He has a long history of traitorous behaviour
It seems like an odd choice for Trump to pay tribute to Epstein with an official military flyover. But pedos stick together, I suppose. #EpsteinFlyover
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
For any recruiters who thinks this is a sound strategy... years ago, I was looking for a role due to redundancy and shadow job posting really annoyed me. I made a block list of these companies who I never use as an employer. It's a deceitful thing to do and you won't get our business
Just need to start locking up the Nazis.
That’s a very depressing - but probably very true - consideration. The angry, polarizing and lonely world of social media has made things far worse for those in the public eye.
I am too. But having been an active member of the UK Green Party, there are a lot of weirdos in it and they are all lovely but they all seem to be focused on student politics rather than system strategy and policies. They are all still there.
50s and same
See @uklabour.bsky.social it's really this simple
Seriously this is a good thing...I have been despairing of the Green's superpower ability to remain irrelevant in the face of a climate emergency. Bring it on.
I hope that he doesn't throw asylum seekers under the bus like every other populist politician...
Happy Labor Day! For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation. Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.
Please make it stop it’s so embarrassing.
And then there's this... bsky.app/profile/jame...
Sadly you're wrong. That's not how the maths works.
Wow. I would not have expected Labour of all parties to punch down.
Just beautiful
There are a bunch of racist / xenophobic voters who will support Reform because they echo their prejudices. There are also a large number of 'Smash the System' voters who are quite uninformed / uneducated/ unskilled, don't see their lives improving and don't think the mainstream parties will help.
This happened to my wife. Made redundant 3 years ago, then hastily re-hired on a rolling contract at 3x her salary because of specialist mission-critical skills.
I am extremely fond of the person who got me to do this and it is a very good cause so I will do as she asks and promote it on social media even though: a) this picture is about 10 years old and b) I can't remember anything that happened. Come anyway! We'll make some stuff up!!
One more try at getting info out there. Some reasons why asylum seekers come to the UK. Most actually don't, & remain in neighbouring countries. And for Brexiteers, you wanted independent control of our own borders, so why do you still expect France to do the job for us. We've left, get over it
In these days of AI, gotta ask!
Is this real?
Indeed
She is a terrible person who has caused trauma to children up and down the country
What the bloody hell is that culture-war triggering idiot doing now
The estimate that Brexit is costing £40bn off tax revenue is shocking, but its impact has been far worse: we've lost opportunities for our young, int'l respect & influence, empathy for those less fortunate. Starmer & Reeves cowardice has a price, & we're paying it observer.co.uk/news/busines...
Next weeks we will see HUNDREDS of records brutalized in which will be the most anomalous heat wave ever seen anywhere in the tropics. World climatic history will be totally rewritten anew with weeks of insane and unprecedented heat in the whole area. 40C+ EVERY DAY. even in the highlands
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
The ECHR was NOT used against anyone in Epping.
How do you know Farage is lying again? His lips are moving
Thanks. Emailed.
Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...
Tell us something we didn't know already
So I don't think they will call an early election, because they're not decisive enough to roll the dice... they will plod on hoping to turn things around.
Erm... sadly even a stopped clock may be (somewhat) right on occasion. The debt crisis point is reality. It was always going to be a really challenging task, to undo the damage caused by Truss/Kwarteng, even without being hamstrung by Brexit
Time - tested approach 🤣
Thing is. I think he was actually being complimentary about refugees in general, and highlighted their contribution to society, But then he proceeded to parrot rightwing falsehoods about the current situation, which should worry us as he believes them to be true. Shows how falsehoods propagate.
What fresh hell is this? This would be the end of the beginning, and the beginning of the end for the USA

🐍 Now Farage wants us to leave the ECHR and deport 500k people - promising it'll be brilliant for Britain. Fool me once, etc. Don't be the sucker who falls for this snake-oil salesman's lies! 5/5 #Farage #ECHR #NotFallingForItAgain
🎪 We saved £80bn in EU fees but lost £600bn-£1tn in growth. It's like selling your car to save on petrol, then spending 10x more on taxis. But somehow even stupider. 4/5 #BrexitReality #UKPolitics
💀 Brexit has cost us £600bn-£1TRILLION since 2016. That's £9k-£15k stolen from every person in the UK. But hey, at least we "saved" £9bn/year on EU fees! What a bargain! 3/5 #BrexitDisaster #CostOfBrexit
📈 I looked at economic studies comparing what happened vs staying in the EU. Turns out Brexit knocked 3-6% off our GDP. That sounds boring until you realize what that actually means... 2/5 #BrexitReality #UKEconomy
🤡 So remember when Farage said Brexit would save us £13bn/year and give us a "dividend" to spend on Britain? I'm a data guy so I pulled together some analysis on what it actually cost us. It's not good news for Nigel... 1/5 #Brexit #Farage #UKPolitics
Rylan Clark claims the asylum seekers get iPads, NHS at reception & luxury perks. ✅ Reality: • Hotels are temporary, not luxury • Phones sometimes given by charities • No NHS desk in lobbies • £9.95 a week if meals provided Spreading scare stories fuels hate, not truth. #FactCheck

This is an excellent blogpost by the way. But arguably we need people to spoon-feed the talking points to mainstream politicians because they are too distracted and /or scared to counter reform.
Because, clearly their strategists are inept, or their leaders are panicking, or both. Let's get loud, punchy, bold... let's explain things in terms which cut through the noise. Don't forget, almost everyone is too busy to read long and nuanced analysis.
I agree with you. Having been a member of both parties and engaged with them during elections since the Brexit referendum, I truly despair at their inability to connect with the electorate (esp the Greens).
Respectfully, I think that we need to take the 'it won't work' message, shape it into terms which resonate, and ram it across all media so that politicians can then pick up the talking points. bsky.app/profile/tipp...
