The next Labour government will make it a duty of all under 25s to have a Facebook page and to join at least one group of the What We Have Lost/Look At England Past type. They will not be allowed to post, but must read and like at least 200 posts a week.

Whoever wrote this tweet is a propagandist. Resign. I don't want to pay your salary, as I am forced to do by law because I want to watch live football the BBC isn't even showing.
I did the right things about my possible ADHD. I went to the GP, who was nice and referred me to a mental health team, who were nice, and gave me a telephone interview and a form to fill in, and now I'm on a probably years-long waiting list to see a specialist.
@SpookyLovejoy
it's amazing how poor at communication many politicians are. I agree with you on his views, and that he's exceptionally good at this sort of thing.
A great bit in Cass. "Most young people who take puberty blockers turn out to be trans. This means they aren't properly thinking about if they are trans."
Labour's previous record of using private sector investment? PFI. £13bn spent on the NHS which had cost us £80bn by 2019 and will be miles more by now. That's the best we could hope for from these ghouls it will surely be even worse this time around.
Laurence Fox is a national figure doing what he's doing because the BBC wanted him to be one and took the decisions to make him one. That's who they are.
@skippy_0h
He asked the press to stop doorstepping him in order to protect the safety of his neighbouts and because he'd been the subject of death threats. They turned up and made racist remarks about a woman speaking Spanish.
@StreathamRovers
Let's hope they can teach some accuracy to our misfiring forward line!* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Without enouraging Geoff and the lads to do more war crimes.
I realise now that I'm still upset about stuff that happened in 2017 - 19 because I never got any closure on it. Incredible media misbehaviour and no-one ever took it up and made it official. Basically, they all got away with it.
Annoyed by inbred lying scum Harry Cole I checked the footage of this question. Dr Khan is, as you would expect from the report by disgusting lying scum Harry Cole, speaking perfectly calmly. I can only assume foul lying shit Harry Cole was motivated by racism and misogyny.
I remember reading about "terror" attacks that only exist in extreme right-wing circles in Germany. They put out a rumour about the identity of the perpertrator, and then when it's not backed up they describe it as hushed up by the MSM and authorities.
Speculation about a male-sounding alias used by the shooter in an incident at a Houston megachurch led to widespread false reports that shooter Genesse Moreno, was a trans woman.
Despite being found false, the belief the shooter was trans has solidified among the far right.
I used to go on Question Time about once a year, then I wrote this column about its handling of racism.
Ever since, the programme blacklisted me.
I'd be fine with that if they didn't put on a raging extremist like this to spread nauseating atrocity denial.
I complained about this. They did put a clarification on their website and Bruce said something the week after. That covers the factual "error" but it doesn't address the tone with which Bruce speaks.
On Question Time in early 2019 Diane Abbott said Lab & the Tories were level pegging in the polls overall & the host, Fiona Bruce, interrupted, "No you're behind Diane. Definitely". Cue audience sniggers & grinning fellow panellists
Except Diane was right & Fiona Bruce was lying
I've submitted 2 songs to

as potential anthems: Streatham Family (Hide the Pain Inside) and No Need for VAR in My Heart (I love Streatham) and both are better than this. CORRUPTION!
ANNOUNCEMENT: We are delighted to officially reveal

This song will be played as the players emerge onto the pitch before every single home match at the Greyhound Lane stadium, starting from tomorrow's Xtermin8 League fixture.

