Reform UK don't stand for the working class. They groom them, manipulate them. They are skinheads in suits who work for the billionaires.

They want to cut public services to the bone, and steal our hard earned community money.

They want us to fight each other.

Reform UK are the establishment.

National Trust Members.

It’s time to vote to keep the Faragists out.

Best not to split the vote.

Use the QUICK VOTE” link both for people and for motions.
Which reminds me, it's that time of year again for National Trust members to vote. The easiest way is to use the 'quick vote' to keep out the traditionalist 'Restore Trust' candidates. secure.cesvotes.com/V3-3-0/nt25/...

Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.

It doesn’t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.
Also known as ‘ Challenger’?

There's an AWS outage this morning impacting lots of services; it started around 07.30 UK time. People who use services like Alexa as their alarm clocks have just had a helpful reminder that using a device reliant on connectivity to carry out a task that doesn't need connectivity is not a good idea.
Also affecting ring cameras

Holy shit.

And now what for 5 Eyes? I’d seen a report (rumour?) that the US was going to quit the alliance…🤷‍♂️
Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin.
More European countries will follow.
