🚨 BREAKING: Russia has just sentenced five climate activists to a whopping 21 years in prison for a PEACEFUL protest. Oh, wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.

I'm used to traveling around Europe by public transport. But haven't seen a contrast quite like paying €2.90 in Sardinia for bus & train to get from the apartment to the airport, vs. having to pay £20 to get home on the train in the UK. Wasn't some scrappy 20yo train either.

Content moderation on this hell site is non-existent. Reported 2 posts for using pretty abhorrent slurs - things that would get you fired for saying in a workplace to a colleague - but apparently 'X' didn't find any problem. I suspect that if you're a blue tick you're shielded

If this system is going to deliver *25 years straight* of pain and plummeting standards for most people before it can improve, then a national calamity like that requires a more detailed explanation than “The Tories spent recklessly”.

Very much enjoying my morning of not having been up trying to apply for Oasis tickets. What ruined Oasis for me was having been a musician in 90s - 00s and having to play shows with so many dogsh!t Oasis copycat weekend rockstar bands with obnoxious singers.

I don't know about you, but having to work until I'm 68 would actually increase my misery quite considerably "Don't raise taxes on the rich, raise the retirement age for everybody else" say the mouthpieces of the rich

I get why the Labour Right loves their 'we're not a party of protest' line, but it doesn't actually make sense once you've formed a government & its your policies being protested.

The problem with those mobile games Royal Match and Royal Kingdom is that, as an anti-monarchist I don't want to save the King. I ain't matching those gems - let the dragon eat him. There's an idea for the devs - create a Royal Match game where I we match gems to trap the king.

If anyone wants to understand what the UK and US did to the Chagos Islands, this (and part 2) Behind the Bastards episode just about covers it all youtu.be/efzS1Jc7TX0?si…

🚨 U Turn 🚨 Labour have today abandoned their promise to give workers the statutory right to “switch off” from work once their shift is done. They’ve removed it from the legislation.

Apparently it's been a "year of change" according to the PM.

100% this. So much tech in new cars sucks. Overly complicated and distracting. I don't care about what car I drive, so I'm extremely happy to be driving crappy old cars with simple dashboards.

Alastair Campbell and his boss Tony Blair increased UK weapons export licences to Putin by 550% as he destroyed Chechnya and made Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth. We are “not going to apologise for developing a good relationship with an important world leader,” Campbell

The meme about the R*form local election wins doing the rounds among die-hard Labour faithfuls is pure head-in-the-sand cope. Yes, we all know they have fewer council seats than most of the other parties, but thinking you can ignore the repercussions is arrogant centrist thinking

Labour is a mess. Authoritarian, abhorrent, immoral leadership who lack any ideas both domestically and internationally. To make things worse, the empty suit that is our PM will drag us into another Middle Eastern conflict as the good little lapdog of the US. But yeah, "change"

Whilst entire media & political class meltdown over rapper at Glastonbury. Worth reminding ourselves of what the IDF has been up to last 2 years:
