@angloid0 It really is. Solid GenX here. The energy and passion for this cause - and anger in places - of your generation is the biggest white pill in a very long time.

The amount of young people getting involved in Restore is very whitepilling.

@RaiseTheAge16 No. This is parents' responsibility. If we do this, every online interaction will need ID. That's a very bad outcome.

🫵 MPs - You have a choice to make, our children cannot wait. Raise the age for harmful social media to 16 today.

@emanonedits @officialsammyuk @LincsEnigma The power to fire MPs needs to remain with the voters, otherwise it's not a democracy. It really isn't like any other job.

There should be no alcohol in Parliament whatsoever. I have witnessed politicians drinking alcohol in Parliament. If they can’t do the job without alcohol, then they shouldn’t be doing the job. Politicians are making decisions for our country and should not be under the influence while making such decisions.

@Sargon_of_Akkad I sense the influence of the Greens' deputy leader and his mates.

Crazy that the legalise all drugs party is getting puritanical about alcohol. They view alcohol as elite-coded, whereas drugs are low-class-coded, so one is good, and the other bad.

@BearJFK I doubt it's crossed his desk.

The Falkland Islands threat is gonna be Starmer’s get out of jail free card, isn’t it?

@kitmalthouse Conservative in name only.

The House of Lords has disgraced parliament. Their existence is based on trust, now roundly abused by a small group of unelected zealots. Time for a serious look at who these people are, and how they are allowed to govern us. The X trolls will be jubilant, but we will be back.

@kitmalthouse I don't live under a bridge, but I'm jubilant that this poorly-drafted and dangerous bill has been rejected. This is how our constitution is supposed to work. Legislators seriously scrutinizing legislation to ensure it is fit for purpose.

@HeadWarriorTWM This really is Monty Python territory

Far cross dresser says what? Who's he kidding.

@genevieve_holl Is she really that dim?

Kim Leadbeater MP has just likened the legalisation of assisted dying to legalising gay marriage On Sky News: 'It is a choice, it's a bit like gay marriage isn't it? Marry who you want to marry, love who you want to love. It's nothing to do with anybody else'

@CalSleeper Boarding commenced at 22.45, with no explanation

@docMfan Hi, very sorry for the late reply. The lounge closes at 10pm (as advertised on our website - sleeper.scot/sleeper-experi…) as that's when boarding commences. We hope you had a great trip last night.

@CalSleeper Glasgow. Lounge closed at 22.00. waiting on the chilly platform since. No explanation about why there's no boarding. Is this what I paid £250 for?

Happy St George's Day!

@TheRealJamieKay Personally, I'd choose a joke about gay guys over being pushed off a building every day of the week. Jokes are also preferable to being told that failing to be attracted to a woman who thinks she's a man is somehow my fault.

Why are the far-right so homophobic? And yes - I have plenty of receipts before the denials start.

@4nt1p4tt3rn But then you want a trade school, not a university. Opening up a market for the first and reducing the prevalence of the second could be very good

Thanks, I'm a.b.d. I very much understand it. This isn't about research. Ivory towerism is how we got here. I'm talking about creating a system that teaches people things they actually need to know in the world, taught by people who've been successful in the world. Not in academia.

Hear me out: Universities, but where the only people allowed to teach are people who've actually been successful already in the subject they're teaching. Where "successful" is not measured by individual wealth or number of published papers. Minimum 20 years in whatever field being taught. Hiring based on tangibles. This means, for example, you don't have serial tech entrepreneurs teaching computer science. They go into the MBA program. They aren't good at tech, they're good at business.

Funny how this country picks and chooses who it protects. On one side, you’ve got men from the Special Air Service—the tip of the spear—walking away because they feel like they’ve got a target on their backs. Not from the enemy… from their own side. Sent into chaos, told to get the job done. No headlines, no glory—just results. Years later? Lawyers circling, investigations looming, and a government that suddenly can’t quite remember backing them. Then look at veterans from Northern Ireland—dragged back through the mud decades on, while the people who sent them there sit comfortably out of reach. But when failure happens here at home—think the Stockport massacre—what do we see? Quiet resignations. Full pensions. No decades-long pursuit. We’ll chase soldiers across half a century for decisions made in the fog of conflict… But when leadership fails in plain sight, it’s a polite handshake and a send-off. That’s not justice. That’s convenience. And if you’re one of the lads watching all this unfold, why would you stay? Why would you risk everything knowing you might be the one left holding the bag years later? We don’t have a recruitment problem. We’ve got a loyalty problem. No wonder the lads are getting out of the regiment—half the country hasn’t got a clue why they sleep soundly at night.

NARRATOR: JK Rowling had never met Jolyon Maugham. They were never friends. Her close friends remained her close friends. Jolyon Maugham remained a fixated loon.

@spectator Fabianism strikes again. One of the most malign forces in the country.

In his new book Why Populists Are Winning: and How to Beat Them , British MP Liam Byrne argues that it’s time to go after the “supply side” of populism – time, that is, to curb freedom of the press and the right of individuals to spend money on causes they believe in. For a decade, you see, the European and British establishments have focused on quashing the demand side of populism. They have employed police, prison, censorship and shame to stop people from voicing anti-establishment opinions, demanding populist policies or voting for populist parties. They have formed preposterously broad coalitions to exclude populist parties from power. They have had law enforcement break down doors for Facebook posts about migrant hotels and they’ve had goons detain people in airports for tweets rejecting the transgender contagion. ✍️ Blake Neff Article | spectator.com/article/supply…

@waryprince Almost wish that were true.

Low-IQ gays think they were born that way, high-IQ gays know they were molested.

@LoftusSteve If Olly Robbins is blameless, I look forward to a full and complete explanation from his perspective. After all, Labour doesn't believe in gagging clauses, and as a neutral civil servant his duty is to the nation, not to the Labour party, yes?

It's incredulous that they want us to believe nobody said "Er, boss, You should probably know this" with everything that has happened.
