Omid spent a lot of the past few years talking about the protests in Iran and campaigning on X against the regime there. To see him reverse ferret for another fundamentalist regime is more than a bit disappointing. I would respect these people more if they just said "it was for a fuckton of money".

Tories were all for it as part of their modernizing "honestly we're not all heartless bastards" drive - until some dickhead realised it could be used as a wedge issue against the left. And here we are...

Also forgetting this whole fucking thing kicked off under May's tenure and it was Cameron and the stupid coalition that torpedoed reactors on the basis it would take too long. God I hate these idiots.

Why are these people so relentlessly lame?

What do we want?
Less sex.
When do we want it?
We're not having it anyway.

The fact that Blair's fingerprints are all over this is a big reason why I'm instinctively against it. Why is this guy (big tech simp that he is) so desperate to make it happen?

This government once again obsessed with all the crappy unpopular ideas Tony Blair didn't get to enact the first time round.

Pretty sure "more of the same but a bit younger" is not going to reverse Labour's precipitous decline.

Don't think I've experienced an 'oh my god if you know you know' moment quite like when I saw this arrows being described.

Incredible that anyone involved in bringing Mandy back couldn't see this coming given his long history of being sacked for scandals. A government of lemmings gleefully jumping to their deaths.

Haha. Someone at Labour HQ thinks this is a good day to bury bad news.

God it would be really nice to stop being the sewage overflow of American politics for a bit. It's fucking exhausting.

How do you wish to pay for these, if not with a thriving handbag economy?

Not only that, part of Musks power and influence is based on owning a huge global foghorn. The less people use it, the less power and influence he has.

And finally: I just don't want to be surrounded by cunts all day. I have better things to do.

That assumes that all posts are given equal weighting on twitter. They are not. Extreme right wing opinion is being boosted by Musk. Alternative voices are being drowned out.
