I’m an agnostic, brought up in the Catholic faith. There is so much that I reject about religion but I am sad that the world will lose a pope, who given the restrictions in which he worked, was progressive and will, probably be replaced by an ultra conservative.

“Far from being dismissed as a useful idiot to hostile foreign powers, the British press continues to allow Farage to portray himself as a true British patriot, while he spends as much time as he possibly can outside of this country telling lies about us for money” open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families. She never once raised the issue of grooming gangs or met any survivors. But now she implies that Labour MPs are complicit, refuses to defend Jess Phillips and hopes to wreck the child safety bill. All to please Musk. Utterly… unforgivably detestable.

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

The UK couldn't make a strap small enough for this Just Stop Oil protestors wrist so she had to go back to jail. No really, that is the level of imcompetent uselessness in the UK. It is time to fire all privatisation and take back control from the billionaire thieves.

These right wing shits being awarded peerages aren’t ‘brave’, as Badenoch states. They’re playground bullies who can’t believe their luck. Promoted into power and privilege by a menacingly mad Tory party, when they’d otherwise be grubbing around in obscurity, shunned by anyone decent or thoughtful.

Conservative Baroness Catherine Meyer called Lord Dholakia ‘Lord Poppadom’ twice. She might get a 3 week suspension from the Lords. RP if this racist should be kicked out instantly racists shouldn't be making our laws.

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes. Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

If the farmers break the law tomorrow we better see the same response we see to Just Stop Oil. No two tier justice.

Last week Bluesky “discover” was mainly cats and graphic art drawings. This week it feels like Twitter without the hate - more politics, music, informed contributors. Excellent stuff.
