“It was a parade that Charles insisted on at huge expense to the taxpayer, and this is on top of the huge inheritance tax bill he didn’t [have to] pay, on top of the £500m-a-year cost of the monarchy.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…

The £72 million + for King Charles Coronation is simply grotesque! Which makes Williams “I’ll end homelessness” even more grotesque! Can he not see the irony? What planet do they live on?

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Donald Trump is a corrupter, he is corrupting media commentators right now, in real time, I can see it, you can see it, they know it, columnists, editors, presenters… they are morphing their own politics to win favour…. This is how it works.

'This is one of the grimmest things I've ever read about my country.' 'They are taking the mickey!' @mrjamesob reacts to the Royal Family's 'obviously egregious and completely indefensible' receipt of millions in rent income from the NHS, schools, and the armed forces.

Once upon a time I thought the relationship between scientists and governments would be like that between a look-out and the captain of a ship You know, one warns of danger and the other takes appropriate action to keep everyone safe How fucking naive 😂😢

The @labour4europe meeting at #LabourConference24 is packed. Lots of interest in a UK - European Union rapprochement and in countering the vast costs of Brexit. Many pleas to rejoin at least the customs union and single market.

➡️ Share if you agree: The way the British media treat the royal family is antithetical to the values of this country.
Translation: William wears medals he's never actually earned. #AbolishTheMonarchy
