@indiawhiteguy @TheCanaryUK that's not how I read it. And your migrant stats are grossly misleading too. But you know that.

@TheCanaryUK 40% of Bangladeshi and Pakistani migrants dont work. 55% of Somali and Afgan migrants dont work. The list goes on. This narrative that every migrants comes here to prop up the NHS is bullshit!!

This gentleman gets it!

@tomhfh I should have added another useful statistic, Tom. Hours worked per capita: in USA about 1800 p/a UK and France about 1500 Germany about 1350 add that into the mix and recalculate GDP per hour worked - USA falls yet further behind. Then add the cost of healthcare OMG..'nuff said

@tomhfh Look again - strip out top 2% of wealth holders across USA and big European nations and adjust for Purchasing Power Parity (USD by most measures approx 20% overvalued against Euro) Germany $53.6k USA $53.2k UK $49.2k The Musk's distort the figures, pal. Do your homework.

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.

@bo_jolais @ZackPolanski noted, but you omitted to state why B52's were allowed to be armed and launched from UK territory. What's the point in broadcasting your opinion if you run away from your audience, Bo. So very silly

@Rowlandz10 @ZackPolanski Allowing B-52 bombers to be armed and launched from UK soil while using our own aircraft to carry out recon flights is a little more than "protecting friendly nations from drone attacks".

A member of the government comes clean. The idea Starmer has ‘kept Britain out of this illegal war’ has been a lie.

@bo_jolais @ZackPolanski Polanski hopes to negatively frame a narrative as Starter-UK gov aligned with Trump's war. This is absolute nonsense. Protecting friendly nations from drone attacks is NOT what Polanski wishes to imply - regardless of Iran's justified or otherwise response. It's odious clickbait.

@Rowlandz10 @ZackPolanski Hi Rowlands, you seem to be having trouble understanding the post. Allow me to help. The opposing viewpoint is 'we, the UK, shouldn't be involved in this attack on Iran'. And secondly, 'the government is lying when they say we are not involved'.

@SteveSmith_cam yup - an absolute POS the embodiment of all that's wrong in UK politics. In another age he'd be ridiculed for his performative acts of cruelty (think, painting over refugee kids murals) - now cruises in the mainstream. Overton Window has lot to answer for (as sponsored by BBC)

millionaire begrudges underpriveleged families a discount on taking their children to cultural venues that would benefit their education just so people like him can line their pockets further greedy selfish piece of shit just like tories before him who charged for museums

@SamaHoole honestly, Sama, I'm baffled by this. Most peanut butters are just peanuts. No need to add extra oil, there's plenty there - if you've ever made your own that much obvious. Respect for your farming views, excellent and entertaining - however the lineolic acid stuff - cod science.

Peanut butter. Gym culture decided it was a protein food. It is not a protein food. It is a fat food, which would be fine, except the fat is terrible. - Two tablespoons: 8g protein, 16g fat: it's a fat source pretending to carry protein credentials - The fat is predominantly linoleic acid: omega-6 PUFA, the same class of fat being stripped from the diet by anyone paying attention to seed oils - Linoleic acid consumed in a concentrated fat source daily contributes directly to the omega-6/omega-3 imbalance now associated with systemic inflammation - Peanuts are legumes, not nuts: full anti-nutrient profile: lectins, phytic acid, measurable aflatoxin contamination from Aspergillus mould - Aflatoxin is a potent mycotoxin; peanut butter is one of the most consistently contaminated grocery staples in testing - Incomplete amino acid profile, poor digestibility score relative to animal protein - Most commercial varieties contain added seed oil: frequently more linoleic acid on top of the linoleic acid already there - Peanut allergy is the most common cause of fatal anaphylaxis from food in the UK So: not meaningfully useful as a protein source. Not a good fat source. Moderate anti-nutrient load. Contamination risk. Allergen risk. The jar has a picture of a muscular arm on it. The marketing is doing considerably more work than the peanut.

@Microinteracti1 @Pro__Trading just to be clear - the theocratic thugs of Iran deserve no support, the people of Iran, however, do.

@Microinteracti1 @Pro__Trading what's likely happened is China and Pakistan have whispered, 'listen Iran - the man's an imbecile, we know that, you know that 99.9% of the world knows that'. He'll either be impeached or removed post mid-terms. Hang on til then, no point martyring Iran to a clearly sick man.

