Does anybody know where a good RAT emoji can be found?:
Gary Lineker is in hot water after reposting a video critical of Zionism that included a rat emoji. He deleted it immediately—but the backlash’s been brutal. Is this about antisemitism, or silencing critics of Israel?
As the school day hits its midpoint, ask yourself — what kind of future are we giving our kids? In postwar Britain, we built education systems from rubble. Today, we’re cutting budgets and burning out teachers.
Read & reflect:
It’s lunchtime — a moment to pause. In 1945, Britain created a welfare system to care for us “from cradle to grave.”
Now, millions face food banks and hostile bureaucracy. What went wrong? Part 5 of our VE Day series looks at the collapse of social security.

#PoliticsLive #BBC2 Mark Carney should’ve told Trump I don’t collaborate with fascist cults. Following that, it is my belief that the Canadian people are with me and not a criminal insurrectionist. The point being, if none stand up to the criminal clown he will continue to be financed by evil oligarchs giving Earth more war, terror, disease, climate catastrophe, inequality and injustice. Every Nation is being threatened by dictators and a few wannabe Emperors. The sooner the people take them back, the greater the chance they have of having a future to benefit their wellbeing. #HaveAPlan #MarkCarney #TrumpTyranny #TrumpEcocide #TyrannyIsDeath #TrumpWars #TyrannyIsEcocide
Good morning, fellow socialists.

#politicslive The Tory spokesperson suggests the #Brexit disaster has reduced #Trump tariffs on UK. What a dreamworld these brexiteers are in. We have fought wars side by side with the US! Trump has no moral compass, strength he understands, and inside the #EU we are massively stronger. #TrumpOut #StandwithUkraine #RejoinEU
Quite a good #PoliticsLive today. Outbreaks of agreement, no unnecessary shouting. Nice!
Could this be a turning point, where we ditch the lies and culture wars, and get political discussion back to facts and logic? Hope so.
Happy #FollowBackFriday everyone. The UK should look to extradite the Tates as soon as possible to face charges for alleged offences committed here. Will follow back like-minded people. #bbcqt #newsnight #r4today #bbcbreakfast #politicsLive #bbcpm #bbcaq #Trump #Starmer #ToriesGone238 #GMB
Lord Frost: "You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. You have an economic policy that lifts everybody." Natalie Fleet MP: "That didn't work over 14 years. That's what we've seen: everybody get poorer." Lord Frost: "We didn't do it as well as we should have." ~AA #PoliticsLive
I don't know who the conservative person is on politics live, but my god she is absolutely grating.
Won't stop talking to basically defend Gregg Wallace, even when BBC needs to cut to parliament questions she kept going on.
"George Monbiot on #PoliticsLive absolutly tearing Suella Bravermans claim the world is safer under Trump
"To me Braverman is a fake patriot, who the moment a demagogue arrives prostrates herself"" posted by Clifford.
Monbiot went on to say that as Trump wants to allow Russia to just have Ukraine and that he's talked blithely about using nuclear weapons, the world is most definately NOT a safer place with him at the top.
I see Politics Live has put on a deranged Israel defender, because of course they would.
I realise that #BBC #PoliticsLive isn't *really* meant for me and the rest of us plebs, and only acts as a sham window for the ruling class, but when even the 'lefty' panelists force themselves into the narrow status quo framework, I wonder if all of my positions are just false memories incomprehensible to anyone else in existence.
Also, I'm shocked that Alex Phillips given her history (which we're all seemingly meant to forget about existing) is in favour of digital ID cards.
Yet ANOTHER farcical and ludicrous #ClimateChange 'debate' on #PoliticsLive today.
'Not taking people along with you' or 'we're only 1%' won't matter, when the world is doing nothing on it, because this system benefits those - like politicians - who run it continuing with it.
And the five ghouls in the studio - including Cheltenham's own MP of course - are just sat there knowing nothing is being done, and just talking out time as the world burns.

I see that despite this supposed 'new kind of politics' #PoliticsLive still has all the same mind-numbing (repeated) topics, mind-numbing guests, and mind-numbing ideas, as all the 'politicians' fight each other within the carcass of the status quo.
Can't the #BBC just put all of it out of its misery?
A very funny and upside down #PoliticsLive today when you have a Conservative MLA (rightly) chastising Labour as no longer being for socialism; saying that the Greens are now the main beacon of it (maybe); and that shock-horror lefties should even be allowed to have a political place to begin with.
A rare W episode.
It's pretty sad though he is now in the Tory Party when his father (iirc) was an early Labour Party member, but that's what happens when the political class has been controlled...
Only caught the final part of today's #PoliticsLive and it was as preposterous and mindnumbing as always.
Also, how can they get away with putting two people directly connected with the #Tories on a panel of four - not just usually, but especially during an election campaign?
I apologise, but I don't know the woman's name who was on #PoliticsLive today, but it's all very easy to say 'it's all the Left's fault' for the rise of the hard Right - for 'not offering anything other than green policy that lowers living standards, and (presumably LGBTQ+) ideology' - when the supposed 'left' politicians are only permitted to make that position if they continue with neoliberal capitalist economics.
So of course they too will keep making you pay to put right what the rich did.
