- Reposted by Boris LongBy the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government. Thanks Keir.
- Listening to the Starmer speech. Are we not 'an island of strangers' this week?

- Reposted by Boris LongWalmart was up .2% Wednesday, a day after its market value topped $1 trillion for the first time. Reports suggest low wages for workers at huge retailers like Walmart (the largest private employer in the US) result in ~ $6.2 billion in public assistance costs for taxpayers annually Pay up, bitches.

- Reposted by Boris LongIn 2018 Steve Bannon bragged to Jeffrey Epstein about his influence over European politicians including Nigel Farage and that he could “shut down any crypto legislation or anything else we want”. What is Reform’s first and only piece of draft legislation? A pro-crypto Bill.
- Reposted by Boris LongHeads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3
- Reposted by Boris LongWow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.

- Reposted by Boris LongZack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"
- Reposted by Boris LongThis email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great (They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

- Dear Jimmy from the block @mrjamesob.bsky.social I thought an anecdotal might help you in your struggle to understand corruption. I had a very good friend who was a heroin addict. He was an honest hard working beautiful soul.However...when 'chasing the dragon' he wanted me to participate.

- Reposted by Boris LongThe Mandelson scandal has shone a light on systemic issues in the British State. This is about wealth, power, and undue access - not just a few bad apples.
- Reposted by Boris LongWorkers continue to bear the brunt of Trump’s disastrous economic agenda. A new ADP report shows that payrolls fell in January for companies with 20-49 employees, while manufacturers lost 8,000 jobs. Manufacturers have shed workers every single month since Trump announced “Liberation Day” tariffs.
- Reposted by Boris LongRussia finally got a winter cold enough, and the US reducing support for air defense enough, that mass attacks on Ukraine’s power grid have created widespread civilian suffering. But with Trump, Ukraine can’t get credible guarantees Russia won’t pause then attack again, so they can’t deal either.

- Reposted by Boris LongIf Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir bylinetimes.com/2025/04/25/p...

- Reposted by Boris LongPleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

- Reposted by Boris LongCan anyone *imagine* what would have happened if it had become public, at the height of the financial crisis, that Mandelson was leaking to Wall Street, and advising bankers to threaten his own Government? To stop a tax on bankers' bonuses! Would the Government have fallen?

- Reposted by Boris LongPeter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer And Epstein enabled that payday Here’s the evidence. 🧵

- Reposted by Boris Long👎 Wildly disappointing response from #Labour Kerry McCarthy 👏Extremely strong &balanced thread from @thierryaaron.bsky.social 👌 Greens did well in Bristol East in 2024. Bring on the 2029 election! Time to see a Climate aware MP here as well as Bristol Central Carla ✅ @zackpolanski.bsky.social
- A friend pointed me to a post on social media of a letter by Kerry McCarthy MP (Labour, Bristol East) about a request for a televised emergency briefing on the #ClimateEmergency I was stunned by how casually the idea & its urgency were dismissed. Let’s unpack why this response is so wrong-headed 🧵
