  1. #47 & #cronies are doing their best to remove scientific monitoring systems that are critical to understanding what's happening as the #ClimateCrisis evolves.

    While ostriches don't hide their heads in the sand to avoid danger, these #kleptocrats seem to think that if we don't know what's happening, we don't have to be concerned.

  5. #Starmer's ''reforms' have taken the UK's #HouseOfLords from 85% appointed cronies to 96% appointed #cronies. He ejected the 92 #HereditaryPeers, but kept the 26 bishops and about 700 cronies.

    It's over a century since the Parliament Act 1911 promised the UK an elected upper house, but not "immediately". The number of elected members remains 0%. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

    96% appointed cronies. And they call it "democracy".

  7. #Starmer has just made the #HouseOfLords even worse.

    In 1958, the Lords was a set of #HereditaryPeers & bishops. On Tuesday, the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill passed, making the Lords a bunch only of #LifePeers & bishops. 68 years from a club of #inbreds to a club of #cronies & donors.

    The #ParliamentAct1911 promised an elected upper house, but it never arrived. 115 years later, the so-called "#LabourParty" leaves bishops as the only independent Lords. This is not #democracy.

    Let me just copy-pasta this over here:

    "“We’re not going to get the same quality or breadth of information we would have by being in the #WHO, or have anywhere the influence we had.”"

    But the $2B to be spent by the US now will all be funneled through #Trump #Cronies and #Bedfellows

    As intended

  13. #News #Americans if you do not wish to be part of a #PedoUSA you need to fight back and hard before #Pedo47 and his #Cronies take full control of the #Army, the #Media and your souls!
    As for the rest of the #World, we have to show solidarity with those who already fight !

  15. Trump, the god of the #Evangelicals, said about Epstein's island:
    “I never had the privilege of going to his island.”
    Trump thinks going to an island where #Epstein and guests "molested hundreds of girls" would be a "privilege":

  17. Important and somewhat unsettling thread about #DOGE & #Data - Certainly does not build trust in the integrity of the #GOP administration of #47 and #cronies

  19. Also, follow @ZLabe if you care about the #climate.

    Ignoring #globalwarming is what the #oilindustry and their #lobbyist #cronies have been doing for decades as well - since the #70s in fact.

    Shout outs to #groharlembrundtland, the #algore of #Norway - despite being a #neoliberal. At least they brought some truth to the table.

    "But how did she do that?"

    The #BrundtlandReport was the foundational report of the #Kyoto agreement.

  21. Many people don't ask this question but they should.

    Why do (many) rich people in #politics talk (write, etc) about reducing social security but don't ever mention increasing #taxes on the rich? (Or they say that wouldn't work [apologists])*

    *It's the misleading language #cronies use to deflect attention away from increasing taxes on the rich

    Taking political speakers (inc. adverts, etc) on 'face value' (assuming honesty) is why the public are so often duped (by the charlatans)

  23. Saw similar stories in the AM general news roundup (protip: setup RSS and news search bots with the `tariff` keyword to watch this debacle unfold).

    I'm not at all shocked business managers are obeying in advance. #cronies

  25. “Blair … surrounded himself with cronies who failed to steer him clear of his grovelling to America, a failure that led him down the road to Afghanistan, Iraq and political disaster.”

    “[Starmer] must know that half his $22bn Treasury black hole could be filled by ending just two eminently cancellable Tory white elephants, Hinkley Point and HS2.”

  26. Still in a good mood because Bannon is in jail.

    Every time I turn on TV or radio news, they are talking about how old the President is. Give me a break!

    Bannon is going to jail today.

    Hope we hear nada from him for a good 4 months.

  29. #MichelleMone & husband Douglas Barrowman have now been dragged kicking & screaming to admit their involvement with PPE Medpro. These Tory #cronies have ripped off the British people 4 £millions. This money MUST be repaid, plus charges. shorturl.at/dkK48 #RejoinEU

  31. @justintrudeau @ranjpillai1 Good. Can you know get our #DerelictFordGovernment to do the job it was elected to do? Ontario residents are suffering cruel and unnecessary hardships so that the most corrupt government in the history of Canada can line its pockets and those of its #cronies, while pillaging and looting Ontario’s resources

  33. @gemelliz The #CorruptFordGovernment is pursuing its #NakedAbuseOfPower and its #CriminalDerelictionOfDuty unimpeded by duty or morals. It is looting the province and pocketing the profits for itself & its #Cronies while residents suffer cruel hardships & see their healthcare, education, social programs underfunded, decimated, mocked by the ex-drug dealing high school dropout and his #FordGovernmentRacketeers. And #CdnMedia turns a blind eye on the most corrupt govt in the history of Canada.

  35. As the Govt seemingly prepares 2 reward the rich & penalise the poor remember the £34Billion stealth subsidy expected 2 be given 2 major banks between 2024 & 2028. Banking sector is set to receive over £211bn in interest payments between December 2021 and July 2028, this is far more than needed & far more than other comparable nations pay. One would think these banks were Tory #cronies?? This cash pile could be used to invest in our #NHS, social services etc. tinyurl.com/5xp2um5c #RejoinEU

  37. I think the #government's got a bl00dy cheek to contemplate reducing next year's #StatePension increase from 8.5% to 7.8% (by not including bonuses paid to public sector workers) to save a couple of billion pounds, when they've decided to write off TENS OF BILLIONS in fraudulent Covid claims and payments made to their #fatcat #cronies for unusable PPE and other stuff. So typical of these corrupt #ToryCrooks 😡 They need locking up!
