Finally Starmer is ready to offer a reciprocal Youth Mobility Scheme to the EU, addressing labour shortages and opportunities: a win-win for both the UK and the EU. No one born this century voted for #Brexit. eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.

I’m trying to eat healthily but there’s still so much cheese in the fridge. And it’s illegal to throw cheese away. Not sure what to do. I guess I’m going to have to eat the cheese. Yes. I am now actively eating the cheese.

I think it’s very clear now that Trump & Musk want to aggressively divide, dominate and rule the Western world, rather than work with anyone respectfully of sovereignty. From Canada to UK, Germany and Greenland/Denmark, the rest of the West need to pull together to resist.

Not one school shooter has ever been given the death penalty. Not one. U.S. government is seeking the death penalty for Luigi Magione. Proving that one rich CEO is worth so much more in this country than any child. Disgusting.

It's the sixth covid Christmas, and most people are completely oblivious that it's airborne, that repeat infections cause long term health problems, and that it's still killing people.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

Solidarity to everyone feeling overwhelmed by the Gisèle news today, especially those who couldn’t talk about their own experiences, those who didn’t have “evidence”, those who weren’t believed. Your experience is real, it is valid, it is not your fault.
