Wish I could internalize this

Shortage of NHS stroke specialists in England resulting in death or disability. Between 10,000 and 20,000 patients died or sustained a serious disability because of treatment delays. Lives destroyed by fiscal rules, austerity, appeasement of the rich and forcing people to go private.

This gentleman has a response for Richard Grennell's ignorance regarding the artists who are canceling perfomances in record numbers after the loathsome piece of shit's renaming of The Kennedy Center. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

You can give a man a world class education, a long career writing and editing, and he'll still brazenly claim to not parse a sentence of three syllable words because shame is for the peasantry

His name is Mubinul Hoque, and this is the SECOND YEAR he is doing this.

Your regular reminder that almost no one - but especially those on the political right - actually believes in either free markets or the free marketplace of ideas.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

media creators and fellow rebels during the last few months and building a wee virtual team to include movers and shakers, and by f@ck, we have some great stuff planned between Jan and May. Have a nice Christmas folks. After New Year we have serious work to do, so hope you're up for it.

i post this story every christmas, and will keep doing so until it stops making me cry merry christmas xx

Oh dear

Day 381 of nonstop protests in Georgia. The Russia backed Georgian Dream introduced a new law to curb unsanctioned protests. Protestors continue to resist daily with no sign of stopping in the face of repression and tyranny. #3E

Heckling... who knew? Thanks Dundee!

Now here's a protest outside a hotel most of us would get behind.

"‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock Intl Criminal Court judge out of daily life. Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards or access everyday services (Uber, Alexa, Ticketmaster...) in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary." www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

The government are ignoring this protest, that's not the action of a government in control of the narrative.

If you want to support Robin Ince, why not buy one of his books? It will both help him and give you a very entertaining and thought provoking read. www.waterstones.com/author/robin...

It is incredibly sad that the BBC is a place for Robbie Gibb, Fiona Bruce and Laura Kuenssberg, and not Robin Ince.

There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve... #Storytime

A story about songbirds, or bigots and how to answer them. Robin Ince is in my thoughts today. bsky.app/profile/joan...

Here's a Bluesky story from Joanne Harris about song birds (or about bigots and how they can be drowned out by kinder voices). Thinking of Robin Ince today. bsky.app/profile/joan...

This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

This was a great watch. Stunning visuals and a good script. It was somewhat let down by the narration (and the image below). www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4gm...

Guess what.

Do consider becoming a member. It’s always a great read - and also independent local reporting is fundamental to the health of our politics and places. (I’ve been a longtime supporter and am a small investor.)

Something else you won't hear about from BBC Shortbread. A Scottish government's good story. It's not just the SNP but the Scottish people that helped make this happen. Westminster wanted it shut........ wonder why🤔

What’s Scotland supposed to do? Consult Nostradamus to find out how we have another referendum? Rachel Reeves says that even if the SNP wins a majority on its own at Holyrood the UK government will still not permit another vote. It’s a democratic outrage My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

FFS Daily Mail No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach “adult migrants” Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?🙄 I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter Now the DM are on it, let’s go again! 🧵 1/12
