Absobloodylutely! 💯

Thank you @alisonterry.bsky.social - a powerful and inclusive chair. Your endorsement means a lot! #sussexmayor

Proud to call this exceptional lady a friend. Good luck Cat. I’m right behind you! 😍

"All of his supporters have suddenly turned into 𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴." Wes Streeting hits back at Farage's claim that Starmer calling his policy 'racist' incites violence against Reform MPs. @jonsopel1.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/wes-...

Come on @pippacrerar.bsky.social and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social !

The 5,600 hectare Griffin Forestry Estate in Perthshire has been sold to Gresham House FF VI LLP for £145 million. With mature forestry and 68 wind turbines, it is probably the most expensive rural estate to have been sold in modern times. andywightman.scot/2025/08/grif...

Absolute nuts that measles is not a big part of the UK Science curriculum. Edexcel GCSE syllabus currently merits only a tiny ref ‘Explain the body’s response to immunisation using an inactive form of a pathogen’ 🤷🏼‍♀️ Surely looking at the history and impact of vaccination is crucial.

Chair of South-Derbyshire ReformUK quits. Fears merging of Reform + Tory parties.

Just when we think that things cannot get much worse you come across stories like this secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

Yep - as promised. @bylinetimes.bsky.social never disappoints 👍🏻👏🏻

This has all the hallmarks of a big story. Waiting for it to unfold in anticipation 😁

One of the less-noticed but more entertaining political subplots of this parliament is Labour MP Polly Billington writing repeatedly to Claire Coutinho to ask her why she is condemning green policies that she introduced herself while in government.

Super interesting

Very conflicted about county election delays. I’m very keen to put our failing Tory councillors in West Sussex in front of the electors to get them removed. But spending so much public money on councillors for a year seems crazy in the midst of a cost of living crisis 🤷🏼‍♀️ #westsussex #elections

My unpopular opinion is that the government is doing a lot. Most of it is good, some of it is very good, and some of it is not good at all. It has a narrative and a sense of moral purpose - to defeat populism through competence and service. It has an ideology, which is left technocrat.

@sussexbylines.bsky.social will be launching a series of articles in the New Year on the #housingshortage and the government's plans to open up #planningregulations. Councillor/housing adviser/campaigner/architect? If you would like to contribute a piece we'd love to hear from you.

Proud to support these legends 🥰

Lucky to be with these wonderful ladies @clarewalsh.bsky.social @catarnold.bsky.social @jayvictoria8.bsky.social @empower-labour.bsky.social

This is why I left X for @bsky.app - posts like this are good for the soul 🧘🏼

We'll be bringing you live updates through Starmer's speech. Give us a follow to stay posted on the latest announcements... 🧵

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is my absolute hero! 🥰

Welcome to Bluesky - great to have you Lovely Labour Lady Legends! 🤩

Don't miss out on this great @mathsinspiration.bsky.social event: Maths Inspiration Christmas Quiz with @sophiemacmaths and @SparksMaths 18th December 2pm - or get a recording after the event mathsinspiration.com/xmas-quiz-2024

Farage walks out of Sky interview because, apparently, having 1m TikTok followers means not having to answer as party leader, about your MP's failure to disclose being jailed for violent assault. But we should definitely trust Nige's vetting going forward. Unless he gets 2m TikTok followers. ~AA

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration. And he does so completely unchallenged. Enough now. ~AA A MEGA-THREAD 🧵1/

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

Agree. Was shocked by how many abandoned Lime bikes we saw littering footpaths on a trip to London at the weekend

Good morning! If you've found my 'UK news and politics' starter pack useful to get you up and running on @bsky.app, please spread the word to new users by giving this a repost. Cheers! go.bsky.app/VNsC9bL

That aside, there surely should be some verification of the petition calling for a general election. 1.7m signatures in 48 hours for a grassroots campaign seems implausible...

Seems the terrified silent majority don't have the numbers for the petition so they utilise a platform that allows manipulation and misinformation to promote a cause

I would be very interested to hear from people who have been injured riding Lime bikes in London. I have a theory, based on personal knowledge of at least three accidents in a short period, that people are being injured disproportionately often and disproportionately badly on them. Please Repost.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Hearing rumours of a merger between X and Truth Social, but hard to imagine what on earth they might have in common 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes please 🙏 This is the only way to ensure long term viability and accountability of a platform we are all loving. We know what happens when funding is through advertising and everything is algorithms and click bait. Thoughts? @pimlicat.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com or @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Nigel Farage’s latest wheeze (literally) is to try to replace the World Health Organisation with his own version promoting vapes and lobbying literally against world health 🤷🏼‍♀️ Luckily the @goodlawproject.bsky.social is on his case. Farage’s funder is called Roach. Couldn’t make it up! 🤣

Really proud of @cosettecrisan.bsky.social for getting this pilot undergrad route in to secondary mathematics teaching off the ground @ioe.bsky.social Learn how your school can benefit from employing a maths apprentice at these webinars: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ucl-teache...

Mathematicians assemble! 😍

Sad news today 😔 a political giant who lived and breathed Labour values of fairness and social justice ⚖️

Last month, NFU president Tom Bradshaw revealed it was their lobbying that blocked Labour’s right to roam plans. This denies millions access to nature while empowering antisocial landowners. NFU, we’re calling you out—let’s debate access reform openly. It’s time for change. #RightToRoam
