NEW: Ten years on, Prime Minister @andyburnham tells @campbellclaret & @RoryStewartUK that there was ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote.
FINALLY after years of cover-ups & denials from the highest levels of the UK govt. That in itself deserves an inquiry.

You won’t see anywhere near as much conversation about this as you did the triple lock- despite both being proposals post the next election
People simply do not care about the young
Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd
Highkey the quickest path to trans acceptance is to have some corny safe but likable fictional character that even 80 year old politicians will see and go aw maybe they do deserve rights
So we should ask the obvious question: Why does spray paint on a rich man’s golf course draw the full weight of anti-terror law, when the demolition of homes and the burning of groves draws only statements of concern?
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
