Sorry but there are too many to even begin replying to them all.
So if you need help: 🧵

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Our local small Morrisons is closing . It hosts a Post Office. We are left, as a large village of 9000 people with no access to cash except one ATM. Bad news for the elderly with mobility issues

Weird. It's almost as if COVID antivaccine conspiracy people are lying liars.

Football should bring people together, not shut them out.

For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right.

This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club.

Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match.

I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.

The BBC went “enough of this yank bullshit” and I am HERE FOR IT

Collapsing immigration has seen a narrative switch - to 'alarming exodus of Brits'.

In fact, the outflow - in both total and age composition - has been remarkably steady. Brits and Kiwis have long been massive wanderers.

From Table 7a.

If Ebola becomes a pandemic, it will be in no small part because millions of people now view public health measures as oppression rather than the most basic infrastructure of a functioning and sustainable civilization.

When VAT was cut on tampons and ebooks, prices didn’t fall - the suppliers kept the benefit.

Unclear why this will be different.

NEW: Net migration has fallen to 171,000 in 2025- lowest level since 2021 and covid pandemic.

Director Christopher Nolan brought 60 Minutes to Fotokem in Burbank, California, to watch their artists assemble and color correct final release prints of “The Odyssey.” It's the only motion picture film lab in the world that still produces 70 millimeter prints.

Nolan told Scott Pelley, “It’s a really marvelous thing to see… in this age of digitization, AI, all the rest, this is a human process. An analog process.”

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?”

Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs.

Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs.

Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs.

But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI, it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."

One of the most effective bits of political communication on the left I’ve seen in a long time. A message and a powerful messenger.

[theselongwars @theselongwars_]

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

So help me.. Migration is dropping.. Economy is recovering.. UK foreign policy is effectively navigating a historically risky world.. But @UKLabour needs to push @Keir_Starmer out?

BREAKING:

British Gas has agreed a huge settlement worth more than £100million for customers affected by the prepayment meter scandal.

This will be made up of compensation, debt write-offs and redress/support funds.

In 2023 I went undercover as a British Gas debt agent..
