The #Reform Party has less than 10 MPs, yet cannot co-ordinate how they should vote on a policy in Parliament. Can you trust a party who can't even manage or organise just a handful of people? Mind you, #ToryFailures Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman aren't smart cookies, are they?

1. Noam Chomsky's response to the first tranche of Epstein docs - arrogant, high-handed, obfuscatory and, we now know, dishonest - reminded me of something: his response to my questions about genocide denial, 15 years ago. 🧵

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Mad to me that Nigel Farage can say all of Zack Polanski’s supporters are “heroin smokers” but it is made illegal to say that racists vote Reform.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

I think it is worth remembering that the Gaza Health Ministry’s number is based on those deaths they were able to confirm.

There are still those whose bodies have not been recovered.

The number of Palestinians killed is still not clear.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Reform’s choice in Gorton and Denton tells you everything you need to know

As an historian I often wonder how people learned nothing from the twentieth century and how we have fallen into the mess and rise of fascism yet again and here we are. People simply *don't care* that they are in a military alliance with and dependant on a fascist state when capitalism requires it.
So Polanski wants to leave NATO,cut Defence spend & distance ourselves from USA who we rely on for essential defence apparatus& intelligence.
Then the tariffs will rise our steel industry will collapse(even more essential for defence),car ìndustry collapse 1000's jobs lost,no £££ for public services

We are delighted that @bashhuk.bsky.social have decided to support our #SASsix campaign!

A lot of sexual health care is delivered by SAS doctors. Signposting a career for these doctors to achieve their potential is a vital part of supporting this workforce.

We look forward to working with you!

In recent months many new organisations have decided to support or endorse the #SASsix campaign.

Most recent was @bashhuk.bsky.social, who did so yesterday.

Like us, these organisations believe that supporting every doctor to achieve their potential is right for the workforce.

Could you be next?

I really do enjoy updating this slide.

Every new supporter gives me a little hope in the future. Nothing that the campaign stands for should be in any way controversial. Much of what it stands for is happening somewhere already, but rarely all in the same place at the same time.

I like being an anaesthetist on days like this.

Both @assocanaes.bsky.social and @rcoanews.bsky.social are well established on a lot of platforms.

The more folks realise that as users, WE get to decide which platforms should succeed, the better.
