Would you eat chicken washed in chlorine? Trump is yet again pushing the UK to accept lower food and animal welfare standards in exchange for a tech deal. That means unsafe meat on our shelves and British farmers undercut. We fought this before and won. Now we need to do it again.

Look, you’re in the doldrums of the holidays. You need a dopamine hit… you should pre-order CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD 4 to *feel* something.

GODFATHER FROM HELL has risen from the grave! Earlier this year, we had to make the difficult decision to stop individual issues of our infernal neo-noir thriller but in 2026, @thevaultcomics.bsky.social will publish the entire story as an OGN with a new cover by @piusbak.bsky.social (1/3)

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

On 5th July this year, Palestine Action was proscribed after a vote in Parliament invoking the Terrorism Act 2000. Since then, police have made over 2,700 arrests for peacefully protesting. These arrests are unlawful. Amnesty UK has intervened in the Judicial Review in the courts.

Here is a convicted sexual predator sat next to a king at a banquet . Here is a peaceful pensioner protesting against genocide being arrested. Just working on the words for the learning to read series I am developing for children (reading words and reading a society’s priorities)

Folk have confirmed that this applies to ebooks from Apple & Bookshop as well!

The Gov could FINALLY be about to end fox hunting for good, by banning trail hunting. But the likes of Farage are criticising the ban. We need to drown them out: sign the petition now to back the ban and tell the Government to hold firm: 38d.gs/trailhuntingtw

Rupert Lowe-Life is paid £94K a year plus generous expenses by us taxpayers to sit at home churning out decisive, racist. Islamaphobic, anti migrant, hate posts & films on X like this👇🏼 He’s trying to groom disaffected young men, preying on their fears to make it the migrants & liberals fault❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

They "discovered" that when mice are rewilded they become less anxious.And this surprises scientists? Being trapped, tormented by experiments makes them more anxious than being free in nature. They had to learn this? People experimenting on caged animals lose empathy, weakening basic understanding.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

These people can fuck off. I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user. I can walk from the gate to the plane, but not the 2 miles w/in an airport from the outer doors to the plane. More disabled people don't get services they need than the # of able-bodied scammers. Articles like this make things worse.

In a chemical world, it's very, very, very cheap. In our blood. In our water. In our babies. 🩸☠️💧Ask @EmmaReynolds to stop the poisoning of Britain, and ban #ForeverChemicals immediately! 🚫 Join the @38_degrees consultation submission to #BanPFAs👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

Super interesting how he has more energy for this than for those far-right marches where people were calling for his government to be overthrown.

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.

the americanisation of the british right wing is just pathetic, like you can’t even be your own kind of wanker any more war on christmas (lol), bathroom bans (we don’t call them bathrooms here), DEI (we didn’t used to put those letters that way round), even 15-minute cities (what the actual fuck)

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