Or trying to re-incarcerate Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other American citizens
Or picking up litter in DC
Allegedly, they were all busy removing Trump's name from the Epstein files
Trump. On the side of a burning planet. Not on the side of humanity.
THE CHOICE IS CLEAR: ❌ £10bn for mass deportation, isolation from allies, deals with dictators ✅ £10bn for hospitals, schools, clean energy, jobs that benefit EVERYONE What kind of country we want to be? What would you choose? #UKFuture #NHS #Investment
OR we could invest in: - 200 new schools - University fee cuts for students - Massive green energy expansion - Infrastructure that actually builds Britain up - Programs that create jobs & opportunity Instead of spending billions to tear families apart.
WHAT £10 BILLION COULD BUY INSTEAD: For the NHS: - 108 new hospitals across Britain - 50,000 additional nurses - 15,000 more doctors - Eliminate the entire £6.6bn NHS deficit + £3.4bn for improvements - Transform digital healthcare nationwide
THE PRICE TAG: £10 BILLION over 5 years - £2-3bn: Daily charter flights & operations - £2-3bn: Detention center construction - £2bn: Payments to countries taking deportees - £1-2bn: Legal & admin costs - £1bn: Security & enforcement That’s £2 billion per year. Every year. For 5 years.
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, UK would have to: - Leave the ECHR - Scrap the Human Rights Act - Withdraw from 70+ years of international treaties - Build mass detention centres - Strike deals with Afghanistan + authoritarian regimes This isn’t policy - it’s dismantling Britain’s place in the civilized world.
THREAD: What Farage’s deportation plan actually means for Britain The numbers are staggering. 600,000 asylum seekers targeted for removal over 5 years. That’s 5 RAF charter flights leaving the UK EVERY SINGLE DAY. But the real cost isn’t just financial… #UKPolitics #Thread
To avoid this future, remove Trump and stop Farage
This just goes to show the public support for the CDC
There are some people who embrace it (see the flag painting vandals!) as it gives them permission to be their hateful selves. But there are plenty of others who are in economic pain (due to Brexit!) and just want someone to fix stuff, and are also uninformed enough to think Farage is that someone!
They call it patriotism. But selling Britain’s future to billionaires, trashing our children’s planet, and taking Trump’s line word-for-word? That’s not patriotism. That’s surrender. 🚨 #ClimateAction #ReformUK #FutureGenerations
Reform’s “energy plan” = scrap green investment, keep us hooked on fossil fuels. Translation: higher bills for you, higher profits for oil barons. Farage is their salesman, not your champion. 🐍 #BigOil #NetZero #DontBeFooled
Farage isn’t standing up for Britain. He’s standing in for Trump, big oil & billionaire backers. They get the profits. We get the floods, fires & rising bills. 🔥 #Farage #ReformUK #ClimateCrisis #ukpolitics
Farage loves to pose as the voice of the people. But his policies would leave the people poorer, weaker, and more divided—while he cashes the cheques. 💸 #ReformUK #Farage #DontBeFooled
Reform’s “solutions” would slash investment, choke off skills, and isolate Britain. Translation: fewer workers, less growth, more poverty. Populism might win claps on GB News, but it won’t pay your bills. #Economy #BritishValues #ukpolitics
Nigel Farage’s politics: shout “immigration crisis” while ignoring that immigration is actually falling. 📉 When the facts don’t fit the story, he just sells you the story anyway. #ReformUK #Farage #ukpolitics
Leaving the ECHR to deport asylum seekers is like burning down your house because you don’t like the wallpaper. Farage isn’t protecting Britain. He’s weakening it. #ECHR #HumanRights #ukpolitics
The ECHR isn’t a “foreign court.” 🇬🇧 Churchill backed it. Britain wrote it. We signed it first. It protects your rights: fair trial, free speech, privacy, family life. #BritishValues #DefendDemocracy #ECHR
Farage wants to ditch the ECHR. Translation: “Let’s scrap Britain’s own invention that stops the state from torturing you, locking you up unlawfully, or silencing you.” #ECHR #ukpolitics #DontLetThemEraseYourRights
I can't bring myself to hit the Like button on this. Tipping points are real. We have known about them for decades. And our models inevitably tend to ignore them or minimise them because hell lies on the other side.
Sorry... I meant electric cars which are powered by renewable / solar energy. Not on-vehicle panels
Look, just saying, as an immigrant to the UK, it is entirely possible to be concerned about immigration, while also not blaming desperate asylum seekers and those who were invited due to a skills shortage and threatening mass deportation or murder.
Farage's proposals will destroy your pension. 1985 4 workers to pay for one pensioner 2025 3.2 workers to pay for one pensioner 2050 2 workers to pay for one pensioner immigration enables your pension to be paid
Haha this is shitposting at its best
And yes I know this isn't meant to exonerate the creators of these virtual companions. They are trying to beat everyone else to the killer app, in this case it's addictive feedback loops driving engagement.
This is terrible. Also completely preventable, please use parental controls eg screen time to prevent installation of apps you don't want your kid accessing. Also don't give smartphones to kids under 16
Don't fall for the fossil fuel company tricks. Solar powered electric cars are the only way to go
There. It. Is: "Renewables might now be cheaper than fossil fuel in the vast majority of cases, but this makes them less attractive to capital, not more. Fossil fuels are uncompetitive and highly profitable. Renewables are highly competitive and not very profitable."
Sorry to hear this.
Do you know, I think Starmer must be starting to empathise with Cameron. Let's just hope he doesn't do something stupid like call a referendum on the ECHR
It's not a for loop. So this is a crappy line.
Thank you !
Where are the black panthers when you need them
Fascist?
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
