Margaret Thatcher did not sell the privatised national companies to the Public She sold ALL the controlling shares to her billionaire friends first and only sold shares with no control to the Public Even if you'd bought EVERY British Gas share you would've had NO control at all

Sounds like a plan @patmillsuk.bsky.social 👏

I doubt Kemi Badenoch came against net zero because of donor money. I suspect she did it because she's an irresponsible ignorant reactionary fool.

It's continuing.

RFK Jr should be renamed Spreaddie Kruger he’s going to murder so many innocent people… and animals Mind bending idiocy borne out of a suspiciously highly monetised ideology cheered on by the terminally short of logic and reason

The Tesla boycott is one of the only things making us smile these days. And it’s working. How do you feel about it?

The European Union will impose counter tariffs on $28 billion worth of US goods from next month, the European Commission said, ramping up a global trade war in response to blanket US tariffs on steel and aluminum reut.rs/3DCiljA

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

What do you get when you ask Twitters #Grok the below question? Who are the 3 people doing the most harm to America right now? Just list the names in order nothing else.

Vance comes to Munich and lectures Europe on free speech but fails to mention Russia, where free speech gets people murdered. What should have been an important address about conflict is used to push an agenda to Europe's far right. Nobody should trust a word said by his administration.

Why is there a witch hunt against Rachel Reeves? Rishi Sunak who was also Chancellor literally made his fortune in the financial crash at everyone's expense 🤷‍♂️ Inflating small indiscretions beyond all measure of proportion, that's toxic Is this really the type of society we want to live in?

Really robust and no-nonsense from Starmer.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f... I agree with President Macron. Reward Putin with capitulation and no country in the region will be safe.

Gangsters. The US government is no ally of Europe. We should fight Russia off ourselves and give the US nothing.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former head of NATO, say to President Donald Trump, "Appeasement with dictators does not lead to peace" "Don't let Putin defeat you"

US Vice President J D Vance attacked Europe yesterday. His charge was, in essence, that we are not as fascist as he would like. The political battle lines have been drawn. We have to now stand up and fight against the tyranny he and Trump are unleashing. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

www.newstatesman.com/politics/edu... I would move Heaven and Earth NOT to have any child of mine go to a school run by Katherine Birbalsingh. For all our children’s sake and for the of education in this country, I hope @bphillipson.bsky.social wins this argument.

x.com/leonleonmi3/... He has his critics but you get what you see and that’s straight talking. Brexit has been a disaster!

The only way this could have gone worse for her was if she'd said Maxwell's Silver Hammer

“Our Plan for Change is about putting more pounds in people’s pockets. That can only happen if we go further & faster in kick starting the economy and removing the barriers to growth” Chancellor Rachel Reeves In other news we must apparently keep “Brexit red lines” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

‘Alien versus Predator’ No shock to see recently and globally embarrassingly shunned turbocunt Nigel Farage fawning over yet another rapist with an IQ you could tally up on your extremities and still have change left over 👋 🦶
