Can we just not have Theme Parks at all? The Warner one is a poor idea. Great for the creative designers and builders. Bad for low paid service staff, transport, energy use, cheap food and overcrowded places. Let's upgrade real historical and cultural places. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Boycott American products. Boycott anyone that advertises on GB News. Simple direct action that hits them where it hurts. Financially. Express your disgust with your wallet.

Great report on the Alliance Defending Freedom interfering in Scotland. If you don’t know them, you know their work, they got Roe v Wade overturned. Also Texan 40 Days for Life and SPUC, uk based with American funding and do school visits in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"Someone needs to ask the awkward question. And in formulating an answer they should start with geography. European and British security are indivisible. They always have been." Fantastic piece by @philipstephens.bsky.social:

America’s growing darkness: a timely warning to the UK “Living amidst chaos in the US, I fear a creeping regime reminiscent of 1930s Germany. Project 2025 echoes a history threatening democracy” eastangliabylines.co.uk/democracy/am...

It's staggering how fast democracy in the USA has imploded. My only hope is that it will act as a warning to all the rest of us and we'll be alert to the damage done by the political con artists in society. It really is time to join @greenparty.org.uk and combat the lies.

Britain must choose between an unstable alliance with Trump or aligning with a resilient, unified Europe eastangliabylines.co.uk/foreign-poli...

This can’t to repeated enough. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @stopfundinghate.bsky.social

Before the Prime Minister heads to Washington he must wake up to the fact that the UK's real allies may now lie elsewhere, argues UK diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall

This is an excellent speech by the new Chancellor of Oxford University, William Hague. Lots of good jokes, but also a staunch defence of what a university should be. We're going to need a lot of that in the years ahead.

This is beyond fucking despicable. Threatening to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, a raped pillaged country (invaded by a dictator that this headcase and his bitch president refuses to condemn) unless they give up their natural resources is the most grim act of coercion I’ve seen.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

👊👊👊

Peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right which must be defended The decision in @libertyhq.bsky.social’s important case will affect all of us & is due any time now. This is why I’m standing shoulder to shoulder with them and I hope you will too youtu.be/qk5aiRXRuU0?...

We all do.

Mm. So Trumps pulling Starlink if Zelensky doesn't sign the mineral agreement... #FuckTrump www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

We need facts as never before. 3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline. Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding. Please read & please never stop standing up for Ukraine. 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Lesia Vasylenko, "A fair and just peace is the end of Russian aggression" "Pulling out all Russian troops and going back to Ukraine's 1991 borders" Fiona Bruce, "Do you think that's realistic?" Lesia Vasylenko, "It has to be realistic"

There is absolutely no way that you can negotiate with people like Putin. He will lie and cheat until Ukraine is under Russian control.

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏 Lines are open from *9am to 4pm* today and the number is 0333 014 8000 Let's keep this going!

#Newsnight’s audience share broke records last night It’s the highest it’s been since the new format was launched in May 2024 Thank you so much for watching - on YouTube, on social media & on TV 🙏

We may have left the EU in 2016 after lies, misinformation, and promises of prosperity that have not materialised Luckily for us, the EU isn't that far away, it's just next door Anyone else want the UK 🇬🇧 to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 ?

You boy, what’s that obscene, obese, orange lard arse done today?

Anybody who has spent 5 mins in Ukraine will not be the least bit surprised by this. apnews.com/article/ukra...

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

Donald Trump‘s favorite newspaper has this front page today 👇

Do we think Liz Truss and Nigel Farage will be interrogated about sharing a stage with this sort of thing when they get back to the UK?

The 'Slapp' against Greenpeace USA - "a form of civil litigation increasingly deployed by corps, politicians & wealthy individuals to deliberately wear down/silence critics, incl. journalists, activists & watchdog groups" (...) could have "a chilling effect on free speech & activism more broadly"

Bravo! Farage called out; that's the way! More should do this 👏👏

This👇🏼👇🏼is now the once powerful United States of America the world admired❗️ Ohh quickly has it fallen into a state of anarchy under a corrupt, deranged, populist President and his Government of freakish clowns❗️😢 The UK and Europe had better head the lesson.. #USAHasFallen

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Morning Bluesky. “Nato believes Russia is also waging another war, an undeclared one, something called 'hybrid warfare' and that the target is Western Europe.” An interesting read.
