The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Fans should not be paying the price for the historic bad decisions of ownership/management and the Glazers' debt interest. We have always supported lawful protest for fans who are prepared to get off their backsides and walk the walk and we believe that's most effective when we talk the talk too.

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

What we are witnessing is the normalisation of extremism. If we allow the right to pretend that the German AFD is just another conservative party... or that Donald Trump is just another president... or that Elon Musk was just getting carried away with that salute are on a distinctly dangerous path.

In other news the OBR report the government keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the potential economic performance of the country at a time when every penny counts www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/01...

England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions. Private firms own 83% of homes. Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child. For-profit homes provide the worse care. End privatisation scam. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

"We need to start understanding that Elon Musk’s X is a weapon, currently owned by a non-state entity. But from January 20 that changes. At that point it must be understood as information warfare from a hostile nation state." @carolecadwalla.bsky.social as usually one step ahead of most of us.

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and wanting to rejoin the SM, CU and/or the EU as a whole. I fail to see why we should be bullied by a right wing media, minority of the population and cowardly government. I want a government with balls not excuses.

WASHINGTON POST EDITOR: “All right, everyone, we need a euphemism for ARMED REBELLION—and we need it stat. The Big Guy’ll be pissed if we call what a man whose Inauguration he just gave a million to did in 2021 ARMED REBELLION. Obviously SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY is right out. So come on, people, ideas!”

So, the Tory manifesto did not include an inquiry into grooming gangs and the Tories ignored ALL recommendations from the 2022 report, but they attack Starmer for smearing “those concerned” as “far right”. Which he didn’t. They’re just the most repulsive bunch of arseholes. And far right apologists.

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.
