That’s a new model though. No excuses.

This morning I’ve seen Olly Robbins’s appearance before the select committee described as ‘box office’, while a commentator flagged up another key political moment with the words ‘bring the popcorn’.

That’s one of our main problems right there.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Stick to trees.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Funding domestic terrorism.

Only the best movie ever made…

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

(h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

The very first thing Labour should have done was clear out the BBC. Until that happens, anything else they do is pointless.

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.

First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

That last goal was like at the cricket where people dress up an you get a load of butchers chasing a cow or whatever. Very very funny watching half the Burnley team chasing Jesus… #nffc

Haha fair enough.

Dreadful. Rubbish. Awful.

Yeah we were not ready for European football.

Fingers crossed…

Gibbs White’s been dreadful so far…

We seem to be doing our best to keep them up.

We deserve to go down. #nffc

*shitshow

Corporations:

I don't care what your incompetent consultants tell you; none of us wants to answer scores of questions to evaluate your service.

Ask *one* question to score our experience 1 to 10. Then leave us alone.

I'm not paid to spend half an hour helping you to run your business.

Instead of change, they’ll invent a new scheme.

Or estates (station wagons). The SUV shape handles worse, has less space in the back, and has an awkwardly shaped boot (trunk). Car manufacturers say it’s what people want. A bit like newspapers say they only print what sells. Both very doubtful.

Who knew that Harrison’s song would be the one people in 2026 remember and like the most?

#RISEUP We must be what they fear. The #USA is an evil Empire of corporate interests. There is no republic, no great leader coming to our rescue. Just regional managers as far as the eye can see.

You should indeed be embarrassed. Bye now.

Like Man U last week, Brighton have turned to absolute shit when we need them to win.
