I'm far too polite so say. So I'll just have to stick with calling #Farage a "fucking treasonous c*nt" for now and leave it at that.

Shoot first Ignore all questions later
Those who can channel our anger at 15 years of misrule, who can speak the language of outrage and hope, are the politicians of the moment. They will contribute to what could be, in 2029, the greatest electoral reset in our modern history. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
It's taken a grilling by the *US Senate* to get Farage to even *talk* to his Reform minions at Nottinghamshire Council about their repressive ban on local reporters This canting hypocrite has no respect for free speech or accountability www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-n...
Man baby cries over party he’s not invited to.
Sir, here are your #mitochondria test results that've come back. And they've already been leaked by the Russians! Covfefe?

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
I don't know how you'll do it, but you're gonna have to rebuld & find a way to stop this ever happening again. As an outsider, it seems to me there's far too much presidential power and abilty to pardon absolutely anyone of anything. And where was the NRA when they were needed to stop it! #MAGACoup

Mine's losing its leaves, which is a far more serious affair.
Can I ask what are your recommendations for the best and tastiest *heirloom* varieties to grow? I'm looking to expand what I sow next season, and want to be able to collect the seeds.
🚨Governor Pritzker has no fucks. He is not playing games with the host in D.C. Chicago is not a piece on a board, it is a city - just like LA and DC. Rolling over is not an option.
No worries. Thanks for responding. But, yes, it is weird. Sounds like none of know the full story.
It’s set to be the longest single-span bridge in the world at 3.7 km, with two towers nearly as tall as the Empire State Building. and on the flight path of millions of birds from Africa to Europe who will collide with structure and die Its a death trap for birds Italy does not care
Dammit! Just ***** sat on a teasel.
That's quite wrong (unless you have better facts?). Though not mentioned in the article at all, I read that he flew back to attend his trial, which is scheduled for tomorrow, 4th Sept.
Millions of birds at risk from Italy’s planned Messina Strait Bridge This must be stopped - people power can stop this Economic growth fanatics have zero care for nature only profit but without nature even these shysters cannot exist www.birdlife.org/news/2025/08...
Introducing digital ID won't "stop the boats" It would instead raise a whole range of human rights concerns - from mass surveillance to accessibility www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
The whole event should have been handled quite differently, perhaps simply advising the (obviously harmless) person that they would need to attend a police interview in the forthcoming week to discuss the social media tweets -not assailing and jailing them in an airport on arrival.
B, b, bbut what's going on here? Piggy-backing? 😂
It's very unusual for someone to pay the wrong amount of stamp duty when they're receiving tax advice. There are probably three possibilities: (1) Ms Rayner got the law wrong (2) She didn't take the right advice (3) She didn't disclose all the facts to the law firm.
Could also be wishful thinking about #DonaldTrump.
I need a machine to warn me when I go to add stuff to the garden compost that the over-ripe avocado I threw away last week isn't some fucking great black slug out to get me!
Quick maths check.... ...yep, that's 1,000 former employees, then.
Should the lawyers expect to pay for the mistakes they cause other people?
I thought I'd ring in sick and tell the boss that my #mitochondria are playing up again today. (No, I didn't really. I'm retired. I just told my wife) #samething

It pisses me off when these local farmers bitch about wind and solar "ruining the landscape" a day after they sprayed 800 gallons of pesticides to kill every living thing in sight.
Lots of chat at the moment about lack of new allotment sites, our charity Green Allotments is buying land for new allotment sites in England and has also launched The New Allotment Site Fund ⬇️
Absol💯lutely. But few people realise this.
I can't disagree with that. But it may help. Degrowth is going to have some really awful (but necessary) consequences. I, myself, am here on this earth solely because of the extraction of fossil fuels from this earth. Most others are, too.
It's upsetting to find that some fellow allotment holders think it's OK to burn plastic on their plots. Most of us have access to home waste collection and recycling facilities. Bonfires, and burning plastic on site, is NOT OK!
A devastating landslide wipes out a village in Sudan's Darfur, killing over 1,000 people Africa with less than 4% of carbon emissions is paying the price in death and devastation from drill baby drill killing machine www.trtworld.com/world/articl...
No! It's his mitochondria. Anyone can tell that.
Please say you disagree! This is like carbon capture: over-designed solutions that will never, ever work. There are better ways.
This is just bollocks. Solar radiation hits the earth's surface because the sun shines on it. To suggest we need space-based energy capture just adds another layer of weakness to energy security. It's like our acceptance of offshore wind, with no regard to Russia's abilty to sever underwater cables
Wonderful to hear you stand up against this madman. Why the press just quietly accept his appalling actions, I've no idea. He's a bully; they're cowards. You are not. Go get him.
Gosh, a real beauty. Looks like it's perfectly adapted to a boring lifestyle. ...just like me. #Coleoptera

