To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

How bloody dare Labour strip Charlie Muggins of his OBE!😡 Charlie patriotically supported this great nation by moving to Spain. He has kept the plastics industry alive in the UK. He fought in The Somme with Lee Anderson. He’s our Ron Stewart Our cockney Worzel Gummidge. Hero. 🇬🇧

In two weeks I'm running Brighton Marathon for Pancreatic Cancer UK. My mum got diagnosed 5 years ago just as first lockdown was happening. There's real progress being made on testing and mRNA. I've donated the first £200, any donations help: 2025brightonmarathonweekend.enthuse.com/pf/richard-p...

My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office. The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.

People with breasts: have you scheduled a mammogram lately? You should have one a year. Please consider if it has been a while. The techs are always friendly and professional.

Rang the docs to get some treatment for my Sudoku addiction. The receptionist said they could fit me in between 4 and 6. #LunchPun

OTD in 2014 i denied the masked, armed men in Crimea were Russian soldiers. I lied. But you can believe me over a peace deal now.

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

On January 20 I stopped using X. I should have deactivated the account, but assumed it was safe. Unfortunately it has been hacked by crypto scammers. I'm now shut out of it and out of X, so I can't close it down. I've appealed, but it may take some time. In the meantime, what you're seeing isn't me.

Trying to get my colleague to use Bluesky more bsky.app/profile/pest... Anyone fancy giving her a follow And telling her how lovely it is over here?

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Finally caps on political donations in UK going mainstream Ex Labour home sec David Blunkett has called for caps. I've written for @prospectmagazine.co.uk on it today What do you think? A couple of days left to take our Safeguarding Democracy survey Please share! democracyforsale.co.uk/safeguard

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social One of the benefits of working from home is being able to listen to the radio...

Jacob Rees-Mogg wants to place Nigel Farage in the House of Lords. RT if you want to flush them both down the toilet.

I have just checked with Ed Davey's team and unfortunately this account is NOT real

Italy under Meloni has shifted so far to the right it now borders Turkey

Suella Braverman tells LBC that Italy have "built a wall" on the "land border between Italy and Turkey" and insists that "I've been to see it"

You know what’s a bit weird? When people quote tweet you on here but then they don’t actually say anything- it’s just a retweet with their name above it. Know what I mean?

Due to this idiotic statement, by a person who has proven his inability to distinguish truth from online propaganda, I just donated to Wikipedia. Please do the same.

New ep of #StrongMessageHere is up on @BBCSounds and all podcast platforms. @helenlewis and I take a word or phrase from current politics and look at how it’s being used. This week: ‘Reset not relaunch.’ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
