Trump has achieved some appalling things. Powerful egomaniacs tend to do so. But one thing I will thank him for is Europe waking up to the need to become tech sovereign. youtu.be/OcQy1zaflbw?...

Billionaires create poverty, promote wars, accelerate climate change. Disabled people don't. But Reform UK want to make ~ 16.8 million disabled people in the UK poorer, destitute, dead (2023/24 estimate) Instead of taxing 156 UK billionaires (2025 figures) #TaxTheRich meme via Phil Brookes
Nathan Gill is serving ten and a half years after admitting he took money to advance pro-Russian interests while holding elected office.

Andy Burnham has defended the government’s early release scheme, citing one example with a very positive outcome. “There was this man – let’s call him ‘Keir’. He was sentenced to five years inside. It was a living hell for him.” From the latest Private Eye, out now.

Together, war, poverty and climate change create thousands of refugees and are themselves created, worsened, accelerated by billionaires regarded as 'enterprising' and saviours by successive UK governments and Reform UK which refuse to #TaxTheRich meme via Truth Against Hate
Reform UK wants power. But it's haemorrhaging recruits - resigning, suspended, or quitting Farage's outfit - then mopping up failed Tories to fill the gaps. The pattern is the story. But no one's keeping track. Until now. 👇 https://bestforbritain.org/reform-uk-defections-resignations-tracker/
"Our crops are failing due to extreme heat and drought, but Burnham’s answer is to add fuel to the fire? Drilling for North Sea oil will not significantly lower bills because it is sold on international markets, but it will fuel the climate crisis. " via Greenpeace UK

Farage lied about Essex Police, numerous Reform supporters are saying he couldn't go because his chauffeur was drunk!
Reform has appointed an economist who previously argued for NHS privatisation. Would you trust the party with the health service?
EV range is not an issue for 90% of real use (20miles average a day commute and a 3 pin granny charger is all you need) BUT, it still holds people back. Next year solid state batteries will be real. Toyota says 621 miles and 10–80% charge in about 10 minutes. Next excuse?

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Telegraph are determined to make this a right vs left debate. It isn't. It's about who should own our press: a few billionaires, or a genuinely diverse range of organisations - including plenty who disagree with me? Actual media pluralism & a free press.
"On October 24, 1975, roughly 90 percent of Icelandic women simply stopped. No paid work. No housework. No cooking, no cleaning, no childcare, for one entire day, in a country of just 220,000 people." via Stories of the Endless Arc

Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last mo.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
