The British Library plans to turn three public reading rooms into commercial workspaces to plug its funding gap. Its government funding is worth just two-thirds of its 2010 value in real terms. Labour should be reversing that decline. Fund it properly and keep these spaces public. Tragically, Labour isn’t reversing NHS privatisation either. Private providers received £14.1bn in 2024/25, and the government remains committed to using them. What kind of Labour Party is comfortable with the privatisation of our libraries, our healthcare and our public services?

Still one of the creepiest scenes in Dune. Young Alia with those glowing blue eyes calmly walking in as Muad’Dib’s messenger and getting inside the Reverend Mother’s mind until she’s forced to name her is pure nightmare. Hoping Dune Part Three gives us an Alia this unsettling. Bring that same quiet dread.

Not only that. The privatised telecoms companies are making money from selling off all the copper that was originally paid for by the state when the grid was constructed. Outrageous legalised plunder
"The UK's copper wire landline system - which would work even in a power cut - will be switched off on 31 January 2027." Incredible. There's a link to the govt messages that will be broadcast if the internet goes down.

This is so strong and clear. You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly. The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

Not enough people are talking about how this British MP has said that in a British court of law, you will be guilty until your prove yourself innocent

Our country is genuinely run by incredibly boring, fun-hating, sexless, nightlife-destroying, culture-eroding, pencil pushers. I want MPs who've had orgies and have snorted lines of coke off a man's dick. Instead we have strictly-missionary-no-blowie legislation being tabled

Notice how she didn't say the prosecution has to prove harm, but that the defendant has to prove a lack of harm? Sex workers are often the canary in the coal mines when it comes to legislation. They're trying out "guilty until proven innocent" on us now. It'll be you tomorrow.

I assumed it was made up. It's not. Apple Maps has reinstated old imagery of Gaza. So all the buildings still exist. The left is Apple and the right is Google of Rafah, a city that is entirely "erased" by the IOF. What stage of propaganda for Israel is this?

This is how fucking pathetic & ridiculous you look when you cede moral and legal control of your country to Tel Aviv.
Metropolitan Police arrest a 94 year-old-woman for words of support for Palestine on a placard.

Nuclear apocalypse is coming; the job market is destroyed; the genocide is ongoing; food prices continue to rise; gas and energy are unaffordable. Some Labour MP: Oi, you, you better not be having oral sex.

Bloke walked less than 4 miles a day. I've walked further just to go to the pub. He's not a hero. He left his family for 28 years! He's a prick. – at Scunthorpe, England
Karl Bushby has arrived home in Hull after walking 30,000 miles over the last 28 years. He set off from southern Chile in 1998, aged 28, promising to walk all the way home. Sky's @ShingiMararike caught up with Karl as he headed home to see his mum trib.al/KLEvD1M

rereading Dune and just came across the line “Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” Frank Herbert was a prophet

Hi @andyburnham arrested for holding up the tweet posted by the wife of the UK's National Security Advisor Starmer, Cooper, Mahmood, are you really comfortable making this part of your legacy too?
ARRESTED WITH SARAH HELM'S WORDS A woman has just been arrested outside the US Embassy in London for holding a sign with words mirroring the ones that the National Security Advisor's wife tweeted, and for which @metpoliceuk declared "did not meet the criminal threshold".

Britain was very famously not Christian and in fact very pagan before the 7th century and even had a resurgence when the vikings invaded. Even now the majority of Brits are atheist so take your evangelist ass to America.
Britain is not ‘multiracial’. We have always been White. Britain is not ‘multi-faith’. We have always been Christian. Britain is not ‘multicultural’. We have always been culturally homogeneous. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I know everyone will talk about Patrick Stewart founding the X Men and ordering Earl Grey Tea in space, but- I'd like to remind people he also saved the Royal Pug of House Atreides! Absolute legend.

"Time is a companion who goes with us on the journey." Gutted to hear Sir Patrick Stewart has died. Picard was the captain I grew up with. Calm, principled, curious, and always the kindest person in the room. Thank you for every moment, Sir Patrick. Rest easy, Captain. 🖖

Peak British NIMBYism. Montenegro cannot have an embassy in Pimlico because the daughter of an American diplomat thinks an embassy beside her place is a breach of the human rights and equality act because of her anxiety disorder and long Covid. 🥀🥀🥀
