We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Does anyone know if Donald Trump ever watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
It's a shame this scene didn't stick with him if so.

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.

Now that we’re here, and the angry people are on X and the dancing people are on insta, and we’re all finding a place; wouldn’t it be nice if there was a peaceful garden somewhere, just for the sexy lady bot accounts, where they could finally rest.

Bore da from an absolutely freezing Carmarthenshire field where me and the dog are just processing the news that there are at 1700 coal, gas and oil lobbyists at COP29.
Phew, that's one less thing I've got to worry about today. What's your favourite petrochemical company, and why?

Twitter isn't the world's town square, it's a pub. Great when we all met up for a drink and a catch-up every week. Then a new landlord arrived, put a big England flag and his golliwog collection behind the bar and it was a magnet for his horrible EDL mates. Fuck that. We've found a better pub.
So I just posted this on Twitter & asked for views on it & the BlueSky exodus? Isn’t it just ceding ground to Musk? Zelensky didn’t pack his bags & decamp to Poland. Tell me why I’m wrong.

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Not an echo chamber of consistent opinions, but an echo chamber of consistent respect. It feels like coming home.
I would say one of the best pros is that as a conservative I have engaged many liberals and most people have been very open to conversation. It overall just seems more civil and like what conversation or sharing your cultural beliefs and values should be like.

People calling for more bishops to resign over the CofE child abuse scandal, that's good but why not take it to the top? Get God to resign. He's omnipresent, he must have known what was going on and did nothing about it. Or is this one of his mysterious ways religious people just accept?
