Having had this happen on a nr of occasions in my own case a few yrs ago, I fear having to look again. Still, I better follow @the3million ‘s and @InLimboBrexit ‘s advice and hope all of those this may apply to, do the same.

We stood outside parliament with the Lift The Ban coalition, a group of campaigners armed with skills, expertise, and one strong message to the government. Give people seeking asylum the right to work. It’s time to #LiftTheBan.

Just retrieved this painting from my studio to have it live in house for a while. ‘In My Mind’s Eye No. 4’ 50x50cm, acrylic on canvas

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

Surely it's high time for Starmer and Labour to stop playing piggy in the middle between the US and the EU, and condemn what Trump is doing with a loud voice? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

If you support Mexico, like. If you support Canada, RT. Say no to Donald Trump and Elon Musk and watch their empire collapse.

Today's the 5th anniversary of the UK leaving the EU and @ginnyfos.bsky.social urges the Prime Minister to be brave on #Europe - the country desperately needs a #Brexit about turn @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social @bremaininspain.com @ec.europa.eu @stayeuropean.bsky.social

From an American friend I have. "The university her son went to (a specialised deaf department) has already been disbanded and has had to tell their students that they'll no longer be supported. The worst thing though is that her son can no longer apply for his American passport 1/2

One man, who can definitely afford to pay it, owes HMRC £1,000,000,000 Yet the government want you to think it's the poor on benefits who are to blame... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Bravo @elenainlimbo.bsky.social and @perez-paredes.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump. “I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

Seraphus and Settled work closely together and have a lot in common so it's not surprising that both our organisations have come to this decision at about the same time. If you follow Settled please consider following Seraphus to - and vice versa - so we can rebuild our supporters here. Thanks!

📢We’re stepping away from X. The platform hasn’t been a safe space for some time, and recent actions by its owner during the presidential inauguration are the final straw. We look forward to engaging with everyone on this platform moving forward. Read more: www.seraphus.co.uk/knowledge-ce...

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)

@hollyfriesen.bsky.social Lovely to meet you here. 👋🏻👋🏻

In 1775 the USA had a revolution because they didn't want to pay tax on Tea. In 2025 Healthcare is completely unaffordable to 80% and nothing happens.

Here, broken down into a thread, is a copy of my last post on X. 1. This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it.

I keep thinking what a mess we are in here in UK with a Govt that has lost its original aim of protecting everyone (including from the worst of #ClimateChange crises), and then look at the USA and see the path we could take. At the May Council elections, be sure to vote. Don't give up on democracy.

@lindasgoluppi.bsky.social Hello my friend. Good to see you here xx

@davidsandum.bsky.social Hi David good to meet you here.

As an always, Sarah Murphy nails it. #BrexitDisaster

Today MPs backed an EU-UK Youth Mobility Scheme. Thank you so much to the thousands of you who took the time to email your MP. The formal Bill is scheduled to be introduced on 25th July. Highlights below 🧵

After the past five years, any critique whatsoever from the Tory benches about standards in public life and ministerial responsibility simply cannot be taken seriously. #PMQs

Another glimpse of the van Gogh exhibition.

Just pay her and the others.

A deeply personal piece by my wife Ayesha and I about the hell insurance companies have put us through to get the life saving care our daughter needs to live. We're sharing because her story is sadly all too common. I have a platform & I intend to use it: www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-insur...

@maudq.bsky.social hi Maud, 👋🏻👋🏻

Just returned from a wonderful trip to Lille where I visited the immersive van Gogh exhibition. Quite magnificent. @roymotteram.bsky.social

About AI: ‘….the global AI demand may be accountable for 4.2 -- 6.6 billion cubic meters of water withdrawal in 2027, which is more than the total annual water withdrawal of 4 -- 6 Denmark or half of the United Kingdom.’ www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Translation: "Startling result: Majority wants Greenland back in the EU A new study reveals a surprising result. 60 percent of the respondents answered that they would vote yes if a referendum was held to bring Greenland back into the EU."

Well said @stellacreasy 👏 “The decisions that can lead to that positive change – relations with Europe being one – cannot be delayed any longer.” inews.co.uk/opinion/stel...
