Never any focus on the structural and pervasive wrongs committed up and down the country by Farmers. Instead we’re dished up a never ending diatribe about how unfair it is they have to pay a tiny amount of inheritance tax. Despite the brochure Britain is not a just and equal society. Like, at all.

Measles is particularly bad because not only is it deadly and highly contagious itself, it seems to wipe your bodies immunity ‘history’. So suddenly you can catch EVERYTHING again. People who survive are extremely susceptible to death by something else shortly after www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

Trump's stitch-up with Putin has made it clear: we are living in a new and dangerous world. We must respond. To protect against Russia and provide the leadership which Europe needs, we must increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP as soon as possible.
