NEW: Bob Geldof lets rip over Gaza genocide. PRESENTER: "Isn’t it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole?" GELDOF: "Stop it Trevor. If Israelis want to protest, get in your cars. Stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border. Let your own army stop you. Shame on you.”
As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep! Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications. This should also be banned? Influence being bought in Govt? Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy
It is difficult to decide what I dislike most about UK politics now, especially since it is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government. The handling of welfare cuts. The support of Israel's genocide. The predicted backpedaling on Doctor's pay and NHS staff. The cosying up with #potus.
This isn’t actually a skit it’s real
Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal? PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard! (1/2)
Food for thought. youtu.be/XMasQuHzjJk?...
£25 an hour for my new cleaner who started yesterday Doctors on £17 are striking to get £23 The fact that Wes Streeting and Labour are pushing the 'doctors are greedy' narrative while my cleaner charges £2 more, is absolutely shameful
Someone was saying they would ignore the hosepipe ban. Why? Cos the water companies should be reducing water loss etc. It's easy to take the moral high ground and protest viewpoint when you don't actually earn a penny and live off benefits that pay your water bills etc.
Oh dear. It seems like the publishers & film-makers truly had the wool pulled over their eyes. Thank goodness for good journalism - well done Chloe Hadjimatheou & @theobserveruk.bsky.social and for exposing The #PorkiePath! observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
2003: The Fairford Five anti Iraq war protestors broke into RAF Fairford, they were arrested and charged with criminal damage - this is one amongst many 2025: Pro Palestinian protestors broke into RAF Brize Norton and are being pursued for terrorism Shame on Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper
Work in progress. Damage limitation...
That feeling when you realise the order you placed with a well known sports shop was actually a clone website. 🤬
The world must be set free.
Reform’s Britannia Card is a great idea… So good, we made an advert for it. Target audience: Not you.
Protests against military activities is nothing new (think Greenham common , Menwith hill etc) so what is different about this? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
I am old enough to recall as far back as 2018 when Cooper sported a suffragette rosette. A reminder that the suffragettes, unlike Palestine Action, actually planted bombs and destroyed property.
Why is it that having travelled through the Nederlands and Germany with good data roaming coverage through O2, on arriving in Denmark there's none?
Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.
What a surprise, #POTUS lies! Let's guess, his followers will believe him #trumpism #maga #cult www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wonder what #gift #potus will get from the #Saudi oligarchs today?
@lidlgb.bsky.social where all sorts of transportation can be recharged
There's something nice about old stuff. #camping equipment.
Don't mention the Vikings. Leif Erikson, a Viking explorer, led the first known European expedition to North America.
When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.
I feel increasingly disconnected from the party I voted for and had such high hopes for. Did we give them a mandate to cos-play Reform-lite? I want them to lead and argue for their vision instead of chasing polls. Oh and charge me more income tax instead of penalising kids & disabled people
The Pope is really doing his best to turn us all Catholic. 🤣
Found a wallet with a BIG sum of money and a bank card today. Explained to my daughter about 'doing the right thing', and handed it into the bank of the card holder. A very grateful owner called me. It's fair to say our honesty was much appreciated and my daughter heard just what it meant to him.
If #POTUS is #PumpandDump the markets could the world markets pause trading until he decides whether to reimpose the #tariffs after his deliberate pausing tariff tactics?
There's an app called #maplescan that identies American products and suggests Canadian alternatives. What a great idea. I'd definitely use a European equivalent (even though the UK isn't in the European union).
At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.
Tee shirt arrived! 'A world without Caesars' A great use of the phrase by Jay Graber (CEO Bluesky) in these current times.
It's that time of year when the children take their efforts to school for the #EasterEgg competition. Some efforts are worthy of set design in the West End / Broadway. Others are creations against all the odds of #cats playing with them.
Rather than apply reciprocal #tariffs how about just boycotting the #USA products that might have tariffs applied? No revenue will hurt USA companies more than us paying more for their goods. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This liberation day USA citizens will pay more for food, clothes, cars, tech, Temu/AliExpress etc. They will be hit if they switch to USA goods cos they can't manufacture as cheaply as Asia etc. You all voted for him Trump MAGA. Welcome to Brexit V2.
Sorry, 'liberation' day. Easy mistake.
Is it just me, but I can't help but wonder why governments (whether it be the USA, UK, Russia, China, Israel) don't use their own encrypted messaging systems. Surely they have access to programmers that could create said apps rather than use WhatsApp, Signal etc.
Elbows up, Canada.
Going to ride my motorcycle to #Denmark instead.
⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞
Every week I take my kid to #swimming class. Every week I think I've seen the worst #parking ever. Each following week proves that I was wrong the week before. This week is no exception. Don't even get me started on the #parenting once we're in the facility!
