"This isn't fucking build a bear" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Someone who gets to put everything on expenses, a gold plated pension and some of the highest payments available should he lose his job says… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NEW A close look at Truss's legal threat to Starmer The former Prime Minister has sent a glorious but seemingly hopeless cease-and-desist letter By me Substack: emptycity.substack.com/p/a-close-lo... Personal blog: davidallengreen.com/2025/01/a-cl...

Not thrilled about the way BlueSky is being turned into a venue for recycling screenshots of the worst posts on X we came here to escape from. (Will try to stop reposting such things myself.)

Absolutely legendary thread.

Today Conservative MPs will seek to block a piece of legislation that will actually help protect vulnerable children from abuse, in order to gain a few retweets from a far-right billionaire.

If Therese Coffey can be made a Dame on the basis of her very mediocre, short-lived support act to the worst Prime Minister in British history, ‘Sir Sadiq Khan’, who has broken several ceilings to win 3 mayoral terms in one of the greatest cities on earth, is only contentious if you’re a racist.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

I’m shocked that Sadiq Khan has been rewarded for failure with a knighthood following London mayoral election victories against Zac (now Lord) Goldsmith and Shaun (now Lord) Bailey.

Calling Sadiq Khan's knighthood a "reward for failure" is a bit rich from the party that knighted Gavin Williamson and gave Chris Grayling a peerage.

When did "right wing thinkers" become so dull and intellectually incurious? Week after week, same columns by the same bores hailed as "brilliant", for pulling a few threads selectively to bolster a creaky thesis that something something WOKE something MULTICULTURALISM something.

Doesn’t matter that ‘any parent would do the same’. Biden isn’t ‘any parent’. Consistency is important. Not everything is partisan.

The one disheartening aspect of Bluesky is the ongoing obsession about what Space Karen is posting on Twitter. See more of his posts on here than I did on Twitter. Stop giving him a platform on Bluesky!

Wonderful creativity from the kids at Christmas! 🎄

The mainstream right wingers on here wanging on about Bluesky being an echo chamber for the left because people disagree with their point of view is pretty much the only downside so far.

‘… but didn’t you keep the beaches open?’ ‘Classic BBC’

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

Swansea Christmas Eve today! #beaujolaisday

Ed Balls

Fancy dress day in Westminster: I’ve never seen so many Tory MPs dressed up as farmers

another hot take on "listen lefties, you need to get out of your filter bubble and debate right wingers on social media to prevail in the marketplace of ideas" in US & UK & elsewhere, the right wings are operating as cults. you can't debate them, they're not fact-based, they don't live in reality

What are the farmers planning?!?!!
