#FBPE #REJOIN #SODEM starter pack go.bsky.app/Hc5m9iw

If you’d like to support our tiny non-profit, please order our beautiful Christmas cards! We’re running a huge campaign about the NHS at the moment+our small team is working our socks off! 115 MPs already involved 😮🌟💙. Every order helps power our work! ad 👉 shop.everydoctor.org.uk/collections/...

Started my Substack mostly out of fury if I’m honest, because I’d just finished my book about how politicians were destroying the NHS and still had so much to say. It’s just passed 20,000 subscribers and I can’t really believe that. I’ll keep writing for as long as you’d like to keep reading x

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

In just 3 years the Standing Charge in the UK has tripled. Some people are now paying 50% or more of what they were paying in 2021. Just to have access to electricity. It is a ripoff on everyone and it should be illegal.

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I? Like if you do RP if you really do

Here is a pro tip for us Europeans. Let's stop being "stunned" and "baffled" by anything Trump does. Instead roll out oun own agenda and follow it, independent of what happens in the US

If you are new to @bsky.app this is a great Starter Pack from @stefsimanowitz.bsky.social. Please do share. Lets connect to as many people as possible go.bsky.app/BKXnrpi

no better evidence that we’ve got a couple trillion-dollar squatters holding the internet back than the fact that a company with 20 employees can make a better platform than Meta

"They found the installations helped boost crop yield and conserve water while generating electricity at a lower cost than the national grid." A nice example of synergies to assist various #SDG esp. within #GlobalSouth #renewables #agrivoltaic #water 🔌💡⚡

Here we are! Follow for updates on the campaign. Join European Movement as a member today and help bring the UK closer to the EU: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/membership

Putin announced to the world that he helped Donald, and he expects to be compensated. Big media ignores it. If we want to beat fascism, we must face it and beat the drum. The fact it's being ignored is very troubling.

She's been here a while. But @jessicacheshire.bsky.social looks like she is burning Twitter in style. BTW - Twitter T&C's change tomorrow. DON'T just press accept. That means you goft EVERYTHING to Musk

Now, in the UK, we need to have THE conversation. We all know it in our heart of hearts. The majority now regret the decision, and by a considerable margin. #RejoinEU @Keir_Starmer

Until now, the consensus on X has been that it is a necessary evil for anyone in politics. But I know my presence on X no longer benefits my role or the people I seek to serve. So I have left, for good. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

“Multimillionaire with shiny hat opens foodbanks in country that should technically have no need for it to soothe his conscience on his birthday” seems more accurate to me to be honest.

Let’s make Bluesky a safe heaven for ALL communities. No haters allowed here !

I've had a bunch of folks follow me in the past few days, so WELCOME! I mostly post about cats, academia, and social justice. If you're new to Bluesky, alt text is the norm and it's not just for low-vision folks. Make it easy by going to Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting.

This was a satisfying block

I’ve been called a communist many times in the past few days, because I oppose Trump. But the people levelling this accusation are perfect Soviet commissar or Chinese Red Guard material. All dictatorships are alike, and all are sustained by blindly obedient loyalists.

This sums it up perfectly.

It's amazing seeing a social network exploding into life in real time.

Since Trump's victory, Twitter users have been leaving that platform in droves. Many of them support our #FBPE movement. To make it easier for them to find other #FBPE users, I am posting 2 follow-back lists a day from now on. I mainly post lists of people who have recently migrated to BlueSky.

Donald Trump's America: traitors writing foreign policy, racists writing immigration policy, thieves writing economic policy, polluters writing environmental policy, ignoramuses writing science policy, a hired goon heading the department of justice and One Fucking Moron to Rule Them All

Twitter has lost nearly one-fifth of its daily active user base in the U.S. and a whopping one-third in the UK.  mashable.com/article/elon...

The US, soon to be run by the Taliban of the West

My first Bluesky post - start as I mean to go on. I have a new podcast series out on November 18th about Britain’s housing crisis and much more - how we got into this mess and the human impact. It will be called ‘The Trapped’ and will be available on all podcast platforms. Would love you to listen

Well done, America. Clown country.

I’ve no doubt that one of the main reasons this platform is nicer than Tw*tter is because two billionaires have no presence here: R*wling & M*sk. Fortunately for us, they are magnets for fascists, terfs & bigots, so I hope they stay where they are forever. 🙏🏻

As the US elections have proved, our politics is distorted by billionaire press owners and big tech broligarchy. People live in information bubbles, starved of truth. The resistance begins here 👉http://subscribe.bylinetimes.com

Alright, who made this? 🤣

This is a rather pleasant way to end a long week. youtu.be/0luiQbGzLAc Give @marknorthfield.com a follow for other gems

To quote the great Molly Ivins, that GOP Madison Square Garden rally probably sounded better in the original German.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, the daughter Musk considers 'dead' just for being trans, has a few thoughts about that rally he was at.

If you are American please please read this ❤️

What? Jenrick is talking absolute bollocks in relation to the ECHR? Well colour me surprised and hang me in the Louvre!

Brexiters arent going to like this: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Nyt op ed page getting straight to the heart of the matter on that orange clown.

Islamophobia in action.

Ahoy! The scammers are here! I woke up to this old chestnut, and since Bluesky is pretty new, I thought it might be helpful to show y'all how this one works. A scammer will reach out for work, and it'll be really vague - a piece of his kid, or suddenly four, it doesn't matter, he doesn't care.
