Greta Thunberg continues her journey to try break Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza from the sea which they have maintained for 18 years The War Criminals pledged to arrest the 'terrorist' and detain her indefinately in one of their torture camps The world stands with Greta
I'm glad that @zackpolanski.bsky.social has become leader of the Green Party. I believe his style and emphasis meet the challenge of the moment.
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.
Feels like the flag debate has been kicking around my whole life and it still boils down to: Civic institutions should fly the flag routinely. Sporting occasions and national events, sure get it out. Year round flag on your house, bit weird, trashy. Doing it to "intimidate the forrins", obvs bad
Thought this was worth posting today. Fair play to you @zackpolanski.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=0MDz...
Thank you.
So he put the drugs in his granddaughter's dessert? Has he been arrested? Is his granddaughter okay?
What does that mean? Granddaughter's dairy queen?
I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.
Did you notice the stochastic terrorism in Farage's speech? A reporter asked a question, and his answer included "I want our proposals to be accepted in order to prevent any more civil disorder" In other words "if the government dont do as they are told, my supporters will continue to riot"
Almost four years out from an election & paying *the actual fucking Taliban* to torture & murder people who risked their lives to escape them is getting the full ‘both sides’ treatment in Brexit Britain.
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
I'm ded 💀 😂 😂 😂
I have made a written complaint to the BBC on this subject. I hope that many more right minded people will do likewise.
I posted this 20 months ago in an unmentionable place. It has become no less true.
This is ridiculous. Water chiefs’ pay rises to average of £1.1m despite ban on bonuses and outrage over pollution www.theguardian.com/business/202...
Bernard Jenkin, "Achieving net zero will add 21% of GDP as a cost" Ed Milliband, "The bit in the report you didn't mention, is if we end up in 3 degree world, we add 56% of GDP.. That is the cost of inaction"
The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.
It’s like Trump is trying to be as controversial and demonic as he possibly can. His legacy, coz unfortunately he’ll have one, will be the Presidential Robber Baron who took from the poor and desperate in society to give to billionaires and entrepreneurial capitalist sharks.
Chanting at music festivals is not the actual problem. Israel's genocide is. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Hugely disappointing. Whilst I’ve not been a member of the Labour Party for a few years now, or any party for that matter, I did think Starmer’s Labour would prove to be better than the Tories. All in all, they probably are… but only by a smidgeon.
🤷♂️
The effort that a lot of good people put in last year to get rid of the Tories has been rewarded with a massive kick in the teeth. A massive majority and four years left of his term, and he's running scared of Farage instead of trying to make peoples lives better. Everything has been negative so far
For those Americans who follow me… if you don’t know @peterstefanovic.bsky.social then take my advice and give him a follow. He’s smart, has a conscience, knows right from wrong, good from bad, can spot the good guys from the bad guys… and has a heart as big as a house. You can thank me later. 😉
Ok so I’m really late seeng this but I’ve just embarrassed myself on a crowded train with my laughing 😂😂😳
….and still nothing about the guy who allegedly shot Trump
Reform UK has been accused of hypocrisy after it emerged the party is advertising several jobs offering home working despite promising a clampdown on the policy. FFS when will Reform voters wake up and realise they’re being taken for a ride? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
BREAKING: “It’s a tremendous deal for the UK” Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds talks through the UK-India trade deal
FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

This is Attorney Lindsey Halligan. She’s tasked herself with deciding what black history needs to be removed from the Smithsonian. Let’s shine a big light on Lindsey so the entire country knows who’s behind this effort which is being quietly reported on.
Thx to @corcatt.bsky.social for this gem! 👏🏽🎯🤣
Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
This is so amazing!🤣
This is ridiculous. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen: a nation destroying itself to prevent the sale of cheap products. We can't keep getting stupider at this pace, as a species. Within another generation or two we won't be able to speak whole sentences.

Yesterday Keir Starmer thanked Donald Trump for "changing the conversation" on Ukraine. Today's conversation:
"Whether in the right or not"? What the actual fuck?! Trump is in the wrong. We're British, we fight fascists, we don't wring our hands and wonder if they're right or wrong. Come on, Lewis. You're so much better than this.
I miss Janey Godley. Just saying. 🙁
👀
Just catching up with the news on Trump and Zelenskyy. Jesus Christ… such disrespect from the orange felon to a brave, courageous & dignified leader! Trump isn’t fit to even lick his boots. This makes Starmer’s fits & giggles show yesterday even more embarrassing. Where the hell do we stand now!

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

“Terrified of their own people” Remind me which leader asked about shooting his own people?
I don't think I've ever seen a book I want to read less than this.
Keir Starmer's most consistent and welcome message is that people should be treated with dignity. How does stripping refugees of the right to citizenship square with that?
A blatant breach of the Refugee Convention, let's hope that some Labour MPs are prepared to fight this
A breach of international law, a breach of the refugee convention & latest evidence Keir Starmer’s government has adopted a hardline “hostile environment” stance on asylum to fight off a poll surge by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Labour need to be better than this www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
“This is bad, full stop. It creates a class of person who are forever excluded from civic life no matter how long they live here. It’s also a clear breach of the refugee convention.” Damn straigt, @colinyeo.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism. Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.
Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.
From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave
I registered quite a few years ago now and it was incredibly straightforward to do. Please do consider it.

Ooh I know this one, is it because immigration targets are a futile attempt to put a lid on the infinite variety of human existence with bureaucracy and racism?
“while respecting the decision of the British people who voted to leave in 2016” Even now the decision has been proved to be ruinously idiotic? Even when reversing that decision would bring greater prosperity for ALL of us? Oh well. Baby steps back to sanity… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Some kind of karma that that epic chump and toadying, Trump-supporting opportunist, Frost, is doomed forever to polish his Brexit turd and blame others for why it stinks. Today he’s shouting at the Bank of England. A life sentence of being angry with reality for his own dismal negotiation.
God I feel for the people of America. Particularly those who didn’t vote for him. We’ve had years of viciously useless Tory govts breaking things that matter to us and leaving the country in a sorry mess. But Trump and his team are frenziedly deranged. God knows how America survives this.
