@SuellaBraverman Liz Truss literally caused UK to crash and burn in a few weeks.

Suella will go down in history as the worst Home Secretary and breaching Ministerial Code. That is actually fact not opinion.

[Sam @SamCKx]

The issue isn't Starmer, per se, it's the fact that we all now know, whoever is PM, unless it's some far right leader with friendly tax policies for the ultra wealthy, they will be met by a barage of misinformation and relentless online attacks: accusations they support p**dophiles & r*pists, that they jail 12,000 innocent people every year for tweeting; and all the usual misleading, manipulative BS designed to exploit people's emotions.

This won't stop until they have installed the party they want. A party that will be focussed purely on optimising the affairs of its wealthy backers, and not on the working people and families of Britain.

A real long shot but can people retweet this please.

Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.

@JoBullen1 @DeputyGrocott I'm certain the school will cancel that!

[Robert Peston @Peston]

I know we’re mostly inured to Donald Trump’s disregard for institutional norms and proprieties, but pre-announcing the resignation of the prime minister of America’s supposedly most important ally is pretty extreme, even by his standards. UK ministers are genuinely and understandably shocked

In the NHS of the future, you may never need a doctor or nurse, says NHS England chair Penny Dash. Smartphone care, AI and robotics will transform the medical system, and automate entire patient pathways she believes: https://t.co/k503U4t8vu

@sallywoods1 @JackWDart The Labour comms are one of the few legitimate criticisms - they should have realised MUCH sooner that the media cannot be relied upon to report actual work that goes on in government anymore. They needed / need to up their own comms so people are more aware.

[Paul Bowes @PaulBowes17]

@ToryFibs @JackWDart @campbellclaret Starmer has never recovered from the impression made by those two actions. But let's not pretend that there hasn't been a concerted media campaign against him, either. I have never seen such a largely competent politician treated so badly, with such little reason.

[Sam @SamCKx]

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

[Sam @SamCKx]

You are the absolute perfect example of the propaganda I was referring to.

1) The 12,000 figure is from 2023, when The Conservatives were in charge, not Labour.
2) It refers to all arrests under two long-standing UK laws: the Communications Act 2003 and the Malicious Communications Act 1988.
3) Arrests, not convictions or jail.
4) All harmful electronic communictions - could be someone sending a message threatening to kill their ex, could be an email, could be a whatsapp message. A small percentage were for online public posts.

So, now you know that beyond your comment being incredibly factually incorrect, it doesn't even refer to the current government that you have been indoctrinated into hating, do you feel like someone who has been brainwashed by propaganda?

[In For The Fun @InForTheFun_]

@suraj_sharma14 I'd really like more people to realise that. We created the data, the AIs were trained on our work. I've done blog posts, X posts, youtube videos (little), I have 25 published scientific papers. I didn't get a cent for all my efforts, yet I'm paying Claude now.

@remmy_308 @N0TINSERVICE Thanks for being normal and mature.

[REMMY @remmy_308]

@N0TINSERVICE Yep, I agree definitely should havd been more information. But it may be they are concerned that muppets will protest at the facility or location.

People are stupid enough unfortunately.

[REMMY @remmy_308]

@N0TINSERVICE Appreciate why it appears crazy but think of a grown adult with the mental age of a 5 year old.

Do you honestly think prison is the best place for such a person or a secure location with staff experienced in caring for such people?

X is an absolute cesspit. The tweets over the crocodile story are insane. Everyone is suddenly an expert. The racism is off the scale too. I'm not even sure why I'm still here. Maybe it's because it's addictive... I think it's also because the football chat is engaging...

[Natasha Day MBE @NatashaMDay]

Every time England step onto the pitch in a World Cup, the country gears up for ninety minutes of hope, tension and national pride. But away from the stadiums and fan zones, another pattern plays out, one that’s far less celebrated and far more predictable.

Domestic violence rises when England play. It rises when they win, when they lose, and even when they draw. The data is consistent across multiple tournaments and multiple police forces. Abuse increases by more than a third when England lose. It still rises by over a quarter when they win. Alcohol‑related abuse jumps sharply. The day after a match, the risk remains elevated. Some forces report their busiest domestic abuse days of the entire year during England fixtures. NHS services see more injuries linked to domestic abuse during tournaments. None of this is new, and none of it is accidental.

Football doesn’t cause abuse. Abusers cause abuse. But the World Cup amplifies the risk. Heightened emotions, alcohol, gambling stress and late‑night fixtures all combine to create a pressure point that victims feel long after the final whistle.

For those of us working in healthcare, safeguarding, policing, education or community support, this is a warning. A reminder that preparation matters.

If you or someone you know is affected, support is available. The National Domestic Abuse Helpline is open 24/7 on 0808 2000 247. Men can contact the Men’s Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or the ManKind Initiative on 01823 334244. LGBTQ+ victims can reach Galop on 0800 999 5428. Childline is available for young people on 0800 1111.

The World Cup is a celebration for many. For others, it’s a danger period.

@BenGrahamUK They don’t need to satisfy your curiosity. You don’t know what the suspect’s care arrangements were nor what conditions may have been attached to his bail. It sounds like the police believe he will never be fit to plead to this offence and need time to establish this.

[Alan C. Smith @algingersmith]

@archer_rs So that's 2.5mill. What about the other £497.5mill?

Presenter wages are such a red herring. You need name presenters for eyeballs, regardless of what we think of them. And you need to pay them. BBC already paying below market rate.

@archer_rs There are people of influence who are doing their best to ‘kill off’ the BBC.
The British public have a long tradition of trusting the BBC. Globally it is regarded as professional & dependable. No other uk broadcaster has the same reputation despite the constant cuts.#savetheBBC
