Oh ffs. MPs must stop romanticising this absolute horseshit. Brexiters promised a land of milk and honey and delivered contaminated water and broken biscuits. We don’t want it. And we mustn’t be tied to failure and lies just because politicians want to cover up the utter mess they’ve made.

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Impartiality does NOT mean giving equal weight to science/facts/reality on the one hand and right-wing populist culture war BS on the other. Every section referenced actually DID give pros and cons, and difficult choices. The MoS ignored that and pretended it was one-sided.

Farage on BBC Breakfast again this morning. Thankfully, Sally Nugent is doing her best to hold him to account, but he can't answer a straight question and is still claiming to be the most targeted politician in the UK. Just more lies and dislike of scrutiny.

It’s not ‘wrong’ to ‘reopen’ Brexit debates. It’s wrong to treat terrible decisions as irreversible.

If an entire industry has to be created around keeping women’s drinks safe the problem is MEN.

I think I might be able to assist. The Conservatives *know* that people are stupid. In particular, most of those who elect them.

Had to happen. We gravitate to them because of language, culture and media. But you cannot fight geography We are an island just off continental Europe Britain is part of Europe

A warming atmosphere holds more moisture. We warmed the atmosphere, now here come the floods. Just as predicted by physics. Odd how, whether you “believe” in science or not, it just keeps on happening.

We've spent ten years asking whether Brexit was a mistake. Perhaps that's the wrong question. The question is whether Britain would be better off inside or outside the EU over the next fifty years. We don't need to relitigate 2016 to make a decision about our future.

Brexit was the greatest act of economic self-harm in our country’s history, leaving Londoners nearly £3,400 worse off on average.

Ministers approving new oil and gas licences as the world passes 1.5C are pouring petrol on a burning building. They’re arsonists.

Worth noting that while Johnson and Hancock deservedly get much of the flak for this deadly failure, the minister who failed to protect the care sector was Helen Whately - who is now the Tory shadow minister pushing draconian benefit reforms

Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian -- you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.” Britain and the rest of Europe and the free world. We need to uncouple ourselves from the US. They are gone, never to be trusted again.

When Badenoch is congratulating Burnham on a good decision then you know it a bad one. We should leave oil and gas where it is. #jackdaw

OK. So. The USA is officially now the enemy.

Just to be clear, Elon Musk’s disabling of starlink/starshield helps Putin target civilians rather than Ukrainian forces. By hampering air defences, he’s not just helping Russia’s military. He’s helping it commit war crimes

Nothing will happen to Johnson or Hancock or any crooked Tory like Mone. Nothing will happen to Nigel Farage. Nothing will happen to Trump or Putin or Netanyahu. But it absolutely should.

Jackdaw will not bring down bills or protect jobs. This is an irresponsible decision from a government that seems to care more about the profits of fossil fuel companies than the money in your pocket or the safety of our planet.

Dreadful decision. The oil companies lied and lied about global warming. They knew what would happen but put profits first. This will not reduce your energy bills but will increase Shell’s profits. The plutocrats have won. Vote Green when you can like your life depends on it - because it does.

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

Jenrick: “No one has done more than Nigel Farage to stand up against racism and the far right” Farage has exploded a brexity, anti-immigration, small boats, mass-deportations, ICE-style cruelty, riots and racism bomb on the UK and now stands back and tells us only he can fix the damage he’s caused.

FFS "14 years of leftist government"? What fucking planet are these people on?

Environmental vandalism and simply irresponsible given the climate emergency. It won't help UK households or lower their bills. It will just stuff the pockets of the fossil fuel corps even more. Reckless. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

This is damning. So much could could have been done at the time, with what was known about COVID, and with what what resources we had. It’s hard not to read callous neglect into these findings. And that intentional neglect was layered with lies - like the “protective ring” - which did not exist.

The whole lot of them should be arrested and banged up for gross negligence.

