Musk is deliberately amplifying one of the main instigators of racist violence in the UK, a man who was previously banned from Twitter & has a series of criminal convictions. X is no longer a neutral platform, it’s a delivery system injecting hate into our society.

This is genius
John Oliver, "The Conservatives have had 5 different prime ministers over the past 14 years.. It's worth briefly revisiting all of them" 1⃣"David Cameron.. Austerity.. Brexit" 2⃣"Theresa May.. More austerity, two child cap" 3⃣"Boris Johnson.. His time in office was a shambles.. Britain left the EU on the same day of the first case of the corona virus was announced.. His handling of covid was an unmitigated disaster" "For the record there is only one actual f*ckpig in Downing Street.. David Cameron.. As a student at Oxford he once put his d*ck in a dead pig's mouth" 4⃣"Liz Truss who had the shortest tenure of any British prime minister in history.. Her budget full of tax cuts for the rich which caused a mini economic crisis" 5⃣"Sunak the wet.. A man who literally does not have the sense to get in from the rain" "Brexit created red tape that has grown exponentially.. Trading goods with the EU is now so onerous that many businesses have chosen to relocate into mainland Europe which is not good news for the UK" "Brexit is estimated to be costing the economy about £100 billion a year" "While Brexit makes the news, austerity is the legacy of Cameron and his successors because it has in so many ways obliterated public services" "Take the NHS, years of under investment have left it gutted and understaffed.. Wait lists for NHS treatment have exploded.. More than 7.5 million waiting for non emergency treatment, that's over 2.5 million when the Conservatives came in in 2010"

Fifteen years. Five prime ministers, seven chancellors, eight foreign secretaries, twelve culture secretaries and sixteen housing ministers. A thread, for #RantyTuesday.

The announcement in the rain is rapidly becoming Sunak's Bacon Sandwich moment. Discuss. – at Brighton, England

Everyone should read this. Ps if @RSPBEngland put out a thread like this against a Labour government it would lead the news and lead all the right wing rags who will instead try to turn it into a story about wokery. Liars supported by liars. Viva RSPB!!

No tomato shortage here - but I’m in Kherson, a frontline Ukrainian city that gets shelled by the Russians daily, not a British supermarket.

When water companies were privatised in 1989 they were all debit free. We, the tax payer, had written off all of the companies' debts. 33 years later they accumulated £54bn in debt and 20% of your bill now goes towards paying interest. We've been had! theguardian.com/environment/…

Everyone went through the pandemic & goes through the war in Ukraine. Ireland is the best, UK worst performer… I wonder what’s the difference 🤔 Brexit and ONLY Brexit is devastating the British economy, depriving it of opportunities & destroying young Britons’ future! 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Your reminder that although Chris Philp has 'serial entrepreneur' in his bio. He is, in fact, a serial bankrupt with a dubious tax history who shafted thousands of people who paid him money. In Sunak's govt that is recognised as 'talent'🤔 #kayburley #r4today #BBCBreakfast #gmb

'Explain what you mean by Woke & then we can have the conversation'. Incredibly put by @RakieAyola. This should be the response to every commentator, Journalist & MP who've become far too comfortable throwing the Term 'Woke' into every one of their dog whistle opinions

Retweet the sh*t out of this one please. It's a message that many, many decent people struggle but need to hear.
Not much of a silver lining, given the size of the cloud, but at least we now know that any producer or presenter using guests from @iealondon is either deliberately promoting their ridiculous, utterly discredited agenda or treating their audience with complete contempt. Or both.

The only sane thing for the UK is to return to the EU as quickly as possible. There is no time for irony here.

In English (for Berlin): this very rare e-bike was stolen out of our garage yesterday. I designed the frame & I’m very fond of it. Probably the only one of its kind between here and Warsaw.
Das Rad von @urwahnbikes heißt Platzhirsch und war mir sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Abgesehen davon, dass es wertvoll ist, weil ich die Grafik gemacht habe & es mein Musterexemplar war.

Looking at all of this from a great distance, of course, but wouldn’t the best economic, trade, and financial policy for Great Britain just now be to join the European Union...?

And then retweet it. @kelvmackenzie is obviously craving the attention.
The fact that you've probably never seen this complete humiliation of Kelvin Mackenzie is a mark of just how craven most of the British media is. Please watch it all the way through. He literally runs away, squealing, from his own brand of 'journalism'. youtu.be/ErqQxlbNpUg

The legacy of power, politics and failure in a single picture. The reality of what has been achieved. This is how England looked at 6:30am this morning. The legalised dumping of sewage onto our beaches witnessed in real-time.
