Robinson, Musk and Badenoch are all part of an industry of grievance, a machine designed to spread hate which now operates across the British right – from respectable print outlets to wild-eyed online fascists

Don't be fooled, Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk are playing you
The message the hate engine transmits is simple: asylum seekers are not really people in need

Well, that's not too difficult to understand, is it? 🤨

Being on X, or staying on it, is also convincing them of the need to pander to the worst of us. It’s giving govt and media a very biased base from which to extrapolate their “will of the people” take.

We covered a lot of ground in our interview with Major General Charlie Herbert for our #DefendersofDemocracy series - in part one of a two-part article he shares his views on the occupation of #Gaza, and the disastrous example established by US interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan

Not proud of myself but I’d like to put him in the concrete footings for his bloody ballroom.

Send puppies please.
And who I linked in the post which might suggest I already did.
Hmm. But how does that explain the cover up of funding, election interference and media silence.
There is a rot at the heart of British politics and media. I suspected a spy ring but the truth may be worse.

The US has fallen. Are we next? Has Putin already won?
Totally. Companies es registering big profits should have to repay those benefits. If they can’t afford to pay staff a full living wage then they should employ fewer just as small businesses do. Ethical business is good business.
And we underestimate the value of SME sector. Employs 60% in the UK. It’s where we should be investing. Home grown businesses. Not the big monsters who then pay their workers so little we have to support with tax credits.
No, Labour have betrayed everyone and everything they were supposed to stand for.
Wes Streeting on the lessons of the Caerphilly defeat - Labour aren't telling a compelling story about who they are, who they're for & what they are driving to do.

On the contrary, I'd argue voters have a very good idea who you are, who you're for and what you're doing.
My eyes! Is this real? Did someone have a stroke? I actually, for real, had to go off to check images online looking for “tufts of chest hair” thinking, what, who?! It’s hilarious really. I think someone is having fever dreams about you, Zack. 😂

Buy & read Virginia Giuffre’s book.

Every powerful interest in the world wants the Epstein story to go away.

She lost her life trying to expose it.

Demand the release of the Epstein files, absolutely.

Also - buy the book.

Buying the book sends a message & will galvanize you to keep fighting.

Ffs Starmer, there isn't "One Nation" 🙄

There's partitioned Ireland which should be unified with the rest of it's country 🇮🇪, There's Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, where you got your arse kicked, there's England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿where you've surrendered to Reform politics. Try listening to people that aren't rabid 🙄 & there's Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
How old do we have to be to be able to cook, do you think? I’m a really competent cook and can bake, cook everyday, healthy meals, roasts, puds, varied cuisines, and can up the game to a 3 or 4 course dinner to entertain a group. I was born in the 60s tho and learned at home. When did it stop?
Can you imagine working close to him and his team tho? I am guessing anyone who does is grateful when he’s happy and distracted for a bit. The perpetual torture clearly starts right here and now for those who sold their souls.
Depends on your timescales. If it’s for work, it’s can be challenging. We tried for a year and had to go back - too stressful for staff and infrastructure not reliable enough yet to support.

By speaking solely of immigration, politicians and the media mask the underlying conditions that have created a country alienated from itself, argues Editor-in-Chief of Byline Times, Hardeep Matharu

From where? Who is paying the Pentagon?
If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
