That quote made me laugh and cough tea all over the couch. It is absolutely perfect.

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

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

HUGELY IMPORTANT. “We are in danger when the legal constraints on how the president uses the military, including within the United States, are ignored or brushed aside.” This is a staggeringly important warning bell from a serious and respected person, not prone to hyperbole. It should scare us.

Starmer's visiting Trump this week. There's no sign that he has any comprehension of the new rules by which Trump is playing. Those rules may be vile, but Trump's dictating the terms right now. Starmer has only one way of winning, and that is by condemning him www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

This is so unconscionable. Elon Musk is personally extorting Ukraine to get access to their minerals for his car batteries. Once again, Elon Musk is an existential threat to everyone on this planet. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

It is now estimated that up to £1.2bn of Covid loans were lost to fraud in 2023

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

It is action versus inaction that matters now. Everything else is a sideshow. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... The likes of Tony Blair want to talk down the need for action on climate change when action on climate change has to be the epicentre of politics now. Nothing else matters as much.

What idiot called it a speculum and not a flap jack?

Europe is on the rise. Out of necessity - for our defence, our values, our quality of life, responsibility, humanity and just decency. Putin & Trump are waking a sleeping giant. We didn’t forge a better European way of being after WWII for nothing. We remember. And we’re not going back.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Excellent article and goes some way to explain how we risk being locked in our fear.

Labour’s growth obsession ignores a key truth: we’ve already ‘arrived’ – instead of chasing more, it’s time to share prosperity fairly | Peter Wrigley @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Did you hear about these 20 government actions? No? That’s the problem. The media aren’t telling you what’s happening. @stephenmcnair.bsky.social reports

The government has met a key election pledge to deliver two million extra NHS appointments in England in its first year, the prime minister has said www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Better still , set up a monthly donation - whatever you can afford. 🙂

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT"

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

🔥 Lord Sumption says US is now “very, very” unreliable ally - - and the UK should disentangle from it. Absolutely right.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Canada has never been more united

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years. As an aide-mémoire for next time.

I fucking hate that these clowns think they’re in charge of the world. They’re only in charge if we let them. Stand up Europe. Stand up U.K. Stand up Africa. Stand up Asia. No, we do not reward a man who invaded another country.

"Public sentiment toward Brexit has changed dramatically since the 2016 referendum, when 52% of voters chose to leave the European Union (EU)... One of the key factors driving this shift is not merely people changing their minds but rather a demographic process known as “cohort replacement.”"

Barclays CEO pay up from £4.3m to £10.5m. Real average pay of UK workers unchanged since 2008. Govts tell workers pay rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, exec pay, share buybacks. Their profiteering is our inflation and poverty. It is class war.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Father-of-12 Elon Musk admitted “we all make mistakes” when he was pressed about claims made on X and by the White House about condoms being sent to Gaza. Full story: tinyurl.com/4cc3558d

Now they want to rename Greenland to be “Red, White and Blue Land” and yes this is the dumbest timeline.

IMPORTANT: Finland is building the world’s largest heat pump to warm homes in Helsinki. It would help decarbonize the city’s district heating system by end of 2026. “Helsinki has set the ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2030. Transitioning our heating system is crucial to achieving this.”
