lets see how long this lasts

@TertiaParte @AnthonyTheGay @MarkACollett Black people can discriminate and be racist but their "racism" is useless as they r the minority.. their racism has no power

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

He told the court that he picked up a kitchen knife to scare Aria and make her flinch. He said he was waving it around like he was fencing when she moved towards him. He then fled the scene and walked to a train station.

His mother had taken away his phone as punishment after he was expelled from school.

Witnesses said he told a group of children that he had killed someone by accident. He later used another boy’s phone to search, “what happens if you kill someone?”

A girl at the station then called the police.

Taped right next to the steering wheel was a small, laminated note. It read: "To my riders: I lost my son 3 days ago. If I speak, I will cry. I need to keep driving to afford his funeral. Please just let me drive you in silence. I am sorry."

My heart completely dropped. I sat there in the back seat, holding back tears, realizing this man was trapped in a moving metal box trying to survive the worst week of his life just to pay a bill. When we arrived, I didn't say a word. I just tipped him the maximum amount possible on the app and walked away. We really have no idea what the stranger next to us is carrying.

I got into an Uber today, and the driver didn't say a single word. No "hello," no confirmation of my name, nothing. He just stared straight ahead, gripping the wheel. I was honestly getting annoyed and ready to leave a 1-star review for bad customer service. Then, I noticed his dashboard.

Since Brexit everyone in the UK is on average £11,400 worse off.

Except Nigel Farage.

He received £5 million as a reward for Brexit.

I thought they were stealing your jobs

Hmmm

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Why are poor white pupils falling so far behind at school?

Sir John Townsley argues the problem is not primarily the education system, but a culture of low expectations that begins at home 👇

What’s wrong with the local comprehensive?

If state schools are good enough for everyone else, why not the future king?

Meanwhile, we’re expected to keep footing the bill.

One rule for them. Another for us.

Abolish the monarchy.

Workdays SHOULD be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There's no reason for people to spend most of their lives at work.
Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. That's why everyone is so miserable today.

[Leah Dionne @leahdionne__]

Here’s his face coz BBC clearly didn’t want to tweet it.
The usual suspects.

[Nat ✨ FREE 🇵🇸 @loopzoooop]

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt

[Callum Lyon @CallumLyon]

The UK economy basically works like this:

Get paid £2,000.

Give £900 to a landlord. Give £200 to the council. Give £150 to energy companies. Give £300 to supermarkets. Give £300 to car insurance and fuel.

Spend the rest surviving until next payday.

Then get lectured by someone who bought their house for £37,000 in 1988 about how you need to stop buying coffees and cancel subscriptions.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

[Deji Best @Deji_Best]

Can you provide an alternative?

Or will you sleep in the stock market?

[Sonny @thehonestletter]

Owning a £400,000 house with a £350,000 mortgage in the UK in 2026 means signing a 25-year contract to give the bank around £2,050 a month, in exchange for the right to maintain a building you'll spend another £4,000 a year keeping dry, warm and structurally sound.

At a 5% fixed rate, the total interest over the life of the mortgage is around £264,000. The total mortgage cost ends up at roughly £614,000.

The price tag on the front door says £400K. The actual cost of living in it for 25 years is closer to £750K, before council tax, repairs, insurance and the new boiler.

This is what the country has been calling 'getting on the ladder.'

Another nurse in Northern Ireland was chased and died during the race riots in 2024

[Demz @Demmy_Lad]

I feel like so many of us remember watching England Vs Brazil during school in 2002

[LeftSideOfHistory @leftsidehist]

Remember all the chat last week about how white people don’t randomly stab people on the street?

[J @BigJamzLdn]

Lucy Letby had an 8 baby kill streak and no one rioted

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white.

When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.
