Jesus. This revolting individual who thinks it's ok to abuse and assault people...thinks RNLI supporters are ruining the country. You couldn't make it up. Thank god I don't have x or Facebook.

Thank you James, I needed this. I live in Poole the home of the RNLI and last Sat joined a Stand up to Racism march, along the Quay to the RNLI lifeboat museum, to show our support for the volunteers and staff. The public were supportive, then this happened www.facebook.com/share/v/1GU2...

Carney's approval rating is 70+%. He's become so popular by treating people like intelligent adults. No populism, no appealing to base instincs, no talking to us as if we're children. He doesn't make stupid people his core audience. He understands there's a supermajority beyond the knuckle-draggers.

Today my son joined the graduate cohort As a parent I never knew their interest started racking up yrs before they were allowed to repay. The constant terms changing would not be allowed in any other financial product Like them, I was sold “just like a mobile phone contract” - so far from truth

Graduates are being ripped off. The student loan system is unfair and unsustainable. I'm proud to sponsor this Bill led by my colleague @tomgordonld.bsky.social that will require the government to review how student loans are repaid in England.

There ya go, folks. The self-proclaimed Genius just explained that we can get rid of our trade deficit if we all just stop eating bananas. It’s so simple. Why didn’t anyone think of that?? Come on, be a patriot — ditch the bananas! 🍌

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

It's been 16 months since I left X, and I feel so much better for it. I hadn't realised just how big an impact the daily tsunami of hate, trolling, sealioning and strategic incomprehension was having on my state of mind. I cannot understand why anyone who values their mental health is still there.

"Iran is negotiating an end to the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz by allowing countries to pass if they shift from US Dollar to Chinese Yuan for oil trades." It'll cost the US $3 trillion a year; weaken the Dollar, trigger hyperinflation then recession and depression.
