If you asked the average American what they’d think of a country that has a govt. militia shooting citizens on the street, televises executions, whose leadership preaches about religion & whose president was a corrupt, sex assaulter who released violent criminals from prison….what would they say?

Reform UK have tabled an amendment to the UK Government’s elections Bill which would mean candidates using any language except English or Welsh would face up to six months in prison. This is outright discrimination, and we will stand firmly against such prejudice and ignorance.

Anglophone visitors to Wales often seem weirdly obsessed with "Dim Parcio". But—from an etymological point of view—parcio is honestly far less interesting than it might look. The much less promising looking Welsh word "car" (which means "car") turns out to be quite a bit more interesting... 🧵
Sign that says "Dim Parcio" in Welsh at the top and "No Parking" in English at the bottom.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

In the 1980s, your Gran bought her Council House, at a huge discount. Over 2 million were sold in the UK. Councils paid-off debts with this money and didn't build new ones. That's why ALL people stay in crap, failed 'Hotels'. I was in 'Emergency Housing' for 4 years. Don't blame immigrants.

In the 1930s Mosley and his rank and file BUF were careful not to outwardly portray themselves as racists. They weren't antisemitic... far from it... they were just concerned about "bad principles" and "international bankers" and the influx of foreigners Everyone knew what they meant.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Can I please commend the stark difference between the Tories and Reform on Ukraine? MANY of the most senior Tories have condemned Trump explicitly in very clear terms that allow for no ambiguity or nuance. Reform are shamefully, even treacherously silent. Never forgive. Never forget.

Not appreciating the #r4today chuckling tone about Trump. A ‘What is he like?’ feel to it. When what he’s like is a convicted felon who’s pardoned insurrectionists, plans to leave the WHO and the Paris Climate Accord and is threatening mass deportations. Nothing remotely amusing about any of that.
