This.
It’s like watching a once-great library set itself on fire, shelf by shelf, while insisting the smoke is freedom. The U.S. isn’t just losing influence, it’s actively torching credibility, its alliances, and any pretense of moral authority in real time.

Israel has announced Gaza's survivors will be driven into a concentration camp.

They will be left with a choice: leave Gaza, or die.

No genocide was so documented or confessed to as it actually happened 👇

Gaza will be concentration camp, declares Netanyahu
His colleague, meanwhile, says Gaza will be destroyed. Genocide in plain sight

Merseyside Police has asked fans without tickets to not attend Everton's final game at Goodison Park.

Merseyside Police did not ask Liverpool fans to do the same for the Spurs game recently. Would be interesting to know why.

🧵 Seeing posts about the Papal conclave is really tiresome. Yes, we know you watched the movie & that, actually, your knowledge of Roman Catholicism is suspect. Worse are the journos ‘predicting’ the next Pope. The self-described ‘Catholic’ ones are far right fundamentalist [1]

Freeports have already cost the public nearly £20bn - yet Labour want more of them?
Freeports and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) made huge jobs promises that they've so far failed to deliver, and cost the taxpayer a fortune.

“Mayors are elected on a firstpast the post system, as gerrymandered by the Tories: why hasn’t Labour returned to the original supplementary vote, which would ensure every mayor must get 50% support to win, and requires voters to seek second choices beyond their own party” @pollytoynbee.bsky.social

It should be so easy to make him regret copying such self-evident failure, but such is the negligence of the UK media, he’s not even being made to pay for the Brexit disaster he instigated.

Please just stop letting people with crap ideas & crap records fail upwards.
