At an event with DeSantis, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said officials will push to end "all vaccine mandates" in law. "Every last one of them is wrong," (Politico) That’s measles, polio, chicken pox and tetanus… America’s anti-science anti-intellect shift is going to kill so many people.
What a take-down. Fabulous.
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
Please let him save this country from the fascists.
Thought this was worth posting today. Fair play to you @zackpolanski.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=0MDz...
Fabulous! I can just picture you.
Here we go, then! ‘Fresh from his heartfelt performance as Howard in Through It All Together – a moving tribute to football, family, and resilience – Reece will now step into the iconic role of Scrooge, bringing his trademark depth and northern grit to Dickens' timeless tale.’ #Leedsplayhouse
This is a positive big development that should have dominated the UK news. What on earth has happened to Labour Comms?
Dragon House in York was defaced with racist graffiti last week, targeting a family who’ve been part of their community for over ten years. One window cleaner from Crystal Clean Services stepped up to clear the abuse.
And yet Starmer’s government remains silent. He’s such a let down. If only we had a true Labour government rather than one masquerading under the name.
The world's largest academic association of genocide scholars - the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars - has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. genocidescholars.org/wp-content/u...
Corbyn still is the: • hardest working • most honest • most resilient • best equipped • best prepared • least corrupt • kindest • most global • fairest • most dignified • most inspiring • most popular • MOST ELECTABLE: that was why he was so dangerous #CorbynWasRight
Literally everything Labour does feels like it's orchestrated to empower Reform these days. They are worse than Tories, they're neo-libs aiding fascism. Remember, fascists are often incapable of governing, but liberals appealing to conservatives often enable the laws and systems of abuse.
That’s made my day and tomorrow.
"We are here to replace you" Zack Polanski to Labour
Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Germany and France have announced a joint European early-warning missile defense system, JEWEL, which integrates space-based sensors from the Odin’s Eye project with advanced ground-based radars.
Ursula von der Leyen’s plane was forced to land in Bulgaria and use paper maps after suspected Russian GPS jamming disabled its navigation, the FT reports.
Please could you spread this sensible petition? If you are in UK. I'm so worried it'll be left too late and we'll be exactly like US. Doomed and broken. petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...
Morning new followers👋 Did you know… I co-host a political podcast that swings from Trump’s vom-bag cabinet groveling to kinky hotel rooms For when you need your politics lighter to cope with the shitshow 1.4M listeners. Unfiltered. Sometimes unhinged. Come joins the fun 👇
We are so sick of this… In what world is a ‘double-tap’ a mishap?

My morning beef with Nick Ferrari on @lbc over his double standards…
Sangita Myska tells Novara Media that she doesn't regret criticising Israel on LBC even though she lost her job at because of it - LBC should be ashamed
Apparently the UK government are doing an emergency alert test on the 7th of September so just in case anyone knows any current domestic abuse victims who would need to have their safety phones switched off so as not to be outed, please pass it in.
This 🔽 spread widely 👍
The North Sea is a dead basin and the Conservatives are a dead party. Even if this was done 80% is sold on the international market and we have to buy it at what ever ridiculous price it is sold at. No energy security. No reductions in energy bill and no future in any of this...
The whole thrust of this feed is that we are one people, one community, all dealing with exactly the same problems. It’s easy to get siloed. But working together we can spread the burden and find solutions,
Six continents. Not bad. Still searching for that elusive Antarctican voice.
Brief experiment to see how far information here flows. In the replies, just state your country of origin. I’m interested to see where I need to work harder.
Lib Dems have the best selection procedures, best ethics and clearest philosophy - hence, zero Lib Dem MPs have lost the whip since the general election
Trump on Gaza: “I think we are going to have a conclusive ending within the next 2-3 weeks.” He also said he brought the hostages home.
This sounds remarkably like what wannabe PM Farage would like to see in the UK 😡😡
Israel attacking places and people protected under international law. UK government is so appalled that it decides...
