You can tell from this interview that Michael Jackson was a very peaceful person, I still don’t know what prompted Eminem to diss the king of pop like that

@UK_KayJay @SaulStaniforth @HackneyAbbott Borrowing more is fine so long as you invest it wisely and it can be paid off. Enacting Austerity 2.0 would be irresponsible and more costly for the country in the long run.
English
@DooDahBand @SaulStaniforth @HackneyAbbott A deficit is fine, providing the government do no overcommit on borrowing. Can it honestly be said the last 30 years of UK govs have exercised reponsible borrowing. They have overburdened future generations with massive taxes.

Cathy Newman: "... meanwhile the bond markets will go into a hissy fit"
@HackneyAbbott: "British politics & British parliament can't be run at the behest of the bond markets.. if the British govt is going to be completely dominated by the bond market MP's might as well go home"
English
@UK_KayJay @SaulStaniforth @HackneyAbbott Running a deficit is completely normal. The last time the government ran a surplus was actually under Labour which is kind of ironic
English
@SaulStaniforth @HackneyAbbott They could stop spending more than is being collected, then they would not need be so reliant on the bond markets, but not spending more money than the country can afford isn’t in the Labour Party playbook is it. It’s their own mess.

@arthistorynews So you want an even smaller minority to decide?
Labour members hardly get to pick their own MPs these days, they should at least get to pick their leader. There's got to be some semblance of democracy.

@communistpanda @breadandposes The official line is we are only there doing that

@DooDahBand @breadandposes Surely there would be no reason for him to have not disclosed that. As we all know, there’s only a few Brits out there assisting with training etc

Is he prepared to answer some honest questions about where he was between October 2023 and April 2024?

@river_dusty It's possible to care about more than one thing at once.

The #Michael movie uses CGI to portray Bubbles the chimpanzee, who has lived at the Center for Great Apes since 2005: • Now 43, Bubbles spends much of his time napping and helping raise the younger apes • The Jackson estate still helps fund his care • Lionsgate says it had “continuing constructive dialogue” with PETA and that the film is “not an endorsement” of keeping chimps as pets “So much more is known today about what chimpanzees and monkeys need to thrive, including freedom and the companionship of their peers, making film sets and human homes unacceptable for their wellbeing,” said PETA’s director of animals in film and television Lauren Thomasson. variety.com/2026/film/colu…

@PippaCrerar Why do these @thefabians morons not realise that people have (so far) free choice. Cap rents? Fuck you. I'll chuck the tenants out, sell up and move the cash to a Global Tracking Fund.

EXCL: Rachel Reeves is considering imposing one-year rent freeze on private sector homes amid growing alarm in government about impact of Iran war on voters’ budgets.
Landlords in England would be banned from raising rents for limited period of time under proposals, which are being debated by ministers as part of major cost of living package to be launched in coming weeks.

@talkng_tomyself @EricWilzon No I can believe that.
It's far more believable than your typical straight man saying such a thing.

@1997Bababa @theashleyray What if what he saw at some point with Epstein disturbed him to such an extent that he was thinking about the babies used by those criminals?
Because, according to what leaked from the Epstein files, Epstein's gallery didn't like Michael. 🤔
English
@N2NASHE He didn't stay away from kids because he was a creep who liked them.
Wild that you're trying to make this a race thing too.
English
I love MJ to death and believe he was innocent, but I wish he stayed tf away from children.. white ppl’s children at that. I wish he had more self awareness and actually carried himself like a mature adult. These accusations will likely haunt him until the end of time & it’s frustrating to see

"It’s very important to understand that Zack Polanski is simply meant to be the new Jeremy Corbyn. It’s almost like we’re seeing a revival of Momentum. Momentum tried to win in 2019 with Jeremy Corbyn. It’s not as if Momentum gave up and went away. If you’re serious about political power, obviously you don’t go, “Oh, we lost. We’re just going to go away forever.” You recalibrate. And that’s what they’ve done. They’ve decided that Zack Polanski is the one who can take it forward."

@DiomedesAauRa @HaroldRalp48395 @scotparent1012 Just as we have every right to call him ignorant.
It was never about an apology. Some people just want blood. The goalposts will continue to shift.

@Prettyangeltoo @scotparent1012 I don't think many people in the UK know what Cracker means regardless and it wouldn't upset white people in the way that the N word upsets black people.
English
@scotparent1012 But why is cracker not part of the language? Can anyone explain how Tourette's works? Does subconscious have some part in what comes out? Like also it sometimes can result in calling women offensive names as they are in front of them and the W word to someone annoying?

@DooDahBand @holdtotheground @maccashill From "Icke, Evelyn Hamann und die Beatles: Eine Art Biografie"! It's from 2018, so not too many people know about it

im of the camp that nothing did actually happen between them, but that john could not have been more obvious, and im sure w paul’s immovable heterosexuality, it scares him to admit that there was more there, particularly after john’s death and he thinks about what could have been
vico 🐦⬛@mybravefaces
mentioned you talk about “a lot of weird things” to your private circle that you can’t talk about because yoko is still alive and then immediately bringing up and denying john gay rumors was a insaneee choice
