This comment started getting a lot of attention on #Threads yesterday, so i thought I’d try something…
Found the exact same post on xBird and Bluesky, and posted the exact same comment.

Zero engagement on either! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Farmers might be better off if they'd planted more crops instead of posters in their fields.

Hello! I’m not sure how many people who care about the NHS are here yet- but the non-profit campaign org I run (EveryDoctor) is running a massive campaign involving 99 MPs so far, and I need to connect with as many lovely folk as possible.

If you follow me, share+like this I’ll follow you back!Ju☺️💙

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.

Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.

This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

This is me. Right now.
I’m Snerdling.
It’s what I do if a weekend (but not tomorrow!)

Morning.
