Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.
I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Anyone who says "All politicians are the same" is an idiot. You think Corbyn and Farage are the same, and Tony Blair too? Michael Gove got the same ideas and motivations as Mhairi Black? Caroline Lucas no different to Liz Truss?

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

If you’re not aware, LC, like ME/CFS, devastates lives. And the medical profession has almost entirely abandoned sufferers.
And now in the U.K., it sounds as if most will now lose their PIP.

A lot of rich parents are very upset at the government for charging VAT on private school fees. Maybe they should instead ask why private schools have put up fees so far above inflation over the past 15 years. www.ft.com/content/852b...

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲
Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported.
You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

Nothing screams 'doing politics well' like spending *TEN BILLION POUNDS* to compensate a tiny fraction of people, many of whom simply don't need it, for a change with in most cases a 20 year run up.

One self-described Starmer "loyalist" said they had spoken to Whips about the Government being "in a bunker", not listening to its MPs and failing to "do politics" well
