Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refuses to take a question from a British journalist saying, “Ok we don't give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country” I guess Keir Starmer hasn't told her about the special relationship 🤷‍♂️

The UK’s continued military cooperation with Israel is truly unforgivable.

This thread is the most heartwarming thing I've seen in ages. Properly good internetting!! 😂

And again @susiedent.com nails it. A bully at work in the White House. Appalling.

In relation to that 'agreement' with Ukraine that Trump is now boasting about, there's not enough publicity given to Zelensky's understanding of what happened. *He* describes it as more of an initial framework. Trump needs to be publicly challenged on his repeated lies: www.bbc.com/news/live/cv...

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

@michaelt1979.bsky.social now then, sir. In 2019, you used the other place to ask, "Has anybody already built up a small repertoire of PowerPoint with key music pieces and summaries for use coming into assemblies?" If you remember, that inspired me to create some PowerPoints.

And surely, the fact that he had just been re-elected, was a pressing reason *to* sentence him to prison. It certainly was not a reason to protect him from prison. This crime demonstrated his unfitness for office... 1/2

Could you repost this for me good people? I'm hoping to reach as many folks as possible.

BREAKING: Ireland officially joins South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

This is Gracie. She went for the most magical car ride last night. The whole world twinkled like it was excited to see her. 13/10

Absolutely true story...

Such an incredible woman

Tribunal orders release of the confidential citations Boris Johnson supplied to justify giving peerages to Charlotte Owen & Ross Kempsell, following my 18-month FOI battle with House of Lords Appointments Commission.

It's nearly time to reveal my Quote Of The Year 🥳 In preparation, here's last year's one: a corker, from The Guardian 🤣

This is absolutely shocking. It just can’t go on

If I was picking person of the year, without a shadow of a doubt, it would be Gisele Pelicot. She has and will change things around the world.

Hello @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social I share @docrussjackson.bsky.social’s concerns on #BBCQT- uneven representation, which continues post GE. EG far more air time given to Reform than to Greens. Any chance of a panel discussion about this? @yorksbylines.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/an-...

Ah... The sunlit, 'tastes a bit funny, doesn't it', uplands, once again... "‘Brexit problem’: UK tap water safety at risk after testing labs shut down. Exclusive: EU countries will share laboratory capacity but UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

With Farage back on Question Time last night... ...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP. And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

In case you needed reminding, what's happening in Gaza is genocide, no 'ifs', no 'buts'. It's genocide and we need to keep saying that. www.amnesty.ie/israel-commi...

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

well well well...... exceptional has taken on a whole new meaning!! And could I suggest the tiny correction of inserting the word 'Consort'? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