UPDATE: Iran has AGREED to open the Strait for two weeks. Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground. Wow.

@Agata25A @SamaHoole surely this not the correct way to see this. If the goal is weight reduction then calorie deficit (accounting for activity) is really the only way to achieve this. It's more nuanced than healthy vs unhealthy. As a permanent solution probably not recommended by nutritionists

@SamaHoole I'm losing weight only if I'm in calorie deficit. About 1400 calories, woman, mid 40s. I can easily function , because my stomach shrinks. But still, it's not easy to get into the shrink mode Thinking that this calorie amount is just wrong but considered "healthy", eye opening

In 1944, Ancel Keys recruited 36 volunteers for what would become the most detailed study of human starvation ever conducted. The men were young. Physically active. Conscientious objectors who chose scientific service over combat. They walked. They did light physical work. They lived in a dormitory and were monitored around the clock. Keys wanted to understand what famine did to the human body, so he could help post-war Europe recover from it. So he starved them. Not severely. Carefully. Scientifically. He reduced their intake to roughly half of what they'd been eating, and watched. Their body temperature dropped. Their heart rate dropped. Their hair thinned. They became obsessed with food in a way that the researchers described as consuming every waking thought. They cut their portions into tiny pieces to make meals last longer. They read cookbooks for pleasure. They dreamed about eating. Several developed serious psychological symptoms. One man, in a moment of crisis, amputated three of his own fingers with a hatchet. The researchers concluded, reasonably, that these men were experiencing the physiological and psychological consequences of starvation. Now. Here's what they were eating. Roughly 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. Take a moment with that. 1,500 to 1,800 calories. The range that MyFitnessPal suggests for a man trying to "lose weight at a moderate pace." The number the NHS calculator produces for a sedentary adult male in a deficit. The target that appears, without comment, on meal plan templates across the internet. The calorie range that produced psychological collapse, metabolic shutdown, and a man taking a hatchet to his own hand is the same calorie range we're now distributing as dieting advice. But here is where it gets worse. Those men were burning far more energy than the average modern adult. They were a pre-industrial generation of young, lean, physically active men whose resting metabolic rate would make a 2026 office worker look like he's in hibernation. They were running hot. And at 1,800 calories, they fell apart. The modern adult is not running hot. Decades of seed oil consumption have done something to the human metabolism that the Keys volunteers never experienced. Linoleic acid, the dominant fatty acid in seed oils, incorporates into cell membranes and mitochondria. Animal research and emerging human data suggest it suppresses fat oxidation, reduces body temperature, impairs the mitochondrial machinery that keeps a metabolism firing. The modern body stores more and burns less not because it's lazy but because the fuel it's been given has quietly replaced the components that made burning efficient. So we have a population with a suppressed metabolism eating the calorie range that destroyed psychologically healthy, physically active men in a controlled experiment. And we're calling it a lifestyle change. The men in Minnesota were experiencing starvation. We've just renamed it.

@LizWebsterSBF @khawarmalik90 your reply is as close to the dictionary definition of 'gaslighting' as it gets.

@LizWebsterSBF @khawarmalik90 absolute nonsense and well you know this. I'd honestly believed your account held to a higher standard than tired hostile swipes at Labour, more specifically, Starmer (of whom I'm no big fan) but clearly was naive. Are you simply a pro-EU Tory with the usual anti-left baggage?

Starmer’s spin on EU Brexit reset is as disingenuous as his spin on Trump’s war. In UK 🇬🇧 the Brexit reset is presented as progressing rapidly. Fear-mongering bonkers stories about losing Brexit freedoms continue apace in GB press. 🇪🇺 But in the EU, the Brexit reset is seen as vague, piecemeal cherry picking and not offering much in return. They’re not rushing to agree, they’re waiting for the UK to be clear about what it actually wants. 🧵

@SamaHoole @fffffjjjvvvyy I live in France. Every single supermarket, every market place, street corner stalls and more sell boxes of oysters over Christmas (and at other times). True, there's occasional food poisoning (Michael Winner RIP) yet >1 billion consumed annually with vanishingly few ill effects

@fffffjjjvvvyy No one’s eating oysters to be fancy… apart from every restaurant that serves them on crushed ice with a dress code and a £4-per-bite price tag. Proper humble survival food, that.