Nice that one of Britain's most high-profile, successful journalists who's shaped conversation for decades should casually lie when he thinks he can get away with it. The day after one of Britain's most high-profile... ...casually spout insane racism when he thinks he can get...
Looks like someone else "experiments with editing", hey, Terry? Look at the man in the cap - one purple and one green. It's the same geezer! What are you playing at
@StreathamRovers
? What are you trying to hide? What's the truth?
Just been sent this photo. Two so-called "fans" decide they've seen enough and leaving the game early but rather than making a dignified quiet exit they storm out as demonstratively as possible, pausing only to scream abuse at a local news photographer. What a complete disgrace.
Journalistic caution? But I recall the BBC running a live, breaking news broadcast with all their security corespondents talking about ISIS terrorism when a car was driven into a bar in Germany, only to shut it all down and back away when it turned out to be a white, German man.
The state propagandist headline and story is scrubbed of key details as expected. Compare and contrast with what we all know. The BBC write up, ludicrously brief under the guise of being "breaking news" all these hours later, is the last screenshot
And knowing, or feeling one knows, that there's a possible course of action that would alleviate some of the problems in one's life but it's out of reach and always has been is upsetting. I worry that if I go back to the GP with my distress I'll end up on antidepressants I don't
@StreathamRovers
Originally Greyhound Lane was named Graham Lane but the name was changed by local misunderstanding. The original Graham was a butcher who sold poisoned meat and was executed at Newgate. Why can't we have him no the badge?
I don't quite know what to do. I'm old for this, I may well not get prescribed any drug treatment in any case, and it's just a matter of getting along with how I am, and really how I've always been. But it's been a distressing experience. I contacted the Samaritans at one point.
As I was walking up to PSU in Portland, Oregon, a car turned down an alley in front of me where the crowd of protestors were standing. On the dash was a can of bear mace and the license plate holder read "we the people". This wasn't an accident.
The driver accelerated towards
A deranged rant from proud Islamophobe Melanie Phillips in which she claims Gazans aren't being starved because she's seen videos of stocked shelves on YouTube
I'm not a better partner, employee, or person... I feel another crisis is on the way. It's been a very mixed thing this knowledge, but you can't know what might have happened had you not explored this.
Hey hey. x
The deliberate, decades-long conspiracy against taking action on climate is a crime against humanity and those responsible (basically all current political, media, business leaders) must face accountability for it.
The Guardian asked 380 scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change how much global temperatures will rise.
77% expect a rise of at least 2.5C. Almost half anticipate a 3C increase. Only 6% believe the 1.5C target will be met.
Poor Sir Keir must just be the unluckiest anti-racist there is.
Like he's the unluckiest human rights lawyer who accidentally supported all those war crimes.
Ed Balls is basically representing the Labour Party in this clip. I don't know what it is, but it's not journalism in any useful sense of the word. What a farce.
.
@AvaSantina
: "Is Keir Starmer, aided by Peter Mandelson, who is advising the party at the moment..."
Ed Balls: "Mandelson... advising the party? Whether he actually is I'm not so sure"
"I have been in the presence of shadow ministers when they've had phone calls from him"
The Spectator and the Guardian functionally indistinguishable here: if you don’t want *the for real, actual racist far right of the Tory Party*, then you are a self-indulgent wanker who should shut up and fuck off. I advise people to listen to what these people are saying to you.
That Yanis Varoufakis clip, which isn't even very clear, from Question Time went viral because he was pretty much the first person to say: The economy isn't like a household budget, when the entire political and media class KNOW THAT THAT IS THE CASE.
It's mad how enormous and intertwined with media/politics these big communication and public affairs (lobbying) companies are and how little they are reported on by political media.
Luke Baker is the “head of media strategy” for Portland Communications PR. His bio says he advises UK and intl clients on crisis management. Was he advising the Israeli govt when he questioned the Palestinian death toll and urged journalists to say “Hamas-run” health ministry?
Really excited for tomorrow's

The list of course includes the three most influential newspaper editors in the UK (Times, Mail, Sun), because that's how you succeed in this industry.
Around 70 serving and former Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday journalists have been named in Prince Harry's unlawful newsgathering claim against the titles after the lifting of reporting restrictions yesterday
@transscribe
I've seen posted that the BBC's position is that if a trans person appears on the BBC talking about anything to do with trans life then a gender critical person must also appear to "balance" them. *You'd need to check this with someone who knows better than me*
The Zionist who put a bomb on an Australian guy’s car because he had the 🇵🇸 flag in his yard has been sentenced. It hardly made national & global headlines + didn’t get the media treatment that protesting a genocide has gotten

justwhat they're missing out on by fighting a giant blue frog at the highest level.
Do watch, please. It happens all the time. Ask why. I remember the BBC devoting the whole news channel to a vehicle driving into a bar in Germany only to switch it all off when it became apparent it wasn't an IS-related attack. Why?
Now watch as the horrible Sydney attack drops off international news headlines because it can't be milked as a terrorist attack
It could of course put focus on the lack of mental health support or wider safety nets etc, but that would mean our eyes are on the wrong targets...

The British media supports and promotes right-wing and reactionary politics deliberately and dishonestly because it is their job, it is their view, it is what they enjoy doing and what they intend to do.
There it is! The first mention of the Greens on Sky News. I’ve been watching since about 7:30am, non stop election discussion, interview with Reform UK leader, lots of discussion of Reform. At 8:35am one mention in one sentence about the Greens!
It's my birthday!!! and I think for the last time all I can wish for is as many of you attempting to get random celebs to wish me a happy birthday as possible. Thanks in advance!
the figures in colonial genocides are huge. I remember chancing upon the German colonial genocides in Wikipedia, and it was hundreds of thousands of people killed extremely quickly and deliberately. In my experience almost no-one knows about it.
On this day in 1899, the US started what became known as the “first Vietnam” when it began colonizing the Philippines. During the “Philippine-American War”, up to 1.4 million Filipinos were massacred. 🧵
BBC ran this (sourced from page 5 of the Sun with a video that probably broke press harrassment rules) as 2nd item in radio news bulletins for a whole morning. I read here it was 1st item on Radio2. Some reports inaccurately said she had broken the law rather than TFL rules.
There was more outrage when Diane Abbott drank a can of Mojito on a train than an incredibly rich Tory-loving man saying 'she should be shot' and 'she makes him hate all Black women'
Alan has totally fucked this ap. Any trend or search is useless. You can't follow breaking news or even easily find the score in a match any more. What a loser.
Ordering people from their homes at the pain of being killed by military action is not "evacuating" them, it is expelling them. The Israeli government can issue its statements but journalists are allowed to use their own, more accurage language.
