Why not invite a few friends along for the ride: Trump Putin Theil and some other tech bros

Liz Truss and Elon Musk exiled to Mars with no way back. Why not?

Why does anyone listen to these rich thick twats? Governing a democracy for the general benefit of 70 million people is nothing like running a business empire for your own benefit.

We simply have to get these American arseholes out of our systems. No more Starlink. No more Palantir. No more any of them.

The government should ban twitter in the UK on the basis that Lowe is inciting riots alone.

Peter Geoghegan@petergeoghegan.bsky.social

This right here is the power of Elon Musk to completely warp politics without *giving a penny* as a political donation Without X, Lowe would be a no hoper independent MP Instead he’s spreading ethnic cleansing chat to normies. Wild

It would be great to know why the government seem so reluctant to both remove Palantir and give us information. Palantir is not an organisation that has the UK’s interests at heart (or even the world’s). The sooner they are gone the better.

Good Law Project@goodlawproject.org

Ministers are refusing to publish vital briefings which contain significant material related to Palantir’s NHS software. As the deadline looms to renew the spy-tech firm’s £330m contract, they’re keeping us in the dark. We can't let them 👇 https://goodlaw.social/t8tf

Depressing to see that, despite all the press coverage, 8,928 people went out to vote for a racist party in Holborn and St Pancras that is calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state. I guess Jews still don’t count.

Absolutely they should and wouldn’t it be great if the mainstream media reported on this so that their supporters understood better who they were voting for?

EleriTudor@eleritudor.bsky.social

These people should be prosecuted for inciting racial hatred.

Karen Smith's decision to stand in support of books inviting readers to join the author on an unique journey of exploration, investigation and discovery is heroic in my eyes. May her action inspire more heroes to stand before all who seek to destroy what they can not understand.

Absolutely inspiring to see someone step up with courage and conviction. Actions really do speak louder than words, and it’s wonderful to see Karen Smith embracing her new role with such strength and determination. Wishing her every success—may she continue making a positive difference! ✊❤️

Absolutely this. Never vote for a party that intends to take us out of the ECHR. They do not have your interests at heart ❤️

Sarah Murphy@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

McKenzie donates billions of dollars to charities, and her greedy ex husband, Jeff, is making billions more. He could be doing so much good with all that wealth, but all they want is more, more, more. How fucking greedy can one person be?

I was never a particular fan of either Nick Robinson or Andrew Marr but they are absolute titans of political analysis compared to the drivel produced by Kuenssberg and Mason.

Such a great thread and so true

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It’s a disgrace- we can not trust Thiel and Palantir they are enemies of democracy No democracy should trust either Thiel oder Palantir

Foreign sec Ed Miliband tells people angered by Labour's past approach to Gaza: "We hear you. You were right." (It doesn't, of course, speak to those still concerned about the continued ban and mass arrests re. Palestine Action)

Absolutely this. Until the government deals with Musk and what he is trying to do they are not being serious.

Dave Johnson@dcjohnson.bsky.social

Does this include Musk & his social media -- or will Labour and the govt keep using it? Being there forces people to go there and be influenced if they want to know what is being said by them. The algorithm is designed to radicalize users against democracy and non-whites.

This is so true. I’m imagining how Mark Carney would be responding and it wouldn’t be like this…

Ben Hudson@buntersgut.bsky.social

For the previous four days the *national news story* has been about one over privileged man's allegations about another over privileged man. This is not a serious country any longer.

We are sliding into the same cesspool of corruption that the USA finds itself in. And nobody in power seems in any way inclined to stop it. Words fail me.

Perhaps Ed Milliband can suggest why there is resistance to Burnham making a qualifying statement why right wing thugs are on the steets in 2026.

This is the argument that needs emphasising!

Dave Johnson@dcjohnson.bsky.social

Agreeing migration is bad is the centrist practice of validating the opposition argument instead of countering it and leading. It also misunderstands that it isn't about migration at all. It's about race. White supremacists see all non-whites as invaders - "migrantd" who shouldne be here.

Absolutely this. Presumably the government are going to take action?

Nadia Whittome MP@nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social

When blackshirts are marching through the streets of Dover and Portsmouth, the focus shouldn’t be on the disruption they cause, but on their fascist ideology and deliberate intimidation of migrants and people of colour. [1/2]

I couldn’t agree with you more. I am so ashamed of this government and the right leaning parties that they appear to be emulating.

As a native Brit, I'm appalled by our government's decisions on immigration and their seemingly nonstop efforts to emulate Reform. 💯 more hostile in my opinion and I'm embarrassed by them.

Ukraine’s Independence Day is a reminder of something the Kremlin has spent years trying to deny:  Ukraine is a sovereign country. Its future belongs to Ukrainians. Its alliances, identity and political choices are not Moscow’s to decide.  Happy Independence Day, Ukraine 🇺🇦

300,000 die a year awaiting hospital appointments is shameful, even though a proportion of those would be from causes unrelated

Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social

Tory Legacy 6.15m people awaiting 7.27m hospital appointments in England. 3,000 a day treated in corridors. 300,000 a year die awaiting hospital appointment. Good health not seen as investment. Healthy life expectancy declining. Govts obsessed with fiscal rules and 'mustn't tax the super rich'.

Why is the government pursuing this course of action? Palantir is a company that we should not be doing business with and apparently their product isn’t that good. So let’s not bankrupt the NHS and country to pay them.

One of the most useful and profitable areas of the economy, destroyed and sacrificed on the altar of right wing racism,for absolutely no gain. Not a single right wing vote was bought by destroying the sector. The foreign students shouldnt even be part of the immigration stats, given theyll leave
