Gallivanting Grandma. Sister says I have “strong opinions”. Think she means I’m left-wing! Used to fill a happy school with happy kids.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

A thought. Hamas sends the body of a Palestinian lady to Israel by mistake. Not once, have I heard anyone ask how this lady’s body will be respected. Who might she be? Will she have the courtesy of being returned to her family who grieve her? Why am I left feeling that somehow she matters less?

Why isn’t Morgan McSweeney even on here? Seems extraordinary. Hey - I’ll ask my MP - @sarahrussellmp.bsky.social why isn’t Labour all over this space?

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

I’m groaning at the number of times I’m shouting this into the void. Thought we’d have seen Change by now.

Just signed. And thank you @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social

2024: Rachel Reeves says the Conservatives left a £22 billion black hole 2025: "New data shows UK could be £26bn better off with ‘closer EU alignment’" Brexit is a failure because there's no way to increase trade by putting barriers to trade. End the madness

theconversation.com/fines-for-te... I really hope Labour takes a look at this. Families have such complex needs and holidays together &/or visiting distant family is enriching and positive. The sledgehammer to crack a nut approach is damaging

An incredible photo from Berlin this evening. An estimated 100,000 have been on the streets in the German capital today to protest against the Far Right and fascism in Europe. #Resist (📸 Ricarda Lang)

I hope you get a lot of answers. Thank you for your suggestions

This is something 👇

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Great to see @sarahrussellmp.bsky.social on here. Hopefully all Labour MPs will soon be in this space.

Just home from a trip to Stratford upon Avon to see Sam West (who posted on the dark side but hasn’t joined us here yet) as Malvolio. Whole thing was absolutely brilliant so if you can get there, go! You can thank me later

So - gentle Threads unravelled and deleted so thank goodness for @bsky.app

Do take a look at Lewis Goodall’s new Substack. Really interesting!

Noticing a bit of a change in tone on here. Not in a good way.

Brilliant article. Come on Labour comms team. More prominence on the good already being done.

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

The Tories are paid for by a tiny minority of wealthy men to stop the rest of us from having better lives because they don’t want to pay taxes.

Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay & more - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak.bsky.social

Any art/craft enthusiasts on here?

Maintaining a sense of overwhelming gratitude while sunk onto sofa today. Covid vax in left arm and flu vax on the right. Maybe should’ve held back until fully recovered from a chest infection but no matter. Thank you to everyone who makes us safer for the slight inconvenience of a shot in the arm

Hello Bluesky. Another new arrival. Seems my long ago exodus from Twitter as soon as it changed persona was prophetic then! How is it on here? Threads is kind, are you?
