THIS. No-body should be paid this obscene amount of money. This should not be normal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A fair point well made by David Aaronovitch.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit. Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

What he said. Everything I've been thinking for years. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This reads as a rallying call. And so it should www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh, that's a real shame.

Free Speech Loving Nigel Farage

When all we hear is that the UK is 'full up' and that public services are stretched with too many people using them, surely a decrease in growth of population is not a bad thing, right? And if we need to increase the workforce, hire immigrant labour!🙄 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Hertfordshire's biggest & best LGBTQIA+ celebration - Herts Pride, Sat 30th August. While partying - do remember there are people in countries across the globe who are still unable to live and love openly. The fight is not over for us, until it's over for all of us. @herts-pride.bsky.social

Great long piece on BBC news about the massive increase in the cost of cod and the impact on fish and chip shops. No mention at all of Brexit which has significantly affected £££ For the millionth time: We import ten times as much cod as this country catches. What did they think would happen?

This was a very special event today - focussing on PMDD and the problems the condition can cause for so many women. Thank you to the brilliant team at Tee Pee Productions for highlighting this issue and creating conversations with this brilliant new play 😘

Happy International Beaver Day! 🦫 Beavers are more than just adorable faces; they’re true eco-engineers! In the wild, beavers build dams and lodges and help create wetlands that support hundreds of other species and improve water quality.

A second school-aged child in West Texas has died from a measles-related illness, a hospital spokesman confirmed Sunday, as the outbreak continues to swell.

Fun day out in SE London 😎

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Media obsession with trans issues would have many people think that gender fluidity, questioning and transition is a new thing. Today we celebrate those who fight for equal rights & representation, and will continue to do so for Watford and our neighbours. #transpride #transrightsarehumanrights🏳️‍⚧️

People are taking things into their own hands

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

I just finished listening to this wonderful book. I've been thinking about it ever since because it feels too soon to let it go. It was a funny, warm and honest story, in her own words (and her own voice). If you're after some quality narration, read this. Thank you @driverminnie.bsky.social 😘

Never regretted contributing to these guys and I still do. Bloody brilliant!

www.theguardian.com/business/202... unreal, there should be no more bailouts for Thames Water! Let it go bust, and brought back into public ownership.

Hard-hitting but rightly so as this is a very real issue that today’s society must tackle. But first, we must understand it, and that’s what this ground-breaking piece of drama offers. A superb cast and outstanding directing, it is a must-see for modern times. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

People power in action. Quite right too. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Spring is coming 😎

Oh don't cancel that state visit. Londoners are looking forward to greeting him in an even more emphatic way than last time. #politicslive
