I’m basically not really using this anymore folks. I will still keep using it a little, I love the connections I’ve made on it & how good it used to be for news & comment and kind of feel I need to keep for work but now anything associated with Musk gives me the biggest ick so…

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced five "everyday fixes" ahead of the Budget
1. Carer's Allowance will be changed so carers no longer lose their entire benefit when they earn over the limit - instead, their support will reduce by £1 for every extra £1 they earn
2. Import tariffs will be removed on more than 100 products, including baked beans, chocolate and gherkins, to save households up to £21 on their food shop a year
3. Tax-free mileage rates for workers using their own cars will be made permanent at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, with the rate for additional miles rising from 25p to 35p
4. Parental pay will be extended to over 150,000 more parents a year, including self-employed fathers and partners
5. Hundreds more Post Office drop boxes will be rolled out to save people queueing at branches
Really sad to hear this.

This and the news out of Serbia is some wonderful political news to wake up to!

Pretty shameful to listen to @Guto_Harri dipping his toe in the gutter of homophobia on @BBCRadio4 Broadcasting House this morning, which even Paddy O’Connell seemed uncomfortable with.
Excellent stuff.

These people should go to jail.
EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.
The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.
‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.
But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.
The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.
‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.
Jesús!
Chilling piece about the QEUH, the Glasgow hospital with an unfortunate habit of killing its patients. This accusation is extraordinary and yet somehow also thoroughly unsurprising.

Donald Trump disgraced America today. He disgraced valor. He has sided with invaders, the killers and the rapists of Russia.
Trump is a weak coward who got 5 deferments from Vietnam and who loves and worships Russia and Putin imo and is not loyal to USA.

This is so incredibly irresponsible when nothing is known. It’s completely inflammatory.
Like... that season of Strange New Worlds was.... really really bad and it upsets me because I love Star Trek so much! I think the writing is just crap.
Utterly utterly heart breaking.
But this isn’t inevitable, this is a societal failure.
