Hoy firmamos junto a los sindicatos un nuevo acuerdo de subida del SMI de 1.221€.

No es solo una cifra: es dignidad, es libertad, es justicia social para 2,5 millones de personas. Subir el salario mínimo no destruye empleo, destruye pobreza.

If this was a poll of British journalists, that 8% would be 90%. They are desperate for Farage, or maybe even Lowe, to be PM
About a sixth of the public endorse very extreme views on making legal/settled migrants leave & then follow up on the specifics. (This overlaps with the 8% who say they support violence in protests & liked the riots, so it should be challenged, not indulged)

IVE's song Attitude is inspired by Tom's Diner as well. A lot of K-pop songs drawing on old 90s tracks
In a surprising turn of events, my wife was mildly impressed that I know the lyrics to "spice up your life" 😯😯 Blackpink's song Jump is inspired by it, so my daughter was mildly impressed too, if you want K-pop FACTS for your little ones 🤣

The NGOs that came up with the "bloody" Iranian protester death tolls are based in Washington, D.C. and NYC, and are funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which is a CIA cutout for funding regime change operations. Just saying. We know Qui Bono.

Of course, the Tories managed 2 major ideological swerve in office with new leaders and we didn't get the same demands for elections from the right. For reasons.

Doing this for vague "special security reasons" is unprecedented since 2001, and should worry anyone focused on US, Western hemisphere, global security and migration issues

The big lesson for the media and political classes from Mandelson is to stop putting these banal characters on a pedestal.

And here we are, with Cummings, saying nothing more interesting or insightful than the average X alt-right shit-poster. On a pedestal.

What is Dominic Cummings up to? | The Observer
Ten years on from Brexit, six years after Barnard Castle, the strategist thinks he has a plan to ‘set things on a profoundly different path’. Why does he still believe he has the answers?

I think one of the ugliest aspects of social media is how it traps some people into a 24/7 feed of watching content about crimes, abuse and violence
Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

The thing about the Epstein files (and Mandelson scandal) is it makes you wonder what is/was going on in all the messages between those in power that we can't see. Epstein may have been a monster, but this is surely barely the tip of the iceberg.

Sanchez played a smart move here. Good for Spain, good for Spanish children, popular with parents, and now he's being attacked by Musk, who is hated in Spain (we all know what Musk got up to with Epstein)

Watching the Epstein atrocities continuing to expand, one of the horrors is knowing that many of these men feel absolutely nothing for their victims beyond annoyance - they are gross narcissists who see the world as FOR THEM and to hell with the rest whatever the destruction and pain wrought
