Angry old woman, railing at the parlous state of the world. That was my profile way back when. Seems a little inadequate now. Can’t access DMs due to silly govt regs.

Are you thinking "TFI Friday"? Well in Ukraine it's just another day of lying in a trench, piloting a drone, evacuating hot spots, treating the wounded, or trying to keep the family safe.

And it's Day 1325 of this, following another night of little sleep for Kyiv. Here's the🧵

Now live to the White House, where Donald Trump's just woken to be told the news a Venezuelan won the Nobel Peace Prize.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.
SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

I’ve signed up for two #NoKings events on 18 October. Anyone want to give me some witty or eye catching ideas for a slogan or picture on my placard? Or, can anyone tell me how to get a baby Trump balloon?

It's not just your immediate electricity bills. Data centers disrupt the wave forms of the AC power, wearing your appliances out faster. Tariffs are making appliances more expensive. It hits your wallet in every direction

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet.

If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 — outranked only by China, India, and the U.S.

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring
Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Michael Heseltine tells @europeanmovement.co.uk event that the Farage's Reform and European populist far right parties are “equivalents to the fascists of the thirties” and adds: ”We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. We don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near No.10.” ~AA 🔥

@Peston
Heseltine has just addressed a packed meeting of the European Movement at Tory conference.  He does not show the restraint of most party leaders in his critique of Farage and Reform: “right wing equivalents to the fascists of the thirties are back on the march: Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, Fdl in Italy, Vox in Spain and conspicuously Reform in this country. Much of President Trump's language in America coincides with words here in Europe. The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem which needs a solution although recent events here have cast a dark shadow…We must make clear that we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Nigel Farage. We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. we don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near Number 10.”

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

It seems something may have happened in St Petersburg and Leningrad region.

An awful lot of train delays and rerouting due to a "technical issue."

There has been sabotage here before.

The Tories are now just going full GOP/MAGA with their lies. It’s like they’re ‘raging at the dying of the light’ or something.

Jenrick's "team have compiled and passed to the Telegraph a mega dossier of 35 judges he reckons have “pro-migration bias” — and he wants to sack ‘em all"

This is a Trump tribute act. Dangerous "enemy of the people" stuff here.
