Refugee from the #deadbird, but have missed the people I regularly follow there. With grown ups back in charge in the UK, was hoping to enjoy cat videos... and then the US elections happened. Still a proud EUropean

We’re opening free breakfast clubs in all primary schools to boost parents' work choices and children's life chances. 750 schools are becoming the first to offer the clubs, set to save parents £450 a year. Find out where to find the early adopter schools👇🏻 educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/02/free...

The ever brilliant @jonathanpienews.bsky.social nails it again. 🙌

The absolute state of this from the Observer! It's gossip & speculation that totally ignores the facts that stop their entire argument dead. The piece claims the breakfast club aims were only about raising standards but are now also being positioned as helping reduce poverty. Not true. 1/2

Good luck Derek Wilson on being selected as a candidate for Reform UK. And good luck to #ReformUK’s vetting team on explaining how he made it through the process.

The government's breakfast club scheme is about to get going from April as the 750 schools in the early adopter phase are set to be announced. The schools will cover all 9 English regions, and include schools of different sizes and some which don't currently offer breakfast clubs. 1/2

Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

The government of the USA is openly racketeering. And that is not even the worst thing about them. ‘Owning the libs’ is doing a heck of a lot of heavy lifting right now…

Outstanding ……………🤭

Colchester away day to see the mighty Dons! Then pegging it to Hat Factory in Luton for gig. COYD!

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

And yet, he says many things, but is not in fact in prison 🤡

Fascist open season. They’re no longer hiding it, are they?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Vile, racist posts in plain site on a local newspapers Facebook page. Disgusting. Call it out wherever you see it!

Trump using blackmail and nobody is surprised. Stop criticising Trump and sign $500bn mineral deal, US official advises Kyiv.

The man is nothing but a two-bit thug.

“Say it loud: this is fascism – and we must all resist it” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Two Clacton constituents with housing issues scour the local newspaper for details of their MP's surgeries. No success so far.

You know how the mafia got started? Sicilian farmers were exporting valuable citrus fruits, relying on irrigation systems. The mafia got hold of control of irrigation and threatened to cut off the water if substantial protection money not paid, siphoning off the farmers’ profits. Similar thing here.

CPAC proves too fascist for French far right leader ... who quits in disgust www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is how it’s done.

General Sir Nick Carter, "Donald Trump has been treating his allies like enemies" "Many of us are feeling deeply uncomfortable about some of the rhetoric" "There's only one thing worse than fighting alongside allies, it's fighting without allies.. Trump needs to remember that"

Lesia Vasylenko, "A fair and just peace is the end of Russian aggression" "Pulling out all Russian troops and going back to Ukraine's 1991 borders" Fiona Bruce, "Do you think that's realistic?" Lesia Vasylenko, "It has to be realistic"

She is a traitor who should be banned from attending the Cenotaph… She is nothing more than an anal discharge of humanity, deserving of derision and contempt… She will fit right in at Mar-e-Lago, the Bald Eagle’s Nest…
