Wall-to-wall silence from the so-called free press

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

It is insane that the government didn't do its own costings for the largest local govt re-organisation in decades.

All 'savings' are based on a PWC report & result from things where PWC sells services: merging payroll, HR, IT, finance; service integration.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Documents obtained by Declassified suggest the government has allowed UK companies to send drone engines to Israel without export licences. https://t.co/dbULCEEdsL

The longer I work in psychiatry, the more & more I'm reminded that poverty is one of the most harmful factors (if not the most harmful factor) affecting peoples' mental health.

Former you say?

This is what they were doing

They got caught

Open and shut case. Hague. Now

[cool timothy @dreadconquest]

epic hague moment

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Watch how it worked.

LK: "do you believe there could be foreign influence behind that group"

Govt minister "I couldn't rule it out"

LK to Zarah Sultana mins later: "he implied.. there were very active questions about who is behind those protesters"

Smears & innuendo in action

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

It was painfully obvious Crick was right about this at the time. Do we think these questions are not being asked now because a) nobody knows the answers, or because b) everyone knows the answers very well?

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

On 5th July this year, Palestine Action was proscribed after a vote in Parliament invoking the Terrorism Act 2000.

Since then, police have made over 2,700 arrests for peacefully protesting. These arrests are unlawful.

Amnesty UK has intervened in the Judicial Review in the courts and over 130,000 Amnesty supporters have called on the UK government to stop the prosecution of peaceful protestors.

[Explorer Of Moments @ExplorerMoment]

The local chief of the Mandan tribes, Arkara and Hidatsa in North Dakota, weeps, forced to sign a treaty transferring the fertile lands on the Missouri River plain, the homeland of these tribes, under threat of the destruction of his entire people.

United States, 1948.

Socialism Vs Capitalism

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

A very normal headline from a very normal newspaper.

[No Question About That @nqatpod]

Every single time

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

These are my words and I stand by them:

"You have to question the morality of an individual whose government armed a genocide which cooked toddlers alive in rubble, routinely exterminated entire extended families, and shot dead starving civilians as they tried to get aid."

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

"Reed being let loose as a Christmas Day attack dog shows how worried Labour have become about Polanski and the Green Party,”

Really awkward for @SteveReedMP that it just drew lots of attention to the unlawful hacking of a website!
