@eddavey.libdems.org.uk In view of the fact that US seems to be aligned with Russia, how far is the UK in this situation? Could you please ask the PM at the next PMQs why he hasn't released the full Russia Report? Thank you.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

So, humanity is screwed. The oligarch class in Russia links up with the oligarch class in the USA and all the minor oligarchs from around the world join in. The rest of us are just controlled like performing pets. Great way for humanity to end! A destroyed planet or rampant disease!

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social if I wanted racist bigotry I would be paying to be a member of Farage’s Reform company. This is not what I expect from you. Do better or you will lose whatever remains of the middle ground in politics. @stellacreasy.bsky.social well said!

I am confused, everywhere on social media we read about how the Ukraine forces are beating the Russian attack yet BBC news have just said that Russia are dominating the war. What is actually going on? If the BBC is accurate (big if I know) shouldn’t Europe be doing more?

Serious question: what is going to happen to all the money mElon and Trump are ‘saving’ by firing all these people? When are the American people going to demand that the ‘saved’ money is used to provide a better life for the majority of them? (I know, they are pocketing it all but…..wake up people)

Now the divide and conquer phase beings. Trump promises a different outcome for the UK as opposed to Europe if we capitulate to his demands. It is so obvious that he is trying to break up the EU by this tactic. Question is, will Starmer fall for it? On the evidence so far he might be stupid enough

@skeet admins, is there any chance of getting a’translate’ button on posts that aren’t in the users language? I have a rudimentary knowledge of some languages but would love to be able to read a translated version. Is this on your road map or is it a @BlueSky thing?

If you are leaving Twitter, don’t delete your profile! If you have a reasonable amount of followers someone could claim your ID and post any old crap using your username. Better to just abandon it and leave it to fester in the Twitter swamp. (PS I refuse to call Twitter X)

@bbcnewsi.bsky.social what the f**k. You give brief mention on Radio 2 bulletin to this governments snub to the EU offer of some sort of deal that will affect us all and then spend twice as long on a years old Tina Turner song that has been ‘discovered’ . Priorities?

The key point here is "we will not obey." We need more of that from state officials. We need refusal from everyone who the administration will rely upon to work its will in the world, from governors to teachers, social workers, doctors, and other everyday people in the streets. Refusal is essential.

Skeets is a game changer. I don’t like what Twatter has become but the interface on iPad is good. Skeets goes a long way to replicating this without all the crap that comes with Elons bastard child. Can heartily recommend this app!

I notice the daily parade of Trump idiocy has vanished from my Twatter feed. Is Elon deliberately censoring him know he has got what he wants? How long before he becomes seriously ill and has to stand aside for the ‘benefit’ of the country? Or has a Russian style accident?

I hope the farmers don’t prevent any ambulances or other emergency vehicles from doing their jobs. I hope the same people who were getting all agitated by the JSO protests show the same level of outrage about the farmers. Would hate them to be seen as hypocrites

@UKLabour need to crack on with Leverson 2 and a reform of the management of the BBC. The media are going to go after them whatever so the time has come to pull their teeth. We don’t want a compliant media, left or right wing, we need a media that reports fact not propaganda

Much as I dislike Twatter their ipad interface is so much better. Are there any plans for a more modern interface for iPad users? At present BlueSky looks very old fashioned. Case in point I cannot see all my post to check for typos. Please make it better
