Once was slim

Whatever world Tony Blair inhabits appears to be one without climate change & where UK temperature record for May hasn’t just been smashed by over 2C. How else to explain his extraordinary dismissal of net zero & erroneous claim that fossil fuels are cheaper than renewables? 🙄

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…” Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share. This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating: “Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive. A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages. You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything. They’re simply too poor to afford bail. Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s. Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends. Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years. Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you. And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster. And you call Greenland badly governed? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment. ‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’ When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years. And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess. You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy. So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan. The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth. And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

Many of the rightwingers attacking free bus travel for kids this August are old enought to get free travel on buses all year round

Read the room @SkyNews We're going elsewhere for our news as soon as we see a station platforming this self serving excuse.

Nearly 100 Reform UK councillors have been kicked out, resigned or defected. The mainstream press has barely noticed. thedailybritain.co.uk/reform-council…

Panorama should do a special edition on that £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne to Nigel Farage. If it had been Keir Starmer or Zack Polanski there would be a special, plus a repeat within 48 hours. #BBCBreakfast #Panorama

The sun hits the Earth with 10,000 times more energy than we use. Every. Single. Day. We're not running out of power. We're just stuck using the wrong kind-because billionaires don't own sunlight.

Lady in pink top, "In the last ten years we've had all these Prime Ministers" "The elephant in the room is surely Brexit ten years ago" "And we're still living through the change in political allegiances that Brexit brought about" "And also the damage it has done to the growth prospects of the UK"

Three reasons why the "Unite the Kingdom" rally this Saturday is worse than you think... @ElonMusk a little something for you at the end.

@Haggis_UK I've directed news programmes for the BBC and SKY and outside broadcasts during general elections for ITV and Channel 4 and I have never, ever seen, in 20 years, as blatant anti Labour bias as in this current period

So bored of news outlets trying to write the news rather than report it.

The British media is doing everything it can to make this mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, lazy, security risk the PM. Ask yourselves why? Why do they want that so badly, who benefits? It's not going to be the British people. Follow the money, always follow the money.

Brexit has destroyed the UK. Before Cameron called a referendum immigration & EU membership was not a key issue. Yet for over a decade now Brexit has seen racism, xenophobia & fascism grow in the UK. The likes of Farage have enabled it with his dog whistle politics.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

This place is bought & paid for just like the British media. #MediaReformNow

The disgusting @SamCoatesSky is the worst political journalist in the country. Just so open in his absolute hatred of Keir Starmer. He shames Journalism, shames Sky, and should be on Gammon News. A vile little man #sacksamcoates

@SkyNews @HackneyAbbott @cathynewman We want a public apology from @SamCoatesSky or his resignation if he can't admit to his blatant bias in calling photos of the PM fake. #SackSamCoates

@SamCoatesSky He was forced to admit that they were Associated Press photos minutes later, but the damage had been done. On what basis did you decide to initially refer to the photos as “government propaganda” and “fake news” while ardently warning the public not to trust them @samcoates ?
