@alfiemoore Fantastic show in Cambridge last night. Extra credit for the absurdly quick-fire one-liners the moment an audience member admitted their name was Pilgrim. Some comedians tell jokes... others spot an opportunity and absolutely rinse it. Brilliant.
@DavidLammy Not once have you people asked yourselves why Britons feel they need to take to the streets and protest or why you were battered at the local elections.
No inquisition. No curiosity. No self reflection. Just name calling.
Total arrogance.
@Keir_Starmer@RachelReevesMP@Ed_Miliband No, we are just loosing out as we have to bale out the wind energy sector, anything that requires subsidies on that scale clearly isn't efficient, ironically
Obesity is not down to a gene, or we would see over weight people pre the 1970s and through-out history. Obesity is down to additives, processed foods, sugar added to everything, which has trained our taste buds to expect it, less physical jobs, more driving everywhere, less sport in schools and less physical activity in general. TOO MANY CALORIES. Think about it logically for just one second, if eating less didn’t mean we lost weight drugs like Mounjaro & Ozempic wouldn’t work. Weeks on an island with Bear Grylls wouldn’t we people lose weight, bypass operations wouldn’t work. It wont help us to lie or give excuses. If we want to find solutions, like everything we have to be truthful.
Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself.
The regime says it’s America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area. Here’s what Iranians inside Iran say:
IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they’ve kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors.
The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet. Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout.
As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We’re talking about new levels of evil.
So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their “don’t care how many die as long as we stay in power” quest.
For the love of God and humanity, please stop.

👀The Electoral Commission give Democracy Volunteers access to polling stations at election time. Only they and the police can go inside. They’ve just issued this report about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton:
Democracy Volunteers deployed four accredited election observers across the Gorton and Denton Westminster Parliamentary By-election today. The team attended 22 of the 45 polling stations in the constituency, spending between 30 and 45 minutes in each.
The observers worked in pairs using the international standard for election observation - the four eyes principle. Each team assessed several aspects of the polling process, from accessibility to issues around the integrity of the vote.
Staff were welcoming to the team and we would like to thank them for their time in accommodating our work.
The team assessed two significant aspects of electoral integrity - family voting (where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting) which breaches the secret ballot. The team also assessed the impact of the requirement for voters to show ID before they are issued with a ballot paper.
2023 saw the enactment of the Ballot Secrecy Act, which made the practice of family voting more clearly a breach of the secret ballot, making it more enforceable by staff in polling stations. Signage is now available to discourage the practice. Signage was only seen in 45% of the polling stations observed.
The observer team saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, some 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. The team observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes - meaning 12% of those voters observed either caused or were affected by family voting.
Commenting John Ault, Director of Democracy Volunteers said;
‘Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK.’
‘We rarely issue a report on the night of an election, but the data we have collected today on family voting, when compared to other recent by-elections, is extremely high.’
‘In the other recent Westminster parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby we saw family voting in 12% of polling stations, affecting 1% of voters. In Gorton and Denton, we observed family voting in 68% of polling stations, affecting 12% of those voters observed.’
The team also observed cases of voters being turned away, however, in each case this was due to them not being a registered voter for Westminster elections, such as having EU citizenship, and only being allowed to vote in local elections.
The team also saw a number of voters taking photographs of their ballot papers and one voter being authorised to vote despite them already having been marked as voted earlier in the day.
Democracy Volunteers has informed elections staff at Manchester City Council about our findings today.

@Keir_Starmer For the avoidance of doubt, could you please advise what the country you love is as it clearly isn't the UK, while we are at it, could you please also advise who you are fighting for.
Britain is filthy. Rubbish is everywhere. Drive anywhere, all you see is litter filling the sides of motorways. It's the same in parks. Any green space is just bursting with cans, crisp packets, bits of plastic. It is disgusting.
Clearly, people need to take responsibility and clean up their own filth. But we all know that isn't going to happen.
The solution?
If a healthy individual on benefits has refused work over and over, make them work. Litter picking, five days a week. Don't like it? No benefits.
Cut them off from their universal credit if they refuse.
It really is that simple. Provide a reasonable time period to find a job in the field they choose, but that cannot go on forever.
Can Britain afford to have millions of healthy Brits sitting on their arse all day doing sod all?
Obviously not. I say let's get them cleaning up Britain.
If you can contribute, you must contribute.
@zarahsultana Don't you get tired of spewing so much hate? May I suggest a different career or perhaps move abroad, for the sake of your future welfare, it can't be healthy to be so hateful of everything around you.
@HudaAmmori The mere fact that these terrorists were not immediately met with lethal force speaks volumes about the level of restraint and tolerance our nation displays. Few other militaries in the world would likely respond with such composure.
Wow. The Government has officially admitted to me that through the 'Government Communication Service' it 'collects, stores, and processes data from public social media posts.'
Why? 'to address potential mis/disinformation.'
They are using AI for 'information environment analysis'.
Posts about migration are included as part of 'wider thematic reporting'.
They 'share aggregate social media analysis with partner governments'. Strange, isn't it? Why would that be needed?

I've made an objection, and an official request. I suggest you do the same.
Share this to get the word out there...
Just getting ahead of future scandal: when I was about 6, I had a chocolate-brown teddy bear named “Chocky.” If I ever go into politics and some school “friends” try to cash in on this explosive revelation, consider this my official statement.
