If Brexit hadn't wiped £40 billion off UK tax revenue, maybe the government wouldn't be clawing back taxes from farmers' inheritance... So I just hope everyone protesting against it, also protested with us against Brexit... Especially as 69% of farmers say Brexit has hurt them.

More than 50% of UK farmers voted for Brexit, but last year 83 per cent of farmers polled by Farmers' Weekly said Brexit had been worse than expected; 52 per cent supported a referendum on rejoining the EU; and 70 per cent supported rejoining the single market 🙄 inews.co.uk/opinion/an-i...

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

We’ve launched a new tool tracking the government’s progress on delivering Labour’s manifesto pledges—from dental appointments to defence spending, National Insurance to crime. 🔗 Our blog sets out our initial findings.

We don’t just compare badly to other countries, but to our own history. I read recently: “in 1937 a government investigation revealed a man on unemployment benefit received just two-fifths of the average wage”. “Just” 40%. Today it is 12%. That’s not what progress looks like.

A swathe of UK journalists have signed an open letter explaining their reasons for quitting Twitter, and finding a home on Bluesky. The whole reason I stayed on Twitter for many years was the engagement of journalists and news outlets. It's great to see many of them make their X-it to Bluesky.

God knows who awarded this idiotic Tory fanzine ‘News website of the year’ because this kind of nonsense is nothing close to news. Just more howling classist outrage from a bunch of entitled, clueless halfwits.

I’m not saying the Xodus is unstoppable, but I am saying my mum just forwarded me an email from her local theatre explaining why they’re moving to Bluesky. If you’ve lost South Oxfordshire amateur dramatics, you stand to lose a whole lot more.

Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely. In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.

Since Trump's victory, Twitter users have been leaving that platform in droves. Many of them support our #FBPE movement. To make it easier for them to find other #FBPE users, I am posting 2 follow-back lists a day from now on. I mainly post lists of people who have recently migrated to BlueSky.
