I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky. Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky. That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

Today at the Covid Inquiry, Anna Morris KC highlighted the 'chorus of denial' from those responsible for the unlawful VIP-Lane. But the evidence is clear. The VIP-Lane prioritised serving the friends of politicians over the delivery of usable PPE. The consequences were deadly.

Sometimes it’s important just to remind ourselves that this deranged lunatic wolfing down cheeseburgers while telling dangerous and absurd lies about a life saving vaccine is the man in charge of public health in America. These are harrowing times folks.

Watching, with hope, Josh Styles' legal challenge to Wirral Council (and Natural England) to the unjustifiable destruction of incredibly rare habitat at Hoylake Beach, Wirral. The roles of local councillors in creating this situation should be highlighted.

If you are wondering why Elon Musk is posting an obscenely immoral message like this one, and amplifying the words of a known Kremlinist, just see my pinned thread and it will become perfectly clear.

Tucker Carlson is now repeating unfounded allegations that weapons sent to Ukraine are ending up with groups that include Hamas. The Hamas claim originated from a fake BBC-Bellingcat video created by a Russian disinformation campaign mimicking news organisations and was debunked months ago.

This is a person who Kemi Badenoch thinks should sit in the House of Lords. The tweets start in 2009 - Young was 45 at the time. Appalling misogyny, casual homophobia... the lot

Three Wirral beaches have seen their water quality ratings downgraded after an uptick in bacteria levels linked to pollution this year. This leaves only one beach on Wirral with an excellent rating while campaigners said trends in West Kirby were worrying www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Brexit. We need clean drinking water but because of Brexit we have DECIDED not to use chemicals and processes tested in the EU, and allowed all the UK labs to close. We have taken back the control not to control.

Interesting thread. Brexit is throttling the UK economy. (I would also add in terms of productivity, the quality of skills training)

Interesting that we are now hearing from numerous Tories in the last couple of days or so that their immigration policy has failed. Brexit was supposed to be necessary to take back control of borders. It never was the solution to anything.

This from the co-owners of GB News says what many have suspected ....GB News is a political project To be an Ofcom regulated broadcaster the station is specifically not allowed to be politically biased. It can have shows which lean one way or another, but the balance must exist across a schedule.

I hope the irony of a Brexit cheerleader like Badenoch telling the CBI that "Labour doesn't listen to business" and indulges "political ideas that result in cost and red tape" is not lost on people. Does she really think she can gloss over the fact she rode that very economic vandalism to the top?

NEWS! Irony-free Brexiter who spent four years telling people 'You lost, get over it!' enthusiastically promoting petition for a new general election after four-and-a-half months

Maybe when the ‘petition for another general election 🤪’ gets to 6 million (not including bots), we could have a double referendum, put the Tories in third place in the House of Commons, lose Reform altogether and bin off Brexit too 😉

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

Today is Equal Pay Day, when women effectively stop being paid compared to their male colleagues. We would require all large and medium-size companies to carry out equal pay audits and redress any inequality uncovered. Equal pay for equal work should not be too much to ask.

Across Mountains, Land & Sea is an incredible book. The story, in his own words, of a child refugee’s journey from Afghanistan to the UK & his experiences when he arrived. So compelling & well-written. Every one of those migrants we talk about is an individual human with a story like this.❤️🙏

1000 days of illegal Russian aggression in Ukraine. Russia has attacked Kyiv alone with more than 2,500 missiles and drones. Half of the attacks took place this year. If Kyiv residents spent every hour of every alert in a shelter, they would have spent more than two months in bunkers.
