@Telegraph If you believe in the state, vote Labour If you believe in the country, vote Restore If you believe in the Conservatives, vote Reform If you believe in the Lib Dems, vote Conservative If you believe in the EU, vote Lib Dem If you just wanna watch the world burn, vote Green

@Anarkeys @SenWarren I just tried to write the most insane, immature thing I could think of.

@eojlc89 @SenWarren Little skewed but not far off

Donald Trump is right about this: Eliminate the debt limit—its only real function is to threaten an economic crisis. I'm ready to work with both Democratic and Republican Senators to immediately scrap the debt ceiling and protect the economy.

@NHSMillion Historians will look back on the NHS as a bizarre experiment in economic aesthetics.

The lack of available NHS dentists in this country should be a national scandal.

@ClownWorld Natural selection. We never left the wild.

Jane Michelle Arc, a trans identifying software engineer from San Francisco, “fled” the US last year after Trump won, seeking asylum in the Netherlands over fears of persecution Now placed in Ter Apel, the country’s largest asylum center, surrounded by migrants from war torn regions, the Red Cross has pulled its own aid workers out due to violence, and stabbings have become routine Arc’s own words: “I will be hurt or killed” Turns out the danger wasn’t Trump. It was never Trump

@VigilantFox Anyone who took the MRNA jab because the government told them to doesn't know what science is!

Joe Rogan and Tim Robbins dissect the most revealing thing Fauci ever said: "When you criticize Anthony Fauci, you're criticizing science." Tim is a lifelong progressive. Rogan got smeared for years over ivermectin. But watch how fast they both turn on Fauci and finish each other's sentences. ROGAN: "The fact that he felt so confident that he could say that. That is such a crazy thing to say. And then science became like an object." ROBBINS: "It became a religion." ROGAN: "Science is supposed to be data. It's supposed to be measuring data, and it's supposed to never be settled." ROGAN: "The moment you stop questioning data, and even real experts, like guys from MIT and Harvard were getting deplatformed off of Twitter because they didn't believe it. They were saying, 'Look, I don't think this lockdown idea is a good idea. I think it's bad for children. I think children aren't even really susceptible to this disease. Why are we doing this?'" ROBBINS: "It became a faith. It became dogma. And if you question the dogma, you were a heretic. You were kicked out of the religion. It was a scary time. And still is scary."

@KayBurley Did Liz Truss do this? Is Truss's premiership even visible here? Kay you're ignorant and operate in bad faith, be better!

You also crashed the economy

This may be unpopular, but we never escaped the 2008 financial crisis. We just shifted the pain.

@MetroUK Some ideas are preferable to others. Some behaviours are preferable to others. Cultures are a collection of ideas and behaviours.

John Cleese has insisted that he is ‘not a racist’ after voicing support for Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe. Responding to a post featuring the former Reform UK MP, Cleese recently said on X: ‘I trust this man more than any of the other leaders’: trib.al/rofRrYC

@SenWarren Totally agree. Theft has no limit so why pretend it does? The pretence is a needless insult.

@Anarkeys @SenWarren 100% tax on everything, the economy shouldn't exist, just full government control as they're the only responsible people, business owners are all corrupt criminals that do no work, take no risks and provide no innovations

@SenWarren Your not fixing any problems, start by taxing Businesses and capital gains at the same rate as their employees checks.

@eluvianexplorer @implausibleblog From the little I've heard there was more sewage dumping before they went private, I hope there'll be less after but I'm not holding my breath.

@eluvianexplorer @implausibleblog Thanks for your thoughtful replies, I enjoyed reading them. I fear that public or private, humans are not capable of organising the small amount of care we have for this issue into an effective institution for tackling it.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Where is the pain going to come" "Capping bus fares, giving a pub a grand off their tax bill, but that's the pleasure, the goodies" "People want to know, where is the pain going to come?" Andy Burnham, "I took on the bus industry in Manchester because they were running a system which worked for them. They made me go all the way to the High Court but I fought them and I won that argument and put buses under public control here" "With water, a similar approach is needed, you take on the vested interests" "The water system in Britain is a system where the shareholders never lose and the public never win" "So the pain comes I'm afraid in disrupting some of those arrangements and saying to those vested interests you can't have it like this any more"

@theswansjr Touché! Musk seems to think money itself disappears fairly soon, what do you think?

@eojlc89 How about non-humans?

Most people try to understand Bitcoin first. The better path is to understand fiat money. Once you see the problem, Bitcoin stops looking like the risk, it starts looking like the solution.

@ResisttheMS just your average 150 IQ idiot

Joy Reid suggest that people have been "spending a decade insisting Elon Musk is a genius - when you hear him talk, you realize he's actually an idiot!"

@ZubyMusic 🎯. The states system is the real 'checks and balances'

My hot take is I actually think it's good that the USA can run experiments like this in individual cities and states without tanking the entire country in the process... This is democracy and decentralisation in action. The people of NYC will get what they voted for.

@eluvianexplorer @implausibleblog I was being entirely sarcastic just to be clear, don't want to waste your time+thoughts. I swim in the sea every week so am concerned but don't understand this issue well. How can we change the incentives around this? I feel the more the gov is involved the worse it will get.

@eojlc89 @implausibleblog It is a regional monopoly, not a competitive market, because there are no alternative suppliers. So they get to charge us extortionate prices to line the pockets of their shareholders while actively dumping shit into our rivers.

@theblaze Canary in the coalmine

Mamdani announces that he is opening 5 city government run grocery stores: “Prices will be set at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions.”

@ArchRose90 But he's got great hair and that's what the public believes in

I’ve just finished watching Andy Burnham’s Panorama interview with Laura Kuennsberg. His first real interview as PM and he was very low energy, dull and I ended up drifting off at times. Said “ermm” a lot. His communication skills have been over-exaggerated.

@TFTC21 But he does look great doing it

Bitcoin critic and actor Ben McKenzie urges Congress to block the Clarity Act. "You can not be against Trump's crypto corruption and then vote for a bill that enables that corruption to continue."

Mainstream media in Berlin: “The queer community naturally feels threatened, above all, by right-wing forces” Really? I thought jt was the Muslims running them over in the street.
