The latest from Just Stop Oil HQ… From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Any ideas that haven’t been stolen? Didn’t think so. Even the name Reform is taken from a 1990s Canadian right wing party - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_...

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Stonking track! #newmusic

If some people are ‘undocumented’ and they’re working jobs and paying taxes, why don’t you, y’know, maybe give them some documents?

This is the take 👇👇👇

I can get behind this.

“Hey, Nat? It’s your cousin, Marvin! Marvin Rifle Association! You know that tyranny you’ve been arming against? Well, listen to THIS!”

The question of our times answered: Where did Pat Butcher go?

Here’s an example of when can be achieved with clear progressive policies. 👏👏👏 If politicians in the UK stand their ground instead of trying to please a handful of Red Wall voters (who will never vote for them anyway) things could be much better. #brexit #ukpolitics

Absolutely beautiful piece of music by amazing Scottish artist Erland Cooper - ‘Birds of Paradise’ - starts at 2:06. Perfect to distract you from the badness #classical #music #scotland www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

ICYMI: The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is proposing the salary of MPs rises by 2.8% for the next financial year. So it would go from roughly £91,300 to £93,900. IPSA says: "The proposal is in line with government pay recommendations for public sector workers"

Rant alert! The press treating Trump 2.0 as a huge sea change in the world of politics is complete bollox. The truth is the 2024 US election happened under really, REALLY weird circumstances 🧵 1/n

We should call it ‘tech-fascism’.

So, Labour are essentially treating Reform like the official opposition now? The more you feed the trolls the bigger they get.

ChatGPT: YES = True.

A modern political commandment is surely ‘Thou shalt never out-Farage a Farage’. Labour need to do MUCH better - instead of dragging policy to the right, give the UK positive alternatives (that will actually make things better) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good news! The Rwanda scheme was almost as stupid as Braverman/Farage saying we should leave the ECHR (oh yeah, they’re still doing that).

‘Chasing the right’ is not a sensible thing to do. Labour need to start being far more forceful and optimistic in selling the EU reset. They are being unacceptably pants.

This is generally the best way to deal with facile bullies.

We need more coverage like this emphasising the actual position of the UK people. The media needs to do a FAR better job of challenging Farage et al on and off air. #brexit

I’ll just leave this here…

This is brilliant. A declassified World War II guide for citizen saboteurs on how to fight fascism is going viral www.404media.co/declassified...

Nearly spat my coffee out. Hooray for @privateeyenews.bsky.social!

I’m going to try to post every book I read this year (in one thread) mainly so I can make myself feel like I’ve achieved something in 2025. First: Arcadia by Lauren Groff. A book of two halves: failed hippy utopia / near-future family drama. 3* #booksky #books
