Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

"As of writing, Tesla has at least $48.39 billion in debt.

However, Musk has also used his Tesla stock as collateral for SpaceX, Twitter, and Tesla loans. Before he bought Twitter, over half of his shares were collateralised; now, that figure is far, far higher."
Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.
This Is How Tesla Will Die
The vultures are circling the tech giant.

A Labour spokesperson, on Reform new economic plans: "Farage says he is offering something new - but for all his talk, his plan would take us back to austerity.

"We’ve seen [Reform councils have] failed to deliver the savings they already promised & are cutting services & raising taxes as a result"

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

Every flag left flying and every case quietly dropped tells extremists they’re winning. The authorities’ fear has become the far right’s fuel – and it’s ordinary people who pay the price. Read Peter Thurlow's analysis ⤵️

Government, councils and police: all scared to act as far right run riot
Violent mobs try to intimidate with their flags, while we wonder what those in charge are doing about it

That video posted by someone who knew full well they were separate facilities has already sparked protests

Kids taken out of the school

And now the Daily Mail fans those flames.

The English classes have now been moved to protect the school from more trouble by the forever enraged crowd.

No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach “adult migrants”

Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?🙄

I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter

Now the DM are on it, let’s go again!

Not sure many people have clocked just how big a deal Wales' new voting system is.

It's a 'pure' PR, closed party list - which means no one will be able to pick candidates. Except party HQs. It's a grim fudge few wanted

Caerphilly will have been the last ever Senedd by-election too, if it sticks.
Closed Lists were a misstep, cross-party STV bill would put the Senedd back on track
Wales stands at an important crossroads in its democratic journey. ERS Cymru has developed a proposal to change the way we elect members of the Senedd, replacing the planned closed-list

So Greg Hands, former 🇬🇧 Tory MP, is not happy with 🇩🇪's EasyPASS-RTP (registered traveller programme). Nationals from third countries such as the 🇬🇧 & the 🇺🇸 that have an agreement with 🇩🇪 can pre-register and use the e-Gates. If they don't they have to use the 'naughty queue'.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

BREAKING NEWS 📢🥳🎉

The Vegan Land Movement just removed a 9th area of land from dairy farming & monoculture grazing. This land will never be used to farm animals again & will become a safe haven for struggling wild species. 🥳

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

Oakeshott used to live in this street in Charlbury in the Cotswolds.

You couldn't get a more genteel place – a very long way from immigration or deprivation or anything else she'd object to.
