Nurse practitioner in the NHS. Climber, loves trad, bouldering + sport. The system is fucked, the Right is selling snake oil and becomes more of a cult every day.

Slava Ukraine.

I already have a counterproposal:

Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.

Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.

All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.

And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Here is Nathan Gill in 2014 blaming the EU for Russia advancing on Ukraine

Nathan Gill pled guilty to accepting bribes from Russia to promote a pro Russia anti EU position

He started in UKIP, joined the Brexit Party, then Reform UK

Here's what he said at the European Parliament

Ask for a reply. The BBC are obliged to supply one!
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.

So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism.

From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved:

#Russia will 100% be supporting #NigelFarage and his #ReformUK party...

It did so once to get #Brexit to weaken the #UK and divide the #EU
It wants to expand that divide and further weaken the West.

Have no doubt that this russian asset would also cut all support for #Ukraine as well.

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

1/5 It’s time for Europe to stop hesitating.

russia’s frozen assets — hundreds of billions — must be seized and handed to Ukraine. Not someday. Now.

This is one of the most powerful, cost-free ways to help end the war faster.

Why are we still waiting?

Elon Musk has created an AI that spits out Facebook-level conspiracy gibberish and fossil fuel industry propaganda, and appears to be shoehorning it into his cars.
Grok showed up in my Tesla this morning, and started speaking to me without me trying to trigger it.

I saw a tab called "conspiracy theories", clicked it and asked Grok about climate change.

This is what Elon Musk is telling Tesla drivers about climate change.

You sang a different song when you forced us to disarm in 1994, guaranteeing our security, only to be "sick" of sending not your soldiers, oh no, but only weapons, now when we are under attack by a ruthless terrorist country which burns families in their beds while they sleep.
