@narindertweets Farage represents the best hope of the billionaire elite to continue the destructive work of the Tories and Labour. Those in control of world affairs thrive on human misery; hence they want more of the same. The only way to fight this is to vote Green.

The Reckoning Comes on 7 May Labour is about to lose its cities. The Greens are the reason why. On 7 May 2026, something is going to happen in British politics that the commentariat has been too timid to say plainly: the Labour Party is going to be evicted from the cities it has occupied for decades, not by the right, but by the left it abandoned. open.substack.com/pub/europeanpo…

@mehdirhasan "Off of"? You need to return to the UK.

This would be a two or three week news story in a previous administration, and might even lead to the resignation of the defense secretary. He literally fabricated a Biblical quote, based off of a movie, while pretending to be a pious Christian. But under Trump, we’ll have moved on by tomorrow.

Honestly, no— this isn’t okay Maintenance needs to take this seriously—those are far too many loose screws on this Lion Air Boeing 737-800 flying from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

No. No. NO. And also - NO. Never. The UK must not in any way subject its national security to a genocidal ethnostate. However friendly it may appear, it is not our friend. It is a menace.

@plzcallmechrist I read often and prefer the hardback. Don't assume you speak for everyone. You don't.

No one, who actually reads often, prefers hardbacks.

@DoctorLemma Ask me 2 weeks ago if this is genuine, I would have said yes. After the comical shambles of Artemis, I'm now doubtful.

For nine years, an astronomer begged NASA to turn a spacecraft around and take a single photograph. When they finally agreed, the planet it photographed was smaller than a pixel. The astronomer was Carl Sagan. The spacecraft was Voyager 1, launched in 1977 to study Jupiter and Saturn. By 1981, it had done its job and was heading for the edge of the solar system at 38,000 miles per hour. Sagan wanted it to look back once. He knew the photo would have almost no scientific value. Earth from that distance would be a speck. That was exactly the point. NASA worried. The Sun was still close enough to fry Voyager’s camera sensor if they pointed it the wrong way. Other missions kept getting priority. The years ticked by. Sagan kept pushing. They finally said yes. On 14 February 1990, roughly 6 billion kilometres from home, Voyager 1 turned its camera around and took 60 photos of the solar system. One of them captured Earth as a tiny dot caught in a stray beam of scattered sunlight. That single image became known as the Pale Blue Dot. The entire planet, every person who has ever lived, every war, every love story, every sunrise, was 0.12 pixels wide. Thirty-four minutes later, Voyager 1 powered off its cameras forever to save energy for the long journey ahead. It has never taken another picture. Sagan later wrote a book about that single pixel and called it Pale Blue Dot. He died two years after it was published. Voyager 1 is still going. It’s now over 24 billion kilometres away, the furthest human-made object in existence, still sending back faint signals from interstellar space. Does that dot make you feel insignificant, or does it make everything on it feel more precious?

@BareLeft 'Should' ought to be will. Tragic that it's only 'should'. Israel runs the UK.

Should be a huge story that forces resignations at the highest level in the UK Government. Absolute silence from the UK media. Utterly corrupt and complicit in genocide and ethnic cleansing for Apartheid Israel. Typically disgusting behaviour from our ruling classes.

@Kearney3Mr Is it for eating, or some kind of insertion?

Just been to Waitrose and I'm shocked at the price of a Mars bar, and I'm sure they're getting smaller!

@iamufohunter Half-human, whatever it is.

Can someone explain wtf is this creature ?

@GlobalIJournal Punctuality isn't China's strong point?

🇨🇳 Chinese lawyer Victor Gao: China possesses all the Epstein files. Everyone related to the Epstein files, including the evils of the U.S.-Israel dirty dealings, must be revealed, or China will disclose them.

If the #JCB Family of Multi-Millionaires are so hard up to pay proper Inheritance Taxes, why are they able to donate SO MUCH MONEY to #Reform Party? Oh ... so they have expectations of #Reform helping out the Multi-Millionaires? Right. Noted. "Party of the People", eh?

@francesafetytra Inspired by the Philadelphia experiment.

What would you call this "sculpture" ?

