Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress. He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Excellent summary of the problems with AI. Kurzgesagt is a really interesting educational resource and well worth looking at for kids and adults alike. youtu.be/_zfN9wnPvU0

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Post a mage!

TONIGHT! Come along if you’re within reach of Sheffield and/or on a mercy dash from the south to get some Hendo’s. This is going to be fab. I’m (a) super excited; (b) on my way! musicintheround.co.uk/events/chris...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet. I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Videos shared online are making false claims about the government launching “one of the harshest crackdowns UK drivers have ever seen” this month. The government hasn’t announced the changes described in the videos, and they appear to use fake audio of the Prime Minister.

But they're the ones protecting women right?

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I sort of feel like “no shit, Sherlock” doesn’t quite cover it. Of course this is what’s happening!

forgot I made this

I do not want that stupid app. It’s spyware-bloated, full of crap. I want appliances that work, without tattling to some techbro jerk. I’m sick of “AI” garbage-spew, Sick of silo’d platforms too. To analog I shall return, and wait for all this mess to burn.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Love this!

History repeats. That’s why in Europe we have the ECHR. 🇪🇺

Wisptober Day 3 - Fence "The traveller Startled! Between one moment and the next, a horned figure appeared crouching on the old fence post..." I am sure all they will do is ask the traveller a riddle.;) #wisptober #wisptober2025 #demon #mixedmedia #halloween #spooky #illustration

Sadly I suspect this attack shows us why there has been such circumspect condemnation of Israel in the UK from many quarters - too many conflate Israel with all Jews & this is the result. Israel does not represent all Jews. Hamas does not represent all Muslims. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Question: If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within, what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

I consulted an oracle and she said let me consult an oracle so I asked why I needed an intermediary and she said hold on let me ask my oracle and I asked her why do I need you when I can directly ask an oracle my questions and she said she needs the money. #blueskyrelay #oracle

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

These protests worry me. Having read this gov doc about PA’s activities they don’t sound like peaceful protests to me. I have this sinking feeling that good people are being manipulated by bad actors to impact our democracy. hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025...

Let’s hope this is just the first of such cases and that it doesn’t get overturned.

The NHS is routinely described as 'unsustainable'. But that adjective never gets applied to arms spending, bank bail-outs or tax dodging by the rich.

Neoliberalism I wish I were thousands of falling leaves. Giving myself back to the earth. No longer a consumer. I am soil. Filled with nutrients. Put to good use. @happimess73.bsky.social

In partnership with Shout Out UK and UK Youth, we’re putting young people in the driver’s seat at this year’s Labour and Conservative Party Conferences—giving them the chance to ask MPs the questions that matter. More info: www.eventbrite.com/cc/soukfull-...

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

I think fundamentally, the ability to care about the rights of a small and vulnerable minority (of whom you might know no members) is an important sign of whether you are committed to human rights out of principle, or out of mere convenience.

Universal Basic Income would do so much for free speech. So long as you fear losing your job due to the threat of falling into poverty as a result, there are plenty of things you would like to say but won't. Remember, UBI is F U money. Everyone should have the power to say that and not go hungry.

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

I’ve been too unwell to work for most of this year due to a breakdown. If you enjoy my photos & have a spare second or two might you be able to RT my workshop in my previous post? It would help so much. Thankyou 🌿

I wish @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & colleagues had show as much respect to people with mental health difficulties.

If you've got a chronic or fluctuating illness and have to bail on things more than most people, it's really difficult to communicate that it's not a lack of effort, nor in any way reflective of how much you care. Sometimes your body or brain simply go up the fuck at inconvenient times.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

This video shows why we’re in such trouble. The populist right are totally misrepresenting our country supported by media. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdg14W15/

People are demanding we show empathy to a person whose whole career was built on spreading hate for anyone who wasn’t a straight white male. 😮‍💨 I’m just gonna leave this here, cos it sums this thing up better than I can right now.
