Grenfell official response was so much about managing down and suppressing the anger. It’s absolutely necessary that reality is confronted. The morning of 15th June as smoke clears. The day that it dawns on me, 9 years ago, the true extent of our abject failure. I am so sorry

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro

Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.

Please RT this until this until he no longer is.

Thank you

NEW: Why did Nigel Farage throw the 2019 ‘Brexit’ election for Boris Johnson? What does it have to do with Harborne’s £5m gift? And why is it tearing apart Britain’s far-right parties?

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

A giant Elon Musk inflatable has been erected in Time Square, New York, protesting against his AI chatbot Grok.

The effigy accuses SpaceX’s Grok of making AI child porn.

The protest comes as Musk floats his company on the UK stock market.

X says it has restricted Grok’s ability to edit images of real people and it removes illegal content from its platform.

🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees.

Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare.

His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners.

What fresh hell is this? The Spectator goes all in on Palantir, calling its critics victims of "Palantir Derangement Syndrome". What the magazine won't say:

🔺Spectator is owned by Paul Marshall, co-founder of Marshall Wace - which holds some 2.3 million shares worth $380m in... Palantir.

🔺Michael Gibson, who wrote this pro-Palantir screed for The Spectator, co-ran the Thiel Fellowship with Palantir owner Peter Thiel from 2010 to 2015. Thiel then backed Gibson's 1517 fund.

🔺Palantir's primary owner, Peter Thiel, was a happy business partner with convicted serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein - Epstein's other business partner, former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, described Thiel and Epstein as "co-owners" of their venture fund. Thiel's investment w/Epstein contributed to the single largest asset in Epstein's estate.

🔺We don't need a democracy hating giant surveillance-defence contractor owned by Epstein's business partner and alleged fund "co-owner" to infiltrate the NHS. Estonia, Denmark, and Israel manage complex national electronic health records without reliance on private defence platforms.

🔺There is a war on for your mind being waged by investors and media owners who have benefited directly from Peter Thiel and Palantir.

Maybe Britain doesn't need friends and business partners of child rapists, nor people who would profit from them, running our health and security systems? Who is really deranged here? 👀

Here’s Darren Medhurst (36) another Southampton Farage rioter who has just been jailed for three years, three months. ‘Concerned citizen’ Medhurst has 51 previous convictions for 96 offences, including handling stolen goods, burglary and shoplifting. A parasite, NOT a patriot.

Caroline Lucas, "What happened on the streets of Belfast was being orchestrated by the far right, by Elon Musk, by a network of people who want this to happen"

Then Paul Brand's response is exactly why @mehdirhasan has set up Zeteo UK

PB jumps from the far right inflaming tensions, to criticising the Green Party saying they have a liberal approach to asylum and immigration

When Caroline Lucas again tries to make her point, "There's a huge amount of hysteria being whipped up against immigration, there are people whose agenda it is to use these terrible moments"

She's then cut off

Caroline Lucas trying to make the point that social media is being exploited to fan the flames of violence and division, but instead of talking about this, the broadcasters deflect and dismiss her observations

Really disappointing

[Zeteo UK @zeteouk]

Why is Elon Musk "obsessed" with amplifying far-right voices in the UK? To advance his "very racist agenda."

@mehdirhasan breaks down why Musk wants to influence British politics – just as the SpaceX IPO could soon make him a trillionaire.
