What a clown 🤡

The UK loses £1.5bn a year to STEM skills shortages. Yet women make up just 31% of core STEM students and only a tiny proportion go into academia. Innovation thrives on diversity. Every woman who stays in STEM makes it easier for the next one. 💪 @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Flooded streets, ruined crops, vanishing insurance – this is not tomorrow’s crisis. @rupertread.bsky.social says the UK is already experiencing the early texture of climate breakdown now, and adaptation is no longer optional but essential.

We don't test new antibiotics against placebo for the same reason. Or new cancer drugs.

I'm pretty sure there's not

This is absolute gold

This is interesting. They had 14 years in opposition, arguably the latter few preparing for government, as the Tory popularity dropped. If they find it ‘difficult’, imagine what a #ReformUK would be like? Labour’s recent U-turns shows how difficult governing really is www.msn.com/en-gb/news/n...

Brexit - what was it good for, trade, immigration, red tape, economic growth - none of those, they all went backward. Since we’re not in the EU our farmers have been allowed to carry on using toxic pesticides, recently banned by the EU. So Brexit has made our food less safe. buff.ly/HI2jUZo

About time too. I’ve been an icy block all week 🥶

It’s a terrible fact that those tempted by Reform are the very people who’d suffer from their policies. The ignorance of the average voter renders our political system as defunct.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.

If you’ve felt exhausted, anxious, or numb in the face of nonstop political turmoil, you’re not imagining it and you're definitely not alone. @sarahsloat.bsky.social looks at the research on the psychological and physical toll of polycrisis.

Good. There’s no doubt he’s up to his neck in some disgusting stuff, let this be the start of his exposure. The royal family have covered it up, his mother did! He’s a sexual predator and needs to be investigated and if guilty incarcerated. No exceptions. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/n...

As we approach 10 years outside the European Union, we should be talking openly about the impact and the future for our country. The British economy is stuck, sluggish growth, unemployment rising, opportunities trashed. Let’s get talking. nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

The organisation still exists…

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Well I don’t want it #NotMyKing They’re that bad they don’t even earn my respect.

Can only agree. Can you imagine waking up to Farage as prime minister? With a cabinet of ex-Tories who claim to be able to fix the very problems they caused. The electorate is incompetent, it’s no wonder the polls are so favourable. It’s up to every other party to up their game and standards.

May be what is needed is a bit old Labour, because what Labour have become is a centre right, authoritarian party, with scant regard for those in society who need the most help and who are the most vulnerable. No one seems to be happy, they have alienated everyone and everything.

Imagine a former Royal Navy officer not understanding the needs of people to vote via post.

Please read this. We know from history how these things sneak their way in and no one questions it. Be the one who questions it.

UK Politics Today

Wow.

“No taxation, without representation…” Nigel Farage this morning. Wonder how the people of Clacton feel? Not even challenged on it. #ReformUK

The government’s little-known Green Book | England’s delay in enforcing socio-economic duty leaves regions at a disadvantage while the Treasury continues to put money before people | John Hall @johnfromyorkshire.bsky.social

And it begins - the #EpsteinFiles Analysis.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

There’s a few more that need this to be applied too… Let’s start with #Mone Peter Mandelson to be stripped of peerage under new laws www.msn.com/en-gb/news/n...

Good. They are practicing their right to protest peacefully, they are not inflicting or imposing terror on anyone. It was an authoritarian move and flawed. UK terror ban on pro-Palestine group unlawful, court rules after appeal - www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Not a member of ReformUK anymore then? Just a journalist and author…

open.substack.com/pub/meidasto... Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should not be practicing law, and they certainly should not be the most powerful prosecutors in the US. After Bondi's performance yesterday, she should be impeached by a large majority and investigated for her role in this heinous coverup

In shops across #Gorton and #Denton, #Manchester NOW!

“The UK has been colonised by immigrants…” says a tax exile immigrant living in Monaco. He obviously considers himself a patriotic ex-pat. Well that’s alright then. #Immigrant #MUFC #Hypocrite Apology not accepted.

Farage is a liar 🔥 Simple. www.threads.com/@salt_baer/p...

Can we please stop this nonsense about Matt Goodwin not giving a shit about Gorton and Denton and saying he will never go there if elected. I can assure you he is as committed to that area as I am to Clacton.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Without doubt. Good riddance, let’s see Benedict Cumberbatch make a movie about this piece of work…

Wise advice. The prospect of a Reform-led government under Nigel Farage, openly hostile to the EU and prone to unilateralism, looms large in Brussels.

The Daily Telegraph currently owned by a private equity vehicle RedBird IMI - based in the UAE and led by Italian American Gerry Cardinale and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Patriotic news. For patriotic people. Who don't want to pay taxes.

It turns out that the biggest grooming gang in the world is a gang of white, rich, powerful men like Epstein, Trump, Windsor, Mandelson, Clinton, Gates, Musk and Bannon. The white, rich and powerful men who demand action against grooming gangs are strangely quiet about that.
