Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Well this would make my day for sure.

Nigel Farage Is a 'Political Fraud' Who Must Be Exposed as an 'NHS-Privatising Putin Apologist', Says TUC Leader – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/02/05/n...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Nice job, maga! Kings Musk & Trump don’t need Telehealth — so they’re taking it away from everyone: all of you who are not as rich, powerful or privileged as Trump & his Tech Bros. Why are Americans struggling to make ends meet be stripped of this invaluable healthcare tool? We have to fight!!!

Every word that comes out of her is a lie. www.thenational.scot/news/2495569...

Will this Scotland good story be published by the BBC, Scotsman or Herald? Nope? talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/22/w...

Just in case no one knows the UK doesn't have a record number of people on benefits, in fact we have higher employment than France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Finland and many more. It's all just a lie for the billionaires to blame poor people for their mess.

Wait till Labour find out their voters in Scotland have pulled their own u turn and are backing SNP and independence, finally!!! Enjoy Kyiv, Keir, take Sarwar and Baillie with you, they will not be missed.

It's the first stage to have BRITISH whisky. Already, Scotch is 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports. If we had a Free Trade Agreement with India it would be 50%. UK couldn't have that. Wake up, Scotland.

It's time again #BoycottUSA

This is a new level of madness. I don't know how it can be stopped

Here in Europe, for many years we used to say that the problem with American politics was that the USA had two right wing parties. That's not true any more. Now the USA has a right wing party and a fascist personality cult.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I see that Labour and their press minions are now cynically claiming the Scottish Government’s GRR bill is to blame for the ‘trans tribunal’ issues. A bill which doesn’t exist & influences nothing because it never passed into law after the UKG banned it.

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

It’s not the job of the BBC to edit anti-fascist comments www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... The BBC edited out anti-Trump commentary at the BAFTAs. When art is not allowed free expression, evil walks in the door. What were they doing?

How many plane crashes and mass shootings will it take for Americans to care about their own safety? 🤔

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

Repost if you agree.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

Whit?

British media must have missed this one.

I wonder, because of the completely broken media these days, whether Americans have any clue about the chaos they have unleashed on the world, and their complete loss of status

Go Canada ✊️✊️✊️

Ferries though eh... www.19fortyfive.com/2025/02/the-...

BBC cut 2 or the 3 jokes about Donald Trump by David Tennant at the BAFTAs First is in this clip, "A film about incredible architecture.. In fact it's the boldest architecture in film this year apart from Donald Trump's hair in The Apprentice"

Don’t you just love how the people who wanted school open during the pandemic think we don’t need a Department of Education?

J.D. Vance's lecture in Europe basically convinced every country to quietly create a new secret group chat without the US.

Trump and Putin having peace talks without Zelenskyy. 🤷‍♂️ Be like Desperate Don calling Andy Burnham to decide Yorkshire’s future without consulting Sean Bean! Erm… don’t think so.

As SNP go up in polls, the media battle against them ramps up again. Read beyond the headlines as the stories bear no relation to the truth.

How long till Sarwar goes the same way as other ScotLab leaders who didn't come up to their London boss's expectations? www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Tilda Swinton yesterday called out greed addicted governments who make nice with planet wreckers and war criminals. She gave this powerful acceptance speech when she received an honorary Golden Bear award on the first day of the Berlin Film Festival on February 13.

General views from Munich - No indication that Trump team has a plan - Broad concern over US posture in Europe becoming part of a Ukraine deal - Fear that Trump might visit Moscow on Victory Day - Scepticism about feasibility of European troops in Ukr, esp impact on NATO defences

It's time. The UK and Europe must cast the USA aside. They are toxic. We can get by without them. It's time. Repost if you agree.

Calling all sensible & friendly Americans… …to ensure that America’s own internal dynamics haul this prat away from trying to bully us. Do that - and you’ll be doing us a real solid. ✊ 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Our latest Double Down News video, explaining just how billionaire power now operates and what it's doing to us. And why we need to create billionaire-free societies.

Yet again, if these were climate protestors, there'd have been multiple arrests, with some facing years in jail for "public nuisance". But farmers can block the road and drown out the Prime Minister and the police won't touch them. The real #TwoTierPolicing

Shockingly, the UK government is refusing to stand side by side with our Commonwealth friends in Canada. Most voters agree with Trudeau - it's far better to align with the EU than narcissist Donald Trump
