A bloke from Derby ish, trying to be more woke, encouraging people and companies to do things more securely and think about information privacy. Very concerned about how people can so easily be conned by populist political party's.

For me, having compassion for asylum seekers is natural so I just don't understand where the hate comes from apart from using them to manipulate others.
(asylum seekers) "were real human beings. They had survived things most of us can barely imagine, & then made a monumental effort to reach safety, in a country they knew as law-abiding and compassionate." westcountryvoices.co.uk/farage-doesnt-care-about-asylum-seekers-i-do-we-all-should-heres-why/

📌 ICYMI — Reform’s ‘Independent’ Donations Inquiry Was Led By The Lawyer Who Defended Donald Trump Over Russian Collusion — @nafeez.bsky.social Reform UK said its internal inquiry would proceed “independently and without prejudice” yet it was led by a barrister who has previously represented…
The trouble is, it's all good that we find out about this on this platform but the people who need to know the truth here often are never informed but then just don't care anyway as long as they get rid of anybody that isn't the right colour.
Full marks to Bobby J for not bothering to mention that this was entirely due to being given £45 million from the Labour government and told to do it. Even a Reform council couldn't fuck that up.
I really must have a listen to Andy Burnhams speach. I could do with a sense of hope at the moment. I sometimes feel this country is out of control but I think that's born from what is put across by the media.
Andy Burnham's speech yesterday felt like a genuine shift from vibes to vision & to unity from division. There was a lot to welcome: serious commitments on social care, green energy, housing, devolution, electoral reform & greater public control of essential services... 🧵1/5

Exposing how fossil fuel firms stand to gain billions in benefits after funding Trump's campaign proves US climate policy is up for sale. Trading regulatory rollbacks for election cash is corporate corruption at its worst. Why let oil tycoons buy energy policy? 🤔 #ClimateCrisis #FBR
What a line up of some of the worst scum in this beautiful country.
Analysis showing Reform UK's top Tory defectors face losing their seats at the next election proves jumping ship won't save opportunistic politicians. Voters see right through cynical rebrands aimed purely at career survival. Why reward political opportunism? (1/2) 🤔 #FBPE

On his GB News show Nigel Farage claimed threshold freezes are “dragging about nine million pensioners into taxation”. In fact, the OBR estimates the actual number of pensioners who will be brought into paying income tax because of the freezes is much lower.

Can you take 2 mins to respond to Ofwat's consultation to demand they BLOCK the water bill hike. If water companies can't survive without hiking our bills, let them go bust and bring them into public ownership. Deadline: midnight Thurs 24th Sept weownit.org.uk/NoBillHike
Good to hear this sort of stuff.
It's great to hear the govt is considering equalising Capital Gains Tax (the tax paid on income from wealth) with Income Tax (the tax paid on wages). If done right it could raise £11 billion+/year for our public services, whilst making the country fairer & boosting growth.
