If you can last, this is really good. Firstly it’s all googles fault. Chasing of clicks and money = more bad content driving Trump Secondly Ai could kill the internet if content is not protected. (Ignore that he has the solution), and kill it very quickly youtu.be/H5C9EL3C82Y?...

Personally I think he, and his power grabbing mates, should be locked up for the damage they did. But no, it’s not jail. Rather Daniel Hannan now sits in the House of Lords as Baron Hannan of Kingsclere. Proving that right now, lying in public pays. 😢

Don’t forget what they said £350m a week for NHS A lie Frictionless trade and global deals Almost zero deals Take control of our borders Record migration But the lies worked while Project Fear is real GDP, Trade, Investment all down Food prices up Fishing, farming declining Reform are liars

Rather than doing serious vice president type things, he’s trolling those that support democracy.

If only Brexit was a blip 😔

Another year, another war. Shame democracy has died and no one around to challenge its legality!

Yet the same voters who admit it’s been a disaster will still vote Farage (if polls are correct) Brexit was never rational, but why? It’s a form of self-harm. People are in so deep that they think if I vote Farage he’ll give me what he promised last time 😞 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

As we’ve all been saying for months, nationalisation is 100% inevitable. The market does not work on one of life’s essentials. What is not enviable is the constant delay. Nationalise now, Investors to lose everything, If law broken, arrest, charge & jail. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“biblically we are commanded to support Israel” Ted Cruz Insanity of course, but incredibly dangerous to have religious fanatics, who actually want Armageddon, helping to create foreign policy in the states www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/cnn-...

And the World Cup is going to be played there. 😞 My gut tells me we are going to see boycotts from players and maybe countries www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

Ai should be of benefit to the world But new jobs need to be created to offset the millions it will replace We should fear that the largest employers will use Ai to enhance profits for the few, while making the many unemployed What do you think Bezos will do? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thames water debacle continues Now investors want Starmer to intervene but to save them, not UK water 😂 He 100% should intervene and nationalise this bankcrupt business. But when private companies go bust, investors usually lose everything. Get on with it www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Good to see

Fascism at work and growing in confidence www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Drought declared in the UK, a notoriously wet country For those not in the UK, our water is run as a corrupt profit making monopoly No new dams in 30 years, unrelenting sewage leaks, huge bonus’s for failure Water, like health, is a human right Nationalise now www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It struck me yesterday that Trump’s appointees look like evil versions of the eternally delightful Guy Goma whenever they appear on TV & now I can’t stop seeing it. youtu.be/e6Y2uQn_wvc

Time to break up bigtech? It’s time to break up the big tech bros companies. They stop innovation, Pay hardly any taxes, and are increasingly politically aligned to the worst of the far right. UK needs to pressure the EU and petition the DOJ. Make it happen, everyone will be better off

Seems the democrats at last have someone to rally around in the usa’s fight against dictatorship time.com/7293071/gavi...

Very nice for pensioners who don’t need it but what about the millions of people who aren’t pensioners who do? This is politics at its worst. U-turns for whoever votes for me on frankly shite policy Why not tackle energy prices by nationalising it and reducing the cost for everyone.

Nationalising water (and all utilities) , is inevitable. You simply cannot have the market operate a natural monopoly. It does not work and has been proven to not work. Energy the same. I just wish Labour had a plan / vision / hope, when they were elected. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As if they’ve not done enough damage by giving him/them a constant platform’, & their inability to counter his lies. Just think Brexit Dir Gen Tim Davie & other execs discussed altering BBC “story selection” in order to secure “trust” of supporters of Nigel Farage’s party @adambienkov.bsky.social

Giving money to pensioners (many of who can afford it), is not the answer to fuel poverty. We need lower energy prices, so people can afford to keep warm, business can be competitive and real growth can happen. Nationalise all utilities and deliver lower prices for everyone

"The film depicts Britain as an isolated, crippled rock devoid of decent human life and populated only by the deranged — but more on Brexit later." 😂 ~AA www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

The trouble is, the more she normalises the message, the people and the party, the more normal their rhetoric will appear. The BBC again in the search for “impartiality” is promoting extremism.

This is one reason why Reform grows. Relentless and positive coverage from the BBC usually in the name of impartiality (Although difficult to spin this as impartial) My take on this by-election was that Reform lost and Labour overturned an SNP majority www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Paramilitary forces being deployed in the states. A summer of unrest seems likely

The longer this shambles continues, the more it will cost us. Starmer needs to stop burying his head in the sand (or effluent), and nationalise now. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I’m not one for going down conspiracy theories, but this “dark enlightenment” theory with Vance being crowned monarch by Musk and other tech bros just keeps getting traction www.thedailybeast.com/the-dark-mag...

Tesla is done. Other than not producing any new cars for years, its brand is now totally toxic. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

The world has sunk. The leader of the free world is directly linked by the worlds richest man with the worlds most notorious convicted pedo Trump / Musk / Epstein

Basically he’s seen the light. Farage is a racist, reform is a one party trick. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Watch Vance! Musk will still use money to influence politics and he’ll put it behind Vance. The Dark Enlightenment www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Has anyone told Labour?

Better with EU

This is a long read. But for those that don’t know what “philosophy” is driving much of the move to fascism, it’s worth some time. Curtis Yarvin and his belief that democracy has failed, has followers in the White House. The links to Musk and Thiel are undeniable www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Starmer yet again avoids closer ties with Europe, this time on defence "Everything we do will add to the strength of NATO", meaning the UK's defence policy will "always be NATO-first" That works if the USA is onside, but it’s not thanks to Trump. We need a “Europe First” defence plan
