If Ministers really do 'resist calls' to block Musk & his ilk from making political donations, they are complacent idiots. Capping donations is supported by Labour's new anti-corruption tsar Margaret Hodge, the Electoral Commission, & 56% of the public: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling” Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

“wealthy billionaires and corporations… hoard land as an asset, Britain now having among the highest concentrations of land ownership in the world. Half of England is owned by less than 1% of its population.”

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do; Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one. John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

In case you needed validation for WHY you stopped watching MSNBC during the day (or completely), they have a conga line of pundit idiots saying President Biden looks corrupt for pardoning his son -- instead of leaving him vulnerable to convicted felon trump's retribution thugs. DO. NOT. WATCH.

Thou shalt not accuse others of being criminals when you just made a criminal the commander in chief. Thou shalt stop being a gigantic hypocrite every second of thy life.

Been having fun this morning with some of the idiots, that have replied to a Tweet I posted on the other place about the ‘petition’, which seems to be doing some numbers. They really don’t like me pointing out the variety of places where people have supposedly signed it! 😂

Imagine spending all that time wanging on about sovereignty, only to be prepared to sacrifice it on the altar of Trump and Musk. Kidding yourself they’ll give us special treatment while they actively try to undermine our govt and stir up social tension here. Such dangerous stupidity.

Nothing to worry about folks, the whale decapitating, dead bear depositing, baby sitter sexually harassing, raw milk drinking, anti-vaxxing future head of Health and Human Services says doing heroin made him a better student. This is fine. This is totally fine. Everything is absolutely fucking fi…

Back on the other place 'call a general election now' is trending, promoted by the same people who responded to calls for a second Brexit referendum by saying "it was the will of the people, move on".

Yup - that’s exactly what I said. Brexit used to be about the EU versus tales of ‘freedom’. Brexit happened and failed. Now Brexit has taken a desperate final form - Trump. In him Brexiteers see salvation of their dead project. But at least it’s now clear. The UK must choose Trump or the EU.

Inevitably the same people who lost their shit over Starmer receiving a free concert ticket are now losing their minds because he turned down free membership of a golf course.

@johannasaunders.bsky.social Great to see you here! It’s so good that all my Twitter pals who kept me there longer than I wanted to be there, are all moving here! I love this mass rejection of Musk! 😂
