So disappointing - @glasgowcc.bsky.social allows DF Concerts to do whatever they like. Always a free pass for TRNSMT. I'm local and dread this festival every year. It's always carnage and I worry about safeguarding, especially of young women. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Are any Labour MPs going to stand up for Iris Duane or Q Manivannan - or are there going to sit on their hands and let their colleagues just engage in transphobic bullying without challenge?!

Help! I need a fashion historian (or fan) of handbags — AKA purses, the woman-coded bag you put things in — from the 80s to today. Essentially, I need to know when a certain style of handbag became popular, and what 5–10-year era it symbolises. RTs and tagging others in the comments very welcome!

Very proud of my MP!

This is why I have to roll my eyes when people claim that learners being interested and engaged is a 'poor proxy for learning'. Just think about that for a split second and you can see that it's a net positive, regardless of whether it helps you memorise more stuff for tests. 🤷‍♀️

Please never give up on your dream that one day, you will finally have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?” Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

These stories are shocking and people who are enabling this approach should be ashamed of themselves because it's NOT teaching. I feel so sorry for the teachers and learners forced into this.

Happy Birthday to Margaret Calvert today. 90 years old and what an impact! Her work is in every local town. A Margaret thread 🧵1/11

😂 Sam Coates makes an ABSOLUTE TIT of himself. Calls PM photos "fake news" then finds out they're from the Press Association. If you make a spurious, inflammatory point you never made about any official photograph before, to pitch yourself as the only reliable source, at a minimum check your facts.

Important announcement: a staycation is where you have time off and stay at home. It is not a holiday away from home in the UK. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This was of course just before Keir joined Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet

Wes Streeting is already facing growing calls to stand down as PM

I always love direct action!!

Strange how all of these Reform characters keep turning out to be racists. Of course, it’s too early to say if there’s a pattern developing. Just bad luck I suppose.

Morning Womble! I have also been reading The Girl With A Thousand Faces, because I'm interviewing Sunyi about it in a couple of weeks. If anyone in the Glasgow area wants to join us, details below. /shamelessplug bsky.app/profile/wate...

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

I’m not posting about the massive reform breakthrough that puts Farage on the doorstep of No. 10 in an unstoppable wave of support, as it didn't happen. This is a map in full of all the additional councils that Reform now run following their acquisition of 26% of the national vote share. #reform

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

Unexpected!

Be a David Attenborough in world of Trumps, Farages, Musks, and Putins.

Yaas!

I know it is part of what makes us a democracy but I really don't want to hear or see Reform pundits or Joanna Cherry as a pundit on my tv or radio.

WTAF? That will be my response to English and Welsh elections. Deep analysis from me!

People say there is no goodness in the world any more, but it turns out that crypto-billionaire in Thailand really did care about improving our bin collections.

Unless we change the voting system, we will see this at the next general election as well. With votes split across five or more parties, power can be won on as little as 25% of the vote. This needs to be a wake-up call.

After about 8 years of trying desperately to get people to believe fascism is here in Scotland and in the ascendant, and people confidently telling me it was impossible because this is Scotland, we are staring down the barrel of a fascist party being the second biggest party in Holyrood. 1/

A barrister is being tried for simply accurately stating the law to a jury in a closing speech, possibly for the first time ever. It is chilling how quickly we are resorting to authoritarian measures, particularly in the context of the genocide in Palestine. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

How armadillos gather foliage for their nests

me: I’m voting with my feet! election worker: no

A reminder that this is why we make fun of The Odyssey. The book would not exist if Odysseus was not such a complete chaos goblin who was busy causing problems for himself by arguing with Gods and being a shit navigator. There is no way to make an extremely serious movie out of this material.

Men would rather get caught up in a ten year mess of curses and fights than ask for directions

Go out and get it done folks ✊️✅️🗳 Send Reform packing! 👊

Scotland- remember to to GET YOUR VOTE OUT! Scots DONT need any special ID. And don't vote fash by mistake ( that Independent Green Voice is a bunch of actual out and put fascists who use the name to fool people because they know that their own sad little

Please use your vote today to keep progressive, inclusive parties in Holyrood, no place for far right parties although I fear they may win seats

Someone this greedy and corrupt will never act in the best interests of the country. He showed you with Brexit. He showed you with Reform councils. He showed you with his own constituency. He’ll lie to your face and sell you out. Do not let him win because then we all lose. Do not vote Reform.

Have to say.. as red flags go, proposing to set up concentration camps and taking a £5M personal bribe would be the top two when deciding who NOT to vote for. It is genuinely insane and extremely troubling that Farage could still be electable despite that… or even because of it. WTAF, UK?

Over the last couple of years the meaning of the word ceasefire has completely been eroded.

Cork, what a county. Its September 1934 and the Derry Journal reports that at a cinema dance in Buttevant, Co. Cork, all the women there refused to dance with the fascist Blueshirts. A Blueshirt announced that they had paid their way in and if no girls would dance with them.. [1/2]

She’s not wrong. At some point you have to ask… are you part of the machine funding the problem?

The aesthetic is always striking. The Gothic font in the first row, the Nordic runes in the second row (the word "Nordic" is often a tell, to be honest). And they love their Norse gods, too.

Even among fascists, this is an extreme clothing brand, because it’s not deniable. And people now feel comfortable wearing it in the middle of Berlin, in a way they didn’t 10 years ago. I can’t describe how serious this is. It’s basically saying “I’d wear a swastika in the street if that was legal“.
