spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

UK medicine regulator confirms there is no evidence paracetamol causes autism in children www.gov.uk/government/n...

Sundown over the Boathouse .. 'While all around you goes ...' A bit of warm sanity #Yorkshire

Sadiq's ok too.

Autism and paracetamol. The descent into incoherent anti science in the name of deranged dogma Is Polio lined up for a comeback ?

There is of course no pill for Narcissistic personality disorder...

Is it safe to put news on yet..?

Supported these #Bradford residents against an awful retropective planning application in #Bankfoot #WibseyWard for yet another container storage in residential area . www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2547099... Hopefully lesson will be ; take planning advice @judithcummins.bsky.social

Keir Starmer tells his Cabinet that scenes of police under attack at a march "led by a convicted criminal and egged on by a foreign billionaire calling for violence" sent "a chill through the spines" of British people. Says UK in "the fight of our times" against "toxic division" and "we must win"

Can't come soon enough. 'The Transport & Environment thinktank has urged the government to use the autumn budget to bring in a levy on the largest vehicles, which it said would reflect the damage they caused to the environment and infrastructure.'

One of the best things in the Hillsborough Law Bill is not the duty of candour on public officials, as welcome as that is, but news that bereaved families will have publicly funded legal representation at inquests. Finally an equality of arms that's been lacking for so long

O hfor a world where The man in the high Castle was fiction.....

🔴 NEW - Why you should leave X Here’s the sad truth: Twitter no longer exists. X is something else entirely. It’s a megaphone for extremism, controlled by a deranged oligarch. 📝 latest Substack 👇🏻

Yesterday it was Bolling Hall today it is Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in Bradford. It was built on the former site of Manningham Hall using a gift donated by Samuel Lister. It is named after Edmund Cartwright, a Nottinghamshire born clergyman and inventor remembered for his work

Good (Now get off twitter is my suggestion).

The X complaints system has now proactively (unlawfully) defended each of the Twitter users who used the p-word to racially abuse Labour Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, Tory Shadow Foreign Sec Priti Patel, former Scots First Minister Humza Yousaf, indep MP Adnan Hussain & Zia Yusuf of Reform

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

Serious ethical organisations and people need to be ready to answer why they remain on X . Excuses will be interesting