Fucking Hell ... Reform aren't a reputable political party with a few "bad apples spoiling the barrel". The barrel is made of rotting meat, filled with salmonella infused maggoty raw chicken, raw sewage and dog shit. Reform is a racist party ... and the people in it are racist to the core.

Every nation should look for alternatives to Starlink. Musk companies clearly cannot be relied on.

I don't think any UK-based, British broadcasters have properly chronicled Trump's depravity as honestly and accurately as James O'Brien, Simon Marks and Nick Abbot. @lbc.co.uk

There can no longer be *any* doubt (there never was for many of us) that ReformUK Ltd is a racist & fascist organisation and *anyone* who continues their 'membership' for ReformUK Ltd, who votes for ReformUK Ltd or who works or volunteers for ReformUK Ltd is also an unreconstructed racist & fascist.

It happens so much — it's so endemic — that there's a danger you get numb to it. I can't explain why this one hurt me so bad. Please, please spend a moment to watch this. And imagine it's your mum, sister, daughter, partner or friend. These people are monsters. There's no other word.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Netanyahu has disputed the attack on EU Diplomats including from Belgium and France that left them in hospital. It is time for Europe to Sanction Israel they are an enemy state.

Can the media stop inferring the despicable attacks on our heroic members of the RNLI fall under the odious ‘legitimate concerns’ balaclava wearing thugs and keyboard warriors terrorising them are domestic terrorist -it’s really that simple. Good people on one side despicable thugs on the other.

I don't want flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive.

Brexit and Russia… “I think you would have to start with Boris Johnson. “The reason why there is still this confusion is there was no public attempt to establish with confidence what actually happened because successive British governments declined to look closely at what was going on.” (Times)

“If Trump were a Russian asset, in what way would he behave any differently from the way he behaves now?” The UK must accept that the “special relationship” does not exist. Our security & prosperity lie with & in the EU. Always did. Always will. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yeah that was the inevitable consequence of globalisation. That was just securing of maritime trade by interest and money rather than by naval power. And the problem with that system is it works really well, right up until the moment someone uses force to stop it...

Usual hand-wringing about returning to division and inaction, not getting the same opt-outs etc… but arguments to rejoin trump those what-ifs. Going it alone in a world dominated by Putin, Trump and China is strategically idiotic and economically ruinous. Shaking your head at that is red-flag-dim.

Never forget - Boris Johnson actively suppressed the release of the Russia Report in 2019 until later in 2020 because he didn't want it to affect his chances of winning the 2019 election and pushing through his threadbare, burnt 'oven-ready Brexit deal'. His Russia connections should be investigated

Trump’s a Russian asset, Farage’s party is a racist enterprise, Putin wanted Brexit & if you tried to make a list of all the UK politicians & pundits who’ve backed all three, you’d be here for hours.

At what point will Reform UK Ltd be proscribed as a threat to the UK? This is not a political party; this is a hotbed of race hate and incitement.

A Reform councillor has been recorded calling for King Charles to be decapitated because he “is a Muslim”, while another one said of Asian people: “drag out of their homes, stick them on planes and **** them off to Pakistan.” It’s part of an undercover investigation by ITV Exposure

No wonder Badenoch and Farage are shitting bricks at the suggestion that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Their whole business model relies on Brexit and the racist anti- immigration bomb that it detonated. Their next bright idea - to leave the ECHR - would delight Putin too.

most people have a greater response to "feelings" than data ....and hence "feelings" are easier to manipulate

50% of Brexit "supporters" burned in Yandex datacenters.

Farage is a traitor to the UK calling Burnham 'a liar' over Russian interference in Brexit. Farage reinforces his support of Russia by deny the truth that many of us now accept, Russia financed the Brexit campaign and are still interfering in our politics today. Farage the Russian stooge.

Gentle reminder: Brexit isn’t shit just because the Russians backed it. It’s shit, and that’s why the Russians backed it.
