French pharmacies run out of Covid tests as cases soar.

Up to 150,000 COVID ‘auto-tests’ were sold last week amid a surge linked to the new XFG variant.

Self-tests give results in 15 mins but are only ~70% accurate, meaning 3 in 10 positive cases could be missed.

I think it's fair to suggest that anyone claiming that a British city established by the Romans specifically for access by ship, and that eventually became the hub of a global empire, has recently become "multicultural" is talking bollocks.

More of this, please!

Also, why the effing Hell is the UK government funding Elon and his fascist buddies?

UK Government:

* Get all departments off Twitter
* Stop Tesla entering our energy market
* Get Palantir out of government services
* Don't use SpaceX

Elon Musk labelled ‘dangerous person’ by Ed Miliband

He accused Reform UK of attempting to import a ‘US-style culture war’

I was part of a team @theguardian.com that spent much of the past year investigating a sprawling network of far-right groups on Facebook.

Far-right Facebook groups are engine of radicalisation in UK, data investigation suggests

Rioters were influenced by network that exposes hundreds of thousands of Britons to racist disinformation, Guardian research indicates

Attended the Stand Up To Racism #SUTR counter demonstration to the right wing mob's "protest" in #Southsea #Portsmouth.

Very interesting "Elon's Musketeers" sign.

Perhaps "Elon's Brownshirts" might be more accurate?

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

The patriotic case for diversity would be honesty.
Honesty about govt failure to invest in public services. Honesty about Brexit. Honesty about labour shortages. Honesty about the contribution of immigration.
Just tell the fucking truth and shame the racists for the harm they do.

If you’re feeling scared or worried right now, you’re not alone - but that’s what they want. DON’T them win.

It’s billionaires, not our neighbours, that are to blame for our problems.

We need 300 new regular donors so we can tell the world. Are you in?
