And putting caseworker into the low skilled category is nuts. In Luxembourg care workers have to undergo 3 years of training. There is specialisation, progression and professional pride. Without them, their knowledge and attention, we would be lost.

It certainly did. Essential cf Non-essential workers. I remember supermarket check out staff being particularly unsung heros ... while others moaned loudly in the media about being bored at home, having to look after their own kids and not being able to buy soft furnishings!

Covid taught us who the most important workers are - and it wasn't the people having illegal parties.

CARE WORK IS HIGHLY SKILLED WORK and only paid so poorly because of the failure of successive governments to value it properly.

Why the fuck was there a bipartisan Epstein files transparency act if they weren’t gonna do anything with the Epstein files? Like are they even talking about them anymore? Was that just for shock & awe? I guess so.

COME TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS....

"No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices." Edward R. Murrow, who died on this day in 1965

Here is another fact Putin’s fan club desperately wants to bury: Russia controlled significantly more Ukrainian territory one month into the invasion than they do today. Over four years of grinding war and massive casualties just to go backwards. Complete failure

The convicted felon/adjudicated rapist, the MOST corrupt regime, lying constantly supposedly was “calm” after the shooting & said “we aren’t going to let anybody take over our society?” As he steals, cheats, sends billionaires more billions—trying to annihilate our votes, our democracy, our rights.

This is all fine and dandy but we need to see the Epstein Files released and proceed to Trials.

Fuck off @MeghanMcCain. I’m an American. I have free speech. I have a right to criticize Trump’s ugly ballroom & will do so whenever I want. Whoever the Dem nominee is in 2028 should pledge to tear the damn thing down. And btw, your father would be so damn disappointed in what you’ve become.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to have intelligent, informed, honest & truthful people in government? 🤔

Govt minister Emma Reynolds starts by saying its been categorically proven that Keir Starmer did not mislead parliament Sophy Ridge points out: "He seemed to say Mandelson cleared all vetting when he didn't" "Well he didn't know.." So he inadvertently mislead parliament then.

3rd “assassination attempt”, 1 illegal war and still no full disclosure of the Epstein Files.

BREAKING: MASS PROTESTS ERUPT IN TEL AVIV The streets of Tel Aviv are flooded tonight, Sunday, April 26, 2026, as thousands of Israelis have gathered in a massive show of defiance against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Don't let Trump's staged assassination attempt distract you from the fact that Trump is the main character in the Epstein files.

It’s kinda surreal to watch all those who celebrated the J6 insurrection, cheered the pardons of all the violent offenders, now lamenting the state of political violence in America.

When O’Donnell started reading from the gunman’s alleged manifesto, the interview got tense. She read this quote, (allegedly) written by the suspect: “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” WHO IS THE ASSASSIN REFERRING TO ???

Kwasi Kwarteng comments on Rachel Reeves. Kwasi, lest we forget, was chancellor of the exchequer for 38 days.

thinking about the gould quote again

The Churchill Hospital has begun running ‘Super Surgery Days’, carrying out double the number of operations on a Saturday to make use of theatre capacity. In the most recent event, nine endocrine surgery procedures were carried out by a specialist team in under eight hours.

The absolute state of parties saying not to extend the vote to 16 year olds because they might not vote for them. Let’s restrict franchise because they might do something that we don’t like. Exactly the same when voting reform is suggested. We live in a pseudo democracy ruled by a small elite.

We just dropped a limited batch of $5 tickets at gothamfc.com/mayor for the Gotham FC May 9th home game vs. Boston Legacy. I'll be there. Will you? Grab a $5 ticket at gothamfc.com/mayor before they're gone!

Wait. Who’s filming? And why were they allowed to just stand there?

Trump keeps posting that America was once the laughingstock of the world, but now that he is president, it's never been more respected. As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here.

He lives in Thailand goes by a different name, holds 12% of one of the world's most profitable companies,appeared in the Panama Papers and has given £22M to Farage's parties This is the man bankrolling the party that says it speaks for working people. Who is Harborne & what does he want in return

All very reminiscent of how, under the last Conservative government, people involved in awarding huge public test and trace contracts were rewarded with lucrative jobs with their suppliers.

That a so called Labour former minister and spouse of so called Labour Foreign Secretary is working for #GMB says all you need to know about the current so called Labour far right government! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Great effort on GMB, trying to change the salience of the conversation. They obviously wanted to rattle off a list of "gotchas". Shame that political "journalism" has fallen to these lows.

When one presenter claims to read body language for answers and the other is married to a government minister, still living on MP benefits, GMB shouldn’t be interviewing politicians. 🤷‍♂️

So #GMB spent their entire interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social asking him about policies that aren't Green party policy & aren't in the manifesto for Mays elections, along with a story from the scum about Zack before he was a politician Zack: "This is why people hate the media" 🎯

If criticism of an administration / president's performance is not permitted, nothing is left of democracy and fascism has won.

I might have to start watching 60 minutes again.

I mean, they sure are smirking a lot for people who just sat through an attempted “assassination.”

Dear France, Thank you for blocking war criminals! ================

Lebanon’s Public Health Emergency Operations Centre said on Sunday that Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon killed 14 people, including two children and two women, and wounded 37 others, among them three women. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260427-14-...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "The so called war on drugs has failed over & over again.. we have the highest drug deaths in Europe.. the Q has to be, what do you do about it" Except not only are many of our politicians & media unwilling to ask that Q, they hysterically attack anyone who does

An adjudicated rapist said on tv that he wasn’t a rapist and the media didn’t bother questioning him on it.

Feels like I’ve watched this show for the Epsteinth time.

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

I’m reminded of the old Golda Meir poster that said, “But can she type?” This current regime will never accept this amazingly intelligent and highly gifted person. They would call her a DEI hire. I am deeply ashamed of this regime and the people who elected and continue to support them.

This wonderful, incredibly smart woman. 🏆❤️

Well done to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for calling out the fact he was being interviewed by a former Lab minister & husband of the current foreign secretary #GMB is now produced by @itvnews.bsky.social. How can they think this is tenable? Oh & Ed took it in good grace (not)
