Great to have another chance to repost this from 9months ago. Still grifting, still claiming he's the victim and all the while using, not working for his constituents

On the face of it, classic populist - back me or sack me. But if he won back his seat in Clacton, he returns to Parliament, the investigation continues, he could still face a 10 day ban = petition for by-election. He's pre-empting a 10 day ban, banking on Clacton support as a warning to Parliament

Show me another Mayor who’s spent more than a decade fronting their city’s pride parade 👏 🙏 Allyship in action ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @london.gov.uk @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social Also shoutout to @prideride.co.uk for this opportunity to march today!

Following in the footsteps of France and Switzerland's Government who banned Palantir from Government contracts, Spain has now banned Palantir from signing ANY contracts in Spain. Lets get Palantir OUT.

The pride of our nation

Govt cuts to local authorities have caused so much damage. If Burnham believes so strongly in the power of local devolution he must restore workable budgets to LAs. There's only so much the Mayor of any city can do if Borough councils are so short of cash they reverse everything s(he) does

How eagerly ye follow my disgraces, As if it fed ye! and how sleek and wanton Ye appear in every thing may bring my ruin! Follow your envious courses, men of malice; No doubt, in time will find their fit rewards.

Absolutely superb - how did he not recognise you??! @countbinface.bsky.social

UK gov take note: instead of allowing US tech giants to take over our public services and hold us over a barrel, here's an idea that could boost our own tech industry

FUCK #Palantir! bsky.app/profile/paul...

This has got to stop. The amounts are obscene. It's clearly buying influence, not solving the country's problems. No party should be able (or need) £millions to campaign. We should never spend more on campaigns than on charities or essential services. Especially not ££s from those who avoid tax.

The hypocrisy The utter shamelessness

Listen to the people who loved their boy and not the people who want to use it to stir hate.

Five stag beetles in my garden over the course of 4 days! Two females, two males and a lesser stag. Think I've only ever seen one or two a year. Reported to www.gigl.org.uk/staggering-g... 🌍🌱🧪🪲

This time the headline debunked by @monkemma.bsky.social is so untrue, it shows they either wilfully lie about report findings - or can't do maths. 🤦‍♀️

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.

This is just lovely

Kruger's reponse misses the point - as many do about most sexist/racism. It doesn't matter where or when he said it or that he wasn't a candidate yet. This is how he thinks. This is how he views women.

"A recent Unrwa dispatch said 111 Palestinians, including at least 18 children and seven women, were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in April alone, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths since the war began to 72,619."

So easy to do

@brianbilston.bsky.social is a brilliant poet and I can't think of anyone better to pay tribute to a brilliant naturalist like David Attenborough on his 100th birthday

It's so brazen and no one calls them out

The idea that a huge £ gift given to a politician doesn't leave them politically indebted in some way is for the birds. It was a bribe, pure and simple. He just hadn't said the favour he'd like in return - yet.

😧 Hungarian public opinion is consumed by last night’s interview with this oligarch, who broke down in tears multiple times. We watched in disbelief as one of the richest men in the country, collapsing on live TV, tried to defend the indefensible… 3/1

Yet again

It is a good thing there is nothing else important going on the world. What we really need is political instability and enforced crises, cause by pearl-clutching over who knew what when at a time when we are a isolated, economically suffering former world power facing a crises easily as big as WW3.

This is serious stuff, I hadn't realised just how it could affect us all.

Honestly just ban social media until the companies can show they’ve got a grip on this. I’m increasingly not sure democracy can survive the deepfake era.

This wasn't accidental or an oversight, it's deliberate tax avoidance, fraud in other words. The double standards are just screaming out

Hey, @georgetakei.bsky.social

Really hope Vance turns up to campaign for Reform

I've had the loveliest day in the sun tiring out my 2 yr old granddaughter. Tired us out! Get home, read headlines, so gloomy. It's relentless. Now watching 'The Assembly' for some joy, there are still good people in the world. www.itv.com/watch/the-as...

@munirawilson.bsky.social please please can you raise this with government? I'm a constituent of yours. This is disgusting and criminal, appalling to see them celebrate introduction of the death penalty only for Palestinians like this with minimal chance to defend themselves.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Also, the speed with which DV made public statements about their concerns. I'm pretty sure there would at least be a best practice protocol for raising them - and it wouldn't involve going to political parties or the media first? ..

And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.
