There is an alternative to going after the poor, sick and disabled: tax the rich to ensure everybody can live in dignity.

Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@GreenManFest I saw "SOLD OUT" in almost all ticket type at 10:00.
Could you confirm whether all campervan tickets have *actually* now sold out (completed transactions rather than in baskets)? After retrying for almost 1hr, I've now got 2 adult tickets in my basket but there are no van tickets

After yesterday's march calling on the Duchy to restore ecosystems across Dartmoor, today we harvested and planted acorns at Piles Copse.

These will be planted out next year, protected from sheep grazing, and become part of Dartmoor's expanding temperate rainforest. 🌰🌱🌳

The number of current and former Tory MPs convicted of sex offences in this parliament alone is greater than the number of people convicted of voter ID fraud since 2010

In 2000, the remnants of British Leyland were sold to asset strippers for a tenner - no, I'm not joking - and 23 years later, we're paying hugely profitable BMW tens of millions of pounds to build Minis in Britain. This country needs a coherent industrial policy.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

£600m for BMW, £500m for Tata Steel and just £200m for the NHS winter crisis. Sunak's priorities are clear enough.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Under state ownership, Britain's steel industry was dependent on massive state subsidies. But thanks to privatisation, it is now ... oh, wait ...

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Lying little prick…

Sunak tells LBC listeners that the NHS waiting lists are caused by doctors striking.

So you know…

The waiting list was at 4 million pre-pandemic

It’s now at 7 million

And yet he’s blaming this on fewer than 10 days of strike action.

Unreal.

They're changing the Twitter logo to an "X".

Literally the icon I click on when I want to close something on my computer.

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

@CarolineLucas Thank you @CarolineLucas for all you have done - you have opened our eyes to the sadly rare, but hugely refreshing alternatives to a deeply entrenched business as usual in Westminster. You are a shining, principled and selfless example of how politics could be in this country 💚

Twitter leaves EU voluntary Code of Practice against disinformation.

But obligations remain. You can run but you can’t hide.

Beyond voluntary commitments, fighting disinformation will be legal obligation under #DSA as of August 25.

Our teams will be ready for enforcement.

@DominicRaab Perhaps you can spend some of your new-found spare time on learning about the Dover-Calais trade route.
