@narindertweets To be fair, as a photographer I’m fully aware of how incorrect colour temperature correction can make teeth yellow.

I’d rather say, ‘he still didn’t hire a decent photographer’

Gap to double check this was the actual Donald Trump

Yes, yes it is and he posted whatever this is supposed to be

I’m not American but project 2025 it’s still concerning

Please my American friends, make sure you vote

Get your friends and family to vote

Whatever your political inclinations, project 2025 is about stripping you of all your rights

BREAKING: our friends at @ClimateReport_ have been undercover in Project 2025 - the radical plan for a Trump 2nd term. What they’ve found out is remarkable.

What I find really ironic is it won’t be the left wing views on platforming hate speech and inciting violence that gets Musk and X in court/shutdown

It’ll be capitalist IP and copyright lawyers

@Esqueer_ Getting x shut down speedrun any %

@Bill_Hogarth Literally did this about a week ago, no lettuce joke and a current MP

@LozzaFox If we were still in the EU you wouldn’t need to seek asylum 👍🏻

@englishsportfan @rorymeakin A group chat on WhatsApp is not a private conversation

Plus if that message results in an illegal action then it is evidence of prior knowledge

Everyone in the UK should be permitted to carry a hand gun for self defence. The current law dates from a time when the country was far safer than it is now. It needs to be updated to reflect reality and to let us defend ourselves in the violent dystopia being forced upon us.

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

@patcondell Worked out well last time

@DreamLeaf5 Distinct lack of black mould on the walls in that video 🤔

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

@realCarrickRyan I hate to outright dismiss art, everyone deserves guidance, advice and critical feedback in order to fulfil their potential.

But that is objectively the worst painting I have ever seen

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

In one sentence…

Explain to me exactly how white people are being marginalised and “legislated against”?

Not being able to say N***** or P*** does not count, and no that’s not an example of your freedom of speech being taken away

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

The people complaining about teens getting convictions for violent public disorder

Are the same people claiming we should be allowed to beat kids and bring back corporal punishment in schools.

There is no middle ground for these people and their logic won gold in gymnastics

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

Thank God this 13 year old girl is off the streets! I feel safer already.

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

@rorymeakin That’s not censorship.

You are completely free to say anything you want, even if it upsets someone or hurts their feelings

It just means your not protected from being sued or prosecuted when you tell a lie or make a threat which harms other people

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

@AEHALL1983 Funny that, where I live the education rates are in the bottom 3 nationally despite being a major city with several prominent and well regarded universities.

Figures that correlate with the poverty rates and conveniently both in line with Tories increasing tuition fees 3 fold

[Harley Bainbridge @HBainbridge]

@rorymeakin That’s the caveat that means you, as in you yourself, can sue someone for writing or declaring something about you that is not true.

It’s also the caveat that means it’s not free speech when someone threatens to kill
