Ratcliffe's outrageous outburst is incredibly ignorant and I join others condemning him.
Migrants - including Man Utd's own players - massively contribute to our economy.
Meanwhile, multi-millionaires like him relocate to save tax, costing the state funds for our services.

A billionaire worth £17,000,000,000 who moved to Monaco to dodge £4,000,000,000 in tax is blaming immigrants for Britain’s problems.
If parasitic billionaires like Ratcliffe paid what they owe — & politicians weren’t in their pockets — our NHS, schools & public services wouldn’t be on their knees.

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

Jeremy Corbyn doesn't share Peter Mandelsons politics & has never had anything to do with him.
Keir Starmer kicked Jeremy out of the party (and then gave Peter Mandelson a top govt job)
And he actually thinks this is something to boast about? #PMQs

Speaking of difficult conversations. Peter thiel is also all over the files and the government announced they are giving palantir the contract for our defense. They also have a contract with NHS. This is potentially a dangerous situation and must be reconsidered immediately

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.
Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.
A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

I just want to remind people that when we talk about creating a "British ICE" and a concentration camp as somehow copying America, we already had the previous Tory government set up a concentration camp run by British military personnel for asylum seekers rapidly shut down after legal battles.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
