Tony Blair is literally being paid by a man with one of the highest carbon footprints on the planet - Larry Ellison. The founder of Oracle is his biggest funder & these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

📣 Kneecap statement repost from X:

The language of being 'economically inactive' used by Labour belies where the real 'inaction' resides, which is is for Reeves and Starmer to stop their bullshit and tax the fucking wealth hoarders. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Russia’s long-range strikes, by cruise missiles that are among the most costly weapons in its nonnuclear arsenal, are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies" From Graeme Wood www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

@billbrowder.bsky.social talking sense as always. Sounds like European Foreign Ministers largely agree with him on Russia's frozen assets. Give them to Ukraine. All of them. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk youtu.be/Z_xV1nf44RA?...

Space Karen is getting caught up in his own web of lies and misinformation.. #elonnusk www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It’s a club and we aren’t in it

Tax wealth, not work #PoliticsLive

Always got some clear explanations of what’s going on!! @garyseconomics.bsky.social

Beyond. Parody.

This is officially one of the most idiotic things Labour could do. Playing to Reform emboldens Reform. You can't out anti-immigration them. Labour has both the majority and time to implement policies which actually benefit people, and put the case for immigration. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tesla Sales Plunge 63% in EU’s Second-Biggest EV Market www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Not sure how the US and the world deal with this bigoted menace. Trump is a viciously vain and inadequate man who is incapable of even basic decency. This attack on DEI is an attack on all of us, on respect for each other and on our rights. It’s been echoed here by Reform and the Tories. It’s evil.

The world’s richest man is promoting the far right in Europe. Don’t buy a Tesla . Location: Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjWl...

Thank the lord for Private Eye

Um. What did I just watch?

At the same time as peddling Hilter’s girlfriend’s diary…

“Report by Jack Smith says evidence ‘was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction’ had Trump not won re-election in 2024” - or had Garland not dragged his feet on this whole thing!!

Private schools are the paedophile rings that the Tories are fighting to save.

BBC Verify has examined a 24 hour snapshot of Elon Musks timeline and found a wave of misinformation amplified in the posts. The BBC's Analysis editor examines one day on the platform for the owner of X www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

“Put simply, private hospitals are unable to deliver any operations without using NHS consultant surgeons or anaesthetists,” it said. “Letting NHS consultants do the easy work in the private sector starves the NHS of both staff and income.” www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

In other news Britain’s growth, productivity and living standards continue to be weighed down by the structural handicap of Brexit - and sticking our heads in the sand isn’t going to make it go away www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reasons given for Boris Johnson peerages ‘inadequate’, campaigner says

Yet more malevolent forces from the world’s richest men. Who’d have thought the supervillains were actually gonna be tech geeks!!? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Pffftt.. *spits out tea* www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Says it all…

This is unutterably stupid. Political donations should have been reformed YEARS ago. We don't want a knee-jerk "stop-Farage" law; we just want a democracy that isn't a corruptible plaything of the rich, whether it's Lord Sainsbury, Frank Hester or Elon Musk. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This should concern everyone. The Prime Minister urgently needs to close any loophole’s that might allow foreign billionaires like Elon Musk to bankroll British political parties

Hot Type: The Cult of the Billionaire In my latest column for @bylinetimes.bsky.social, I write that instead of glorifying hoarders of vast un-spendable wealth, the world must finally wake up to the huge damage they are doing. 1/🧵 www.bylinesupplement.com/p/hot-type-t...

The Government seeing sense on Zero Tolerance behaviour policies at last???? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

When will we wake up to the harm social media is inflicting on our kids, all in the name of selling some advertising space. Instagram actively helping to spread of self-harm among teenagers.. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is terrifying. Donald Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be the new head of the FBI. Patel, like Trump, wants to purge the service & prosecute journalists who helped Joe Biden ‘rig’ the 2020 election. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/u...

A message to Europe: "We are not only fighting against Ivanishvili - we are fighting against the hybrid war unleashed by Russia. They are investing enormous amounts of money. They’re spreading disinformation. Help us!” - Giorgi Vashadze, an opposition leader. #georgiaprotest
