This should be happening EVERYWHERE!

Over the past 16 years before taking office, Elon Musk's business deals with US government total nearly $20 billion Virtually all of his net worth comes from US gov. Tesla + SpaceX got started & survived with assistance from state + federal policies, contracts & loans edition.cnn.com/2024/11/20/b...

This is fascism.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social talking about Tuppence Middleton’s book about OCD .. I saw her in The Motive and the Cue ( twice!) last year and can only marvel at the strength and mental effort required to turn out a flawless performance day in day out whilst dealing with this debilitating condition.

Just a tinsy winsy bit treasonous

This one weird trick could save the American people $8 million a day in perpetuity: cancel all government contracts with Elon Musk

What's good enough for Trump........

Every day. Another nugget of stupid. Another aggressive spasm. It will be impossible to deal with this pinballing menace alone. We need to be working with our neighbours and allies to resist this orange wrecking ball. The teeny tiny Brexit mindset has never looked more idiotic or ruinous.

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years. As an aide-mémoire for next time.

Dorothy (ex FRS) seems to have more moral courage than the “esteemed” society from which she resigned…

Musk: “If the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?” An unelected billionaire who is illegally dismantling structures of state to shield his businesses from scrutiny & enrich himself is lecturing people on democracy. A plague on all those who aided this.

Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.  Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect

Just on catch up with this and am crying at the call to Farage

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy. In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

Love this

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day xx

It's astonishing how blind the British political establishment remains to the richest man in the world backing every neo-nazi cause around, including here

Still, at least we live in a country where people who went to prison for assaulting their girlfriend can become Reform Party Members of Parliament.

Not only did he mislead, he was never challenged, and hasn’t been held accountable
