Fiscal rules are 16 years old. They were invented by George Osborne. That they are constantly referred to as some sort of immutable part of political reality drives me around the bend.

Private Equity is parasitic capitalism. It adds nothing to society and only exists to extract wealth. It’s an act of class war as the rest of us pay the price.

He means ‘cutting’ and through some warped perspective, he really does believe that impoverishing the young is a moral thing to do. Do not vote Labour.

Who is English? What is a woman? Right-wing discourse in the UK is increasingly comprised of word games in which one assumes the perspective of an omniscient god, entirely divorced from any understanding of how states "see" their citizens.

The justice system in the UK is fucked. This violent man angrily assaulted a young woman in front of dozens of witnesses for exercising her right to protest and gets a 'conditional caution'. I'm waiting for the free speech absolutists and protectors of women and girls to call out this misogyny... ⏰

Hey @andyburnham.bsky.social, the “far right narratives” being promoted by Russia etc are the same ones chasing RNLI boats in the channel and intimidating communities in balaclavas and black uniforms. Condemn them all. Take action.

Hey “Andy”, some leadership please. Call this out for what it is. It’s fascism; it’s not patriotism. Arrest Thomas, proscribe his ‘platform’ and restrict X and other social media’s promotion of hate. Spine required.

Jurassic Park isn't really a film about dinosaurs. It's about what happens when humans get very good at building something before getting very good at thinking about the consequences. That feels uncomfortably relevant to AI. youtu.be/RyOFDfpjR9U #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BehaviouralEconomics

It’s bin day. Since the bins were emptied this morning there’s been a dog poo bag in the middle of the closet, that’s obviously not survived the journey from bin to bin lorry. There are two houses with dogs whose bin it could have come from. Not expecting either of them to pick it up though.

Meta thinks comments about violent threats are ok. Of course it does. This comment doesn’t break their community guidelines:

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws". www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Why is BBC Radio 6 Music News giving so much time to right wing opinions? I don’t give a shit what selfish billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has to say about the state of the country when he’s part of the problem and wants to make it worse. News bulletins are so jarring. I hate it.

Ed Sheeran defender “journalist”. I returned the block, having not returned the follow.

Screenshot of post (deleted) by darkdayusa-uk.bsky.social

It appears that nowhere is untouched by politics these days. I sympathise with Sheeran; like many, he's worked hard to reach this point in his career, and now, because of rogue extremists, his life is on hold. I think he should join the anti-extremist brigade to stop what's happening.
