island of strangers new reality show for ITV4 12 good-looking Brits are placed on a remote outcrop in Orkney they must grow the island's economy sufficiently to pay for a proper health service before they get old enough to need it daily must-watch

Top of the Pops (14th May 1981). Tenpole Tudor, currently at number 10 in the hit parade, perform Swords of a Thousand Men.

Okay, that’s enough internet for today.

BREAKING: The politicians who take thousands of pounds in expenses and stuff their faces at a tax-payer subsidised canteen and get drunk at a tax-payer subsidised bar and enjoy a tax-payer subsidised second home want you to know it's wrong to take handouts from the state x

The government is legitimising Reform with anti-migrant rhetoric while alienating long-time Labour voters by shifting to the right. This won't defeat the far right, nor will it improve lives ruined by austerity - it's clearly a lose-lose strategy.

The BBC is worried about our democracy - thing is they broke our trust and by platforming far right nonsense they are the ones breaking it!!

The worst element of what happened this week isn't even about immigration specifically. It's that Starmer surrendered against populism.

Things children should be thinking about: - What toy to play with - Who’s coming to their birthday party - Whether to watch Bluey or Paw Patrol Things children shouldn’t have to think about: - Whether their family has enough money for food

Can Someone find this out!!... DEMS we are looking at YOU .....🤔

Britain is running out of jail cells because it is locking up tens of thousands of people with drink and drug problems, mental health issues and low educational attainment. Try tackling these issues instead of building more prisons.

"In Japan, they have begun installing floating gardens on public parking lots' roofs, turning these areas into green spaces. These gardens beautify the urban setting and provide crucial habitats for bees and other pollinators, essential for biodiversity" via David Attenborough Fans

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

"We create divisions between the working & middle class, when the real problem is people earning more in their sleep than you could earn in your life." My life, my politics & why we need powerful stories - with action - to turn our country around: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you wouldn't accept "we are at risk of becoming an island of strangers" from Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage you probably shouldn't accept it from Keir Starmer. Don't pretzel yourself trying to explain why it's ok from the guy in the red tie.

A cursory look at BBC & ITV News at 10 is a bit mad (I don't usually watch). ITV send man to a beach in France to watch people get into a boat. BBC interview people who say immigrants are needed to fill jobs, or immigrants will take all the jobs. Nobody says tax the super rich to fund services 🤔

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

In the 1940s my grandad joined the fight against Mussolini. In the 1970s my parents joined the fight against the NF In the 1990s I joined the fight against the BNP. Starmer's rhetoric is all too familiar. Solidarity with everyone under attack from this increasingly far right government.

Give your average British born citizen a C2 Cambridge Proficiency Test and see what they score. I guarantee you that quite a few would flunk it. And that's not their fault, nor does it matter.... because language alone does not define your right to be here.

Merrick Garland is proof that accountability can die of natural causes.

New DWP research gives a clearer picture of why PIP claims have been rising than government & media rhetoric about the need for cuts People with complex poor health, driven in part by financial hardship to seek additional support to meet their basic costs www.gov.uk/government/p...

AOC: "We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces

This might sound pretty basic but if politicians led their decision-making with “how can I care for people well?” instead of “how can I win power?” I think the world would be in a better spot.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Big story of the week? --WH wanting to suspend habeas corpus --Illegal gestapo like round-ups nationwide --Arresting and intimidating public officials --Economic chaos, lies and weakening economy --Turning the corruption up to 11 --Destroying US healthcare protections --Gutting American science

Free speech from the right!

A PLANE?!?! My dad turned down tickets to a BULLETS game when he was chief of staff of the senate foreign relations committee! And this guy accepts A PLANE?

#SocialistSunday #bbclaurak Anyone in Britain remember Socialism? We had a brief taste of it and its positive impact on our society after WW2 in 1945. Since then, the Tories have almost eradicated everything good we built by privatising and selling it off. Even Labour have forgotten how to do it.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Oh my! 🤩

Just read that Bsky has nearly 35M members, whilst twitter is losing millions at the same time. Music to my ears - hopefully it will bankrupt the sociopathic evil goon. That and his self-destruction of Tesla. His arrogance and hubris were his undoing. Incarus in modern form.

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

I want to thank @carladenyer.bsky.social for her leadership When she first put herself forward, the Greens weren't favoured to gain any new seats Through her leadership the Green Party beat the doubters and established itself as a major force Forever grateful www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I LOVE THIS 😂🔥🧦

Someone told me the other day that saying ‘my lovelies’ on here undermines what I’m saying, but I don’t agree. You are lovely and I’m lucky to be connected to you, and I’m going to crack on 🥰🤣

This day keeps getting better.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

People with a disability need to rent places that work for them and supports their active lives @greenjennyjones.bsky.social amendments end the discrimination that stops people asking for adaptations and also allows them to make minor adjustments.

At last, moral leadership from an American who now leads much of the world’s faithful. No wonder we are all profoundly hopeful.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
