1. Trump and his Death Eaters cannot tolerate any rival power. Europe, when united, is a major trading and diplomatic bloc. They see Russia (much less of a threat to US hegemony) as an excellent instrument for breaking up Europe, by threat or by force.🧵

🧵 There are legitimate points to be made on the threshold and level of inheritance tax relief for farms and decent campaigns making them. Farmers to Action does not seem to me to be one such campaign. Everything about them rings alarm bells. Not least of which their association with #together. 1/3

One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires. He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

"We’ve been fighting this for 10 years. We’re going to expose the entire corruption of the American system, how money controls everything”. Twats fighting in a sack: The Mueller report revealed he knew about Trump and Russia. If he gets rid of Musk the cognitive dissonance will make me implode.

Feels like 'dishonest reporting' is an understatement here. It's downright misreporting to be so declarative about a view held by less than one in three respondents, especially when - I presume - it's not even the plurality response. Similarly poor for the BBC to then credulously repeat it.

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world than a reflection of our growing ignorance. Embracing that truth is leading to a rethink of everything
