Ditto #Express and #Torygraph
“There’s no such thing as bad publicity so long as they spell your name right”
So; avoid inadvertently promoting those who provoke you.
They crave your reply, your disagreement. Don’t amplify them.

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent

🇺🇸 Hundreds of National Guard troops gathered Tuesday at an Army base near #Chicago, as #Trump’s threat to use an anti-insurrection law and send forces to more #US cities fuels debate over his powers.

#DeformAreCrooks and Lord Heseltine may be 92, but he knows what he’s on about and doesn’t resort to lies and misinformation. If only more Tories were like him they might not be in the mess they’re in now.

BBC Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social · 3h

“92-year-old Lord Heseltine is out of touch and deeply offensive to millions of voters.”

A Reform UK spokesperson responds to Lord Heseltine who described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'.

I definitely would have failed any possible PE test; no test was ever required.
Unless walking had been on the test. As a kid I walked everywhere; the whole family did. But agility? No.
So 👍

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social‬'s call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes

First Past the Post means millions of our votes make no difference to parliament. Add your name now to demand a fairer voting system

It only takes 30 seconds

1) Look at who owns most of the old print media.
2) The Tories put a lot of time and effort in to stuffing the top of the BBC TV “news” management with senior ‘conservatives’ & changing how the BBC is regulated. Trying to change this outside the normal cycle will be seen as political interference.

MI6 insiders slam Palestine Action ban as 'distraction' from real counter-terrorism

It seems everyone with any expertise on terrorism, including MI6, was against the Palestine Action ban - yet Labour proceeded anyway

I’m pinning a lot of hope on the concept that the next GE is still some years away. A lot can happen…

But… but it’s got Europe in its name 🙄
Which apparently is all that matters 😢
Can’t fight stupid and ideology with mere facts, as we discovered the hard way back in 2016.

On average, every 4 years, the ECHR stops the UK removing 1 foreign person.

They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this.

I've being saying "told you so" about Brexit for a decade. Don't let them do it to you again. Please listen this time.....
