Zohran and Polanski are mobilising a new type of progressive politics. One where governments work for the majority, not the wealthy minority. Where politics isn’t something done to you, but something we do together. Where hope beats millions spent on misinformation and fear.

Make hope normal again.

Paralysed by the status quo and captured by lobbyists. Tax rises for ordinary people whilst delivering more managed decline. No sign of progressive changes that we hoped for after 14 disastrous years.

We had a NATO coalition and tens of thousands of troops in Afghanistan for 20 years and never managed to stop the cultivation of opium.

I have no idea what sort of brain damage the Trump administration has that makes them think they’re going to drone strike their way into ending cocaine use.

Via Press Gazette: "The Daily Star’s livestream of the Liz Truss lettuce has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive for a collection of significant pieces of online video. The BFI’s curator said it was “a seminal moment in British political history”"

Does Robert Jenrick even realise English clubs were banned from playing in any European football competitions after May 1985 for the rest of the decade, returning only in 1990/91, after Heysel disaster, as UEFA + our government felt fans couldn't be policed safely travelling away?

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Seeing lots of this tonight after that party political broadcast.

The Green Party are on track to overtake the Tories in membership.

Let's make hope normal again.

Moderate Labour politicians cosplaying as Reform MPs is an ugly watch.

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

Sick to death of think tanks financed by dark money, spewing out shit! How about those.

I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.

Anything but rejoining the single market. They are not serious people.

The UK Prime Minister lives inside a right wing echo chamber. After 14 years of pure shit, this is what we've been served. Astonishing stuff.

Octopus Energy Cheaper, greener energy, heat pumps, solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles from Britain's most awarded energy supplier. One of Europe's largest investors in renewable energy. Switch today.

Britain pays wind farms to turn off when it’s windy and overpays gas plants to switch on instead. It'll cost bill payers up to £8b/yr by 2030. Zonal energy pricing would slash this.

We’ve started tracking this (avoidable) waste live on our site: octopus.energy

No change, no innovation, just more of the same managed decline.

Shameless

🧵 @jcbslide.bsky.social 's reply reflects a common but crucial misunderstanding: that democracy simply is civil liberties and fair procedures. But rights alone don’t guarantee democratic legitimacy. What matters is whether the public can meaningfully participate in truth, power, and accountability.

They're in complete paralysis. Not prepared to compromise on self imposed red lines, and not prepared to raise taxes.

This country is morally bankrupt. More interested in unpleasant words than innocent people getting blown to pieces. What an utter toilet it has become.

Last week I was at #Scarborough Open Air Theatre to see the magnificent @shedsevenofficial.bsky.social. What a gig.

Here's my review for @on-magazine.bsky.social

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Sir Jon Cunliffe: put public ownership back on the table! From day one, the government’s “largest review of the water sector since privatisation” - a.k.a the Cunliffe Review - has ruled out the solution that 82% of the British public want: public ownership. ...

The Govt’s “largest review of the water sector since privatisation” ruled out public ownership - a solution 82% of us support - before even starting.
This review is a sham - but we still have a chance to be heard. Sign @labourlewis.bsky.social’s open letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

Labour trying to suck up to the rightwing vote reminds me of that old letter in Viz: “What’s the point of soft porn? People who don’t like porn don’t like it and people who like porn don’t like it either.”

Pope Francis Appears 40 Years Younger After Finally Masturbating For First Time

Journalists quite often get emails written in exactly this style, often sent to scores of recipients on multiple publications, and the sadly reliable assumption is that the irate sender is miserable, paranoid and probably unwell.

Excellent progress and well done on getting started, that's always the biggest challenge 💪
