Oops ... 💥 UK tap water is at risk because water companies soon won't have any chemicals to clean it with. 💥 That's because rules brought in by Brexiters mean we can only use such chemicals if they've been tested in the UK. 💥 But unlike in the EU, we don't have any certified labs able to test them!

How do I find all my old Twitter followers & people I followed? Seems to be a bit of a slog building my presence here. Not complaining, I'd just love to know if everyone's moved here? I followed some really nice folks on 🐦 - gradually reconnecting...!

Dear all, Another blast from my past! Delighted to see @cactuswoman.bsky.social is now on here. Another great follow, though as her tag implies, if you are a rabid Tory, you may find her responses a little "spiky"! A lovely soul to boot... You know what to do please peeps

I now watch US politics as if I'm peering into a completely different moral universe. Constantly surprised by what matters and what doesn't. Sexual assault, racism, idiocy and corruption all OK. Drinking on the job apparently isn't.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

I mean this obviously can't stand. You can't have a foreign extremist, who used social media to encourage & facilitate far-right violence, plough huge donations to his favoured British political party. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/is-elo...

On X, the Bylines Network (main account of 10 UK local journalism publications) has only 2.7K followers. On Bluesky, that's already exploded to 56.4K followers! (see @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social)... and of course the engagement is far higher. Bluesky is much better for news and community building.

My FB memory from this day, 2018 - Pre Boris Johnson - Even then we knew the Brexit hit would be around £100 billion a year / around 4-5% of GDP The Brexiters, & much of the media, referred to it as ‘project fear’
