When I voted Labour, I didn’t really want them to follow Suella Braverman’s policies.

The 25th amendment allows a president to be removed if they are mentally unfit. It’s time to use that amendment.
“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges. . . One goes to the unprotected — those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most! — and listens to their testimony.” — James Baldwin

‘If we lose contact with our comrades for even just 20 minutes, we shut down Europe’ Amazing show of solidarity from the Genoa dockworkers trade unionists who have vowed to shut down shipping in Europe if Israel tries to stop the Global Sumud Flotilla from reaching Gaza
I’ve voted Gary.

A tad harsh, but fair.
Labour have fucking lost it. What an alien nonsense govt this country has! Fuck you Labour. Go and suck on Farages crusty tit!
Did you do all the preparatory stuff? Like getting pregnant a while ago?
Can the last person left in the Enoch Powell Party please turn off the lights on your way out. Thanks! @zoejardiniere.bsky.social
“They simply said ‘it’s a s*** show'” Nick Watt describes the strong language used by a senior Labour figure when asked how Sir Keir Starmer’s reset has gone down with some Labour MPs and some personnel within Government. #Newsnight
This is the Internet as we the second quarter of the 21st century. EVERYTHING is fucking fake.
I regret to tell you this, but I think the video of someone hurling things out of a second-story window at the White House is a fake
Just call it Friday and start getting ready for a long weekend.
That is a very small pony!
The Velvet Undergrowth!
Look, I just do Oasis cover band album art. If you want the Velvet Underground you're just going to have to speak to their manager.
Both Starmer and Cooper posed as supporters of asylum and human rights in opposition. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
It is getting difficult to tell the dead cats from the things that need us to be distracted.
The President is missing… Or is it just another distraction?
Release the Epsom files!
FFS why?
Cooper now suggests that asylum seekers could be moved into warehouses. Is that for easy storage? Perhaps they could be self-assembly asylum-seekers to save space? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
Congratulations to the newly elected Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @mothinali.bsky.social
I can't imagine why we are hated soo much Or yeah, our fake "freedoms", our fake "democracy" and fake "civilised" way of life
I'm here for it- lots of us are. Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
WTF is wrong with treating people decently and letting them work to contribute to our society? How fucking difficult is it?
Labour are just as Tory as Reform… couldn’t get a fag paper between the lot!!
I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting. To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage. To show Britain is better than this. Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.
I don’t care if BlueSky is growing or dying, it’s nice here and I’ll never go back to Twitter - or bother with something like Threads - and honestly I’m pretty disappointed in all the folks I know who still use Twitter because they care more about reach than integrity.
God! It’s worse than I remember!
Release the Trumpstein PedoFILES NOW!
Anyone noticed how sick the depraved US president is looking since he met with Putin?
Tens of thousands of reservists started to report for duty on Tuesday ahead of a new Israeli offensive in Gaza City, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to speed up, despite warnings from senior ranks. They're going to go in and start killing, aren't they! The murderous b*stards!🤬🤬🤬
I never attempted to remember who sang it. In fact I have tried quite hard to erase all memory of it*. *Unsuccessfully
Congratulations to the newly elected Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @rachelmillward.bsky.social
Strong start.
Games Workshop could absolutely clean up if they started publishing 40k romance novels, I'm just saying.

WTF is with this “Labour” government?
UNCRC Article 10 (family reunification Governments must respond quickly and sympathetically if a child or their parents apply to live together in the same country. If a child’s parents live apart in different countries, the child has the right to visit and keep in contact with both of them.
My guess is already like that. One thing I don't see called out by name often enough is the effects of narcissism. Imo it's the root disease that all these assholes have in common. It's really easy to horde massive amounts of money, power, etc, if you only care about yourself.
It's a very dark shed. The window fell out and I covered it with black visqueen.
A MrsMo, a mother-in-law, and a shed. You really do have everything, don't you? I feel quite humble in your company. I have a rusted dish rack and an empty day stretching out ahead of me. I'm so jealous. Maybe you could fit a camera in the shed so we can livestream your activities.
I personally know very little about anything.
I shall carry on regardless. Mrs Mo has taken her mother shopping and I shall be hiding in the shed when she gets home.
You seem to know that you are not Rupert Holmes.
I knew it! Perhaps you were a member of The Fall instead. I believe most people who live north of Nantwich have been members at some point and no very little about Rupert Holmes.
Not only am I an imposter, I have almost no idea who Rupert Holmes is so any further song references will be lost on me.
I suspect that you are an imposter. Have you been to the coast at the cape recently?
Never had one but I think I probably do. I certainly like walking in the rain.
Do you like Pina colada?
If it's any consolation, the fully-stacked dish rack in the kitchen just fell apart and my ears are still ringing with the noise of plates smashing. I seem to have woken up feeling cold and also can't be arsed with the world. I also find there's no escape despite the fact that I am Rupert Holmes.
Who the feck is Rupert Holmes?
Good morning. I'm afraid to say I failed. I've also been told off for achieving absolutely nothing all day yesterday. It's not the best Goodstart to a Tuesday and I wish to retire from the world, but the reality is I can't afford to. There is no escape I am not Rupert Holmes.

Thanks Catriona for an update on the disparity between living in England & Scotland
I'm giving a talk in one exactly week's time. QR for Zoom info. It's 15:00 NZ time, that's like a west coast tip off for EST people.

How will you feel when you wake up one day and learn that he died overnight by choking on a hot dog? 🌭

Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
Oh he’s dead, dead 🤣.

So are we in a Weekend at Bernie's situation right now?
Vance has been mixing something into the spray paint for his pal Putin. The Tangerine Shit Gibbon has outlived his usefulness.
Heavy metal poisoning due to low quality gold spray paint on the oval office decor. Just brainstorming for the timeline writers.
On a scale of one to ten growls, how very, very annoyed?
As a heads up, I am very, very annoyed today.
This is disgusting and everyone involved should be facing trial for crimes against humanity.
Ibrahim al Khalili reports on the first day of the new school year for a very small number of children in Gaza. Most children no longer get an education because Israel has destroyed all the schools, murdered the teachers, and is starving the kids to death.
Missing the point. It was a prop for a photo op and payoff for campaign contributors. Whose land was it on? Which contractor and subcontractors were paid to build it. Which companies were paid to train & staff personnel. Which companies were picked for food supply & handling. It was a $ spigot.
God is on here somewhere maybe send him a message. Thoughts and Prayers!
All kidding aside, it is so *insane* & *shocking* & *dangerous* that Corporate Media has collectively decided to completely bury objective fact that the President is uninformed, confused, and physically & mentally deteriorating.
I’m sure Labour are doing a terrific job of attracting the extras from Deliverence to vote for them in the next general election but try not to forget about you know…Labour voters, Keir 🤨
Celebrating the US publication of VIANNE with a cup of tea and an extra biscuit...
An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.
Research shows that power makes people more sociopathic.
Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government...
Does the money turn them into complete shits or were they already like that?
