How reassuring it would be right now for the UK to be a member of some kind of supranational political and economic union…

Has Trump checked the distance between Russia and Alaska? And then wondered if Canada would let US forces cross their territory?

Cutting foreign aid instead of raising taxes to pay for defence was a tough choice. But if half the households in the UK donated a pound a day to a charity working in that field, it would plug the gap #charity #overseasaid

Trump doesn’t give a shit about peace just plundering the natural resources of bombed, raped and pillaged lands. He’s a common thief stealing from corpses in the wreckage whilst siding with the perpetrator and there’s not enough words in the English language to describe how much I hate the bastard.

M I CROPHONES. Leave them alone.

Absolutely not. Affect pond skaters, reduces oxygen exchange. Dragonfly larvae and newts will eat them

No way. Reduces oxygen, affects pond skaters etc.

Not just nectar foradults but food and hiding places for larvae too. Long grass really good for this. No point having swanky restaurants for date night but no bedrooms or nursery

Bring all the tea and scones in the land! It’s the National Trust’s 130th birthday. As Dame Judi says here, goodness knows what Britain would be like without it.

@onlyconnect.bsky.social That was a manure fork tonight. Pitchforks have 2 tines

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says public want to leave the ECHR - let’s put the record straight YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

Since joining @bsky.app sadly I've been plagued with impersonators trying to scam and fraud my followers . . . the latest iteration is below . While they say they are a 'fanpage' , I can assure you that is not the case !

Please report them – thanks !

- how to close loophole without jeopardising ordinary family farms
- farming should provide a decent income
- how to create a food system that rewards sustainable farming

I set out my views in detail for @EDP24👇

Wow. According to this image it looks like nurses - whose real-terms pay has declined by at least 20% since 2010 are responsible for driving up UK borrowing. Thanks for clearing that up BBCNews

RFK Jr., anti-vaxxers, and a measles outbreak: Mehdi’s deep dive YouTube video by MSNBC

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Bluesky appears to be doing some great gatekeeper work…

…keeping out the troll kings.

You have our gratitude. 🩵

A good summary to send to your gaslit friends.
