It should be the final sign of how utterly fucked up UK politics is that the RNLI rescuing/helping people at sea, whoever they are, is met by hostility, accusations of being traitors, lies, and doxing etc. The fact that it isn't making some people pause, reflect, and pull back *IS* that sign.

... but don't forget Reform want tax cuts for the super-rich! "... £50bn from welfare. £20-30bn from government departments - including courts, prisons, justice and local government ... And £28bn supposedly saved on debt interest ..." www.facebook.com/permalink.ph... via Reform Are Not Your Friends
Reform UK is funded by Russia, Restore bought and paid for by an American trillionaire, GB News owned by a hedge fund in Dubai. Daily Mail registered in Bermuda.
NHS England has said that you cannot opt out of Palantir having your medical data and they refuse to review their policy. So if you live in England, Palantir, Donald Trump, Netanyahu and co have access to all your medical data. Nobody voted for this.
At least Farage is a consistent waste of space to his constituents. www.labourhome.co.uk/oliver_ryan_...

🚨 NEW: The Green Party wants the government to STOP automatically treating new data centres as “critical infrastructure”. The party argues the designation could allow huge AI data centres to receive priority access to WATER and ELECTRICITY during shortages.
Oh great, so now not only has poor old Mrs Ashworth lost her arthritis PIP payments and is facing eviction for not being able to pull up a few dandelions... she can't even visit her grandkids in France during an election without forfeiting her vote. What a bunch of cunts.

And other find from @monkemma.bsky.social: Arday blogged all those marathons in real time. I can’t remember the dozens of journalists who told me there’s no evidence he ran them. Are any of you big enough — or good enough journalists — to correct your error?

Hi @vicderbyshire.bsky.social if Jason Arday and marathons ever come up, please see the evidence and references below. Better yet, invite @monkemma.bsky.social on and ask why she was able to find this information but most journalists have not
One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26
Dear @andyburnham.bsky.social The UK Media Needs To Be Held Responsible For Jason’s Death. Print media needs to be broken up and brought under an independent governing body. This cannot happen again. M CC @mrjamesob.bsky.social @jemmaforte.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social

The largest donations, totalling £15m, came from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, whose separate undeclared donation of £5m directly to Mr Farage is the subject of a parliamentary probe.
The BBC used to be a trusted source of unbiased information. We need it to be again. An independent and credible appointment system for the Board would be a good start. Political placements should have no part in the running of what is meant to be an independent institution.
Why are so many people falling for misinformation? A new study suggests the biggest danger isn't outrageous conspiracy theories – it's claims built around a grain of truth that feel plausible. That's what makes them so persuasive.
If crypto is good enough for money launderers, drug smugglers, Russian criminals and hackers, it's good enough for Reform UK.

Congratulations to the people of Clacton for voting in Farage who has promised to do away with PIP benefit payments…… which 1 in 5 of you claim.
