If Biden had had an MRI and couldn’t say what it was for it would have been the lead story on Fox and every RW talk radio show for weeks. But Trump? *crickets*

NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

BBC Under Attack: Pot and Kettle Special The new Private Eye is out now.

AI-powered Nimbyism. FFS, is there anything that cursed technology can't make worse? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

But he did.

Between the Democrats caving yesterday and the BBC’s capitulation, I fear liberal democracy is done. At least in countries with United in their name.

No great sympathy for Davis, who never should have been appointed in the first place, but having to resign over this is utterly ridiculous.

Arrrgggh! So close. #COYS #TOTMUN

Spurs fans booed when Tel replaced Simons. Then Tel scores the equaliser. Maybe, just maybe, Thomas Frank knows what he’s doing? #COYS #TOTMUN

Hands up, I wrote this partly as a wind-up. But, you know, London does need a moderate, positive centre-Right party in its democratic mix. And at the moment the city's Tories are down in the sewer with Musk, Farage and Jenrick: www.onlondon.co.uk/dave-hill-lo.... #london #conservatives

The state of the US summed up in a single image...

The government must remove its accounts from X. It’s colluding with a threat to national security.

Wow. Just wow. Intuit, the makers of TurboTax, gave Trump a $1 million donation and now he's cancelling the publicly-funded free tax-filing alternative. theoverspill.blog/2025/11/06/m...

This would be an excellent policy!

Journalists and politicians need to finally wise up and pay attention. There hasn't been an excuse to remain on X for at least a year, but reporting like this *proves* that the website is a radicalisation engine for the the extreme right. Leave X, do it today. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Once again (sigh), no Labour MP should still be on X. Government departments and councils should delete their accounts and move their social media comms to other platforms.

Van de Ven a shoo-in for the Puskas Award! #TOTCPH #UCL #COYS

Fingers crossed that iPad OS 26.1 fixes the bug that causes the Wi-Fi connection to drop every couple of minutes.

Well…

Genuinely such an interesting long thread on why these suits look crap and yet how a particular type of crap suit has become a cultural signifier for right-wing men.

America is on course to destroy itself through sheer stupidity.

Rather than compete with Eurostar to existing destinations, why not find new routes to open up? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sponsored post on Facebook from my local council… 🤷‍♂️

@epiloqiual.bsky.social I’m sorry I can’t reply to your DM. I don’t have access to that feature as I refuse to provide age verification. Suffice to say, my view of Trump likely aligns with yours.

@vcorenmitchell.bsky.social Is the New York Times reaching out?

I voted for Lucy Powell, so happy she won. Her email to members talks about “seizing back the political megaphone and setting the agenda more strongly, talking about what Labour is doing in government to deliver the change the country expects and needs, and showing whose side we are on.” Good stuff.

There’s a small window of opportunity in the coming months to go further and faster fixing our relationship with our European counterparts that Farage and co broke - so if you recognise that matters too then it’s time to join us in @labour4europe.bsky.social ! www.labourmovementforeurope.uk/join

We're expanding London's Network of Cycleways - making it safer for people to get around by bike. Great to see the new bike lanes under construction along Romford Road. 👏👏 @NewhamLondon

@dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social @originstorypodcast.bsky.social Of interest, in the context of your current series earthlymission.com/map-of-vienn...

This, coupled with recent TfL research that showed 20 mph limits save lives, shows that the case for them is unanswerable. road.cc/content/news...

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral." I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

Every single word of this is a lie. EVERY. SINGLE. WORD.

I’ve been logged out of the NYT Games app and it won’t let me log back in. Anyone else having the same issue?

Extraordinary that the people responding to #NoKings by posting pictures of Trump wearing a crown call themselves Republicans. Someone should buy those guys a dictionary.

God only knows why he took the job in the first place. Always on a hiding to nothing.

Proper regulation of these cowboys can’t come soon enough. E-bike hire schemes 'like wild west' mayor says www.bbc.com/news/article...

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer." JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

For the attention of #Newham (and other London borough) councillors…
