I understood from Burnham supporters is that he is politically far more astute than Starmer. If that is true then appointing Mahmoud as Chancellor is an astonishing faux paux. Quite apart from her utterly alienating record as Home Secretary www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Delay, denial, delay. It’s almost like he’s reading and following the Trump playbook.

A classic example of Betteridge’s Law.

I think you could get the tube to the last public hanging, which seems a bizarre crossover.

Morning all! 😉

Because it doesn’t suit the narrative of the overseas owners of 🇬🇧 RW press!☹️

Sick & tired of people being unable comprehend that you can totally decry Farage for inciting violence and rage AND ALSO believe that the murder of Henry Nowak was utterly horrendous and that the police got it very wrong. These things are NOT mutually exclusive!

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

Oh dear another fragile poster in @bluebirdk7.bsky.social who can't handle the truth, I'm guessing that they don't have any evidence at all of K7 on full plane like this photo from Bute because they would've shown the evidence but because I didn't fall for the museum gaslighting I get blocked.

and on the reserve list Nigel Farage - Russian Stooge Nigel Farage - Trump Apologist Nigel Farage - AI promotion Nigel Farage - tax avoidance specialist Nigel Farage - crypto laundering expert.

#speclist Things will get more simple, they promised us...

It was kind of Robert Jenrick to set me up for an obvious joke at his expense.

#BBCNews - 'Millions' of pounds saved by replacing Palantir tech in refugee system www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

Many a true word spoken in jest.

This is why I’m here: 🧵Trigger warning: suicide I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice. Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

It’s more common than you think. I heard about a MP who thought he was going to Clacton and somehow ended up in the Chagos Islands

Wow.

I second the motion… 👍

and our 2 dogs wonder why I keep telling them to simply leave the cats alone. I don’t want to have more vet bills.

No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It’s not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there’ll be No more turning away

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent… “We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Books returned to the shelves upside down and back to front. Entire rows pushed to the back. Spines broken by casual browsers. Wet dogs leaning against paperbacks... All these moments will be lost in time like tears of a bookseller."

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

This is truly brilliant!👏👏✨ I wondered why I disliked Trump so much……🤭 londondaily.com/british-writ...

We All 👇 Agree 💯 Chumpster......

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

We need to focus more on perpetrators of Child Sexual Exploitation & Abuse rather than focusing solely on a single group/ethnicity 98% of the adults who sexually abused me as a child were white while 100% of the teenagers trafficking me were white Focusing on a minority is detrimental to victims

Farage the hypocrite, who’d have thunk it!

the first rule of bluesky is do not publicly plan assassinations on bluesky. the second rule of bluesky is if you are going to publicly plan assassinations on bluesky at least do it in remspeak, give your lawyer something to work with

Wow, #JethroTull stone-cold classic #progrock #album #ThickAsABrick is HITTING today, for some reason 🤓 music.youtube.com/watch?v=9jNL... Really don’t mind if you sit this one out/ My word’s but a whisper, your deafness a shout/ I may make you feel, but I can’t make you think #Resist #lyrics

Liz Truss really is quite a conundrum! A gift that keeps on giving, yet taking at the same time. So dense light bends around her, yet simultaneously one of the most vacuous objects in the known Universe. Waiting on Prof Brian Cox to explain how she does not break Quantum Mechanics theories.

I first learnt of grooming gangs from @theTimes in Jan 2011 I became chief prosecutor May 2011 I authorised charging Rochdale grooming gang June 2011 After convictions (May 2012) Starmer put me in charge of national response Far Right thugs attacked my home 1000s of rapists were brought to justice

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Do you all remember, before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information? Yeah, well it wasn't that.

At what stage did the BBC adopt Betteridge’s Law as the default policy?

Seen on X - Two stolen rally cars from Preston- request for help. #rally.

Be honest. THIS is how most of you arrived on Blue Sky:

During trump 1.0, we had to pull down all of the climate change pages off the EPA website. Start archiving shit now, document, backup, photograph, whatever you need to do.