Labour - pro-Israel supporters of oligarchic capitalism & finance Tories - pro-Israel supporters of plutocratic capitalism & finance Farage - pro-Israel supporter of crony capitalism & finance That's ≈ 67% support from voting intention in the polls. British public = Turkeys voting for Christmas!
Now we just need one of Netanyahu and one of Putin and one of Farage and we'll have the whole set!
How do Trump voters plan to get healthcare when Trump and his rich Republican buddies gut Medicaid? Have they thought about this?
Trump said prices would drop on Day One. I guess he doesn’t eat any vegetables.
The Trump regime is a Russian asset.
All hail Chairman Trump! 🇨🇳
It’s been 13 days since Trump militarized DC. Crime is on the rise. Trump owns it.
Wondering today whether John Bolton wishes he’d testified against Trump in that first impeachment.
Trump to America: Putin wants peace. Putin to America: Trump is my useful idiot.
Trump is in the Epstein files.
Donald Trump lies about EVERYTHING.
Republicans had a choice: expose child s*x traffickers or protect Trump. They chose Trump. They chose traffickers. They are the party of child s*x trafficking.
I was wrong about Trump before I was right about Trump.
The disabling of America continues. The Pentagon has fired Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, the chief of the Navy Reserve, and former Navy SEAL officer Rear Admiral Milton Sands who oversaw Naval Special Warfare Command.
This is a very good read. “In just seven months since his inauguration, the favorability of the U.S. (not just of its president) has collapsed to the point where this nation is now less popular than China in the eyes of the rest of the world.”
@trishtoo.bsky.social Hunger isn’t just a feeling it’s fear, it’s pain, it’s what we live with daily. My dad keeps trying, but there's nothing. Please, if you’re able, a donation could bring us relief. We truly need it.🙏🏻
Full on week. Went to see my old Nan. She says I’m inheriting nothing.
Trump Pentagon hire Elbridge Colby, who wants to slash US support for Ukraine, has blocked Ukraine’s ability to defend itself four times since he took office, according to the WSJ.
It’s a no from me.
UK Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has to decide whether to allow China’s new super-embassy in the heart of London. Yet China refuses to supply the full blueprints - whole sections have been greyed out, areas which some have suggested are “spy dungeons”.
25 dentists are working through a mountain of bones to try to identify some of the 700,000 victims of the Syrian dictator Assad’s Death Machine.
FGS @teamlabouruk.bsky.social tell Keir Starmer and David Lammy STOP THE MURDER OF CHILDREN NOW
If you laughed Corbyn offstage for his proposals on broadband but are failing to ridicule this story at least twice as loudly, pop a quick apology to me in the chat below. Thanks! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Starmer tweeted today about how his govt has helped “working people” save money by keeping the bus fare cap at £3. He didn’t mention that the bus fare cap was originally only £2 when Labour won the election last year. His government raised it by 50% in January this year. Fucking hypocrite
Starmer Stans should listen to what their own MPs like Clive Lewis are saying about their beloved leader who is very much in danger of becoming the British Giolitti unless he starts attacking the far right and racist anti migrant rhetoric instead of parroting it
"Nigel Farage, is that you"?
There's been a big drop in tourism from #Finland to the US according to new figures out this week as well. ⬇️ This piece from @lewisgoodall.com perhaps gives some (more) context why.
World Health Organization: “It is time for the governments and politicians of the world to wake up and address the catastrophe in Gaza.”
Excellent.. massive thanks to all who supported anti Farage demos everywhere!
Good on the Mirror for having the bravery to strike out against this bullshit
She pleaded guilty. The absolute 51st state of it.
& she thinks she is going to sue the Police and bring Starmer down... She got out of the slammer just as Delulu gets in the dictionary, under the word Delulu is a picture of Lucy Connolly.
A moment of collective shame except for Starmer and Lammy apparently 😡 youtu.be/DYNQPgowUFo
We need less think pieces on how new media is radicalizing the young and more think pieces on how old media is radicalizing the old
Thank you, Judge Williams. You’re standing in the breach and halting this nightmare in accordance with the law, and we appreciate you!
