You are entitled to your own opinion, NOT your own facts.

Misinformation is the greatest threat we face: it allows the powerful to manipulate the gullible into doing their bidding.
Turns out there are a lot of gullible people.

🚨 Labour MPs are calling for a minister-led review of the government’s use of X, warning it poses growing risks to democracy and public safety

@politicshome.bsky.social understands a review is currently being carried out by officials, but without ministerial oversight

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Farage appeared so often as a key guest on Russia Today, Putin’s mouthpiece, that he was offered his own programme.
This week Nathan Gill, Reform UK’s Leader in Wales will be sentenced for 8 charges of Russian bribes.

Here’s Farage calling him an “honest, decent and honourable man”.

Let’s not forget that whilst he was taking the bribes, Farage was making similar pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament.

British bellends in Spanish Benidorm threw a protest against immigration. This must be the kind of galaxy-level stupidity where you’re screaming about ‘immigrants’ while you’re drunk in a foreign country, sunburnt to hell, and literally the immigrant clogging up the place.

I’m ashamed to live in a country that has withdrawn from the COP30 fund. Species will become extinct as a result. Drilling and mining will replace forests and ultimately we will ALL suffer.

Wealth has been repeatedly handed to the richest who then lock it away. As they accumulate an ever greater share of cash/assets, there is less for everyone else. Global economies can only escape from the doldrums by freeing up that trapped wealth. Tax the rich!!

There are some countries which DON’T have universal healthcare, such as Afghanistan, Yemen, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic. But the US is the ONLY wealthy, industrialised nation which doesn’t.
These countries have had universal health care for their citizens, as shown below.

There are more after 1995

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
