BBC: “What was your screen time?”

Student: “Nine hours.”

BBC: “You’re gong to have a lot more time to fill. What will you do?”

Student: “Stare at a wall.”

Wait, so the MPs largely voted against it and yet its still being implemented?

The fuck is the point in voting at this point

“Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards”
This is what Labour and the Conservatives now call freedom: proving who you are before you can speak, read or participate online.

They say this ban protects children from online predators. I’ve prosecuted those predators. Here’s what they don’t tell you.

We catch him. We charge him. Then he’s released on bail while the case crawls through the courts for a year. When he’s convicted, he doesn’t go to prison, he gets a suspended sentence or a community order.
Successive governments won’t lock up the actual predator, won’t take away the groomer’s freedom. But won’t hesitate to curb ours.

This mean students up to Year 11 will not be able to revise GCSE biology on Freesciencelessons YouTube channel.

This also mean a 15 years and 364 days old not be able to read Facebook posts from their MP or councillor, but expected to vote for them tomorrow.

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚

A total of 18 Ministers have RESIGNED under Starmer with 98 of his MP's also asking him to resign.

THEY ALL CAN'T BE WRONG

[Cav Senpai @cavannastan]

Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.

They did not accept.

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

[Andrew Snowden MP 🇬🇧 @A_J_Snowden]

Keir Starmer: "We don't have £4.5 billion for defence."

Keir Starmer the next day: "I’m announcing £4.5 billion for more cycle lanes and zebra crossings."

He’s just reached the point where he’s just laughing at us all now.

You really couldn't make it up.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

This is a painful, car crash interview.

Peter Kyle: I believe in the plan!

Naga Munchetty: When did you seen the plan?

Kyle: I haven’t.

Naga: Did Mr Healey and Al Carns see the plan?

Kyle: Of course!

Naga: So they’ve both seen the plan and resigned.

I’m sick of the way people drive in the countryside especially around blind bends

She was crying help but he drove off: driver left rider stuck under catastrophically injured pony after road collision

“It’s one of those country roads that’s narrow with high hedgerows and Sofia said she could hear a car coming so she stopped. It came round the corner, screeched its brakes, went into the hedge then smashed into Paddy and Sofia.

Things you didn’t vote for:

▪️Government controlled digital ID

▪️AI data centres guzzling natural resources

▪️£15bn tax money used to pay corporations to house illegal migrants

▪️Solar panels being plastered over thousands of acres of prime farmland

▪️Farmers being wilfully financially punished by the government and 7,000 farming businesses closing since Labour came into power

▪️Cutting the winter fuel payments from pensioners

▪️Increasing energy bills, council tax and food prices

▪️Appointing a friend of Jeffrey Epstein as the U.S. ambassador

▪️Record tax burden

▪️Increased unemployment

▪️£30bn on carbon capture machines

No one voted for this. It was never on offer.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.

[Buffy the misogynist slayer (cervix haver) @Opiumbrella]

Deniz was 16. He was used to pull carriages around central park so his human could make money. All day, every day. Deniz collapsed and died on the pavement in the park yesterday. Yet another in a long of these horses to die in NYC so people can exploit them. This practice should be outlawed. It’s selfish and unnecessary.
RIP Deniz. I’m sorry humans failed you ♥️

[The Best @TheBestqueenx]

When your government tells you; "we're all in the same boat!"

[Voters For Animal Rights @theanimalvoters]

Tonight, a carriage horse collapsed and died in Central Park. We do not yet know this horse’s name, age, history, or what caused their death — but we do know this: no horse should spend their life pulling a carriage through the streets of Manhattan.

We have seen this before. Ryder. Lady. Aisha. Charlie. Smoothie. And now another horse whose life ended on the pavement.

This moment demands more than outrage. It demands action. On Thursday, the City Council will reintroduce Ryder’s Law — legislation to finally transition New York City away from horse carriages and retire the horses to sanctuaries.

That future will include the workers, too. Carriage drivers deserve a real transition plan with stable jobs, protections, and benefits — and we are ready to work with TWU and all stakeholders to make that happen.

But doing nothing is not an option. Another horse is dead on the streets of New York City.

For the horses. For the workers. For New York City.

Pass Ryder’s Law.

[Tim Burchett @timburchett]

They need to outlaw this. Horse on hot concrete are a bad mix. Where are all the animal rights activists? Oh I forgot it’s New York.
