1/ "Boris did/not go to Perugia in Italy" - why does this matter? A thread.

Background first. On the 17th Sept, officials at Perugia airport said Johnson was there "in the last few days". Later they confirmed he "landed on the 11th at 2pm and left on the 14th at 7:45am".

We should start naming heatwaves, as we do for storms, except they should be named after the companies that cause the most climate change.

The "2026 Heatwave" becomes "Heatwave Drax Power Station"

The Burnham coup is complete.

A few days ago, I was invited to the Houses of Parliament in London, and one thing was abundantly clear: the lobby are back in power.

Here are the individuals REALLY pulling the strings in Andy Burnham’s government:🧵

The problem folk have with £2 bus fares, VAT cut on your leccy bill, and business rate cuts for pubs and restaurants is that they are scraps thrown from the table of rampant Capitalism.

None of these things changes the material conditions of life.

They are scraps.

@samuel_leeds @DanNeidle Dan "it says 'don't bother taxing the rich', see?"
Gary "it actually says 'don't bother taxing the rich on a one-off, think about doing it permanently'"

Dan "it might take a year"
Gary "wealth inequality is out of control, bro"

Dan "you're a nicompoop"
Gary "I'm an economist"

Just got off the phone with my college roommate.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.

He told me he’s not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.

I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.

I really don’t.

Please stop repeating the lie that "Hamas killed 1200 people on October 7"

Repeating it over and over doesn't make it true.

First, the official number of dead is 1139. Second, and most important, we have no idea how many people Hamas killed or whom they killed.

It is now an uncontested fact—supported by video evidence, victim and eyewitness testimonies, and journalist investigations—that Israel deployed their Hannibal Directive, killing an unknown "hundreds" of Israelis.

It is a fact that ALL of those burned cars (hundreds), are the result of Israeli Apache helicopters incinerating them and everyone inside them. There were at least 28 helicopters, who had to restock their weapons and refuel at least once. Each Apache carries 16 hellfire missiles, 70 Hydra-70 rockets, and 1,200 30mm cannon rounds. And each of them emptied all their munitions on that day.

In addition to the Apaches, Israeli tanks fired onto Israeli homes, knowing their citizens were inside.

Predictably, there has been no meaningful investigation into what happened that day. Until then, it is dishonest to keep repeating this zionist lie.

It is a lie! Just like the 40 beheaded babies were a lie. Just like the mass rape was a lie. The babies in ovens. The cut off breasts.

I just shared the link to that BBC documentary because it was removed at the behest of zionists. But it too is problematic because it begins with that same lie. Pay attention, please. Lives are at stake.

Bills up.

Wages too low.

Record profits for Oil & Gas.

50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population.

Shit in our rivers.

Pensioners jailed for protesting.

Migrants thrown under the bus.

Supporting a Genocide.

That's Starmer's legacy.

"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property."

Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time.

@CambridgeRed I'd rather ground-share with County for a season whilst they do up the City Ground than move elsewhere.
