"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

I’m a ‘Slow Horse’!…

What kind of person endures 14 yrs of Tory incompetence & corruption, votes to oust them, & is then hoodwinked by a master grifter to vote the very worst of them back in again for more of the same. It’d be lunacy on a grand scale. Turquoise Tories. Careful what you wish for.

This BBC kids tv advert from 1998 is still very impressive and very lovely

What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?

Tea, cake and ‘Sapphire & Steel!

UK newspaper headlines: "Cyber attack on shops" Inside my head:

This month’s blog is talking about Book Tourism - places we go because we’ve read about them in fiction. #booksky www.reloten.com/post/book-to...

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Finally found a suitable cake to watch ‘The Faceless Ones’ kindly gifted by @dann82.bsky.social!

Sky News let the Reform Party kill a story about how they've been assaulting journalists. This is how client media works.

Ed Davey, "We're speaking up in defiance of Donald Trump" "We're the only ones willing to say that Trump cannot be relied upon to play by the rules or stick to the agreements, and that his presidency is a threat to peace and prosperity in the UK, across Europe and around the world"

Public libraries are deprived and crumbling but they are still oases of sanctuary and sanity amid vast deserts of corporate bullshit. Pretty much the last ones left. Treasure them.

Hell yeah there's already a teaser trailer.

Zelensky has not refused to negotiate. He has refused to surrender … #auspol

Its not treading a fine line. Its outright blackmail news.sky.com/story/trump-...

Hopes America enjoys being the pariah to the sane world it has become due to bad voting choices by its populace!

youtu.be/pvT3aQjLxdE Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

Before it gets stolen, you saw it here first....! I follow back if you're interested....

Keir Starmer told Zelenskyy after he hugged him on Downing Street: "As you heard from the cheers in the street outside, you have the full backing of the United Kingdom. That is the people of the UK coming out to demonstrate how much they support you the the people of Ukraine" 👏

King Charles is set to welcome Volodymyr Zelensky at Sandringham on Sunday👏 www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/...

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER Trump has suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia. That is not true. We all need to call this out

“President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin”

"Put your trousers on! You're nicked!" What? Come with us, as we escape the horrors of the present and retreat into the nostalgia of the past, and see which B7 actors also appeared in the iconic 70's cop show, The Sweeney. Pour yourself 3 fingers of Bells, and let's go! What? 🧵

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

It will come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Donald Trump repeatedly made false and misleading claims during his inaugural address www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

BREAKING: Elon Musk tweets probed by UK counter-extremism unit as alarm raised over risk to Britain www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I loathe bullies and rich bullies are the worst. No limits on their self delusion. Several have crawled out of the woodwork recently. We have to seize the narrative.

And so say all of us Time to ban X in the UK and investigate the possibility of prosecuting Musk And to beef up the powers exercised by Ofcom - urgently

Keir Starmer, "I'm very concerned about where the Tory party are going on this" "Because if you're not prepared to stand up as a Tory MP and denounce what's been said about Jess Philips, who has now had threats made to her" "Then you seriously need to consider why you're in politics"

How the Elon Enablers Are Putting Britain at Risk. “Demands for Keir Starmer to appease the far-right billionaire will only empower those seeking to overthrow the UK Government” @adambienkov.bsky.social www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/give-musk-...

As I’ve said before, we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it with speed & we need to do it with urgency & then we need to use it with truth & justice to send Elon Musk packing www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

50 years of the fourth Doctor. The one and only Tom Baker!

One size fits all really doesn’t!

Farage: Multi millionaire arsehole participating in an illegal sick “blood sport” for the elite with other millionaires, celebrates duping enough people without a pot to piss in, to join Reform. How the fuck do people not see they’re being conned? When I become PM, I’ll make Toff Hunting legal.

Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him He has bankrolled elections, stoked riots and ignored laws. We mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s richest bully www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
