  1. The PM gestures while his government manages money movers.

    In top article: Burnham: "We have to face up to the changing climate. I think we need a different debate about that. There’s no point denying where we are. We need to face up to it. We need more clean energy. We need to see that transition accelerate."

    In bottom article: "Andy Burnham moves to cut new EV sales targets"
    "Possible cut from 80% down to as little as 50% could add millions of tonnes of CO2 to emissions and comes amid UK heatwaves"

  2. Children are happier in #NL than in the writer's home country (the USA) because only 3.1 percent of the Dutch population live in poverty as opposed to 20 percent of the British population.

    The Guardian continues publishing irresponsible lifestyle crap: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2

  3. You see this is the problem we have with media.

    Someone posts how shitty the #BBC is and someone else immediately comments, listing a few BBC names, saying they still very must trust those 'journalists'.

    Yet one of the names mentioned was Jeremy Bowen! This Jeremy Bowen: jonathancook.substack.com/p/je

    and jonathancook.substack.com/p/th

    This is the problem we have. Folk call out the bias and terrible reporting of the supposed impartial or left-ish news outlets like #TheGuardian and the BBC, and people reply with: 'Yeah, but I still read and watch their news because I still kinda trust it, despite decades of examples for why I shouldn't! Bleuh! Bleuh! Bleuh! Fingers in my ears I'm not listening!'

  4. Every now and then I read someone telling of their surprise at how the #BBC or the #Guardian is joining in with the right wing narratives, and I'm like, have you not paid attention for the past 20 years?

    I mean, the BBC has been pro-establishment from the beginning. It is clear from the sorts of things it covers. This so called impartial service never has an anti-monarchy voice during some royal event, and it regularly portrays the West and NATO as the good guys.

    It is a problem that people are still looking at their content for news, and are still surprised by their right-leaning content.

  5. You know #DumpTheGuardian ?

    What do we do about the Observer now it's owned by Tortoise media?

  6. @ianb

    The Guardian have been sellouts and traitors for a long, long time. I remember the lies they wrote in the '80s about socialists I knew personally.

    And more recently:

    theguardian.fivefilters.org

    They are the epitome of centrism masquerading as leftism.

  7. #DumpTheGuardian | Coca-Cola plastic waste in oceans expected to reach 602m kilograms a year by 2030

    "Coca-Cola ranks as the world’s top branded plastic polluter, followed by PepsiCo, Nestlé, Danone and Altria, according to a 2024 study published in Science Advances."

  8. Today is a good today to remind you that #TheGuardian is liberal bullshit and will always, ALWAYS sabotage socialism:

  9. #JonathanCook

    "How strange that the deputy speaker of the Israeli parliament calls for the genocidal extermination of all Palestinian men in Gaza, and I can find no mention of it on the BBC or Guardian."

  10. #DeclassifiedUK | BBC and Guardian editors held private meetings with Israeli General

    "Obviously off the record briefings have a place in journalism. However, meeting secretly with a senior IDF representative in the middle of a genocidal campaign as part of an organised propaganda offensive raises serious questions about integrity and transparency."

  11. "After six year-old Hind Rajab was killed by the Israeli army, Britain’s national media failed to unequivocally pinpoint Israel as responsible, refused to follow up the story and cover important new information, and then moved on."

  12. @CableSt @Christo @Gillinger

    I invite you to check this media outlet:

    I was shocked to stumble upon an article with a caption of "People ride on a tractor picking up salvaged items from a damaged building in Khan Younis".

    I am not used to have residents of the Gaza Strip designated as "people"!

    Personally i specifically avoid reading muddling media. #DumpTheGuardian

    Yet, Thanks to your mention i found a joyful assessment:

    "Lucas’s captivating book examines the more uplifting aspects of the nation’s past such as English people's progressive spirit, radical inclusivity and ancient commitment to nature to envisage where we might go from here."

    @mxtthxw I just read a glowing article by Polly Toynbee about Marget Hodge and I vow to unfollow anyone who shares Guardian articles.

    (unless they use #DumpTheGuardian)

  15. "And who will judge you, in whose name these governments fail to act?"

    Ugh! Fuck off #TheGuardian!

    Which newspaper was it that helped destroy (the anti-war) #Corbyn to enable the #Tory landslide?

    I know it might not have been Simon Tisdall's personal responsibility, but this shitty newspaper can fuck off to fuckery!

  16. Far too many posts on here with links to The Guardian, that I'm never going to read. Surely, there must be a reputable left-wing news source somewhere?
    (The answer is, probably, "No").

    #DumpTheGuardian

  17. @adrianfry Yes, FPTP is crappy. But people *could* (in super-reality theory) just all vote for a new contender or party, but things just don't happen that way.

    Politics just creeps in a general direction because - I assume - many people just accept the situation as normal so are happy to continue voting for it. It's also normalised by media.

    Also please #DumpTheGuardian

    dumptheguardian.com/commentisf

    I'll have a read of the article.

  18. @equusasinus #DumpTheGuardian

    dumptheguardian.com

    The paper was instrumental in destroying Corbyn, one of the worst. So it's not surprising they would get behind a personalityless soft Tory like Starmer.

  19. I kinda feel like #TheGuardian has become bigger in the #US news scene as the liberal newspaper for liberal liberalism.

    Perhaps it's just #corporate desire for growth, or perhaps it's because that newspaper was instrumental in destroying #Corbynism and so helped to deliver this magnificent calamity of a #Tory government, that has damaged the #newspaper's reputation in the #UK ... idk

  20. @kitsune Yes, the 'failure' in this case is the failure to be the next Twitter, the next go-to social media where all the celebrities and politicians are and where all the journalist look for the latest (non) stories.

    If your criteria for successful social media is '*the* most popular site *everyone* uses' then you're idea of success is severely limited.

    I'm happy to continue here on the failure that is the Fediverse ...

  21. Man part of #Patriarchy is concerned that the word 'Father' is too patriarchal ...

  22. @strypey Sounds like you know a bit about this and could write a little blog post on the matter ... ?

  23. Can we think of a new name for a type of person? Add your suggestions below.

    What name could we call people who are particularly ill informed about media and politics and who blindly, uncritically share links to the #Guardian, helping to disseminate their unique brand of tepid, stagnating centrism that serves only to keep politics moving rightwards?