Today I argued for raising inheritance tax, a tax on a hand out, unearned wealth, in exchange for cuts in income tax-a tax on work. This has riled up lots of people on X. But I think it’s essential to make capitalism function. Watch my argument in full. youtu.be/YSruUZBxlrE?...
"Nerd". "Devil". "Communist". “Pathetic”. “Clown”. "Plank". These are some of the names Lewis Goodall was called this week when he floated the idea of increasing inheritance tax. Why are the right-wing so furious about this idea? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...
Trump's peace efforts aren't going anywhere any time soon. This last week was theatre alone, on every side. For the Europeans and the Russians the real prize of that theatre isn't peace- it's Trump's attention, the realities only in his head. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...
🤣
“There is no Epstein list” - Ghislaine Maxwell Well Ghislaine, when you take all the rich and powerful people who regularly spent time with Epstein on his island, planes, boats parties etc and write them all down on a piece of paper… That’s the Epstein list. Hope this helps.
A searing analysis from one of my very best friends. kentandsurreybylines.co.uk/business/pla...
Detailed footage has emerged showing the launch and flight of Ukraine’s domestically produced FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile.
Absolutely brilliant 👇😀😀😀
Very
And have this one too: (h/t @starlilstella.bsky.social )
Hegseth has also fired Lt Gen Jeffrey Kruse, the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. If you still don’t think Trump is trying to disable America, it’s time to think again.
Heartwarming. Love and kindness in the world.
Mark, do you know about this charity and their IG page. They rescue elephants and rhinos and a few others and then release and watch over them. There's videos of orphan rhinos in their pjs (blankets) and they never sleep alone. Warms the heart.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
Brought to you by @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social David Lammy Keir Starmer And the rest of the UK governments Zionists now in power , it’s time to reclaim this countries sanity humanity ethics and Morals , get rid of this rancid government.
Cameron, now a Conservative peer, was the British prime minister between 2010 and 2016. Corbyn was leader of the opposition from 2015 to 2020... Numerous legal experts told MEE there is a serious risk that Cameron could be criminally liable. #bbcpm
Another good read by @chadbourn.bsky.social Scary stuff! The Old World Order open.substack.com/pub/chadbour...
Trump has given Putin *another* two week deadline to show he’s serious about a settlement in the Ukraine war.
Hey @chadbourn.bsky.social a repost for a pint?
🚨The @chinookjustice.bsky.social petition calling for a public inquiry now has over 40,000 signatures. Are you listening Prime Minister? You promised transparency and accountability in public office. Please now deliver on that Please keep signing everyone www.change.org/p/justice-fo...
An even better one. bsky.app/profile/stop...
If you want to do more, or speak to others and raise concerns then you will have a local Stand Up To Racism group, probably on Facebook. Going by your name it may be this one. They usually have WhatsApp groups too. We need local decent people to oppose the Nasties www.facebook.com/sutrliverpool
Thank you for writing all of this. It's really important to get these real narratives out into a world dominated by ones that scapegoat asylum seekers for trying to find a safer, better life here. Maybe attend a Stand Up To Racism counter-protest? Don't need to hold signs or shout Just make a stand
The only people who have spoiled the nature of this area were the mindless thugs who came to our homes last evening and created chaos. I’ve never been scared by the asylum seekers. I’m terrified that the angry mob will return. So, how do I get *my* country back from them? I’ve genuinely no idea

‘You don’t have a right to inherit money from mummy and daddy that you did nothing to earn.' @lewisgoodall.com suggests hiking inheritance tax to 100% in order to reduce income tax and 'incentivise work.'
This is always one of our favourite discussions to have with our Economics classes after they have all agreed that we should live in a meritocracy. 🤣 #EconSky
Excellent piece Mark. Let’s watch what unfolds for Venezuela.
