@regendans A good time for #UKGovt to stop relying on a communications platform under the control of #ElonMusk - from local consulates to central government

RE: https://mas.to/@therightarticle/116390379667611351

#Starmer and the #UKGovt actions to spend millions detaining people for many years, who are standing up to #IsraelGenocide is really abhorrent.

I want a government that is working hard and spending millions on #CostOfLivingCrisis and the #ClimateEmergency

We will remember, and we must rid ourselves of this authoritarian govt, we must learn the lessons from the U.S. to ensure 'Five Houses Epstein Friend Farage' never gets near power

I stopped using it regularly in November 2022 (after 13 years and a few months), may have made a couple of posts in 2023, but none since then. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2022/11/decline-and-fall-of-twitter.html My page is still up (hope dies last), with my mastodon address in the user name. What on earth will it take for #UKlabour #UKgovt #UKpolitics to stop using X?

On 23 Dec 2025, #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it.

In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest.

UK public opinion opposes the arrests. But Greta's fame takes the disdain global.

If Greta is convicted, the UK globally looks cruel. If she is acquitted or uncharged, it globally looks weak.

The UK govt has trapped itself, with no way out. #ukpol

Precious little coverage of #hungerstrike given D-notice from #UKGovt, but journalists can't be forbidden to quote their supporters and friends: #Palestine #journalism
"Protesters called for the immediate bail for all the imprisoned activists, along with the right to a fair trial and for the deproscription of Palestine Action"

Marvellous to see reply from #UKGovt to this denialist petition:
"There is no ‘two-sided’ debate on anthropogenic climate change. The Government’s policy to support ambitious action on climate change reflects the overwhelming scientific consensus."

Really glad to see the #ukgovt handing back the #Chagos islands after years of being instructed to do so by the UN. It's late in the day, but perhaps some of the living expelled islanders could return after >50 years of exile.

If the UK govt ran a restaurant with long lines of waiting customers they would:

1) Not add tables & staff because that would "cost too much"
2) Cut back on tables, staff & ingredients to "save money" (austerity)
3) Get a private company to run it & get all the profits.

#goldstandard #austerity #UKGovt

@cloudquinn “we can’t upset the racists and fascists by calling them names like racists and fascists - they just need to behave themselves better!”

#ukgovt can fuck right off with that. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other god-awful people have no place at the table, in discourse or as tolerated options in society.