Oooh, thank you. Didn't know that. Have been watching our 'little buddies' slowly growing. It makes sense to encourage these buds to grow.
Nooooooooo! Don't shake the product!!!!!!
Oh, so sorry you faced this from such an ignorant, ill-educated person. Do take it further. These c**ts need putting in their place.
Great to hear someone finally speak out against this appalling monster of a 'man'.
'Overwhelmed'? You should have said 'Chuffed'
What a total wanker.
HEY, HUMANITY! YOU DIDN'T FUCKIN' LISTEN, DID YOU, YOU BASTARDS! #ClimateChange #ClimateBreakdown #GlobalWarming #GlobalHeating #ApocalypseNow
Maybe if we had this system in the UK we might have far less overnight criminal damage or theft on our allotments. Somehow, I can't imagine it not being abused here, though. 🤔 #AllotmentLife
Did you read the debunking of this non-story? If not, it's well worth Googling for it.
Sainsbury's already had mince pies and panettone on sale last month! But spray painting plants - that's a B&M-level crime!
This is the secretary of energy and also why climate advocates almost universally feel like jumping into a volcano.
Yeah, but to be fair, he's probably talking to his voting base. Dumb as fucking fuck, the lot of 'em!
They can use AI to pretend! 🤣
That it? He said that already.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
In the 1930s my Mum won 2nd prize in a school writing competition. She was so upset only to receive a large dictionary & not the 1st prize of a book by some long-forgotten children's author. Many decades later she told me how that book changed her life, and was used for all her creative writing.
Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go
TBH: they've already lost many longtime Labour voters. It's Zack's Green Party for me from now on - unless they do something about it PDQ!

I'm glad someone enjoys the botanical interests in our City (#DerbyUK). Though we do actually have one or two slightly more interesting plants than Oxford Ragwort here!
Not sure this is the right clip for those Trump quotes? But what a useless tub of lard that man is!
They are indeed, but extremely sharp talons, even at 20 days. I quite like this shot, taken while we were ringing (banding) them.
Meanwhile, over in the fascist disunited state of #America…
Yes, they do indeed. It’s natural and all part of the food chain, of course.
Welcome to Labour's '1984' where 'Thoughtcrime' is now an arrestable offence. WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY?!!!
Considering how our current Government seem to have a knack for screwing up policies in general, I'm half expecting them to try copying Scotland but scrap the off peak fares instead.
I once had a Yeti gaiter trashed by a falling boulder. It went right through, almost to the bone. Back in blighty, my Mum cut out the piece with the hole in it, and a gave it back to me, framed, as a memento of my not quite dying on the Aiguille Verte!
Not sure if the stonework on this building supports it, but huge large number of Burton stores used the iridescent black Norwegian facing-stone 'Larvikite' (From Larvik, of course). So ubiquitous was it that it was sometimes referred to as 'Montague Burtonite'.
#Mythology
Gosh.
Who says I haven’t achieved anything positive during my first year in office?
Asylum seekers are way down the real list of problems for the UK. I want to hear achievable solutions to the real problems.
I love these random posts on Bluesky’s ‘Discover’ feed, because one learns about totally new and unusual stuff (unlike back on Twitter) Had to look it up, but, oh boy, was it worth it! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Se...
A new experience for us, but we couldn’t agree more. However we are finding the courgette invasion has increased the frequency of my wife’s therapy sessions. 🤣
Not by Peregrine Falcons, they aren’t. They love ‘em!
Zack Polanski, "We have a failing Labour government: two child benefit cap, disability cuts, the genocide in Gaza" "Poor people have got poorer, rich people have got richer. We need a wealth tax, the redistribution of wealth, the funding of our public services" "I despise Nigel Farage's politics"
Oh, I couldn’t possibly say!🤣
Oh no. Another ’named storm’ heading our way! ‘Windy Day Wednesday’ promises to make life slightly uncomfortable for those who don’t know to dress themselves properly.
So pleased to hear that #Putin has promised not to attack European countries. I mean, he and Liar #Lavrov promised exactly the same about Ukraine in 2022. These are both men of honour and we have absolutely no evidence to think they can’t be trusted, have we? #RussiaIsATerroristState
It’s funny what each person perceives and how different those perceptions are, isn’t it? This morning, for example, I could not convince my wife that the singer David Gray sounds so much like Loudon Wainwright III. To me their voices are almost identical and so I love listening to them both.
We regret to announce that Britain's worst newspaper has started rolling out the dumb hit pieces.
Real police state stuff, pre-emptively arresting people in Defend Our Juries, because they are organising a peaceful protest.
Well, well, well. The well’s well again, after a well-wisher gave me a well washer which well and truly fixed it and got me pumped. All’s well that ends well, I suppose.
I suggested to my girlfriend that we might give it a go, too. She broke up with me immediately after putting a bounty on my head.
I’m clearly a very ‘unreasonable’ person!

But come to think of it, we could eradicate all feral SUVs and live in safer cities as a result.
…or even ‘feral cats’! 🤣
It’s one of those neat and tidy diets, isn’t it? Baguette and bin it.
What's really, really weird about the whole Schrödinger's Trump thing—aside from the fact that the man is an uncontrollable, unrepentant narcissist who has never allowed himself to be out of the public eye for this long—is that there don't appear to be any news orgs talking about even the theories.
