I'm gutted 😥 BBC News - Neighbours cancelled again, two years after revival www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Dr Mike Galsworthy, chairman of the European Movement UK, told The Independent: “This is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.””

In case you missed it which is highly likely because it's a positive story (although you wouldn't think so if you read it) BBC News - UK wages continue to outpace inflation www.bbc.com/news/article...

If ever there was a reason to re-nationalise them....... BBC News - Thames Water appeals against limit on bill rises for customers - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not perfect but better. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As a British citizen, I’m begging our media to stop reporting on Donald Fucking Trump like we live there. He’s not our sodding president! It’s like freakin tinnitus.

I ran 3km at the gym this morning for the first time in a few months. The B12 injections are having a +ve effect & not being in constant pain from an impacted wisdom tooth is liberating. If this continues I'll be doing 5km & attempting Park Run again by the time the local course is dry 💪🏃‍♂️

Fantastic, you've got to listen to the clip! www.theguardian.com/money/2025/f...

It’s #LGBTHistoryMonth in the UK so let’s begin by remembering Alan Turing, the father of the AI in the device you’re reading this on, a gay man as well and a prime example of a life cut short by not being allowed to be his whole self.

We in Europe remember that Canadians died to liberate our continent. In the face of Trump's madness, EU stands with Canada now! There is no reason why EU membership should be off the table. 🇪🇺🇨🇦

This is Rita's first owner. She was Olguita Monsanto Queeny, daughter of the founder of the infamous American Monsanto corporation. This was before she married Thomas Berington of Little Malvern Court and long before she owned Rita in 1960.

Zuckerberg's "masculine energy" is being spent licking Trump's loafers

All Zuck’s weird and desperate “masculine energy” BS makes me wonder how his marriage is going.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

"Masculine energy" can be translated to misogynist loser.

Sources and techniques of Science Denial. 🧪

Never has the fake 'patriotism' of the British right-wing tabloid press been more powerfully displayed than this week

This is the first of probably a lot of photos of my Triumph Herald coupé. She's pictured here at the garage where she was probably ordered from in May 1960.

Now that was a surprise to come home to! At least they were easy to chase out & they had given the lawn a good trim. 🐑🐏🤣🐑🐏🤣

“The first 6 months: what has Labour actually done?” Very worthwhile read 👇

Labour has been in power for six months. Here’s everything it’s achieved in that time: (Buckle up…)
