Exciting news 💚⚡️

[Alexander Louis Sallons @sallonsax]

At Conference we passed a massive update to our economic policy, not that the media would tell you that.

Here @sheridanvk explains it all. 👇🏼

[CherryPickingCynic @CherryPicnCynic]

@BBCNewsnight Wow he’s trying to put spin on it. Of course he doesn’t have to treat its recommendations as binding.

Why doesn’t he pretend it’s locals rallying against a data centre? Or water nationalisation? He’s good at ignoring recommendations then.

[CherryPickingCynic @CherryPicnCynic]

OMG no way he said he RESPONDED!?!?!??

[Jon Wiltshire @JonWiltshire_]

"I spent my first three weeks as Prime Minister responding to the worst wildfires Britain has ever experienced".

- @andyburnham at #COP31

By "responding" I presume he means putting a temporary ban on disposable BBQs???

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

A "massive victory".

Great opportunity to share my dislike of the prominent Greens trying to discredit our policy making process.

I recommend others with similar viewpoints respond in mond

[CherryPickingCynic @CherryPicnCynic]

@Beyondtheheadl2 @RaniaKhalek Even if that’s true, at least they aren’t being paid to think that.

Billionaires have poured billions into AI. Now, with fears of an AI bubble bursting, there’s a rush to integrate it into everything ASAP. Yesterday, AI was reportedly rolled out at airports. Today, planes are grounded. At what point do we admit we’re living in a very selfish stupid expensive dumb costly experiment?

[CherryPickingCynic @CherryPicnCynic]

Thank god

[Ellen Sandell @ellensandell]

The Greens want to stop new AI data centres, until we have laws that protect our communities and environment.

We’ll also make tech corporations compensate residents who are already living with the damage that data centres cause 💚

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

Choosing the day that the AI bubble burst to announce this brain-dead dross is Pure Starmerism. You have to respect it.

[CherryPickingCynic @CherryPicnCynic]

@weltszznn Amen.

[Justintime @tykestakeonit]

That's strange because our standard of living is still going down.
So who's gaining? 🤔

[Raphael Dogg @raphaeldogg]

It took five months for Starmer's government to become really unpopular. @andyburnham's done it in three.

[C-Bo the Eggman @CBoTheEggman]

Deleting it like it's malware

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Rep. Melat Kiros:

“It has been disappointing how undemocratic the Hakeem Jeffries process has felt.

We beat incumbents in competetive elections and now we are just being told this is what the leadership is going to be.”

[Jon Wiltshire @JonWiltshire_]

The greatest threat to humanity isn't another nation.

It's our collective inability to recognise that we're all on the same side when it comes to survival.

And yet here we are, pouring extraordinary resources into an Ai arms race against each other, while placing even greater strain on the planet to be able to sustain human life.

Artificial intelligence seems to feed off of collective stupidity.

“Nothing stalls a revolution like the belief that it’s already happening.”

We're being sold change while the very systems destroying our society and planet remain firmly intact.

It's Orwellian doublethink on an industrial scale.

CLIMATE: Declare global climate leadership while expanding fossil fuel extraction.

GAZA: Condemn the humanitarian catastrophe while being fully comllicit in enabling war crimes, and brandishing anyone who criticises Israel as atisemitiic.

WATER: Condemn privatisation and decades of neglect while protecting private ownership and leaving commitment to vital infrastructure decades away.

INEQUALITY: Promise to tackle poverty while proposing welfare cuts that would push vulnerable young people further into it. Meanwhile, extreme wealth remains a pipe dream.

There's a pattern...

Acknowledge the crisis. Condemn the injustice. Promise change. PROTECT THE STATUS QUO.

And then gaslight the public into believing that this is what "doing things differently" looks like.

This isn't transformation. It's the politics of managed decline, being sold as progress. And the increasingly hostile treatment of those who challenge these contradictions should alarm every single one of us.

Stop listening to what politicians SAY. Look at what they actually DO.

Because nothing protects a broken system quite like convincing people it's being fixed, and nothing stalls a revolution like the belief that it's already happening.

I NEED @ManUtd to get Relegated. That is the only possibly method left to cut off the cancer that is billionaire ownership.

I feel sorry for the players and managers who want to build a legacy there. I don’t blame them.

I won’t be watching. #GGMU

[selene @fatyurilover300]

notice how absolutely nothing has gotten better in the UK. its almost like it wasnt even the issue to begin with

[CherryPickingCynic @CherryPicnCynic]

@faultlineworld Written with AI!? lol

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

Amazing how much of our economy revolves around the exponential growth of a technology that may or may not be involved in massive systemic disruptions while it makes people insane and illiterate with basically no recognizable upsides for most people

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Stark and depressing that it takes a no-hoper Tory to point out that there are genuinely fuck all jobs about at the minute.

Less than 700,000 open vacancies in the whole UK!
