Where is the outcry? White nationalists preparing for a race war #race #nazi youtu.be/dXC9OO8Bhmg?...

Bored of all the #trump nonsense. Tomorrow we're meeting with some of the pioneers who fought to overturn the racist bar on hiring black and asian workers on the buses in Bristol in 1963 helping to pave the way for the 1965 race relations act. #joinaunion #unite

"To deal with Trump, the UK has to show it's stronger and has alternatives." Ed Davey explains why he's calling for the UK to establish a new customs union with the EU

'How's that on a scale of medieval misogyny?' Ian Hislop tells Andrew Marr that Elon Musk is 'riddled with contradictions'.

A useful article by the BBC on Elon Musk and his interventions on child sexual abuse. Produced by the Verify, rather than the news arm, and currently situated fairly low down on the BBC News site... A report like this should be given prominence, considering how Musk's claims led the UK's news agenda

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... Please stop, my sides hurt! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Musk and the concept of truth aren't very familiar with each other." Andrew Norfolk denounces Musk for treating UK events as his 'plaything,' reminding people how Tommy Robinson nearly wrecked a grooming gang trial.

Did I have a fever dream, or did a foreign power broker demand the overthrow of the British government, and his majesties loyal opposition applauded?!? #musk #tories

If Labour want to get their message across on their terms, then why are they neglecting YouTube, one of the biggest, and not even having a coherent strategy on the others?

2025: Conservative leader of the op Kemi Badenoch jumps on the bandwagon to call for a national inquiry into child abuse 2023: Conservative Home Secretary Suella Braverman talks about the national inquiry into child abuse and is then eviscerated by Labour's shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper

Jemma Forte, "All the people cosying up to Musk on X saying what a wonderful idea it is that he meddles in our politics" "Having supported Brexit because they said they don't want political interference from foreign countries" "The mind just boggles" @jemmaforte.bsky.social

Trump post is a recipe for depression.

Starmer: "I think only a few months ago it would have been unthinkable for the things that have been said about Jess Philips without all political parties and the leader of the opposition to call it out in terms...to condemn it..."

Chris Hope, GB News, "Are you concerned an inquiry might expose failings of your role as DPP? And that's why Elon Musk says you were complicit in the rape of Britain" Keir Starmer, "You were covering crime for The Telegraph when I was DPP, quizzing me at the time for the entire five years"

"It cannot be allowed to stand. Behind-the-scenes diplomacy that will no doubt be underway to get Trump to yank the choke chain on Musk is not enough."

@drellac.bsky.social I'm loathe to post any material from that hellsite, or feed the troll, but have you seen how your work is being misquoted over there? Surely this is actionable?

Elon Musk says Nigel Farage 'doesn't have what it takes' to lead Reform UK. Developing story: lbc.co.uk/news/elon-musk-says-nigel-farage-doesnt-have-what-it-takes-to-lead-reform-uk

Just watching @wesstreeting.bsky.social on laura kuenssburg. I'm sorry wes, you can't ignore #musk. He and #farage are playing a completely different game and you're losing the marketing battle. Please listen to @lewisgoodall.com and his take on all this with the #newsagents before it's too late

Oh sweet, sweet Gods of schadenfreude. What mighty gifts you have bestowed upon us.

Reform MP who has been incessantly tweeting about muslim rape gangs these last few days was actually previously jailed for kicking his girlfriend. That's how much these guys care about women.

Yet another right wing terrorist, this time blowing up a #cybertruck outside a Trump hotel. I can't help but agree with some of the reported anti billionaire sentiment, but then advocates for #Trump #Musk. Another misled soul who identified some of the issues, but came to the wrong conclusion

One of the things you are taught at lawyer school is not to try and persuade your opponent: they are professionally unpersuadable. There's a lesson there for Labour, which will learn the hard way that there's no version of Musk which wants what it does (or should), however accommodating we are.

See him for the danger he poses, the ground is being re worked for another post Southport wave of violence

Correct. Under no circumstances ignore Elon Musk. It's like ignoring a fire in your home. It won't simply go away.

I’m with Harry.

One difference between the Right & Far Right the Right pretend to be guardians of Law & Order while denigrating immigrants & minorities the Far Right promotes convicted violent & sex offenders as long as they denigrate immigrants & minorities Both nurture divide & rule to safeguard billionaire power

Five months ago, I recorded a 10-minute explanation, as a former regulator, of why the UK would be not only perfectly within its rights to ban twitter, but probably ought to. Maybe now people will listen. APPLE 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q... SPOTIFY 🔊 open.spotify.com/episode/6LuN...

This old @dailymirrornews.bsky.social article gives some context to the toxic Musk/Liz Truss @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social row & shows that Tommy Robinson has long been trying to exploit the scandal. @hopenothate.org.uk @nicklowles.bsky.social @mvtfwd.bsky.social www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

This deranged, disgusting attack on Jess Phillips deserves a public rebuke, not just behind-the-scenes diplomacy

Right wing press pretending there wasn't an inquiry into child sex gangs sadly for them, it was 2 years ago! www.gov.uk/government/p...

AI 'managed consent' set to bring about the 'intention economy' where all your decisions are pre-empted and nudged to favour political and economic outcomes of corporations working hand in hand with govts. Terrifyingly dystopian. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"We're in a crisis situation with violence against women." Annie Lennox tells @cathynewman.bsky.social she is "so proud" of Gisele Pelicot for being "brave and courageous". Read and watch: www.channel4.com/news/society...

Shame must change sides! #giselepelicot #solidarity #pelicot

I hope this is true, but polls can be misleading

Well reasoned case against the latest far right hobby horse - leaving the ECHR. Another complex legal mechanism that protects Britons from bad government, & our trade agreements and the GF agreement depend on it. Worth a watch from @peterstefanovic.bsky.social

At a friends house party in Bristol last night, several people couldn't think of a single person in their lives who supported or voted for brexit. #echochamber I find that amazing! I'm surrounded by #union colleagues and members who hold views I disagree with. #socialmediasworld
