Enquiring Mind
@Veracityscape
As a child in the 50s, I am told that I was always asking why, why, why ! Labelled, 'the boy with the enquiring mind', I am still asking the same question.

@omid9 “ . . . stands with us”
‘us’ suggests the whole Iranian population
I think not

@kazu_uracorona Ask yourself . . .
“Why is the sky not black in the daytime ? ”
At night, the unilluminated part of The Moon also blends with the sky as you put it
Ask yourself . . .
“Why do I never see stars there ? ”
Sometimes, this part is illuminated with Earthshine
If it was plasma ?

@emmacpicken You have a blind spot if you think there is a limit to the depravities of Man

@Veracityscape @steffd62 @JackWDart Doesn’t that presuppose Labour has a policy of establishing Freeports and SEZ’s? They’ve legislated the biggest increase in workers’ rights since the war, and this is all you can come up with?

From @JackWDart
To the Green Party and the Lib Dems, what on earth are you are doing?
You bring down Starmer, detonate the centre of government, and drag the country into another period of chaos, all while gambling on an early general election. And for what? Who gains from that? Farage does. He is the one waiting for exactly this kind of stupidity.
It is reckless, vain, and politically idiotic. Stop it.
To the Labour Party, get a grip, close ranks around Starmer, and get through this period. Take the local election battering that is coming and keep moving. Do not blow up your own government.
You still have three years of a huge mandate. That is three more years to keep repairing the damage, to keep turning the country around, and to keep improving people’s lives. The media will keep hammering you, and the political class will keep sneering, but Britain is in a better place under Labour than it was under the Tories. Could things be better? Definitely.
But, if Reform get their hands on power, you can say goodbye to the Britain we know. Look at the chaos Trump has unleashed in barely over a year back in office, the cruelty, the instability, the degradation of public life, and imagine that transplanted here. That is the road Farage wants to take this country down.
These are not normal times. Politics has changed, the old two-party order is breaking apart, and instability is no longer some distant threat hovering on the horizon. It is coming, and it will define the years ahead unless people stop acting so idiotically.

@RhonddaBryant The art of diplomacy includes the ability to ‘stand in your adversary’s shoes’
Putin expressed his concerns for years suggesting collaboration with The West
Acceptance of a neutral Ukraine would have saved lives and infrastructure
It was on the table
We preferred ‘their’ war
English

This man is dangerous. Putin has repeatedly attacked and invaded neighbours. Total casualties in Ukraine are running at c 2 m, with c 500,000 deaths. He’s regularly threatened the use of nuclear weapons. And he’s murdered his political opponents.

🚨 NEW: Zack Polanski suggests Donald Trump is worse than Vladimir Putin “As horrendous as Putin is… I’ve never seen him threaten genocide. I've never seen him threaten to wipe out a civilization… Starmer’s so-called special relationship is more of a danger than what Putin is doing in Ukraine” [@antoguerrera]

@ThesobhShow @PressTV @TadhgHickey The ‘goodies’ have allies . . .
The allies of the baddies are ‘proxies’
Which side am I ?
English

"The West are the goodies and countries not playing their game are the baddies"
America has unequivocally shown that international law and the rules-based order are a 'joke', says @TadhgHickey.

@wireinthebrain @steffd62 @JackWDart I mentioned ‘The Pledges’ made to secure the leadership
The commitment was on workers rights - the question :
Can they be overridden in Freeports and SEZs, entities that were NOT mentioned in the manifesto . . .
. . . or anywhere else
English

@Veracityscape @steffd62 @JackWDart Did you actually follow the link? Here’s a link to the ACTUAL manifesto. Show me where the commitment to Freeport’s or SEZ’s is. labour.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

@PahlaviReza Beware the person that proclaims . . . ‘my people’

@NeilForPoole @joecocker15 Oh dear how else will they get the contracts????

@maximumpain333 Try jumping in a moving train and note where you land . . .
. . . is the implication that you were pushed along by the moving air ?
English

@wireinthebrain @steffd62 @JackWDart Even that’s been watered down under pressure from business . . .
. . . what’s the prospect for worker’s rights in Freeports and SEZs ?
English

@Veracityscape @steffd62 @JackWDart The mandate was the election manifesto. fullfact.org/government-tra…

@AngusSatow @S9_tmt ‘never sought the limelight’. .
. . . like Dracula ?
English

Second this. Some people seem to think it's acceptable to openly criticise political advisers.
Morgan has never sought the limelight, never briefed out his own genius, never shown anything other than honesty & integrity.
As a friend, I find it sickening the attacks he's faced.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 NEW: Morgan McSweeney says he doesn’t recognise the person he is made out to be “I find it strange reading about a character with the same name as mine sometimes. I don't recognise that character”

@TedLogan1010 It was the small things that survived and evolved, like cockroaches after a nuclear winter
