Go Plaid!

Nothing will convince me that Mahmood isn't a Reform plant at this stage. This isn't about how she looks, race, religion or anything else. It is that she is implementing abhorrently racist and xenophobic policies while telling those who point out that they are such to fuck off. Hardly a winning plan

'Sickening': Home Secretary blasted over 'taser and deport Zack Polanski' jibe SHABANA Mahmood has been accused of showing a “sickening indifference” to human life after she joked about tasering and deporting her political…

Mahmood is vile

"Elsewhere ... Mahmood was heckled by a man who said he wanted to "personally thank you for out-reforming Reform", while two other people chanting "refugees welcome" as he was dragged out.

The Home Secretary reportedly replied: "Fuck off, mate."

BBC and ITV news are practically fawning over Reform Both the BBC and ITV have referenced Reform more than the Conservatives - tell us again corporate media aren't pushing Farage onto us

www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/... - No surprise here. The two main news broadcasters promoting Reform, way above their status. We are watching a Trump style, slow motion coup by the news media to turn Reform into a major political force.

Are you shifting greenwards, Damian?

I love my sons dearly, but I'm under awful stress, says 84-year-old carer A health trust is withdrawing a care package that helped an 84-year-old man to look after his two sons.

What sort of society is it where we take away the only respite from an 84yr old caring for his two disabled sons...

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Carp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

Alex Carp, Peter Thiel and Palantir represent a profound danger to humanity.

Parkgate Then and Now — The Parkgate Society Parkgate today - now and then

Lovely. Have you ever been to Parkgate on the Wirral? A former busy port and resort, now surrounded by grassy salt marsh. I used to live further up the Wirral in Heswall, where we were still in the mudflat stage. But that was 55 years ago, must have changed.

ICYMI, my post on how the silting up of a sea channel destroyed two cities.

Climate change (more heat & more wet) and heavier vehicles causing roads to flex and crack are increasing the potholes in our roads.

Council budgets have been heavily cut for more than a decade making it harder to keep up…the daily outward symbol of decline

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson

Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting

Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

I just think if the government was to become this unpopular this quickly, they might as well have done it by increasing taxes on median+ earners.

The Cost of Loving I love you more than life itself but I swear I’ll love you better if you let me turn the heating off and you wear another sweater. I cannot get enough of you – I’m completely in your thrall. I love to watch you bending over to unplug the telly at the wall. Yes, you’re the only one for me, my sweet and fragrant flower – now you’ve ditched your daily bath for a cost-efficient shower. Make no mistake, I love you loads, you send my head into a spin. Our cycle’s set to eco-wash: let’s cram as much as we can in. My cup of love’s full to the brim, it overflows, my petal. So make yourself a brew with me, but don’t overfill the kettle.

Today’s poem is called ‘The Cost of Loving’.

Public toilets are vital for human dignity. And clean streets.

One interview we did on children's clinical trial experiences included a story of a child being told they needed to take a blood sample of 'about a teaspoon'. Poor child thought someone was going to dig into her arm with a spoon.

Screenshot of a tweet: God Save Great Britain & @GSGB01 WOW: The NHS has ordered staff not to use the phrase 'It's raining cats & dogs' in fear of upsetting people from other cultures and religion. Britain has gone absolutely

Screenshot of a tweet: @Jenny_1884 The NHS has ordered staff not to use the term "It's raining cats & dogs" as it may offend foreigners. Tough If you don't like it jog on is what I think The NHS needs to get back to concentrating on making people better & not being more concerned about offending

For the love of God, could the "common sense" brigade PLEASE develop some actual COMMON SENSE?!

No, the NHS has not ordered staff not to use the term "it's raining cats and dogs" for fear of either upsetting or offending anyone...

Please engage your brains for a minute🙏

Here comes another counter demo. It never stops.

It should be noted that June, who is a Reform activist, got her money. It's other people in the street who have been excluded, despite being told the whole street would be covered.

Oh don't worry, June has got her money. She's a Reform activist. It's a few other houses in the street that have been excluded.

Absolutely hilarious.

They don’t intend to keep ANY of their stated promises.

They are keeping their real agenda secret.

1. Destroy the NHS
2. Destroy the BBC.
3. Enrich themselves.
Etc

This is what we need to show anyone who supports Farage and his aim to abandon our tax-funded NHS

We should be learning from other countries...

'He nods absently' 🤣

Oh, it was still on yesterday but that must have been the final day

We only had time for Wautier, sadly. Must try to get back!

Excellent exhibition of works by Michaelina Wautier. I especially loved her annunciation, in which Mary appears to receive Gabriel's announcement with a certain sceptical consideration.

The message that Reform aim to dismantle our tax-funded NHS really needs to get out there. The NHS really matters to people, and they don't realise the implications of Farage's insurance plans.
