Lisa Nandy really needs to get onto this And that’s only the first - GB news needs to be addressed as well

WTF is the point of Lisa Nandy? Why are the BBC still blatantly promoting Reform? 🤬

Here we go again. Rueful & Co will be trying to take over again but you know what to do to stop them. Don’t ignore your emails from the NT with links to votes. Don’t split the vote (easiest to select the NT preferred selection of both members & motions) And get all family members to vote too!

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

I always feel like a participant in propaganda warfare when I use social media. Doesn’t everyone?

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

The sole survivor of her family… now she is gone too. Eight-year-old Fatima Al-Bayouk lost her entire family to an Israeli strike in 2023. Yesterday, Israeli forces killed her too, south of Deir al-Balah, Gaza. (Ramy Abdu)

I just caught the start of a BBC radio news bulletin, and it began with what Reform say. They have eight members of parliament. This isn't public service broadcasting, it is manufacturing consent for a Reform government that wants to deport our family, friends, and neighbours.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 😎👏💙👏😎 Juice Media

Buried on page 30 of Sir David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment The conflation of antisemitism with anti-Israel sentiment is intentional, and frankly sickening.

All such articles somehow fail to recognise that 'centrism' (i.e. continuation of baked-in neoliberal austerity) is currently producing record levels of #inequality. Public services & quality of life are falling, yet pension age & cost of living are rising. The system is not working for the many.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This is Jeremyc Hunt saying that he should have been even more of a Hunt when he was in power.

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wild new story from @natlash.bsky.social Bird flu has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted, instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Neal Lawson: "I couldn't live on the meagre benefits people are getting. To suggest that we have to cut those.. actually that's where the engine of growth is, that's the people who spend.. how do you get people out spending.. not by cutting benefits of people at the bottom"

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

The UN found Israel killed 35 Palestinian children during the 2018 Gaza protests. At the time Lisa Nandy asked the govt how it could continue justifying arms sales to Israel For over 2yrs Nandy has been part of a govt thats armed Israel while its killed tens of thousands of Palestinian kids
