It's not a coincidence that the richest man in history is also the saddest, most pathetic, unlikeable cunt in history

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The good people in Belfast came out in force to protest against the far-right.

@Capt_Fishpaste I think it shows up how naff the coat of arms badge is - absolutely ruins the whole design aesthetic.

[Richard Corbett @RichardGCorbett]

Ten years ago next week, the Labour MP Jo Cox was stabbed and killed by a white supremacist born in Scotland who hated her support for remaining in the European Union.
Farage and his far-right supporters didn’t give a damn.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

People outraged by the attempted murder of an innocent man express themselves by attempting to murder innocent people.
Amoral
Hypocritical
Stupid
Wicked
Racist
Fools.

[𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓸𝓽𝓽𝓮 @charlotteukcity]

The same people who are setting buses & houses alight in Belfast, with people in them, are the ones professing to take a moral high ground. I hold them all responsible for attempted murder, plus the RW media & politicians in Reform & Restore Britain who sow hatred & division.

The Kane Gang had a new entry with Motortown in the UK charts this chart week in 1987.

Later to be a US Billboard Top 40 hit!

There’s a New Age Dawning.…!

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

@alexmassie @afneil Simple fact: Andy Burnham is not impressive.

[Martin Brammer @MartinBrammer]

@DanNeidle Wait, you mean @AndyBurnhamGM hasn’t thought things through?
But it sounds like an easy win?
Oh, both of these things are true 🤷🏻‍♂️

@profanityswan Clearly not Peter.
Too much expression

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

[quibble @quibbleUK]

Hello, we are Jonathan and Abigail - unashamed pedants who want to bring this affliction to bear on all things public policy and practice.
We believe that details matter, especially in public administration. This is why today we are founding quibble: a campaign to fix the small stuff.
Think, for example, about the cookie banner that we click on every webpage. Each instance is not a big deal, so we just put up with it. But its cumulative impact adds up - on average we press it 5 times per day. The European Commission estimates that it costs EU citizens 343 million hours per year.
And who is there to represent the impacts of seemingly minor issues like this in a systematic way? We want quibble to be the answer. In the case of the cookie banner, lots of advocacy has rightly focused on privacy, but has this meant that user experience has taken a backseat? We believe there are ways to improve user experience without compromising on privacy. We will share more about this soon.
Consider another example. Did you know that in some government-run car parks you can be fined for a minor keying error, such as accidentally typing a zero instead of an “o”? Again, we will come to the detail of this quibble in the coming weeks, but for now just consider again the question: who? Who is there currently to systematically represent the interests of the parker who is given an unfair ticket?
An inherent feature of consumer interests is that those who have them rarely have enough other things in common to make collective organisation and representation feasible. This is the gap that quibble seeks to fill. Now of course excellent consumer interest groups exist. But understandably quibbles might not be at the top of their lists. Our hope is that quibble will be complementary; picking up the bottom-of-the-list issues faced by various groups - the stuff they are almost too embarrassed to raise because they are too small.
We are not embarrassed about detail. If you’ve ever had a splinter, you know small things can have a big impact. This is what quibble is committed to tackling, and our wider hope is that by doing so we will also incentivise policy makers to be even more careful about detail.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

@Galafoxes @FromtheJam1 @jamthrawn @official_fyc How was Roland?
