The Labour Party machine sabotaged the 2017 and 2019 elections, and if you don't know that, it's time you did.
It's no good coming on here and talking about 'winning elections' or' getting the Tories out', when your proven track record is the *exact opposite of that.*

Corporate greed has got fk all to do with the war

Inflation is simple to explain @RevRichardColes. It’s a measure of the increase in prices in a month compared to the previous year. It is high now as the impact of Putin’s war works through the economy. That war has lasted less than a year so far. A quick thread….. twitter.com/revrichardcoles/st

You couldn't make this up. Baddiel's "Jews Don't Count" for Ch4 is sponsored by Ford, the company that not only supplied the Nazis leading up to and during WW2 but was founded by Henry Ford, one of the world's most vile anti-Semites and friend of Hitler.

As Matt Hancock makes his lucrative move into light entertainment (while still drawing his generous salary and expenses as an MP), I keep remembering what happened under his watch as health secretary in 2020: twitter.com/troovus/status/126

Most fascinating thing about the Ukraine war is the sheer number of top strategic thinkers who warned for years that it was coming if we continued down the same path.

No-one listened to them and here we are.

Small compilation 🧵 of these warnings, from Kissinger to Mearsheimer.

There is a tension between users, stakeholders and society. “Dark patterns are where the user value is supplanted in favor of shareholder value” (Gray et al. 2018)

@richardlock14 @GBNEWS Human rights are above politics and should be defended whether it makes some uncomfortable or not.HRs are more important than football, or any sport. Yes? The World Cup is grubbier now. Let’s face it, it’s been filthy for years. Thinking football matters more than humans lives.

Lisa Nandy- "We can't just wave a magic wand"
Translation - "We're not going to tax the rich and the corporations who make mega profits while the rest of you starve and pay more taxes and suffer more cuts. We are the party of austerity Mk 2. "

Stop demanding a General election when your party are out there offering out Nothing, but more austerity & anti Corbyn rubbish. You want to ‘Stay & Fight’ in Your party? Go demand that they actually stand for something

If @jeremycorbyn was no threat to the establishment, or if his spark had been extinguished already, corrupt politicians from all Parties wouldn't spend so much time trying to defame and demonise him. The fact is he stands for the many and they, including I, still stand with him.

France is passing a law to require every large car park to also be a solar panel farm.

The Tories are busy banning onshore wind & solar farms in fields.

The decision to double your energy bill was a political choice.

When we talk about Russian cash in British politics, the biggest amount is the £100 million put in by the Lebedevs from 2006 mainly into the hands of the Daily Mail who printed & co-owned some of the Lebedev titles, the Evening Standard & the Independent. theguardian.com/media/2009/jun

Brexit would not have happened but for lies promulgated by the Daily Mail. I don’t know anyone who reads it. But if you do, please RT this. Well done @ByDonkeys twitter.com/ByDonkeys/status/1
