Rupert Lowe calling the Dunblane massacre "one murder" was not a mistake or a slip of the tongue. He deliberately downplayed a mass school shooting to appeal to an American pro-gun audience.

wow! rich people will continue holding entire economies hostage if there are modest redistributive policies that improve the industrial base & make the country more competitive and livable in the long run? never heard this one before!!

it’s socialism or barbarism and the stooges of parasitic capital have let their preferences be known!

With former financial trader Gary Stevenson advocating for a wealth tax of 2% on wealth above £10 million in a TV show this week, our poll last year found 75% of Britons would be in favour of such a tax

I'm tax expert Dan Niedle and let me tell you, the very wealthy people who pay my salary want you to know that if you raise taxes on them, they'll run off to Switzerland, look here's an argument they paid me to come up with for why they should be richer than god

Every political vehicle that Nigel Farage has ever conjured out of thin air, and every strategy he’s employed, has had one goal: to reverse the modest gains working-class people have made in their dignity and self-protection since WW2. A pure establishment reactionary.

[Samuel @deunenlightened]

@cymrurouge kind of agree but it feels important to take Farage down somehow

I really love “who’s going to pay for all this free soccer?”

"competitive market with businesses selling a product that obviously customers are willing to pay for"

Can you imagine using these words to describe children's football

[Jason Reid @JasonReidx]

Over the past few days, stuff like this has been so instructive in highlighting just how deep the rot of American exceptionalism is.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

This is an incredible level of shameless corruption.

[Stephen Smith @SteveNickSmith]

These are the inhumane cuts all the talking heads on TV are talking about that it is vital to make, just to line the pockets of a new generation of defence company shareholders. Voters elected Labour to make things better for the vulnerable and the government has failed miserably

“Controversial”

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"

Spot on!

Man that first sentence really doesn’t prepare you for the rest of the post

Labour sent this spy plane over Gaza daily for a year

Intelligence it collected was handed to the genocidal Israeli army in real-time

Labour’s commitment to the genocide of Palestinians has been unwavering for 80 years

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

How exactly are you supposed to have a "debate" about a genocidal apartheid State in a way that can't be considered "toxic" on some level?

This is not just a difference of opinion where everyone can shake hands and still be friends afterwards.

[Aydin Dikerdem @AydinDikerdem]

This is just unbelievable. The authoritarian overreach taking place without any mainstream
media scrutiny is astounding. Almost nothing on the National Security Bill going through this week either.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

I’m guessing this version of “from the river to the sea” will get zero media attention.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

One of Starmer’s final gifts to Britain will be to further criminalise journalism & corrode freedom of speech. He is an anti-democratic authoritarian
