@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder. There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

Nothing prepared me for the child poverty I see in Britain. November’s budget can and must halt its inexorable rise | Gordon Brown

Lewis Goodall, "This is Elon Musk, turning up at a far right rally, basically inciting violence in this country" "Most people in this country have no desire to go there, or look at it, or have any interest in that sort of rhetoric" "And yet, we are being pushed and pushed and pushed towards it"

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

This is, I believe, the first official word from the Government on what happened yesterday in London. Not only inaction in the face of violence and hate, but a celebration of it. I passed through London twice yesterday with my two kids & what Labour seem to be missing is that people aren't just...

Hardly “well”, Peter Kyle. Get a bloody grip @labouruk.bsky.social You have a massive majority. Keep pandering to the Tories and ReFuk. And, guess what? They don’t like you any better for it. Meanwhile you are squandering the votes of those who would customarily support you. IDIOTIC.

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

Elon Musk calls for the dissolution of the UK Parliament at a far-right rally Yet many right-thinking people still use his X platform Which he uses explicitly to turbo-charge fascism Just say no!

~25 people arrested for extreme violence at Tommy Robinsom protest in London yesterday. ~425 arrested for peaceful protest in Parliament Square last weekend. Why is the UK establishment - not to mention UK media - assisting the violent far-right? #standuptoracism

Far right protest today: 29 - police officers injured 9 - protestors arrested Proscribed group protests: 0 - police officers injured 1,600 - protestors arrested We have Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper to thank for this absurd anomaly

Absolutely horrified and disgusted to see so many people openly attending a fascist rally in our capital. All reported breathlessly on news channels and in some sections of the media. Everyone attending is complicit in this country's rapid decline into extremism.

Still waiting on the Prime Minister’s statement condemning the huge, violent, Nazi mob that attacked police officers in London…

So how come only 25 people were arrrsted at a violent protest where men obviously went looking for trouble, when last week hundreds of elderly, some disabled, were arrested for sitting down peacefully? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

22 rebels from 6 different XR groups gathered at Welwyn Garden City to target Howdens. Howdens are greenwashing us, covering up involvement in fossil fuels by referring to them as ‘Natural Resources’. #Greenwashing #ClimateEmergency

📢 City Hall, heeding @cleanairlondon.bsky.social warnings and advising Londoners to avoid worsening pollution today - a high pollution day. Could go further though - consider whether driving at all is necessary today, when people with lung and heart health conditions are coping with such bad air.

Over on Reddit someone is asking for science fiction for their precocious young reader and the people there are suggesting books that were old when that kid's grandparents were the same age as the kid, for fuck's sake if you didn't know any SF books from this millennium maybe sit this question out

Bumblebees #sleeping on/in #flowers at this time of year! What the feck is that all about? Lots of people asking us so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on. Please #repost/#share so more are more informed. Thanks good people. #bees #nature #biodiversity #worldbeesanctuary 1/16

What an utter absurdity our Home Secretary has created - Destroying British free speech, right to protest and with it undermining democracy. It is not for the government to terrorise the public for political opinions they don’t want to hear.

I genuinely don't understand this. Tonight's BBC news featured the case of a manslaughter case that won't get court time until 2028! How on earth can arresting grannies and retired clergy be a greater priority?

Disgusting. This Govt defends the arms industry at all costs - distracting from the inequality destroying our democracy, shattering what little trust remains - while a genocide rages. Starmer. Lammy. Cooper. We are watching.

UK hasn’t seen poverty like this for 60 yrs, says Gordon Brown in call to scrap two-child benefit cap. Tory govt imposed it. Labour continuing with it. Starmer removed whip from 7 MPs who opposed it. What is the mentality of Ministers condemning children to poverty, blighting futures?

This article by @jmbooyah.bsky.social is really good about the struggles that people from Gaza have on this platform and how Bluesky could have made different choices. I’ll highlight the accounts of some of the Gazans in it below ❤️

'UN agency says staff fainting from hunger as starvation spreads in Gaza'. The ‘entire humanitarian system is collapsing’, says UNRWA chief Grotesque, appalling: the UK must sanction Netanyahu, stop sending Israel weapons, & recognise the state of Palestine www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Congratulations to Netenyahu in managing to unite the Express and the Guardian in outrage.

UK opinion on Gaza war (YouGov, July 2025) 18% support Israel’s actions in Gaza, 55% oppose 81% of those who oppose say it’s a genocide Large margins in favour of: - trade embargoes (48% to 20%) - financial sanctions on individuals (52% to 19%) - suspending arms exports to Israel (57% to 18%)

“… 7,000 steps a day dramatically cuts your risk of death and disease” Great reminder that you don’t need to hit 10,000 steps to see the benefits of walking more, in fact “the biggest health benefits happen between zero and 7,000 steps.” And short bursts of activity work just as well as long walks.

Gaza faces mass starvation with supplies 'totally depleted', aid agencies warn news.sky.com/story/gaza-f...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... “what is being done to Palestinians in Gaza is barbaric and entirely preventable. I cannot believe we have come to a point where the world is watching as the people of Gaza […] endure starvation and gunfire, all while food and medical aid sits across the border”.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

It’s incomprehensible that three Labour MPs should be suspended for refusing to vote to make disabled people poorer. How did it come to this?

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j... Appalling! So everyone who supports the right of Palestian children not to be shot while queuing for food is now a terrorist?

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.
