Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting.
To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage.
To show Britain is better than this.
Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.

Top trolling from Merz 🤣
Chancellor Merz is right now in the Oval Office and presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump.
Quite a clever gambit by Merz, whose name is also Friedrich.

Hold up, if everyone here is paying their cleaners in cash, what likelihood do you think there is that the cleaners are declaring it and paying tax?

The bad news is that when it was privatised, the deal was that the government would take on ALL debts and liabilities. No wonder they've racked up so much borrowing.
Well done Thatcher.

The fact that austerity doesn't appear on the list tells you all that you need to know about Britons.
As 2025 approaches, we asked the public to tell us in their own words what has been the single most significant historical event to have occurred since 1 January 2000
1. Covid: 26%
2. 9/11: 24%
3. Queen dying: 11%
4. Ukraine war: 7%
5. Brexit: 5%

Until relatively recently, almost everyone in England who consumed news read just one national newspaper a day - all of them with a definite and consistent worldview. There was the BBC, but its ideological take was muted. So away with your "we're all heading into an echo chamber" rubbish.

This song keeps buzzing around my head.
It's pretty miserable that this song was written 60 years ago and is still valid. And there's a lot of people that it could be about.
