An absolutely fascinating discovery of an Iron Age bog body in County Derry. The analysis revealed it was the body of a young woman, who had suffered a 'highly violent death'. (the report contains images of the human remains) www.thejournal.ie/ancient-rema...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Of course Trump will screw over Ukraine. Of course he’ll sell out Ukraine. Trump is working for & negotiating on behalf of Putin. That’s always been the case. It’s up to the rest of the free world to tell Trump & Putin to go fuck themselves. It’s up to the rest of the free world to defend Ukraine.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

The average age of professional politicians in the US is 65. One would hope, then, that some of them would remember the world events of their youth: the seizure of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge, Pinochet’s coup in Chile, the National Reorganisation Process in Argentina...

What a surprise!

Brilliant piece by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social on the false claims now being told about undocumented migrants and what lies behind them bylinetimes.com/2025/01/30/h...

Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde Hero.

A fair question.

This is very funny

Some people laugh at the ostentation of lighting up your house at Christmas. Don't. This family in Minehead for example do so every year - and this house not only delights the children it raises thousands for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. It's wonderful.

Another Brexit bonus: UK tap water safety at risk after testing labs shut down. And I thought that cryptosporidium was a type of internet currency. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Wonder if it's time to air our song, Rust Belt Blues, as a reminder of the last time the US crowned the orange clown. youtu.be/i1OxTpw5FTU

Exciting PhD opportunity in my group, a prestigious CASE Yorkshire Bioscience DTP studentship. We are looking for candidates with the passion to work on a project that aims to transform the lives of cancer patients worldwide! The project is in collaboration with @tsakiridis.bsky.social

Why did Labour MP Anna Dixon receive £2000 for her General Election campaign from Massoud Fouladi, the co-founder & medical director of Circle? Circle is a large private healthcare company. Of note, Circle took over an NHS hospital in 2012 & then abandoned the contract after significant failings🚨

A poll like this suggests that Farage and his minions have a low electoral ceiling. The problem is that, with our electoral system, you can become the Opposition with 24% of the vote and you can form a government with 30%.

The Brexit Curse British food exports to EU ‘have fallen £3bn a year since Brexit’. Border checks, lower standards on pesticides, veterinary drugs, animal welfare make UK exports harder. Brexit costing UK economy about £100bn a year. Rejoin EU. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Food Banks do indeed seem to have been entirely normalised. They are not normal. A Labour government should at least be having the aspiration to send them back to pre-Tory levels. researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CB...

Your Drs are being stolen from you. Across the NHS, a role taught 2 years of "PA studies” is substituting for Drs trained for 10 to 15 years. This is about cutting training and safety. It is not about care.

Billionaires are using all of their resources to turn underpaid workers against each other, so that you never focus on them, the billionaires.

Love thy neighbor = Christian Deport thy neighbor = Christian Nationalist End of TED talk.

This woman knows what she's talking about, get her elected.

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.

If you oppose NHS privatisation, please could you repost this and follow me? I need to know who to follow next (it’ll be you!) 🌟🌟🌟

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/

2 hours on Blue Sky and I'm getting direct messages from General Richard D Clarke. Quick Google and I find that it's a scam to get money from women. Nowhere is safe 😭

At the risk of getting boring, here's my second Bluesky tweet (?!). Another new song from Looking for Rita (ie @suekilcoyne and me) about the building of the Ribblehead Viaduct. youtu.be/9ndrdl0qP1g
