RT @sambbury: i don't know, should they be allowed to get this? what if they regret their decision later in life?

1/ Tony Blair's new essay wants Britain to drill the North Sea, bet everything on AI, and tie itself to Trump's America. Each one is a bet against the actual future - and the Blair never notices. It's a Victorian answer to a 21st-century crisis 🧵bylinetimes.com/2026/05/29/t…

Big news from Australia 🇦🇺 A new study tracked 15 companies that switched to a 4-day work week (100% pay, 80% hours, 100% output). Results? • 14 out of 15 companies decided to keep it permanently • Zero reported a drop in productivity • 6 companies actually saw productivity increase Less burnout, same (or better) output. The 4-day week is no longer just a dream, the data backs it up.

These images show 2 High Speed Rail systems. Guess wich costed more to build? 😶

Imagine writing that Europe can't build high speed rail while in Spain, the free world's standout example of building high speed rail. And metros. And solar. And all the rest. Imagine it. FFS.

Well that's day 3 of the party with 402 MPs being mad at the party with 5 MPs for not doing everything they can to help stop the party with 8 MPs from having 9 MPs and thus inevitably becoming the government through no fault of the aforementioned 402 MP party.

Jenrick "where are we?" "You're in a different party" This is hilarious. What a put down.

I’m an immigrant who’s lived and worked in the UK for 16 years. I have a North American accent and I’m white. I’ve never once been told to ‘go back’ to my ‘shithole country’ or to ‘stop stealing jobs from British people’. You’re not concerned about immigration. You’re racist.

I didn't know Helen of Troy could generate so much conflict.

FINALLY Streeting mentions the elephant - and moves the Overton Window.

So let me get this right. - UK economy outperformed expectations, growing in March despite Iran. - Unemployment down from 5.1 to 4.9%. - Waiting lists coming down - Progress finally being made on restoring ties with Europe. @wesstreeting @Ed_Miliband why derail this now.

Finally, CHAOS WITH ED MILLIBAND!!!!!!

🚨 NEW: Ministers believe Ed Miliband will be the next PM if Wes Streeting triggers a leadership contest tomorrow [@thetimes]

After weeks of attacking Zack Polanski Our media are now going after Keir Starmer I don't agree with every Green policy but I do agree with quite a few And I don't like many of Keir Starmer's policy decisions either But the way Polanski and Starmer are being targeted by the media in this way is really disturbing The sad part is that Starmer jumped on the bandwagon to criticise the Polanksi and the Greens And what should be happening is Labour and the Greens finding things in common and working together on them We need less hysteria in politics and more co-operation from centre-left parties Because as long as the two fight, the far right will lap up the division and come sweeping in, even though when scrutinised so much of what they say falls apart

Finally, after exhausting every other option, Britain is ready for chaos with Ed Miliband.

Whats mental is if he just went, fuck it - rejoin EU, nationalise rail, nationalise water & do a wealth tax He’d become a hero overnight

THREE FUCKING TIMES!!!!

If Labour MPs detonate this government, the calls for an early general election will be immediate. Reform will claim that whoever succeeds Starmer will be illegitimate, because they didn’t win the election. The media will hound them, as relentlessly as they have Starmer, and the cycle continues. This all plays into Reform’s hands. It’s exactly what they want.

Some of you guys are alright. Don't be alive on May 15, 2026, when I set off the global pandemic which shall come to be referred to by the struggling, tormented survivors as "The Event".
