I like some stuff. I hate some stuff. There's some stuff I don't have any strong opinions on. I particularly like Sunderland AFC and my bikes.

I’m not astonished 🤷‍♂️😬

No story at all according to the BBC. Not featured at all on Breakfast at 6am. Even Nick Ferrari led his show with it and he's been Farage's biggest enabler. The complicity of the BBC in the promotion and rise of the far right here is astonishing...

Totally agree, then let the others do likewise.

Thames Water asks creditors for another £2.4bn. Up to 30% of TW revenue covers financial costs. Debt spiral deepens problems, it borrowed to pay dividends. Hedge funds funding TW, hoping to asset-strip, hike bills, govt bailout. Let it go bust. Nationalise permanently.

My parents are 83 and 85, born in the middle of WW2. They were infants in WW2. Their parents lived through war, they're all dead. No one under 95 has any sensible memories of WW2. Who are the Daily Mail talking about?

What the Tories did to our nation is probably irreversible. They broke everything, tore down, everything, dismantled our public services and our communities. Never forgive, never forget.

Every month it seems to be "UK economy defies expectations" perhaps it's time to admit that thus govt have done well in the face of global pressures and that these predictors are either rubbish or biased.

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Sathnam Sanghera@sathnam.bsky.social

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

If you think a distinct sub category of human exists because some medieval warlords agreed that the border of England should be on the River Tweed, you are, Im afraid, an absolute maniac bsky.app/profile/theh...

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Jim Ratcliffe made billions off the backs of British workers. Those workers who were educated by our public services out of taxes we paid. . He then fucks off to a tax haven, voted and campaigned for Brexit and then says he has no confidence in this country? We don’t need his fucking opinion.

While rightwing media nods approvingly at the prejudiced outcry in Piddington, a RNLI station has to close because of white British thuggery and threats. This is where the constantly toxic obsession with immigration leads. To racist, flag-wielding vigilantism that ruins this country for everyone.

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

@warrenoates1.bsky.social who’d have thought eh Warren, apparently, all the media and financial institutions are ‘surprised’ 🤔 So that’d be each month of this year they’ve been ‘surprised’ or is that another word for being found out as liars that forced a PM and CX out rebuilding the country.

The fuss over paid for glasses and £50k of stamp duty or wrong docs signed when letting out your family home. As opposed to no headlines about Nigel Farage breaking the law. Never trust the British media. They’re bent.

millesini Netanyahu says Israel is protecting Europe and criticized Europe for forgetting the lessons of the Holocaust. We aren't criticizing Israel because we’ve forgotten the Holocaust, we are doing it because we remember it. Send Netanyahu to The Hague.

“Look. All we did was demand his resignation every day for 18 months, studiously ignore everything he achieved and gave Andy credit for it when we got our Man into position. So why isn’t he showing us abject loyalty?” No idea lads. It’s a mystery.

I’ve been wondering this. Sadiq Khan gets massive grief about ‘lawless London’ even though its crime rate is relatively low. Middlesbrough has the highest crime rate in the UK but nobody points the finger at Ben Houchen.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social why is Lord Ben Houchen, Metro Mayor of Tees Valley, not being asked about the ongoing problems in his area? www.private-eye.co.uk/in-the-back

If a working family has to claim beneifits we are subsidising employers.

Ending superrich bosses Government subsidies and making them pay decent wages and fair share of taxes is a better way of ending poverty than cutting minimum wages or reducing worker rights "The outrageous reason employees receive benefits is they're not being paid enough" via The UK Against Hate

GB News of all places, now admitting that the Starmer’s government’s policy of ‘smash the gangs’ is starting to work? I have to say ‘Starmer has been the most dishonestly vilified PM in my lifetime.
