I love it A humble and traditional Basque dessert: quince, sheep's milk cheese and walnuts. A perfect combination. #foodie #Whatscooking 🍽️ #quince #basquecountry #euskadi

I got hold of some lovely quince... So quince jelly and membrillo #hobbybaker #homemade #homegrown #foodiesky #foodie #Whatscooking 🍽️ #quince

I went rogue, made a Bakewell tart with quince pulp rather than raspberry jam (tradition in this house at least). Served with whipped cream. #hobbybaker #homemade #foodiesky #foodie #Whatscooking 🍽️

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Those who have tasted freedom will never surrender to tyranny, Georgia will oust all the fascists. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

I just learned about the hyrax. An animal that looks like they're just done with everyone's bullshit

He's totally going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell by the way.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

For God’s Sake, Democrats: Don’t Cave! They’re widely, and rightly, perceived as weak. The shutdown fight is their chance to shock us for a change.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

Wednesday evening, all welcome.

Lots of signed ‘Made in Manchester’ paperbacks now available at the brilliant new Waterstones branch in the John Lewis superstore at Cheadle.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

January 6 was basically a training session for upcoming ICE agents.

Wall Street Journal is not the first one to rank him as the worst. #USDemocracy

Real men don’t zip-tie children. the-express.com/news/us-news...

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

The judge is a woman.

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

ICE has been paying private security for 24/7 guards to watch a guy with no record whose leg they fucked up so badly he has been in a hospital for over a month, and we wonder why people were handing Tom Homan bags of cash. Via @kyledcheney.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Batshit.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels. Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism. 1/6

Not “defiance,” necessity. When a president undermines every branch of government, the 25th Amendment isn’t radical, it’s responsible.👇

What is is about recent women Home Secretaries and their fascistic behaviour? Patel, Braverman & Mahmood. Not my style of politics.

He wants a fight more than anything.

Kuenssberg: “Where would the 150,000 people you plan to deport each year actually go?” Badenoch: “I’m tired of irrelevant questions.” The Tories have an idiot in charge, one who doesn’t know NI voted Remain or why deportation deals even matter. #ukpolitics

Its utter crap to compare Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 who has minimal powers to England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 who have 100% powers. Even with one arm behind our backs and a fixed budget Scotland still do better. Imagine what we can do with 100% #independence powers.

🚄 Brexit means Britain’s left off the map and cut off. The EU is launching a Europe-wide high-speed rail network: 49,400 km linking every capital and major city at 250–350 km/h. It’s the future of green travel and connection. And we’re not on it 🙏 to #brexit. www.euronews.com/travel/2025/...

The longer you put off the inevitable, the more cities he’ll invade and the more people he’ll arrest.

As Kemi Badenoch rightly points out, America and Australia are not in the European Convention on Human Rights. I should just add here that El Salvador is not in the African Union, either.

The recent news about ICE shooting a woman is deeply disturbing. Online footage reveals individuals in masks behaving like violent enforcers under the guise of law enforcement. No one should experience this. It's crucial for the judiciary to intervene.

At this point, ICE isn’t enforcing immigration law. It’s acting like the president’s personal secret police, targeting political opponents instead of real criminals.