There is a small Suffolk village called Lavenham. Population approximately 1,700. It contains one of the most extraordinary parish churches in England: a tower 141 feet high, fan vaulting, carved stone screens, the kind of medieval splendour you would expect to find in a cathedral city. In 1525, Lavenham was the fourteenth wealthiest town in England. It was wealthy because of wool. Between 1250 and 1500, the English wool trade was the backbone of the entire national economy. Edward I financed his wars with it. Edward III built his Hundred Years' War on it. The Lord High Chancellor still sits on a sack of wool in the House of Lords because the wool was so important that the symbol of state authority is, literally, a bag of it. Yorkshire abbeys ran herds of 14,000, 18,000 sheep. The Cotswolds, the Lakes, the South Downs, East Anglia: every region with grass and a hill became wool country. The fleeces went to Flanders and Italy where they were woven into the finest cloth in Europe. The money came back in cartloads. And the men who made the money built churches. Lavenham, Long Melford, Northleach, Cirencester, Chipping Campden. Stone the local economy could not possibly have afforded under any other industry. "I praise God and ever shall," reads the inscription a wool merchant had carved on his window. "It is the sheep hath paid for all." Then it ended. Spanish merino arrived in the sixteenth century. The Industrial Revolution moved value into finished cloth rather than raw wool. New Zealand and Australia, with vastly cheaper land, undercut British producers. And then synthetic fibres arrived. Nylon in 1935. Polyester in 1941. Acrylic in 1950. By the 1970s, your jumper was no longer made from a sheep that had eaten grass on a Yorkshire fell. It was made from petroleum that had been refined in a chemical plant, extruded into thread, and dyed with industrial pigments that would persist in the environment indefinitely. The replacement was, by every measure that mattered to a wool merchant of 1500, a downgrade. Synthetic fibres do not breathe. They do not insulate when wet. They build static electricity. They shed microplastics into the wash water. They cannot be composted. They will outlive the wearer by approximately five hundred years. They are, however, cheap. And the Yorkshire mills closed. The Cotswold villages emptied of weavers. British wool, which had built more cathedrals than any other industry in English history, became, by the 2010s, worth less per kilogram than the cost of shearing the sheep. Farmers were burning fleeces because nobody would pay for them. You can still see what wool built. Walk into Lavenham church. Stand under the tower. Then look at the polyester fleece you are wearing. That is what came after.

@robprogressive The assault on small businesses isn't confined to the UK. Expensive licences / rigorous regulations / delays in corporate admin / blocked payments for goods / difficult employee conditions ... the corrupt corporates want to take over, and make it obvious.

50% of UK adults smoked 35 years ago The government wanted to reduce it, so they dramatically increased taxes & regulations It worked. Now only 10.6% of UK adults smoke Today, they’re increasing taxes & regulations, making it WAY harder to run a business If that approach wiped out smoking, are they trying to do the same to entrepreneurship & wealth in the UK? They say they support small business, but it feels like they treat it the same way they treated smoking. But smoking was a cancer & small business is the lifeblood of the U.K. Make it make sense

@AshtonForbes How many have minds capable of going insane? I think those who possess - and use - brain cells seriously overestimate the mindset of the majority.

They’re doing this alien stuff because they have no idea how to disclose black project technology so mind bending people would go insane. Hard to explain why we’ve been hiding free energy and spacetime manipulation technology.

@ohhanxiety Poisonous junk food.

Can you name one thing the USA gave to the world?

@PeterStefanovi2 Those 'bosses' are likely connected to child sex trafficking rings.

@TellMamaUK Until it's known who the culprits are, it can't be labelled antisemitic. We all know Israel carries out false flag attacks. Why did the ambulances incident get dropped so quickly and thoroughly?

Just NOT acceptable. British Jews are NOT responsible for what is happening in the Middle East, nor do they have any opportunity to change things. Like all of us, they deserve to live free from fear. Attacks like this are antisemitic - pure and simple. They must be wholly rejected by us all and there is no justification whatsoever.

@theiaincameron Excitement. You had conversation, and that's probably more than most have.

Last night my wife and I tried to come up with all the ways in which ‘ough’ can be pronounced. 1. rough (uff) 2. through (oo) 3. thought (aw) 4. plough (ow) 5. cough (off) 6. though (oh) 7. thorough (uh) 8. hiccough (up) 9. lough (och) Non-stop excitement in our house, clearly.
