Reform are spending a lot of money on bots to repeatedly post comments about how Hannah Spencer (the Green candidate for the Gorton by election) is married to a millionaire big pharma director.

She isn't even married at all.

Reform are very worried and plowing a lot of money into misinformation.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

When the interior ministry declares its militia to be above the law in terms that equate dissent with treason there really isn’t any question of whether or not we are looking at an authoritarian regime.

British police have killed fewer people in the last 100 years than American police kill in an average month.

Policing in America is an ongoing tragedy.

The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death.

They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

Trump demands that the UK allows American chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated meat into its supermarkets.

UK already agreed to pay more for US drugs, reduced tax on private equity managers, considering cutting tax on tech companies.

'Tacking back control', someone said.

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Beto scored goals last season with Moyes because we were playing counter attacking football that gave him room to make runs behind opposition defences. That's how he scores goals, so we either play early balls and get him scoring or play patient football that doesn't create chances for anyone...

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.
