Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

Having spent 40 years to achieve a semblance of equality for women, minority ethnics, trans and gays, why do we now need to argue for it? In that time, hasn't everyone got at least a mate or relative who has gained from that? Eg women are half the population!

#BorisJohnson met Alexander #Lebedev in 2018 at a party he'd escaped security detail to attend. Now there is talk of returning as Tory leader.... This, now than before, seems pertinent. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's podcast Sergei + Westminster Spy Ring is out now.

“It’s extremely odd to lecture Europe on the subject of free speech & democracy at the same time as they’re cuddling Mr Putin. In Mr Putin’s Russia, people who disagree with him disappear or die or flee the country, or, at a statistically unlikely level, fall out of high windows somewhere in Moscow”

Take the ads off The Plain! The most dangerous roundabout in Oxford is made more dangerous by distracting adverts. Yet @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social is applying to itself to keep them in place. I've put together a quick website with a link to object to the planning application. Please share!

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but just in case it’s you, you matter. Whoever you are and whatever you are. Unless you’re a Nazi. Or a TERF. Or a cunt. But everyone else, you matter. And don’t forget that. 🖖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

He boasts about being a sexual predator, he's been accused by 25 women of rape, harassment or assault, a jury found he "forcibly and non consensually penetrated Carroll's vagina with his fingers," he supports banning abortion. But he hates trans people and so the Times calls him "a feminist hero."
