Best of luck to @libdemshk.bsky.social candidates across England in today's Local Elections, especially in #Lincoln! And, like so many in Lincolnshire, I'm hoping Andrea Jenkyns doesn't win the Greater #Lincolnshire Mayoral Election. She'd achieve little for our brilliant county.

I'm glad that prescription prices won't be going up this year - they are high enough as it is in England. If only we could afford to make prescriptions free for everyone.

The settler originally from Texas is an horrendous human being, discriminating against and using dehumanising language against Palestinians so fervently and using his religion to justify using that language. #TheSettlers #LouisTheroux

Can't believe I just heard a gun carrying Israeli ultra-religious nationalist in the Louis Theroux documentary #TheSettlers saying that he doesn't even recognise "Palestinian" as a word. Absolutely shocking. Vile.

Watching the Louis Theroux documentary #TheSettlers exposing the more extremist ultra-nationalist religious element of the Israeli settler population living in the occupied West Bank. Eye-opening is an understatement.

MAGA cultist chose to challenge Andrew Yang on basic maths. Dumb move. Very dumb move.

The cousin of the Northern Cardinal, the Pyrrhuloxia is a bird of the desert southwest. This is a female that I saw in Arizona a few years ago. #birds #nature 🌿

Good morning Bluesky !

£85.9bn wealth transfer to the rich. Since 2022 UK govt has sold gilts/bonds acquired with QE at a loss. It is also paying interest to banks on deposits they hold with the Bank of England to facilitate interbank transactions. Unnecessary. £85.9bn enriched the rich, inflicted harms on others.

My idea of a heavenly afternoon activity....

It's quite fun winding up the MAGA cult on X. They just can't accept their Dear Leader can't make a mistake. The contortions over the tariffs debacle are ridiculous. Sad.

Yes 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏

In May's Local Elections, Labour are defending just 350 or so seats, compared to the Tories' 1400. Starmer could lose 100 but Badenough faces SEVEN TIMES as many. The winners are likely to be the Lib Dems & the Greens. Voters switching to Deform to teach Labour a lesson are repeating Brexit.

Wish the 100s of working class students from Teesside who I taught over the years had as much confidence in what they know as Kemi Badenoch has in what she doesn't.

BREAKING: This is the crowd to see AOC in Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

"Democrats are holding their own packed events in Republican districts. ... Today, 11,000 people turned out to hear Sanders and AOC in Republican-led Greeley, Colorado. Another 34,000 turned out in Denver." @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I walked by a Tesla today and this is what was written on the window

Diversity, equity and inclusion- yes please

Huh

AOC = Anti Oligarchs Club

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

At this rate AOC could be running for POTUS in 2028....

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

I think this was from Chapter 4 of Mein Kampf.

We have a president who brags about sending people to prisons that will treat them inhumanely. Such depravity.

I’m tellin ya. It’s AOC. 34,000 people today in Denver.

Quelle surprise...

It's simple. If you want to reduce small boat crossings, you need safe routes for asylum seekers, like we have for Ukrainians. @pimlicat.bsky.social on Politics Live.

President of Finland Alexander Stubb at a joint press-conference with President Zelenskyy: I think the basis of statehood usually rests on three pillars: independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. And Finland in 1944 with the peace of Stalin lost two of those pillars.

Yes President Zelenskyy 👏👏👏 Trump was a fool to believe Putin. An absolute fool.

⚡️ I will not discuss with the Russians what our army should be like, — Zelensky ❗️“It looks very strange: if you don’t want to continue fighting against us, then why are you doing everything to weaken our army?” — Zelensky on the demand of Putin to stop foreign aid to Ukraine.

Liz Kendall and her husband reportedly earn a combined £750,000 a year Today Liz Kendall announced that a million of the poorest in our society will lose £4,000 a year Make of that what you will

MAGA clapping about JFK files that were already released by Biden.

Russia ended the ceasefire in Ukraine it negotiated with Trump minutes after agreeing to it. Trump is a failure and clown. Putin has now attacked a hospital in Sumy, and the cities of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Cherkasy regions.

You know one way we could help increase economic prosperity in the UK.... REJOINING THE EU SINGLE MARKET. #RejoinEU
