UK politics for many voters right now: You're eating food that you hate which makes you ill, but you'd sooner continue doing that than let someone else have a go at cooking for you as you don't think they'd do any better. So you continue to eat food you hate which makes you ill.

The usual racists and 'political commentators' more annoyed that the driver in Liverpool appears to be a 53 year old white man, or that police could identify he was white so quickly than they are with him driving into football fans. State of these people.

If you believe in the power of silent petitionary prayer, you’re committed to the notion that God hears it wherever you are. So why do these zealots gather outside women’s medical facilities instead of praying at home or in church? It’s absolutely right to stop this harassment.
To harass: to subject to aggressive pressure or intimidation. To pray silently: to communicate with God not by speaking words aloud but by thinking them in our mind. It takes some impressive mental gymnastics to confuse ‘harassment’ with ‘thought’.

The grift being pushed into overdrive
Hilarious post this, 'With Tommy being locked up again, he is unable to work.' 🤣 As if he has ever worked.

It's almost like billionaire tycoons don't want to pay taxes and like autocratically inclined populist multi millionaires who'll do their bidding. All the while, people fall for it... somehow believing that they're socking it to the "man" by giving these gilded arsehats power.

Interesting revelations that Elon isn't remotely interested in free speech and accuracy. Rather he uses X and his wealth to better his own position through misinformation.
Wow this is shady. Elon Musk is funding a PAC that’s running two ads against Kamala Harris with messages that directly contradict each other. The opposing messages are microtargeted to specific groups of voters, so each see one ad, but neither see both.

Based on her questioning so far just being a re-hash of the same question I'm not sure much would have been shared with @BorisJohnson in the 'unfortunately release' by @bbclaurak team.

Tommy Robinson sent a letter to himself, he meant to log out and send it from a different account. But he didn't. Don't RT 🤣

Burned down by 'patriots' who are trying to protect their communities and British values. 🙄
What a beautiful reading space!!! It's definitely worth a trip to the children's library at Spellow Hub! @liverpoollib

Patriotic English protester. He wants his country back. Doubtless would highlight that this isn't what his ancestors fought the 2nd world war for. This nazi tattooed cretin and the other lowlife rats making their streets unsafe (one of the things they are annoyed about). #Riots

'Patriots' doing their best to make people more proud of their country. I assume that's what they think rather than the majority of people thinking they're a bunch of criminal belters. Most couldn't name the 3 girls they're apparently driven to rioting over the deaths of.

Woman loses boxing match to another woman because she hits harder. Ultimately that's what happened. Issue is the determination of gender and physiology in order to be 'fair', though not necessarily to all.
Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

"The truth isn't being 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘥 from us, the police are conducting an investigation - they don't give a running commentary!" @maitlis and @jonsopel on the "populist trope" Farage is using in questioning the lack of information about the Southport killer.

Always amused by some peoples online behaviour. A stranger esponds to a message you put up, and they criticise accuracy. They then block you when you respond acknowledging the error, but highlighting the disingenuous nature of their comment. Odd place. Odd behaviour.

Important thread to explain how disinformation is easily spread, particularly anti-migrant/Muslim. The kind of deliberate action which leads to the disorder seen in Stockport.
🧵1/ Thread on the #Southport anti-migrant and anti-Muslim disinformation and propaganda. In this thread I highlight key spreaders of disinformation, the chronology, and some points about some of the inauthentic activity evident. I will focus on X.

You never know when you or someone you know may be in need. If you can donate then do. You could help save someone's life, surely motivation enough. Huge credit to those who already do.
🚨Blood shortage Amber alert 🩸 The @NHS urgently needs O type blood. There are over 12000 appointments available over the next 2 weeks they need your help to fill. If you are an O type donor call 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment or visit my.blood.co.uk/your-account/…

No doubt this was top of the list of things required of the constituency MP for Clacton. Buyers remorse won't take long to settle in.

Lots of tory voters not happy with the FPTP electoral system since it didn't work for them. Also unaware that a government just needs a majority of 1 to implement its policies if appropriately disciplined. Also quite a few who seem they would be happier under a dictatorship.

Happy Birthday Sylvester Stallone, pictured here on the set of 'Rocky 2' (1979).

Was obviously pleased to see that @grantshapps lost his seat last night. Does anyone know how Michael Green, Corrine Stockheath and Sebastian Fox faired?
