Betsey Stevenson, Economics Professor at University of Michigan tears apart Trump's tariffs #C4News "We are going to consume less because prices are going to be much higher" "We're not going to bring those jobs back, we're just going to pay more for our Nikes and our shirts"

Labour's Stella Creasy rinsed the Tories for celebrating Trump's tariffs. #ukpolitics

But... But... Hilary's emails...

Hmm, say "Cory Booker" and the bots show up in your mentions to say protest is useless. Cory Booker. Cory Booker. Cory Booker.

Dear America, ...oh, forget it! #OrangeManBaby #Felon #MAGA #Trump #TrumptyDumpty

Daisy Cooper, "Everyone is saying we've got to get a deal with Trump" "America has a trade deal with Canada and Mexico" - which Donald Trump negotiated, signed and gloated about "That didn't protect neither of them getting tariffs from the US" "So we have got to look at Europe at the same time"

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Here, let's make this better, mkay!?

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

Brexit was the petri dish for all of this. Stamer should publish the Russia report that Johnson sat on.

On point bon mot.

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country. I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him. Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.

Not understanding this chart should remove one's right to vote. Not undoing what happened in 2016 should remove one's right to govern.

I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016! (fagpacket maths follows) on.ft.com/4hzyvbJ

Looks like the law of unintended consequences is going to bite the ar$e of the deal!

It is an appropriate day to deactivate Twitter / X accounts. Facebook to follow. Probably Instagram. Messenger can take a hike. Signal looks good. WhatsApp I'm keeping for now as so many of my network are on it (but I'd rather not!). Texts (SMS) and phone calls look good! #enshitification

So relentless has been Israel’s assault, and so complete the destruction in northern Gaza that a former Israeli defence minister described the military’s actions there as ‘ethnic cleansing’. Here's how the Israeli military erased a town of 200,000 people in Gaza. on.ft.com/3DTS14e

In a world full of Elon Musk wannabes, be a Matt Damon.

JRM is only on screen as he has seen what happens when, like Trump and Fuhrage, one is on the media a lot. Familiarity generates votes. Cynical. Starve him of publicity; turn off, don't watch, don't share anything about it.

Found Jeff Lynne out in the wild. #ELO

From the FT the other day. I had no idea.

I’m not going to tell anyone how to do Bluesky, but I would like to encourage the following: - Repost stuff you find interesting/entertaining - help others to find the good people to follow - repost small creatives who you like who are trying to plug their work

Leak the report. Pass it on.
