Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

After the Oval Office disaster, let’s remember : Europe is wealthy, Europe is strong, If it wants to, Europe can deal with this. Demand EU leaders take action! How? 👇

Greed over planet , every time . Help me force a Parliamentary debate in the UK on banning fossil fuel ads . Billions of $$$ are spent currently influencing politicians , decision makers and the public , allowing these companies to continue in their destruction .

This made me laugh 😂🤣😂

21 February 1934 | Dutch Jewish girl, Elisabeth Rimini, was born in Amsterdam. She was deported from Amsterdam to #Theresienstadt ghetto in April 1943 and on 23 October 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz with her younger sister Sophia. They were both murdered in a gas chamber.

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

The Gaza Government Media Office urges aid groups to send tents as thousands of displaced Palestinians sleep outdoors in freezing temperatures, as Israel blocks aid

"Just one more thing. You say you're trying to save the government billions, yet you're taking $30B to blow up rockets indiscriminately. You have this crazy scheme where you pretend we're going to colonize Mars. To be perfectly frank with you, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're on drugs."

Sound on.

Indeed it is!

Will this get the same media coverage as inheritance tax changes? The government paid out £343m last week to boost the rural economy and improve food security. 31,000 farmers benefited. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Will this get the same media coverage as IHT changes? The government paid £343m last week to boost the rural economy and improve food security. 31,000 farmers benefited. Next year, changes will be brought in which help farmers even more and other plans will support farming and rural communities.

27 November 1929 | A Czech Jewish girl, Hana Neuschulová, was born in Ústí nad Labem. She was deported to Auschwitz from Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 September 1943. She did not survive.

Jimmy Kimmel just DESTROYED Donald Trump’s entire administration. 🤣

The wonderful, irrepressible, unstoppable Green Party Baroness Jenny Jones @greenjennyjones.bsky.social is now on Bluesky! - do give her a follow!

Excellent thread on one of those "poor farmers" affected by the inheritance tax thing.... .... who also used to moonlight as the head of the stock exchange

There can only be one me. Help me let @bsky.app be aware that I’m the real me. Many thanks, Mar🐫 🙏 ♥️ 👍

Uk right now!

I don't care, do you?

Not a day goes by without this being relevant. Political journalist suddenly remembers how to do political journalism youtu.be/Bg5OFlsK3ns?...

Man who told The Times in 2021 that he’d only bought his £4.25m farm to avoid paying inheritance tax to lead protest against inheritance tax 😂🤣😂 www.thesun.co.uk/news/3179317...

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion. The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ. Exempt from all.

Sixteen months after he was cleared of a 2003 rape for which he spent 17 years in jail Andrew Malkinson still hasn't not been compensated bit.ly/3Obaz1D

Bluesky seems to be a much nicer place to be. I’ve therefore decided to post the odd ‘classic from the CWS archive’ from time to time. As kind of sorbets between the main courses of hideousness. This one’s from December 2017 x

🔴Revealed: Trump Campaigns Received $45m from Tufton Street Donors A transatlantic “web of dark money” ties UK think tank donors to Donald Trump and US Republicans bylinetimes.com/2024/11/04/r...

Sorry. But this right wing media howling about landowners and employers having to pay a bit more tax is tiresome. Where was your analysis and anguish over the impact of Brexit on… trade farming travel fishing businesses education the arts science healthcare the costs and losses for *all* of us…?

Happy to summarize this for everyone: Donald Trump and his agents are going to kill poor people to slide a lot more money into the pockets of billionaires. They will do it proudly, with eyes wide open, and without any shame whatsoever, because fundamentally they hate the poor and idolize the rich.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... This is so good 😂😳

19 November 1905 | A Slovenian, Ignac Stremecki, was born. A farmer. In Auschwitz from 10 August 1942. No. 57869 He perished in the camp on 9 September 1942.

If only our media reacted with the same outrage to the imprisonment in Britain of peaceful protesters against the climate crisis as it does to the imprisonment of democracy protestors in Hong Kong. But instead this po-faced exceptionalism - that we are a country incapable of wrong.

Just a reminder of what trade deals “with the rest of the world” have done for us compared with what we have lost and continue to lose… (Private Eye)
