I am at a loss to understand what Americans have just done.I hate Elon Musk so I will no longer be found on X. Thank you to all who have and will migrate to Threads & Bluesky to find me. Let us hope for a better future.

So, Tiny Tears Tommy has been jailed for 18 months for contempt of court, by repeating libellous claims against a young Syrian refugee, but #juststopoil and other climate protestors get around 3-4 years. Please make it make sense #protest #climatechange
It’s becoming more and more like American Football in the penalty box #WOLMCI

What about the Palestinians?
7 October 2023 was the darkest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust.
One year on from these horrific attacks we must unequivocally stand with the Jewish community and unite as a country.
We will not falter in our pursuit of peace and on this day of pain and sorrow, we honour those we lost, and continue in our determination to return those still held hostage, help those who are suffering, and secure a better future for the Middle East.

Why is he wasting money on this? It is the wrong investment. Is it due to money and lobbying from fossil fuel companies? 🤔

Chancellor strongest indication of capital spend increase, while launching 22b Carbon capture plan, directly criticising inherited plans “cutting back on investment at exactly the time we needed to be increasing… I’m not going to make those mistakes”

Empty words from an empty PM
"We have to make the case for freedom of movement"
As Keir Starmer heads to the European Commission for a meeting with Ursula von der Leyen on rebuilding relations with the European Union, here's a throwback to 2020..
"We welcome migrants, we don't scapegoat them"
"Low wages, poor housing, poor public services, are not the fault of migrants, or the people who come here. They are political failure, political failure"
"So we have to make the case for the benefits of migration, the benefits of free movement"
"I want people in this country to be able to go and work abroad in Europe, and I want people in Europe to be able to come and continue to work here"
"I want families to be able to live together, whether that's in Europe or here"
"And I want people in this country, in the United Kingdom, to be able to go and study in Europe just as they can now. And for people in Europe to be able to come and study here"
"We have to make the case for freedom of movement, and we have to make it strongly"

If pensions were on a par with NLW (£11.44 p/h 40 hours = £456.70 gross) and not the lowest in Europe at approx £221 per week then we shouldn’t be having this discussion
“The Labour Govt has got options that they are simply ruling out, the Green MPs are pushing Rachel Reeves to review capital gains tax”
Green Party Co-Leader @carla_denyer says winter fuel payments shouldn't be means tested as “people always fall through the cracks”

That’s more than a lot of pensioners get in a year and they want to cut their fuel allowance…………
This is insane. Labour’s Bridget Phillipson says she took a £14,000 donation, primarily to throw a birthday party.
She’s smiling while she divulges this information. I’m genuinely in awe that they don’t appear to see how bad this looks.

One of the best nuclear war films I have ever seen. Scared the shite out of me when I watched it as a teenager when it was first aired on BBC @reece_dinsdale
Threads, the massively important film about nuclear war in Britain, is being aired next month for the first time in over 20 years. A radio programme on its legacy airs tomorrow night on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds at 8pm. Make sure to tune in!

So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for making indecent images of children, but planning a protest over Zoom gets you 3,4, or 5 years. Our justice system is well and truly broken.

Very very disappointed in this vote. It
goes against all my Green values 😡
Members of @TheGreenParty have voted to support building HS2 in full, reversing their previous position.
