When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

Plant-rich diets are the food system's electrification. Petrol cars only see 18-25% of their fuel energy get to the wheels; EVs 87-91%. Heat pumps are 2 or 3 times more efficient. Food has its own combustion engine: a chicken turns about 13% of its feed calories into food, worse than a petrol car.

We did a mini #cycletour in #Dorset, 1 night camp stop, 70 miles in 2 days. Unexpectedly we stayed dry. Fab way to see the beautiful Dorset villages and cafes

Looks like the end of summer is nearly here, our grapes are just about ripe enough to eat, the leaves are starting to turn and the nights are drawing in. No autumnal chill yet though, won't be long

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

The country has been damaged due to lies and misinformation, spread by media (hence the need for media reform) but mostly by politicians and right wing pundits.

A reminder
As you hear the latest news of Tory greed and corruption from the Covid inquiry, don’t forget that we had THREE pandemic preparedness exercises, the biggest, exercise Cygnus, in 2016. 

Findings showed the UK was scarily unprepared for a pandemic. The Tories didn’t just fail to act on the findings they refused to fully participate in the exercise including making life or death decisions. 

Ultimately, they favoured ideological austerity over replenishing stockpiles. Four years later Covid hit and instead of acting fast they thought about how their donors and mates could profit as our NHS workers used fucking BIN BAGS while attending to patients. 

To add insult to injury the fuckers partied and got coked off their tits in Westminster as millions died and suffered in isolation.

Never forget what those scumbags did.

Nigel Farage just said the UK was better in the 1950's In the 1950's the Government owned Gas, Oil, Rail, Power, Steel, Telecoms, Mail, Shipbuilding, Airports, Social Housing, Care Homes (Children and Adults), Schools, Hospitals... And built 300,000 Council Houses a year.

There are 23.5 million 18-49 year olds in the U.K. and 22 million over 50s. Less than 50% of 18-49 year olds have been turning out to vote whereas 75% of over 50s generally do. This is why the country looks how it does. We need to get young people voting.

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.
A victorious Andy Burnham MP (24,937 votes), as the result of the Makerfield by-election is announced, flanked by defeated candidates Count Binface (a bloke in a vaguely sci-fi costume with a large bin for a helmet; 95 votes) and Robert Pownall (who is in a full body fox costume, holding a sign reading "Protect British Wildlife"; 18 votes). There are some other candidates there just out of shot but that's not important right now.

Half of UK welfare is pensions, 1 in 3 people on Universal Credit are in work, disabled people are disabled, more of them since Covid hit, but the welfare bill as % of GDP is stable (lower than most developed countries) and is forecast to stay stable and below OECD average for the next 5 years.
Chart from the Resolution Foundation of Social security spending as a proportion of GDP by category, Great Britain. The chart from 2007-2008 shows social security spending falling since 2013 from a peak in 2008-2009, pensions rising to account for the biggest share, and disability and incapacity spending rising in the post-Covid years from 2023.

Can't recall a recent video that better captures Trump's essence. Misogynist goon sweatily belches out egregious lies to a woman reporter, insults and berates her when she asks for evidence, then storms off in anger, all while his spray-tan slowly slides down his face.

If Starmer goes it will be five PMs in four years. Unprecedented?! No. The post pandemic, inflationary 1920s saw a new challenger party, and a tousled haired, lecherous, corrupt leader succeeded by a burst of PMs. Five PMs… from three parties …. in two years and a month.