Yes, and Eurovision. Maybe let Canada enter competitions in their place?
Fascinating.
As opposed to a whiteboard marker pen!
The problem with your other half 'clearing out the attic' to #SortOutYourLife is that everything from the attic is now in a holding pattern in the upstairs landing!
Time for some #cats.
Why would any country sign up to weapons systems that become obsolete if the service contract had to be cancelled due to concerns of the political direction of the source country. Correct decision.
Personally I was reluctant to even respond to the staff survey because they were numbered, they were supposedly anonymous, and yet if you didn't respond you would get sent a reminder to respond.
Is it me, or would this irritate you? #WhereAreTheParents? Noisy kids playing video games in their phone.
And whatever replaces the last organisational structure, they'll always ask the same people what to do. The silent majority get ignored even if they're asked for input.
Are there any USA media outlets pushing back at POTUS and his oligarchs? There's plenty of lesser known commentators on SoMe but what about those that reach out to'normal' Americans?
What can be done to save Canada from Trump’s control? youtu.be/yG9kCNnyMTQ?... Trump’s claim that he wishes Canada to be the 51st state of the USA has to be taken seriously, but what it threatens is a new era of brutal, anti-democratic, imperialism. How are we going to react to that?
Elon to the rescue #ThunderbirdsAreGo Just like his offer to rescue #KidsInACave with an inflatable tube. #ThanksNoThanks
So now USA applies tariffs to all imported Aluminium and Steel. Seems easy, sell our products to Canada, Mexico, Europe, basically anywhere but the USA.
You should always ask, WHY? Why are we letting the Energy Companies rip us off? Why do Private Health Companies exist? Why are we allowing the richest to have so much money and pay no tax? Why?
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends. Spread the word.
Hitler's appalling Mein Kampf promoted racist & expansionist Lebensraum. He claimed that Germany had the right to subjugate & take control of other countries. via expulsion, enslavement & murder of those who lived in "his" country. We have been warned. http://dlvr.it/TJNG1S
My father told me rich people stay rich because they hide from the paperboy.(they don't pay what they owe)
Bansky
Done already.
I have 4 days for a whistle stop tour of Denmark by #motorcycle having travelled from the Nederlands and northern Germany to get there. Probably 250 miles a day max. I've been to Copenhagen before. Anyone got suggestions of places to ride to/through?
Sunday #Kitten and #Cat to offset the #sundayblues
Dr Seuss in 1941 knew what was going on.
I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.
I said this morning that the euphoria generated by Starmer's success on Thursday might not last until Friday teatime. And here we are...
Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.
TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout
So, Trump forcibly deports hundreds of immigrants who have no criminal record and welcomes in Andrew Tate - a toxic misogynist on trial for rape, child-trafficking and money-laundering. Sums up what this repulsive US regime is all about. Moral depravity and money. Nothing else. Nothing good.
There are reports that Andrew Tate and his brother have left Romania for the USA via private jet. Despite facing charges including human trafficking and sexual misconduct, it would appear the Trump administration has helped him to go home. Tate is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump.
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.
Who stands to make the most out of #ukraine and #gaza? The ultra rich who deal in arms, commodities etc. Who stands to suffer the most from redistribution of funds? The poor, those on benefits or receiving international aid. How about taxing the ultra rich to fund the military uplift?
Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world; men who live at home with their partner and children who love them experience riches he couldn't imagine.
There are so many #autistic strengths that aren’t talked about enough. We are caring, driven individuals with a lot to offer despite all the stigma and discrimination. We are enough, just as we are ❤️ #autism #neurodivergent
This is the crux of the matter in this excellent column by @gideonrachman.bsky.social. You either have to believe, with little to no evidence, that team Trump is playing 4D geopolitical chess. Or take the obvious signals that this US may want to carve up the world with Russia and China.
At a London bus stop. The Brits are telling it like it is.
French President Emmanuel Macron says US and Ukraine should be compensated by Russia, not by Ukraine. Russia started the war 👏
Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.
Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.
Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
This is how it’s done.
Ed Davey, "Our closest ally, the United States, is now supporting Russia, removing itself from the defence of Europe and the UK" "We've got to make the defence of our country our top priority"
Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
How did the USA end up with Tango Man as #POTUS when there are actually some informed, sane, principled people in their political portfolio? youtu.be/rKBM2kS6B8o?...
End of UK : USA special relationship. Not before time. USA was only ever our friend when we were repaying them for their 'friendship' during WW2. Always following the money, now it's Russia's money and Ukraine's rare metals they want.
You can add if I miss
Did you ever think you’d see the day when America would fuck over their Allies for Putin? Well. Here we are.