Oysters. The food that filter-feeds through whatever water it happens to be living in, concentrating heavy metals, bacteria, agricultural runoff, and raw sewage into a small grey blob of uncertain texture. And we serve them raw on ice and call it fine dining. The oyster is not a delicacy. The oyster is a water treatment system. You are eating the sewage filter and telling your date it tastes like the sea. It does taste like the sea. That's the problem.

@HughEdw31897368 Goodall failing to acknowledge elephant in the room (and he's sitting on it). KS's unpopularity as much a function of voices like Goodall as Kier shortcomings. He turned the volume up for the Mail, Express etc. Polls measure THEIR success - not Starmer failure. He does know this.

The arrogance of Lewis Goodall. Claims he did lots of programmes criticising Johnson and Truss. I don't recall a one hour hatchet job for Channel 4 Dispatches or any other mainstream broadcasters.

@kirstidrewsen @Microinteracti1 @EricLDaugh absolutely - a truly silly post from an otherwise good writer

@Microinteracti1 @EricLDaugh That's not correct, and you know it. People had all kinds of reasons to emigrate to America. Wars. Famine. Persecution for political reasons. Persecution for their religion. Many jews fled for their life. And between all of them were loosers. Some of the looses stayed. 😉🫢🤓

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump EVISCERATES useless NATO allies, saying they FAILED his test “We’ve had some very bad allies in NATO... we had some asks, we spend trillions of dollars on NATO...I was really asking because I wanted to see what they'd do!”

@MykelVSmith @standforhealth1 Europe does. Including Glyphosate. It's still widely used in agriculture although no longer sold to retail consumers. This also applies to many herbicides and pesticides. I live in Europe btw.

@standforhealth1 Europe doesn't allow any chemical crap on their crops! But Lobbyists pay to kill Americans, with our tax dollars too... SOOOOO OVER THEIR SHIT!!! We need an insurrection NOW!

Thomas Massie is sounding the alarm. Congress is on the brink of passing a liability shield for pesticide companies, like Bayer, who give Americans cancer. Bayer is a foreign company, but Congress wants to give them total immunity to mass poison Americans with glyphosate. “This is not to grant farmers’ immunity.” “This is to grant the corporations immunity.” “If farmers contract a form of cancer or non-Hodgson’s lymphoma from this chemical, if this makes it into the Farm Bill, you won’t be able to sue for that.” This liability shield would be a complete betrayal of the MAHA movement. But House Republicans are on the brink of passing it anyway, and President Trump is urging them to do it. There is still time to fight back. We need all hands on deck to stop this. Here’s how you can take action: Use the link below for a step-by-step guide to urge Congress to remove Sections 10205, 10206, 10207 and portions of 10201 from the Farm Bill in order to preserve Americans’ right to sue pesticide companies when their products poison us:🧵 @RepThomasMassie

@OmairHamee98973 @FurkanGozukara was thinking exactly that. Otherwise relevant news starting to dress up as clickbait. A bit counter productive

@FurkanGozukara Too much of bombshell stories. Varying from bombshell to absolute bombshell. Bombshell will lose its meaning soon. Try using breaking news/ New development. Senators at this point aren't imp since Trump bypasses everyone. Also we all know Israel/Bibi's been sabotagin✌🏼process

Absolute bombshell on live TV. US Senator Chris Coons confirms Israel intentionally assassinated the exact Iranian leader the Trump Administration was trying to negotiate peace with. Israel deliberately sabotaged diplomacy to trap Washington in an endless war.

@Whitmore03David @PrfChrisPainter @lewis_goodall true, yet perversely it allowed Johnson to carry on with his agenda. Charisma is an asset - but doesn't discriminate between good or bad. Regrettably Farage, like it or not, also has 'it' and carries Reform on his (crooked) back

@Rowlandz10 @PrfChrisPainter @lewis_goodall Johnson has charisma, look where that lead.

Working with same material/evidence as @lewis_goodall but very different presentation of the case. And this before Starmer resisted intense pressure to join Trump's wars. Keir Starmer’s Labour Government Is Much Better Than the Media Admits – Byline Times share.google/ILzvhzJwXKTgTg…
