The problem with social care is private equity fat cats ripping old people off for £8000 a month. Not minimum wage immigrant workers. Tell me I'm wrong.

Too edgy for Private Eye? We recently ran the 1st of 3 ads in Private Eye magazine. But after our 1st they told us they wouldn't run any more. Did they give in to pressure from the shooting industry or another vested interest? Private Eye- too establishment for Wild Justice!

My government has a choice: stand with private equity firms raking in billions from our water - or stand with ordinary people and bring it back into public hands. The privatised water experiment has failed, everyone sees it. 82% of Brits want water back in public hands. #water #sewagecrisis

Shockingly, 10% of police officers can’t afford to pay into their pensions. Clive Lewis MP aka @labourlewis.bsky.social is pressing the government to act on pay, funding, and morale before policing reaches a breaking point.

When Govt ministers talk about the National Economy like its a household, the question is - do those ministers simply know nothing about economics or they know about economics and are just lying to the public?

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Go harder. Be more feminist, more Black, more gay, more queer. Ramp it up. Conform even less. Diversify and include with even more gusto. And do not fear. Because these are the death throes of a dying age.

Britain’s foreign policy reality has just shattered. Trump’s return, Ukraine and Atlanticism in crisis. What now? Keir Starmer has a unique chance to reset defence, rebuild the economy, and seize the moment. Will he? Chaos is a ladder. It’s time to climb. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We want a party made up of people with socialist not neoliberal, policies and principles at heart. We want a party with the balls to tax the wealthy, get corporate money out of politics, and renationalize public services, it’s not rocket science. Starmerite's are deluded.

Everything we write, every piece of film, music, art, every weighed and nuanced decision is now simply food for AI. Creativity - humanity - has become meat for machines.

Here's a thing I've just learned, though I don't recall from whomst I learned it: If you're googling something and you add -AI at the end of your query, you'll be spared the AI results.
