“Brexit means we can make our own agreements with the EU, as we pick and choose!” - UK chooses to make agreement with EU on a handful of issues. “Brexit Betrayed!”

This. This. This. Your “Brexit betrayals” can get in the sea!

Via @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social on insta, the most accurate use of this meme ever

Footwear worn by ten groups…   10. Bakers = loafers 9. Cat burglars = sneakers 8. Politicians = flip-flops 7. Plumbers = clogs (or tap shoes) 6. Doctors = heels 5. Trappers = barefoot 4. Artists = Skechers 3. Train drivers = Jimmy Choos 2. Dog librarians = Hush Puppies 1. Chickens = Reebok-bok-bok

My eight year old daughter, Nina has come up with her own slogan - autistic. Because she believes that if you have autism you’re fantastic. If you agree please give this a like or a share (she’s been inspired by @francesryan.bsky.social activism)

What could possibly go wrong?

FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES. There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

My friend, the NHS can't even test all the autistic children for autism.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Farage is just out and out lying here. You CANNOT get an autism diagnosis from your GP. What an odious little man.

The crisis for UK steel is exposing another – perhaps even bigger – crisis for the UK Our news media seems incapable of even the most basic factchecking YES energy for UK steelmakers is costly NO it's not due to net-zero YES it is due to GAS Here's what UK media isn't telling you🧵

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

Absolutely incredible response to Trump putting 10% tariffs on the uninhabited Heard Island. @heardislandgov.bsky.social

This is quite the read. Staggering but somehow not surprising.

Starship Duper… Really interesting view on why SpaceX’s ‘reusable’ Starship rockets keep failing. And why it’s all a big con…

Man, imagine buying your own newspaper and still being as unpopular as Andrew Tate.

So Teslas are fossil-fueled after all.

🔴Twenty More Government Reforms the Media Hasn’t Been Telling You About You probably won’t have read much about these announcements over recent weeks bylinetimes.com/2025/01/24/w...

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

This is an opinion I can get behind

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just a reminder of what trade deals “with the rest of the world” have done for us compared with what we have lost and continue to lose… (Private Eye)

Hmmm. Bad actor? Who could that possibly be? 🤷

Folks Jack Dorsey has zero to do with Bluesky. Early on he was spouting his usual bullshit about unmoderated platforms and the users chased him off the site. (He doesn’t believe in moderation but can’t handle getting yelled at.) Not long after that he quit the board and washed his hands of the site.

Stop posting your BlueSky user numbers! This is a very common banking security question!

Well done Bluesky reaching over 10 million users. I’m #1,512,474

Remember, you have to take a drink every time Trump says 1. Bacon prices are up four times 2. You can’t cross the street for a loaf of bread without getting murdered or raped 3. He will get gas prices under $2 Two drinks if he mentions immigrants eating cats

As followers on Xitter and Insta may know I have for some years posted a Tree of the Day. These are usually photos taken by myself. But occasionally someone else sends me one. This is from Matt Kelly founder of The New European. He went to the Amazon in Brazil all to win TotD!!!

It's a shame Reach's local news sites are unreadable due to adverts because they deserve a click for this piece of excellent court reporting. www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

Welcome to all of our new users, and a special welcome to the UK, which had the most Bluesky signups of any country for 5 out of the last 7 days! What makes Bluesky different? Some key features: 🧵

So you’ve decided to join Bluesky? Good for you, it’s a lovely place full of interesting, weird (complimentary) and fun folk. I’ve been here for a year, so I’ve put together this guide as a thread to help you orientate to the culture of the place. 🧵

Blue Sky already feels far more inclusive and community-minded than the cesspit over at Sh*tter. Like Twitter in the early days...
