@jemmaforte.bsky.social I feel really guilty about my flippant comment yesterday, we all feel helpless too. Take care of yourselves 🤎

@jemmaforte.bsky.social You've run out of medication again haven't you Jemma? 😆 😍

@thetrawl.bsky.social Re Underrated and offence warning, Marina if you hit the pause button you would still hear the offensive tweet when you press play. Maybe you need advice from your tech expert lady? 😁 👩‍❤️‍👩

@lewisgoodall.com An excellent impression of Harold Wilson 😀

Re Cognitive decline episode I would add to the Trump thank you list - thank you for showing the world the stupidity and fragility of dependence on fossil fuel 😘

You speak for so many of us 😶 👩‍❤️‍👩

Just listened to Stop the World, thank you so much for speaking out, many of us feel just as you do & are powerless. Do not apologise, we love you ladies😍

Sadiq Khan just refused to commit to no more new build leasehold buildings in London.

Literally moments after banging on about how bad leasehold is and that it's a feudal system.

The Labour hypocrisy knows no ends. What do they stand for other than to protect wealth & power?

And there you have it, folks. People dying daily, and he does not care. A rare moment of honesty.

@thenewsagents.co.uk Oh FFS! Why is it necessary for the stupid music to dominate? I completely missed the point of the intro because of that. 😡

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it! -Yuri Gagarin, first human in space (9 Mar 1934-1968)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience. -W.E.B. Du Bois, educator (1868-1963)

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

The world's political cartoonists cannot ignore Andrew's arrest, so here's a 🧵 of their takes, all brilliant & creative.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment. -Ansel Adams, photographer (20 Feb 1902-1984)

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.

Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.

Tell the government to end the contract!

@thetrawl.bsky.social I wish I could send this to the lady journalist (Trump)😁https://www.facebook.com/share/1Qiy6D9LMi/

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
If we would only give, just once,the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation,we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.Dorothy Canfield Fisher

@randomirish tweeted on X: Take Irelands name out of your mouth when you want to rationalize white supremacy. The Irish didn't come to America to share their culture. They came fleeing destitution and starvation in their homeland, courtesy of the kind of imperial power you now fetishize. We don't forget. [He's reacting to this tweet by Elon Musk:] For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone"! American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here. Feb 16, 2026.

Trust an Irishman to tell it like it is.
