I shall no longer be posting on Twitter (X) from this account. For kind of obvious reasons. Ta-ra.

Strangely politics free on here given the results. Hard to spin such a result, I guess. Only thing I saw was a silly joke from Musk.

Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

I don't really do X, but just logged in to see this absolute cringe-fest. Dear me. Now to see what the Clacton sentiment is...

I realise I failed at not posting. So here's another post: Fascism almost always rises with the support and funding of the richest who think that thugs can be used to control the masses. The longer they continue, the more power they consolidate.

@EastMidRailway dear me. Lol ts of people on the Liverpool to Nottingham train who didn't expect not to be allowed off until Manchester. I was supposed to go to Widnes. No PA announcement, no guard coming through to tell us we had to take another train. Absolutely furious.

Half the time I take a train there's some issue but this is quite something. Never found myself twice as far away from home as intended.

I mean...yeah. Yeah it is. And it was pretty bad before.
Do people think this platform is becoming more racist?

It is as bad as we have ever seen it. The scenes of famine in Gaza are simply barbaric. As MPs of Israeli and Palestinian descent, we hope though that recognition of the State of Palestine will serve to flame the embers of hope for peace. My open letter with @alexsobel

You all are lapping up Musky boy when his stepsister is also his stepmother. His Dad has two kids by the girl he took in when she was four. How messed up is that? He's not asking for an inquiry into that sort of grooming, is he?

Halewood residents... it'd be great if new Jaguars were made in our car plant, right? Well Reform think they should go bust instead. All because a short ad hurt their feelings. I'm not sharing Farage's video, but here's a screenshot where he said this.

Trump now has lots of power. So did Johnson after his win in 2019. It brought his party to the edge of ruin. It may never recover. The people Johnson relied upon for votes are similar to Trump's cohort. They'll be furious when they find the promises fail to materialise.

Using the Britain First method I can see that our local culture is being taken over by a targeted cabal of nurseries, music venues and climbing centres! Watch out for the takeover! P.S. people getting mad a church is being repurposed to worship the same god is cray cray.

If I was a billionaire I'd be tempted to start a business called EasyVirgin just to cause trademark litigation chaos. Partly because it annoys me how firms love to steal public culture on social media in their very demure, very mindful ways but really hate it the other way.

Union leaders talking about striking over means testing the winter fuel payment. This shows a long history of standing up for the vulnerable. Remember the strikes against the child benefit cap? No. Me neither.

Shocked to hear of the assassination attempt on Trump. I think this calls for some self reflection in the US on political discourse, gun ownership and security. How does anyone get an assault rifle into a political rally? How do they think this could help in any way?

On gender related content, many people reveal their ignorance of how gender is expressed as our bodies develop from a fertilised egg into adults. There is no binary state. We *all* start as female*, not all finish as male. /1
No David, that’s ridiculous. Biology trumps “gender identity”. There’s no one way to be a man. You’re enforcing gender stereotypes & these social constructs you speak of by saying such things. A transwoman is not a woman. He is a man who identifies as one. That is very different.

But once you accept that gender is not a binary state you have to also accept that you have to take individuals as they are, and not lump all men into the category of "likely rapists" or all women into "likely mothers." It's complex. /3

Society likes simplicity. Biology and psychology are not simple. Kindness and sophistication allow us to consider and adapt to a more complex world. * to my first tweet on this thread, even that whole thing is likely to be way more complex. /ends
