“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.”
My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts.
Sorry, but it has to be said:
Incredible.
one of the most thorough skewerings I’ve ever seen during PMQs
Keir Starmer says Kemi Badenoch in eight years as an MP never mentioned grooming gangs in the House of Commons - not once - even when she was children’s minister
Badenoch insists she has raised the issue “in speeches” but is unable to deny the charge #pmqs
The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.
“I’m prepared to call out this for what it is. We’ve seen this playbook many times…when the poison of the far right leads to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others than in my book a line has been crossed”
Prime minister Keir Starmer
There are 3.4 million girls 14 and under in England.
Elon Musk just wrote that 1 out of every 13 such girls is right now being “systematically raped by migrant gangs.”
The man has gone utterly insane. He’s a sociopath. His latest post is—unambiguously—neo-Nazi rhetoric intended to incite violence.
The simplest statements are often the best…
If only there’d been some sort of clue that Musk was supremely comfortable with racist grifters, conspiracy theories & liars…
(Good scoop, though.)
Musk is ignorant, insane - and extremely dangerous.
The only good billionaire, is a former billionaire.
Lets make them all into good billionaires.
I’ve wondered why super-rich owners keep pushing right-wing bias in their papers, since they no longer reflect or drive public opinion (if they did, the Tories would have won the last election). I think it’s that they’re still paid attention by MPs/journos/BBC. And maybe they’re a comfort blanket
this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility
1) New Year’s Honours list is nominated by public not by political leaders
2) Khan has won three elections so the average Londoner clearly doesn’t think he’s a failure
Adrian Dittmann revealed.
Make America Great by deporting him back to South Africa.
“Brexit made the UK an early victim of this reactionary politics which, instead of making this country great again, has already made it poorer and lonelier. Who knows what further damage may be awaiting our younger generations.”
I want to thank Elon Musk for attacking Wikipedia for being a part of the internet he can't currently control. It reminded me to donate to support Wikipedia, the best remaining thing about the internet. You can donate here: donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?...
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I thought this might be worth sharing on Bluesky!!
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
Thames Water diverted millions of pounds pledged for environmental clean-ups to pay bonuses & dividends
187 criminal convictions since 1989, routinely dumps sewage in rivers/seas, neglects investment.
Protected by successive govts, customers fleeced.

Should billionaires and corporations be banned from buying political parties in the UK?
Like if yes.
RP if it's HELL YES.

How did the King of South Africa get elected in America.
Russia is buying all the Kings, Elon. Haven’t you been paying attention?
