Unless GB News becomes as successful as Fox News (and BBC/ITV/Channel 4 disappear), #Reform UK will never break the 40% ceiling and will never govern.
#Populism absolutely relies on lies and disinformation. The appalling and woeful US media allowed it, but the British media won’t

Come on @ASCO, it’s time to speak out and condemn what is happening at the #CDC and department of health and human services under RFK Jr. It’s not just US public health & scientific research at risk here - there are global consequences & implications. #medtwitter #medonc #radonc #ASCO

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

What about the crisis in US CDC and public health. This has global repercussions and you need to be showing leadership on the international stage.

Clive Peedell @drpeedell.bsky.social · Aug 28

Is the faculty going to condemn what is going on in the US #CDC under RFK Jr leadership? This is a public health emergency and you should be speaking out @fphuk.bsky.social

I’m British, but the US mid-term elections will be the most consequential in my lifetime. If #Trump consolidates power then a US authoritarian autocracy is nailed on. A disaster for the US and the entire world.

Why has #Elon #Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to try and deport himself?

Did Musk not realize he was just paying to keep Trump out of prison?

This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

The other 6 #G7 leaders should demand that #Trump publicly apologizes for his mistake on blaming @JustinTrudeau for Russia’s expulsion from the #G8. Stephen Harper was the Prime Minister at the time. Trump is a dangerous Russian asset

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo.

Who and what do you see at the center.

This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Congrats, Bob!
The fans deserve it. Great for Premier League to have such a big club back. Lots of new players needed, though. That wasn’t a great performance 🤦‍♂️. Courage got them through!
