Talk of losing titles is offensive. Andrew stands accused of serious sexual offences, corruption and seeking to corrupt a police officer. Senior royals have been protecting and covering for him for years.

The monarchy is an absurd medieval relic – but it works People will say that the end of the monarchy is finally coming. Once again, they will be wrong

It’s actually quite comical how wrong @iandunt.bsky.social is about the monarchy. It works for the royals, it works for the government. Otherwise it’s a corrupt, secretive and undemocratic institution. And Ian thinks losing a title is a fitting punishment for rape.

Haven’t been using Bluesky much but hello all! Had a lot of fun protesting today.

I find men who call themselves alpha males objectively hilarious.

A brexit voting friend of mine told me he really regretted it the other night. It wasn't what he expected.

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless.

But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

'Refused service again with my guide dog, I'm done speaking out' Sean Dilley is inundated with abuse on social media whenever he posts about discrimination issues.

This is both sad and infuriating.

Two thirds of country back assisted dying Largest study yet reveals attitudes just days before historic vote, but justice secretary brands bill a ‘state death service’

🧵More in Common have spent the past few months polling & talking to people about assisted dying, we've shared our findings in today's Sunday Times. Speaking to people on both sides has been some of the most moving opinion work I've been involved in. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Brexit – an unwelcome truth Labour’s continued silence on Brexit might just reveal an unwelcome truth; another reason, perhaps, to use the Brexit telescope?

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t”

Dear Santa: When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom. Later, my parents divorced. Soon after, my mother died in a car accident My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house. Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died. My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day. My brother left home and won't talk to us any more. Dad, now 74, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing. Yours sincerely. Prince William

It’s all in the telling.

● Jaguar Land Rover adds £10bn annually to the UK economy

● Employs 11,000 people in the UK

● Creates thousands more jobs in supply chain reliant on it

● And Grandad Nigel wants them to go bust because he doesn't like the ads.

Why do YOU think he doesn't like them?

21% of the UK population or 14.3 million people live in relative poverty. Maybe we should talk about them for a change rather than the tax concerns of Jeremy Clarkson's wealthy children

Sad news.

Daily Mail trotting out the old "austerity wedding" thing again. That was done deliberately (of course) because rationing was on going and the Windsors didn't want to look bad.

The wedding in fact cost about £1 million in 2024 prices and was a very lavish affair.

Standoff as Canada Yukon town council refuses to swear oath to King Charles Council in Yukon territory deadlocked, citing the crown’s tarnished relations with Indigenous peoples in the region The council of a town in Canada’s Yukon territory has been locked for weeks in bureaucratic standstill after its members refused to swear…

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

The election was only the second time since 1989 that the republicans won a majority of the popular vote. The other one being 2004.

I'm sorry to post a link to the X cesspit but this is an excellent thread by @graham-smith.bsky.social about the cosplaying King, his dressing up box, mummy's promotion gifts and his pathetic dangling chest bling...

King owns dozens of rental homes that don't meet vital minimum energy standards After examining Energy Performance Certificates for scores on the West Norfolk estate, we have found more than 30 properties owned by the King fail to meet minimum requirements

"Some tenants have single glazed windows that are completely rotten. We think it is because King Charles does not like the look of double glazing, but you have to be careful what you say because they are so powerful."

Charles the dodgy landlord, Charles the environmental hypocrite. Dozens of rental homes in Sandringham below legal energy standards. Windows rotting, tenants feeling the cold, while Charles flits about by helicopter between a dozen palatial homes.
