Posting again just to underline the fact that the X algorithm is VERY CLEARLY DESIGNED to feed far right material to new users… It is straight up a propaganda tool and decent people need to LEAVE it.

Mamdani, Greens and others shouldn't really be seen as radical. Rather, they should be seen as a return to the tradition of Roosevelt and Attlee. A return to the common sense social policies that were sidelined by 40 years of a trickle-down experiment that led nowhere. #NewDealers

Some 100 private jets will fly to Venice for Jeff Bezos' wedding, and I recycle yoghurt cup lids.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

Squeeze of low/middle income families is part of a deeper malaise. Political system is captured by big business and the rich. They fund political parties; control media & industry. Govts reluctant to cut corporate welfare, tax the rich. Power of corporations/rich is cause of austerity/poverty.

We regret the unjustified US 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports. The EU will protect its consumers and businesses. We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to €26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs. More about our response ↓ europa.eu/!rcMqWy

Ugh. Farage on #r4today to comment on Starmer attending the EU summit. An explosion of prejudiced bilge. The usual crap about needing a “proper” Brexit and a US trade deal. He talks of “submission” and “humiliation” but would be very happy to sell us out to Trump. The man is such a fucking bore.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Fascism and Oligarchy have joined forces. Their aim is to destroy our democracies so they can rule like feudal lords. Only a strong EU can counter that. The best way to make the EU and Britain stronger is to reverse Brexit – so that we can all stand united again on the barricade against tyranny. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS – one fifth of budget goes to it. Privatised services treat 10% of patients, 3% in 2011. 59,000 private contracts in the NHS. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits, longer queues persist. End privatisation. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it
Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

Thoughts on "echo chambers." Twitter was one anyway and had, in fact, become a gigantic echo chamber in itself - full of racist arseholes shouting nonsense and sucking up to Musk. If I'm in an echo chamber, I at least want to be surrounded by intelligent people saying interesting things.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
