Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Starmer accuses Robbins of obstructing truth about Mandelson vetting PM admits he made mistake in choice of ambassador as he makes high-stakes statement to parliament over scandal

Of course, #Starmer has a nasty reputation for blaming others; The #Mandelson vetting scandal and his untruthful excuses are grounds for resignation that @labouruk.bsky.social and the people of the UK should insist on.

Enough is enough.

Starmer must go.

100 years of pomp. £28bn tax-free. Food banks tripled. The crown stayed gold while the country went hungry. Remember the cost, not just the crown. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Great quote

Woman who won legal case over greenhouse emissions awarded top environmental prize Sarah Finch is among six recipients of the Goldman Environmental prize, awarded to honour grassroots activists around the world

Six women from around the world awarded prestigious environmental prize.

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Lee Anderson removed from Commons after accusing Starmer of lying The Reform MP refused to withdraw his comments after accusing the prime minister of lying over the Peter Mandelson vetting scandal.

30p Lee. Paragon of virtue. Accused of lying?

Spot on

I find it insane that calling people liars is banned in Parliament.

It's like banning the word 'book' in a library.

Happy #CatBoxSunday, people!! 😸❤️

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

LOL.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Voters have just today left to register to vote for the local elections taking place across England on 7 May. Anyone who wants to take part must register before 11.59pm tonight.

Registering takes minutes at gov.uk/register-to-vote. Just need name, address & National Insurance number. Pass it on.

Fox News is calling this the most decisive and important war America has ever fought

They are complete morons

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse.

So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries.

It’s your turn.

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

This makes the scale of Rayner's alleged error - for which Reform hauled her over the coals - look like monopoly money

More than 600 migrants cross English Channel in single day On Saturday, 602 people arrived on nine boats, marking the second busiest day so far this year.

600 migrants crossed Channel in a single day BBC screams

Yet not a word on the £600,000 Reforms Richard Tice avoided paying or nearly £100,000 he underpaid from a company that donates money to Reform

Which is corrupt as hell and as an MP far more newsworthy than migrants but its Reform 🤷🏼‍♂️😡

How they treat fraud.

$3,000,000,000 - 40 months
$100 - 180 months

Crime is only crime for the poor, can't be sending the rich to jail.

Or they might end up there themselves

Good job Richard Tice isn’t called Angela Raynor!

UK Government and energy interests are traitors in the climate war.

Nuclear fantasies of a distant future where the consumer is stitched up in energy interest super profits.

Meantime windfarms are being paid to be still due to lack of grid connectivity. And sneak oil and gas extraction is ok'd.

If this ever happened, Patrick Hodge, Keir Starmer, Wes Streeting, Bridget Phillipson and Kezia Dugdale would quickly feel very silly. Oh how funny it would be, when we learned what equality legislation passed by an EU member state was required to mean. Oh how we’d all laugh.

Definitely some interesting re-writing going on, by people who applauded the appointment very much (Farage, Badenoch, both openly praised it) who now say "everyone" has "always" known that it was a bad idea...
