A man known for animal abuse with a spaniel bred for extreme features that’ll lead to health issues has won Best In Show in @Crufts. This is disgraceful, poor dogs. Please do better and stop popularising these breeds #Crufts2026 !
oh good the discourse is pivoting to also talk about OCD, the disorder that destroyed my mind :) awesome :) surely people will have normal opinions about this :)
“i hope you die” is boring and basic. “i hope your favorite horror franchise becomes pro-israel, pro-AI, and does sponsored ads for gambling apps” is terrifying. its real. it could happen to you
Reform voters always on about having enough and wanting change but are gonna vote in the same party that ran this country into the ground because they painted the stand a lighter shade of blue
'Who is with us? The silent, decent majority of law-abiding people in this country.'
Nigel Farage introduces Suella Braverman on stage after her defection to Reform UK, claiming there are more senior political figures soon to follow.
Zack Polanski making the case for a wealth tax
Penny Mordaunt comes up with some random figures
Polanksi corrects her adding
"I'm not talking about hairdressers, plumbers, or people running small businesses. This is not a tax on ambition, this is a tax on people earning more money in their sleep than any of us could earn in our lifetime"
When PoliticsLive play Keir Starmer referring to those calling for a wealth tax as snake oil salesmen, Polanski responds,
"We need to bring CGT in line with income tax.. It's not just about a wealth tax"
"Every single pound we spend on public investment multiplies itself"
"It's outrageous as a country where people say the rich will get away with it. Well let's let them not get away with it. Let's make sure we tax people properly"
"This idea of austerity, trickle down economics, whether it's Thatcher, Blair, Cameron, Truss, Starmer, it has failed and failed, time and again"
"It's time for a new economic model and to turn our country around"
Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?"
Zack Polanski, "We need to have a conversation about privatisation, the water companies are the most obvious ones"
"It's often talked about, that taking water into public hands would be an experiment. It's completely the other way round. Privatisation was the experiment"
"And privatisation has utterly failed"
"Whether we're talking about the movement of council homes to private landlords. Or water companies who took our water infrastructure with £0 debt and now have £ billions in debt. They're pumping sewage into the water. And charging us extra for the privilege"
"I want to lower people's bills. People in this country are tired and exhausted. Wages are not going up but bills are going up. We need to lower bills and raise wages"
"One way to do this is to stop this exploitation of every single person in this country who uses a water company that has been sold off for private profit at our expense, and we're paying the consequences for that"
"The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership"
"Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"
You:
- Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week
- Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK
- Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime)
- Haven't stopped arms sales
- Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state
You have enabled a genocide.
#UK Government’s decision to label ‘Palestine Action’ a terrorist group raises serious concerns that counter-terrorism legislation is being applied to a group that is not terrorist in nature & risks hindering the legitimate exercise of fundamental freedoms.
The decision could lead to further chilling effect on the lawful exercise of these rights by many people - @volker_turk
