Thankfully we don't have the same proliferation in UK of firearms (or at least not semi-automatics) as in the US. Despite this we need to continue to guard against anyone who may want to copy school shootings. (Or indeed any shootings of course.) www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I would have to be paid to have my photo taken with this charlatan - and it would take a lot more than £121. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There are many aspects to comms that the NHS must improve. There is admin (eg managing appts) discussed in this article. There is also the comms with family about the care of loved ones. There is also the need to show patients/family are truly being listening to www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Do you get annoyed like me by certain phrases in work/official letters/emails? E.g. I hate “thank you for your patience”. For interest I want to collate a list of these. Pls reply with your hates - and your country (& 10yr age band) as it may vary by culture. “Thank you for your assistance”

Self-Healing road surfaces. Readers of @jasperfforde.bsky.social Shades of Grey will have seen this coming! #RedSideStory www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Blues making Gardner-Hickman permanent. Good news (and well deserved) in itself, but also frees up capacity for another last-minute loan signing. #BCFC #KRO www.bcfc.com/pages/en/med...

Sad to hear of the passing of Marianne Faithfull. RIP. BBC News - Singer Marianne Faithfull dies at 78 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families. She never once raised the issue of grooming gangs or met any survivors. But now she implies that Labour MPs are complicit, refuses to defend Jess Phillips and hopes to wreck the child safety bill. All to please Musk. Utterly… unforgivably detestable.

Credit to Stockport, no other team has outplayed us like that. Not sure I’ve seen us look so desperate in defence either. Still, a point away from home against a good team. #KRO #BCFC

Is it just me, or are we being dominated in this second half so far? #BCFC #KRO

Not sure where these Civil Service cuts are going to be made. IMO HMRC and DWP are already inefficient. The immigration service is clearly struggling as is the justice system. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In real life we like to mix and talk with people who have similar experiences, common interests and shared values. There’s no reason why it should differ on social media. If other people want to call that an echo chamber then that is their problem.

The people I would like to see here who left the bird place because of First Lady Elmo Musk Lemn Sissay Bette Midler Stephen King Pink Patricia Arquette Stephen Fry Jack White Whoopi Jameela Jamil #bye #bluesky
