Thrilled by the positive response to #Stephen but remember this isn’t history. Although the @metpoliceuk closed the case last year, the Lawrence family have only ever had partial justice. There are still three suspected killers walking free…

On Neurodiversity theory: "what might be understood as attempts to articulate the malaise of individualistic, alienated, and unembodied life end up doubling down on individualism and estrangement, leaving the conditions that produce suffering intact."

The greatest trick coffee pod companies ever pulled was convincing people to pay more for cheap coffee wrapped in trash.

Tens of billions of single-use coffee pods and capsules are used every year. Many are made from mixed plastic, foil, aluminum, filters, lids, and wet coffee grounds, which makes them annoying or impossible to recycle through normal curbside systems. Even the 'recyclable' ones often require special collection programs most people don't have easy access to.

The pod gives you one cup of coffee, then leaves behind a tiny piece of manufactured garbage that may outlive you.

A French press, drip maker, moka pot, pour-over, percolator, or reusable pod can make coffee every morning without throwing away a plastic capsule every time you wake up. The grounds can go in your compost.

This is one of those environmental swaps that is not complicated. You don't need a lifestyle overhaul. You don't need to become a coffee snob. You just need to make the switch.

Is the neurodiversity movement helping people find their 'true self' or is it accelerating the atomisation resulting from capitalist competition? https://t.co/yalaGT1ony

💥💥💥 Today, Mainstream publishes its first major research publication, The Productive State: A Framework for Manchesterism by Mathew Lawrence and Alex Williams.

It could not come at a more significant moment.

"The tragedy of neuro-identitarianism, though, is that in creating special interest groups defined by difference, competing for recognition alongside other identity-based movements, it forecloses the possibility of broader solidarity."

@psychgeist52 Exactly. Why is there such an aversion to contemplating that the common denominator might be “being human”. I shared some thoughts on this in MiA: https://t.co/8JTU97D5bY

On Alienation and the Chimeric Promise of Neuro-Identitarianism
By Joe Cottrell-Boyce

As provision of basic needs continues to atrophy, resistance takes an individualised, myopic form, dissipating collective pressure to demand the system be fixed.

@DespoticInroad Still bad wools though.

@lemnsissay @MichaelNAngus @coolkiddo @BBCRadio4 Hi Lemn, I’m not sure why you would say this, when the judgement is available for all to read? Key findings of mismanagement in charity commission report were upheld.

[Joe Cottrell-Boyce @JCBoyce85]

@lemnsissay @MichaelNAngus @coolkiddo @BBCRadio4 Working in Camden as a social worker during the same period I also experienced concerning practices & massively inflated claims re reach & impact. They weren’t exonerated - 2025 high court judgment upheld the finding of mismanagement.

[Joe Cottrell-Boyce @JCBoyce85]

@JDaviesPhD I think it’s more complicated — many Gen Z are politicised & link inequality to “mental health crisis”. Medicalisation is symptom of wider malaise; politics captured by hyper-liberal individualism, focused on self-advocacy & competing rights, with no concept of the common good.

This scale of corruption is hard to fathom. Mandelson has to do jail time surely.

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

Lord Mandelson gave Jeffrey Epstein advance notice of a €500bn bailout to save the Euro

He messaged Epstein about the bailout on the evening of May 9, 2010

It was formally announced the following morning

Starmer’s Control Freakery Is a Gift to Reform

My article for @tribunemagazine https://t.co/SPdiRiKIV3

[Joe Cottrell-Boyce @JCBoyce85]

@s8mb @Ben_Bradley_32 But surely following that logic, we should also abolish fathers?

[Compass @CompassOffice]

Labour's hyperfactional need for control has resulted in them alienating a majority of voters in Manchester - one of their historic strongholds.

It is vital that the people in Gorton & Denton have the final say in who their candidates are.

[Joe Cottrell-Boyce @JCBoyce85]

@KimJohnsonMP Can we still call it factionalism when the Starmer faction is just Keir, adrift on a raft, surrounded by screeching monkeys, having lost all his men?

[Joe Cottrell-Boyce @JCBoyce85]

I just signed a @mainstreamlbr petition - Guarantee a Fair and Open Selection for the Gorton and Denton By-election.

[Mainstream @mainstreamlbr]

Labour must reverse this decision if it is serious about putting country before party.

We urge the party to reconsider in the interests of taking on Reform and building the strongest possible team in Westminster.

Agree? Take action👇
