agree on all points.
Blue Labour as a concept needs to go in the bin, alongside the idea of Lexit. Cut the twin cancers out.
Brexit should go on the scrap heap of history.
FPTP has had its day too.
Roll on PR, and a full-throated and unashamed campaign to negotiate with the EU to rejoin ASAP.
A new politics of hope was born this morning. We do not need to be the cruel nation that Badenoch, Starmer and Farage want. @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party have shown us we have a choice.
BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Congratulations!
