“Elon Musk said the British Gov’t, elected by the British people just a few months ago, should be overthrown..Elon Musk has to be held to account” Sir Ed Davey 👏

The level of democracy enjoyed by the average citizen in 2022 regressed to 1986 levels. 72 % of the world's population, 5.7 billion people, were living under authoritarian rule. It didn’t occur overnight and happened entirely by design, forcefully instigated by a powerful, rich, hard right elite.

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

Yes, he is your party’s president and leader. You have supported him in the past and you support him now. He is tangibly hurting people in Maine, and you will prattle on, act concerned, and do nothing. You will own everything he does to hurt Mainers and everyone else.

in one of the pierce brosnan bond movies the villain is a newspaper guy who wants the world in chaos bc it means more news for him to sell. I remember watching it and being like "this is impossibly dumb" but you know what, I may have been wrong on that

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

Labour MP Mike Amesbury admits street assault WTA* I (we?) just want politicians who aren't corrupted and behave like normal adults....with no conflicts of interest Too much to ask for? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Prime Minister Keir Starmer jokes at #PMQs about the cease and desist letter he got last week from Liz Truss 'She was complaining that saying she'd 'crashed the economy' was damaging her reputation - it was actually crashing the economy that damaged her reputation'

Experts say Musk's social media activity “comfortably sits within any definition of an extremist” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/counter...

This is the standard of political behaviour which the Conservative Party has embroiled itself in. This sewer of racial hatred, paranoia, lies and violent extremism. This sickening pantomime. They are forming a de facto alliance with fascist street thugs inews.co.uk/opinion/the-...

"For all the easy, cheap nonsense being peddled - changes 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 made." Andrew Norfolk confirms Keir Starmer "completely changed the rules" as DPP to help prosecute grooming gangs - directly countering Musk's claim of a coverup. @maitlis.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com

Dear World, We’re sorry. Sincerely, Sane, Decent Americans

The blame here apportioned to politicians is deserved but also displacement. The fault equally lies within some of the fishing lobby groups, which campaigned for the hardest possible exit against all evidence. Hard to think of an industry that looked after its own interests so poorly.

This notion that you should hang around on a platform *strategically* because some audience you need to reach (as an organisation, politician etc.) is there... really, FORGET IT Could you balance Musk's absurdities on X? NO Can you do the same versus Zuckerberg? HELL NO So get the hell away

The United States is so broken and damaged, it has elected a CRIMINAL as its next president. What a horrible county.
