Working from home... 😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky

Another very good example of the Times spreading fact free propaganda.
It has been bad for a long time but feels like it’s getting worse over the last months.

More than fifty private schools shut since Labour put VAT on fees Department for Education defends ending tax breaks for independent institutions, after parents lost a legal battle at the High Court this year — view map

The headline here should say:

"Number of private schools increases by 35 - showing fears of an exodus to be unfounded".

(The increase is mentioned way down the article.)

"In the US, there’s a rape every 68 seconds, a woman is beaten by an intimate partner every nine seconds.... Globally a woman or girl is murdered by her partner or family member every 10 minutes."

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

And this so applied to the UK

The Renewable Illusion: Why Fossil Fuels Keep Winning Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Here’s why solar’s surge isn’t enough—and what the latest energy data really shows.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵

Labour MPs urge Thames Water to recover £2.5m paid to executives in April Exclusive: Letter to water company sets out demands, including resolving most severe cases of pollution

Labour MPs urge Thames Water to recover £2.5m bonus paid to executives in April.

TW has branded bonuses as 'retention payments'.

What is the point of urging TW? It knowingly circumvents rules.

OFWAT/Govt have failed to act.

End privatisation. Give customers a vote on exec pay.

A screenshot of an image with text down the left hand side. The text is yellow on a green background and goes from top to bottom across half of the page. The text says: ‘From now on, all jobs numbers will be coming from the guy who says he’s 6’3 and weighs 215. The image is a photograph of the overweight short orange clown baby wearing his white gold gloves and wearing his usual red shite hat on his big orange wotsit buffoon head.

We can safely say that anything coming from the White House is full of shite.
My eyes roll into the back of my head so often these days it may as well be classed as a nap.

So is the Govt’ demanding that the private companies who are carrying out the contract, hire ex-offenders. Are they legally allowed to do that? Is it just spin? I think anything that helps rehabilitation is good, but I’m not convinced of the Govt’s intent. Call me cynical.

Is there anything much more repulsive than a very wealthy, safe, privileged Tory/Reform MP/commentator targeting deliveroo drivers and asylum-seekers in dismal hotels with their anti-immigrant, racist bile - to whip up civil unrest that they hope to use as their lever into power? No.

He has no idea

🤷🏼‍♂️

When will he have huge images of himself adorning the outside of buildings?

Paving over the Rose Garden and taking over the Kennedy Center (and vowing to slap Melania’s name on the Opera House) are just gratuitous acts of spite intended to inflict pain on the people he hates. The cruelty is always the point with that SOB.

Astute observation.

Horrific.
Just...horrific.

Writing in that right wing rag, The Telegraph today, Rachel Reeves accuses Jeremy Corbyn of trying to destroy 'her party'.
I think you'll find that's Keir Starmer's party, Rachel.
Anyway, it certainly isn't the Labour Party of Keir Hardie, and it absolutely deserves to fail.

Good morning 🌞

A true definition of patriotism

#corbyn #yourparty #socialism

These aren’t official thugs, they are Trump’s goons.

Rat them out. If you know who they are Please let America know who these traitors are. Did you hear him? They're looking for "a brown girl."
Everyone needs to do this. Gang up together. Film everything. Question everything. Ask for warrants.

Hear, hear

Thesis: there is no UK government, only a set of project managers for big tech.

I would much prefer the Mussolini ending version.

Those "concerned parents" outside "migrant hotels" remind me a lot of the paedophile mob panic created by the News of the World's "name and shame" campaign in 2000.

Same idiots. Same press. Same mentality.

Yes - the News of the World.

Remember why they shut down?

This is way beyond perverse. 13yrs old, Jesus Christ on a bike.
