Stands with Ukraine & all fighting tyranny
Happy to argue, but political tribalism = instablock
UK, small boat arrival from Xhitter
Behold the fifth column.
Reform UK voters' attitudes to the Ukraine war differ significantly from other main party voters, eg:

Want Ukraine to win and care that it does
Lab/Con/LD/Grn: 78-86%
Reform: 52%

Think UK should maintain / increase support to Ukraine
Lab/Con/LD/Grn: 70-81%
Reform: 46%

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

The idea that Bluesky is insular and X is a place for diverse views is a fallacy.

X is based on an algorithm rigged to push the views of Musk and others on the far right.

Bluesky is open. You can make it whatever you want it to be.

We knew it was coming. Despite the best efforts of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, his diplomats, generals and the Ukrainian people to say only nice things about Trump, the United States has betrayed Ukraine to Russia. Yet here we are. The American knife in Ukraine's back is plain for the world to see.

Buying a boiler no longer makes any logical sense

- You can now get a heat pump for less upfront cost than a boiler
- cover finance cost with fuel bill savings
- GUARANTEE a minimum efficiency.

Oh + studies show house value increases 1.7-3% too.

Media and political cues must play a role alongside trust in the police. There is a significant effort to amplify crime in London and in big cities, including to associate crime with migration and diversity. Sadiq Khan's London is targeted for this. There are mainstream, extreme + grey area actors

Elon, here you go again making false and completely unfounded accusations without providing any specifics. That’s the kind of response one would expect from a conspiracy theorist. What oligarch? What treason?
