“Interestingly, Sleepy Joe Biden managed to stay awake,” God noted.

Another cracking day at #LongshawEstate @nationaltrust.org.uk @midsandeastnt.bsky.social

Watching America reduced to the needy lapdog of this preening fascist is truly horrific.

Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America

24 April 1894 | A German Jewish woman, Elsa Meyer nee Silberberg, was born in Berlin. On 4 February 1943 she was murdered in a gas chamber in #Auschwitz.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Time to link the energy price cap to the cost of tenet, not gas.

Delighted to have seen this little one while out doing a heritage walk recce at #LongshawEstate @nationaltrust.org.uk @midsandeastnt.bsky.social @peakdistrict.bsky.social Longshaw, Burbage and the Eastern Moors, History walk: Longshaw Through Time www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/peak-d...

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

When Trump said he’d solve the war in Ukraine in 24 hours I guess he meant never

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Purely hypothetical question: shouldn’t the secretary of homeland security be able to secure her own purse?

The rest of the Kennedy family should be speaking out every day, as loud as they can.

This is so true. I remember with some shame the way we treated several “odd” kids at school and the cruel nicknames we gave them. We mustn’t go back there.

Finland just seems to get it right - education, housing. #TaxTheRich #ClassWar

22 April 1902 | A German Jewish woman, Jenny Weiss Levy, was born in Flamersheim. She emigrated to the Netherlands. Deported from #Westerbork to Theresienstadt on 6 September 1944 & deported to #Auschwitz a month later. She was murdered in the gas chamber with her son Stephan.

21 April 1923 | A Czech Jewish woman, Milada Fischlová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from the ghetto in Theresienstadt on 26 January 1943. She did not survive.

“Reasons why the Single Transferable Vote is the proportional voting system we should be working towards.” 👏👏👏

Very interesting interview and well worth listening to.

Fabulous trip to #Southwell today.

Shut down the youth clubs. Sell off the playing fields. Put up "no ball games" signs. Make public places hostile to teenagers. Then: "Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

How very Christian of the "devout" murderous tyrant www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

Trump said he wanted to take away due process for immigrants–something conservative judges think is unconstitutional—and he did. He says he wants to ship American citizens to foreign countries, believe him and do not wait to speak out against his abhorrent actions.

Truth, right here…👇

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Seems that there are lots of Reform voters who support not having workers rights. In fact thinking leaving the ECHR is right for Britain. This 20% are a danger to our country, to each one of us. They need to be obliterated at the ballot box. Don’t be complacent on 1st May

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

This old chestnut again. We need all these great ideas to be properly researched in the way a new drug would be to see whether they really do deliver more good than harm.

How is the Supreme Court anticipating biological sex will be defined? Chromosome, hormones, gonads???

This is so wrong on every level. GPs are specialists and should be able to refer whenever they feel a patient’s needs fall outside their specialty and need the input of another. Any such move should be subject to rigorous research in the same way as a new drug would be.

Anyone else thinking of joining Liz Truss’s new social media platform to post a daily lettuce?

And this is the government which is defunding Harvard for allowing free speech.

“Over ten months since he left office, Sunak is still shaping our democracy by packing even more allies into the Lords. It’s shocking that someone no longer in power can still appoint unelected legislators for life – with no public scrutiny and no say from voters” @electoralreform.bsky.social
