The enshittification of televisions continues apace, in case you're wondering why the initial cost of them is so cheap these days.

If you suggest a CEO should take an £8K pay cut, they will call you a communist. If you suggest a binman should *not* take an £8K pay cut, they will also call you a communist. Make it make sense 🤷‍♂️

The pro-privatisation healthcare lobby claim “the NHS hasn’t been privatised” by pointing out that it still exists. What a load of nonsense - the NHS logo was carefully and cleverly branded in the 1990s and is now added to letterheads and buildings of privatised services. …

The house always wins

Eureka! It’s a new series of #Taskmaster! Your five volatile elements are Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey and Stevie Martin - plus, of course, a compound of Daviesium and Horneium. Thursday 1st May at 9pm on Channel 4. 🧪

The replies to this are glorious

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

if you disagree with these two, even politely, they will either try to get you fired from your job (in the case of Helen Lewis) or accuse you of bullying them into self-harm (Emma Burnell). I've seen the latter and personally been an attempted victim of the former

Starmer's fake Labour party is trying to unleash this evil greed and barbarism on the British people.

Yes its true it was all there for those who bothered to read it. But I AM shocked at how fast the US system has crumbled, especially the legal system which has offered very little in the way of pushback

Absolutely agree with you 100%. We DONT want their shitty trade deal with nazi conditions. Much more sensible to rejoin europe bc THEIR conditions are FOR people and democracy not against like the now authoritarian US

Palantir is the very last organisation to trust with our data, any data, let alone our priceless unique NHS data. And Streeting is actually tossing £300 million of our money to Palantir. It's bad enough that Starmer's complicit in the Israeli genocide, sending the RAF in to help Israeli bombers.

Money flows to/from tax havens like the Caymans should be blocked across the board.

A shocking failure of government. The question is, will the guilty be held accountable? Or will they evade justice as the current bunch try to draw a veil over things to appease their backers...

"Oh, God! Oh, Jesus Christ! Oh, my God! Christ! No, no, dear God! No, Christ!" - me, on seeing this.

Scared people do not spend. This is a fact of economic life. Once somebody is worried about their economic future, they begin to save, and that means Trump is heading the US and the world into a recession. youtu.be/GXRhm36h7BU?...

Support for independence in Scotland is rising rapidly. There is a UK political crisis brewing as a result. Westminster might think it has the right to rule Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland forever. It's increasingly likely that they do not agree. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

THIS!!!!!! It's funny how #Labour, and before them, the #Tories quite happily allow the rich to become richer - usually funded by us, but when the workers want a fair wage to cope with all the bill rises and cost of living the answer is no. Vote for a party who cares. Vote #Green on May 1st.

Is it worth having a trade deal with the US when the costs are: 1. repealing hate laws 2. accepting chlorinated chicken and highly medicated beef 3. accepting US private healthcare companies in NHS Just totally unacceptable conditions, ALL OF THEM! REJOIN THE EU, and accept pro-people conditions

The privatisation of Britain’s water infrastructure has been a complete disaster. We need to bring water into public ownership to end the shameful cycle of rip-off bills for customers, pollution in our waterways and obscene shareholder profiteering.

No HS2, 50% rise in bus fares, and the Great British Driver gets another treat. This is maybe the dumbest, pettiest thing I've seen yet. Why are they like this?

UK regulator to investigate Ernst & Young 2015-18 audits of the Post Office. Despite public evidence of failures, it did nothing. Now responding to pressure in parliament. Why only 2015-18? Flawed accounting system resulted in false accounts & postmaster prosecutions years before. Token inquiry?

Solidarity with the Birmingham bin strikers. There's plenty of wealth - it just needs redistributing. We should pay people who run our services properly and treat them with dignity. Solidarity. ✊🏼

At least two thirds of all hobbies are mostly about consuming alcohol.

Media, your role is to expose mechanisms of the global system and predict dangers from billionaire oligarchs and their strategists. It is not enough to chronicle events after they unfold; your duty is to expose the flaws in the system, propose remedies, and prevent calamities before they take shape.

Because I apparently hate myself, we're returning to Zombie Kamurocho to pick up some of the Substories and minigames we neglected in the main Yakuza: Dead Souls playthrough. For some reason, 7PM. twitch.tv/bitparade

🧵1/ #ElonMusk and his #DOGE script kiddies accessed NLRB systems, triggering alarms as data exports spiked. This data includes HIGHLY sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases, corporate secrets. Labor law experts stress this info never should’ve left the #NLRB. #DataBreach #Espionage

The number of ways thisis being spun, nan. I've heard three different Labour politicians, two current and one former Birmingham City council execs., and a myriad of broadcasters... ALL spin it different ways. A ploy to confuse the general public's sympathies (whoever they support).

🔴‘What Is the Point of Labour Winning the Next General Election if It Governs as Reform-Lite?’ The political strategy being pursued by Keir Starmer and his advisers means that whichever party comes first in 2029, Nigel Farage wins, argues Neal Lawson bylinetimes.com/2025/04/14/w...

Local election candidates campaigning to be reelected should be banned from stating it being "time for change" listing faults when their own party caused the mess in the first place.

"Freedom of speech" in action. The world will remember which Americans spoke out.

The right-wing threat on censorship is real www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04... Censorship is already happening in libraries and schools, and will only get worse.

Things required for human survival, like water, should never be in the hands of private parties. That is real terrorism.

Not enjoying the JD Vance piece on #r4today.. “There was a strong sense he sees Britain as something rather different from Europe, wasn’t there?” Of course. We’re much more desperate and exploitable on our own. Stop looking for a ‘special relationship’ in the fake flattery of ugly nationalists.

Labour's rebrand, using Parliamentary colours and emblems, is taking on a pace. I'm confused, though. Do I need to vote any longer, now that Parliament has representatives in our constituencies, rather than constituencies having representatives in Parliament?

Many years ago you were all warned that privatisation of services would deliver you higher bills. You chose not to listen and voted for the privatisation.

This is positive news. But c.80 MPs out of a total of 403 underlines how out of touch the majority of the party is with the needs of the electorate and the extent to which it has lost its moral compass.

Thank god we had a strong enough legal system in Britain which halted the Tories similar plan to intern immigrants in Rwanda.

I was 37 when I finally earned enough financial security to start a private pension. In the brief 5 years since, its value has plummeted on three separate occasions due to “once in a lifetime shocks”. I sure am enjoying the decade 🫠

We’re entering entirely uncharted waters here: for America, that is: enforced disappearances are routine in authoritarian countries. America is headed in a very dark direction indeed.
