One of my favourite Spring shrubs - glorious Vibernum opulus ‘Roseum’, also known as snowball bush, bringing joy and fragrance to my front garden. It smells INCREDIBLE!

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

wouldn't this also apply to... code?

This is so worth doing. My MP has confirmed that she will be attending the debate and it was, you know, nice to feel heard.

Emperor Palpatine levels of corruption.

Oh this was SUCH an uplifting listen. Thank you to team @quietriotpod.bsky.social Absolutely loved it. Uplifting in itself to know that listeners are sending so many good news pieces in for inclusion. 🙌🏻 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

Checking back on this 👇 Instead of focusing on lowering prices "on Day One," Trump's asinine tariff policy, erratic behavior, and mass firings of public servants have crushed families and produced uncertainty in the markets, as he destroys at lightning speed the economy Biden rebuilt. #DonTheCon

👏🏻

If #PMQs was any use we would spend every week talking about why Brexit isn't dead and why the richest are allowed to get away with ripping us off. Instead these two most important problems are almost never mentioned, and certainly never discussed.

Another wonderful episode. I am just loving all the new learning and perspectives which this excellent series offers. The depth of analysis and range of contributors makes for such a rich listen. If you have not listened yet, there are 3 in the series so far, and more to come!

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

When your @sturdyalex.bsky.social inspired bulb lasagne is more “pasta bake”. It seems that the squirrels do not respect the concept of layers. 🙄

It’s only embezzlement if it’s from the Embézzle region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling corruption.

We have found the first documented case of an immigrant being imported to the US by politicians and then committing a bunch of heinous sex crimes

Chris Philp: the embodiment of death by a thousand pillocks - a relentless stream of smug nonsense, clueless policies, and desperate Tory defences, all stacked into one insufferable political void. A man who’s confidently wrong, like a malfunctioning chatbot trained on bad takes. #ukpolitics

Pam Bondi saying the days of criminals facing no consequences are over whilst working for a 34 time felon who faced no consequences is a bit on the nose.

My dear friend Sarah, writes so beautifully and this, for any of your Gen X women out there, may well resonate. I loved it. open.substack.com/pub/barkers/...

I’m disabled and I’m despairing of the proposed benefit changes. How can this align with Labour values? Listen to @quietriotpod.bsky.social where @pimlicat.bsky.social articulates the anger, fear and disappointment I’ve been feeling since I’ve heard about it. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

Equilibrium restored.

Well this is just brilliant. Fascinating, informative and thought provoking. So much to absorb that I listened to it twice! Bravo @sturdyalex.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

It’s here 🎧👇

It’s Podyssey Eve! 🙌🏻 @sturdyalex.bsky.social - you will be accompanying me on my morning dog walk! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

This from @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social is excellent - well worth a read/listen.

We have lost the ability as a country to fully understand how deranged everything said in the video below is

holy shit -- Trump was reading from a literal Tesla sales pitch, complete with pricing, during his White House event with Elon Musk. (Andrew Harnik/Getty)

Senator Kelly responds to Elon Musk

Very much looking forward to this.

We can surely rule out stupidity, senility, madness and kompromat - can’t we? But what else explains Trump’s behaviour? My column. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/views/69483/...

The Farage Cycle: 1 Found political party 2 Do well in elections 3 Shoot up in polls 4 Media says you’ll be PM 5 Do celeb media stuff 6 Party falls apart 7 Rinse and repeat

In case anyone is interested in Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com fact-checking #Shitler’s marathon of lies, here’s the link youtu.be/axXXKTxBWRc

Hard to overstate quite how badly this kind of comment goes down with US allies in Europe – whose own troops fought and died in America’s wars, not least those that followed the USA triggering NATO article 5 after 9/11.

Exactly this. I always feel calmer as well as more informed for listening.
