reasons for a Recall Petition should be extended to include lying through 🦷 about public servants.

Why is a sitting MP allowed to openly lie outside House of Commons? Why aren’t there harsh sanctions? Wouldn’t there be greater trust in Politicians if they were truthful? Make MP lying a criminal offence.

R4Today interviewing Dan Naidle about Stamp Duty who advised it stopped people buying houses. Surely it’s the out of reach property prices that stop people buying a house?

The difference in engagement couldn’t be more different. Ukraine targeting infrastructure, power, and Russia targeting residential homes. Russians have no regard for life as displayed through the action of recruits pumped into the front assault as quickly as possible.

It always has been marginal, infinitesimally so. The industry knowledge of greenwashing is encyclopaedic

Astonishing, never seen Yusuf’s mouth stop flapping in a discussion, and he has a loud voice at a pitch that dominates. Reform are good at conflating for their own purposes. He actually stopped speaking and appeared to listen. Listening or not Polanski’s point came through loud & clear.

Didn't Victor Orban say he would leave EU, or was it NATO if Ukraine joined. DO IT.

Still can't grasp how or why it's ok for an MP to host a TV programme which spouts right wing propaganda, continually

Competition Regulator? There’s no competition, it’s a Monopoly for each water company.

Govts need to learn lobbying is done to support vested interests. Get independent advice from elsewhere. Carbon Capture Storage is another red herring.

Are these people uber wealthy and NEVER use or have had to use the NHS in any form? Batshit crazy stupid talk. If you don’t pay ‘em, they won’t work for NHS. You’ll need addition 150k work visas

unlike @mc00.bsky.social I suggest starting with +60's is insulting. Consider many in their 60's have only just reached retirement age and likely involved in social media through their children growing up, now in their late 30's early 40's. Perhaps the 75+ might be a more appropriate demographic.

It'd be great if Mar a Lago was severely punished by a cyclone. Dont some MAGA believe scientists control the weather? If only they did.

Unfortunately Reform dominated Council and it is widely known Reform promotes hatred of any non-white British. It's a licence for bastards to behave like bastards

A weird time to be a historian of multiculturalism, who grew up in Birmingham as one of a handful of white kids at school, who has also written a book on Handsworth. My thoughts on Robert Jenrick’s unabashed racism in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

7 of 9 planetary boundaries now crossed, most shockingly so. Only Planetary conditions human population has known and been conducive for our food production permitting population growth, is being destroyed by the very species requiring it for existence. Fcking stupidity of actions.

There are reasons for some areas with large ethnic populations. Why do Tories think every brown or black face needs a corresponding white one to prove diversity Integration? Great answer in Quora on Bradford and ethnic minority areas of the city which is very positive www.quora.com/What-is-the-...

In the early 2010s it was infuriating to see endless screeds on "legitimate concerns" against East Europeans from analysts and scholars who seemed oblivious to how the moment political leaders capitulated to this xenophobia it would just lead to escalating hatemongering against other diasporas

It was inevitable that “too many people speaking Polish” Brexitism would become outright “too many brown people”

And it’s what people like Gove, David Davis and Johnson enabled
