This!....

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world. 10 mins later a right winger linked to my book. 10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all. But that's how it works.

The world can be a really isolating place, but there is always a reason to keep going. For yesterday's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, Aberdeen @tuc.org.uk laid wreaths to remember workers who have taken their own life. Thanks to a comrade for this photo🤍

If Starmer dropped Mandelson as US Ambassador because of disturbing emails to Epstein Surely Starmer should cancel Trump's state visit because of video evidence of Trump partying with Epstein?

Celtic can stick their Europa league ticket package up their corporate shiter along with their statement.

Looks overwhelming doesn't it? Tens of thousands waving Jack's, all proudly taking their sovereignty back! Only thing is its more AI fakery. That's not The Mall in London, and that's certainly not the Marble Arch! It is Paris and that's the Arc de Triomphe in the background!....

NEWS: I’ve set up an independent anti-racist reporting and monitoring organisation. We’ll document racist attacks, support victims, pressure authorities to act, and amplify the voices of smaller, more isolated Black and Asian communities across Britain.🧵

Brexit, like populism, is vacuous without an enemy to blame, a target to hate, is incapable of accepting responsibility for its failures, nor dealing with the reality of its persistent and enduring deficiencies. 1/3

Imagine the message it would send if Gary Lineker won 'Presenter of the Year' at this year's National Television Awards Standing up for compassion & the right to speak out And, the feathers it would ruffle My lovely followers, you know what to do: nationaltvawards.com/vote 🗓️ Deadline: 12th Sep

As noted elsewhere in this thread, Isaac from Crystal Clean Windows York Limited came over and cleaned the restaurants windows for free and helped remove the graffiti. That's patriotism! Trying to make your community better. Reaching out and helping others.

Who would have guessed that being judged as worse than the Tories would be a fundamental imperative by Labour. Yet here we are!

Manifesto for Scotland! They know nothing what ever about Scotland, and was he not the one who wants all powers back down the road and holyrood closed, anyone who would vote for that snake oil salesman needs there heads examined 😠

She may be a (civic!) nationalist, but she has made this immigrant feel welcome like no other British politician (most of whom are closeted English nationalists) has done, and she went out of her way to demonstrate that during Brexit. I don't think that was just for publicity.

Bylines Network has just got a blue tick! As has Full Fact and Declassified UK. Please make sure you’re following this full set of for-public-good alternative journalism. The MSM is failing us badly (esp on Gaza). So make sure you help build up the grassroots alternatives! 👇👇👇

Just took delivery of this. Had their gin before, which is superb. If the contents are as good as the packaging and glassware, it will exceed expectations. Looking forward to a wee dram this evening....

Things may seem bleak at the moment, but it will pass. This correspondence from 1973 stands testament. Credit to EB White for these words (whomever that may be)....

If your religious beliefs include other people not having the same rights you do, they are not worthy of respect Your religious beliefs are personal, nobody else has to agree with them and adhere to the rules of your religion Get religious fundamentalism out if politics and government

Did you vote for this? Cut in real wage/benefits Queues for NHS appointments Lousy social care Crumbling schools Poor housing Corporate profiteering/abuses Tax abuses by corporations/rich Sewage in rivers Political corruption It happens because Govts indulge corporations and the rich.

Anyone any idea how I get get rid of this repeated message on my lockscreen? Related to SmartThings on Samsung S24....

Experiencing the repeatedly weird sensation of listening to Susanne Sundførs "Music for People in Trouble" and hearing aspects and sounds within her album for the first time. Even though I have played this album numerous times, I hear something new every time. Oh, &BTW, it is one sublime album!

Simply this!....

Why is it that female Tory MP's all have to outdo themselves and their colleagues in being monstrous?....

Truest truism of the century!....

A political cartoon raising the level. Thanks to Ella Barron for this....

Labour is deliberately cutting disability benefits to balance Reeves budget whilst handing £Bn's in tax breaks to the rich. There is an adage that states a government can be judged on how it cares for the most vulnerable. In reality, it must be judged on how it panders to the elite & wealthy!

The upcoming welfare vote transcends its fiscal implications, representing a fundamental ethical stance. This vote serves as a critical indicator of the government's priorities and values. 1/2

Is anyone else having issues watching video clips on here? Either getting a black screen or videos freeze part way through!

You'd think Trumplethinskin would dine out way more on all his "attempted assassinations." His silence on the subject is extremely out of character.

This!....

Meanwhile, in the Scottish Borders!....

It is becoming increasingly obvious that our continued viability as a species is entirely contingent upon the deranged belief in some divinely ordained event, a.k.a. "The Rapture"!

Is it just me, or has Kale taken over on menus and recipes. Just seen a recipe for Caesar Salad with Romaine Lettuce replaced by Kale! Akin to eating seasoned polythene.

And secondary employment, too.

Just had a sudden recollection of Copydex Glue in school. That company must have made a fortune out of kids pouring excess glue onto their hands & rolling it up first ages to make a wee rubber ball!

Travelling back home from Angerland on train. Two London couples are talking a few seats away as we pass Carnwath Golf Club. " "Oh, wow, they have golf courses up here. They actually play golf!" 🤦

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

I am so done with the constant wake up to the inevitable Trump headlines. Every fucking day!

There is a fairly obvious joke here, but it's too easy!.... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Don't know who to credit for this, but it's definitely on point!....

So, Canadian Voters…you doing an all nighter, watching the election results come in? Got snacks? Got 🍻?

Re Trumps impending visit to Balmoral. Got this image in me head of Charlie answering the front door and stating.... Ah, Donald, you'll have had your tea!

Trump has paused most of his tariffs for 90 days. He blinked first when he realised you can't spell tariffs without FFS. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...
