There.Is.No.Place.For.Hatred! What has happened in Manchester is deplorable. End of. As is what has happened to Gaza. It too is deplorable. Both of my statements can be true at the same time! Why do we have to state that?!

🔴Elon Musk Should Face ‘Full Force of the Law’ Says Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey The Liberal Democrat leader tells Byline Times that Musk and his platform are inciting violence and breaking laws designed to protect children online bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/e...

Everyone in this country is descended from immigrants. Every single last one of us. And many, like Mr Farage, will have very recent migrant ancestors indeed and not even know about it.

Their daughter, Gladys, later married a descendant of French Huguenots called Harry Farage... and Gladys and Harry are the grandparents of this man. Maybe someone should ask him who of his ancestors he'd have liked to deport. 3/3

So Farage was this press conference to try to hide your tax dodging & cover up your partner’s £885,000 Clacton home scandal? Nice try but we will not forget, you lying, grifting, horrible man. #NeverVoteReform #NeverFarage

This fool, talking the talk of his alt right mates who want to see the U.K. and it’s rep sink.

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

You want this?

Wise, wise words from John Stewart on the importance of comedy and art as a belwether for authoritarianism [SOUND ON 🔊]

Bill Maher needs to get his researchers to put more effort in. Suggesting that people in the U.K. are regularly arrested due to tweets? Really? Suggesting that it’s an authoritarian state? This is lazy and dangerous and for most of his audience who have never been, very misleading.

Good morning Liverpool. Have a wonderful Sunday. #sunday #sundaymorning #liverpool #merseyside @angiesliverpool.bsky.social @daveyph.bsky.social @yoliverpool.bsky.social @stratusimagery.bsky.social

This is how you go about reaching people. It's not a difficult argument to make - we just need politicians to make it.

These patriots …attacking the people employed to protect their countryfolk. Warms the cockles doesn’t it? #Yobsnotpatriots

Nigel Farage is still refusing to explain his £885,000 house purchase in Clacton which he didn't pay £44,000 Stamp Duty on. It's time for him to go isn't it?

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

You were sufficiently warned. She live-streamed this speech for 90 days straight. Why didn't America listen to her? The white patriarchy has turned everybody into fools, with no sense and no judgment.

"We are the patriotic party" says Nigel Farage, who just spent the past few days slagging off his own country to a foreign superpower, while encouraging them to impose sanctions on our economy if we don't do what they say

Of course Angela Rayner was disliked because she’s a feisty, working class woman who wouldn’t kowtow to public school boys who thought they were superior. But she was still wrong and she still had to go.

Love these photos of my book being read by pooches. The dogs owners are sending them to me as as I doubt that the dogs themselves have social media. #streetdogsthebook #childrensauthor

This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Mail is going to go full Farage. The Telegraph already has, to the absolute horror of the proper journalists still on the paper. Tony Gallagher at The Times is, as ever, waiting for Rupert Murdoch’s instructions. Their only alternative is to own the stupidity of backing Johnson, Brexit & Truss.

Of course the Queen was Remain. You don’t sustain a hereditary monarchy by randomly pulling pins out of grenades for the lols at the urging of a cluster of snake oil chancers.

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

This is how the average Brit feels, not the image promoted by the BBC.

Lovely Luna receiving her copy of Street Dogs, False Friends. #streetdogsthebook #childrensbook #illustratedbook

The order to assassinate Anas Al Sharif, one of Gaza's bravest journalists, and his colleagues, is a desperate attempt to silence the voices exposing the impending seizure and occupation of Gaza. One more in a long long list of Israeli war crimes.

The killings of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa by the IDF is a war crime. They are civilians. The IDF must provide evidence of the terrorist claims, and explain why an entire tent was targeted when they would know other civilians would be present.

Seems journalists are free game. What more does the world need to know? #gaza

This cheered me up - a lovely review of Street Dogs, False Friends. #childrensbooks #author #childrenswriter @mandylalley.bsky.social

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey urges Starmer to join a Customs Union with the EU, to turbocharge the economy and pave the way back to the Single Market.

People say “you can’t put the genie back in the bottle” re: technology. But that’s why the bottle was there in the first place. Someone decided it was bad having the genie running loose, and bottled it.

War crimes…war crimes….war crimes.

BBC News, "The BBC World Service has compiled material on over 160 cases where children have been shot in Gaza and found that in 95 cases the child was shot in the head or the chest" "In most these cases, the victim was under 12 years old"

For an unknown writer, seeing your book in a shop window is a thrill! It’s not British, but allow yourself a moment of pride when you’ve worked hard and shown resilience. Street Dogs, False Friends is now available to buy. The second in the Street Dogs series. @mandylalley.bsky.social

Finally, some movement from the U.K. government.

Visited the fabulous indie Write Blend Bookshop in Waterloo, Liverpool, to promote Street Dogs and Street Dogs, False Friends. Unknown creative with big time passion. Illustrated by the terrific @mandylalley.bsky.social

Welker to Lindsey Graham as he pushes baseless conspiracy theories in an effort to gin up a scandal about Obama: "Are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the Epstein matter, senator?"

In light of Israel starving the population of Gaza Dr Amir Khan explains what happens when a human being starves "Right now children in Gaza are feeling this right now. This is not a natural death, it's a man made one. And it's preventable. Let aid in"

This is ridiculous. Water chiefs’ pay rises to average of £1.1m despite ban on bonuses and outrage over pollution www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Street Dogs, False Friends is now available to buy. It’s such a fabulous book, with beautiful illustrations by @mandylalley.bsky.social , and offers a wholesome, fun read with some important life themes for children. An antidote to so much out there right now.

Has it ever been harder to pick a side? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Jamie Lee Curtis on The Late Show cancellation. “They’re trying to silence us. That won’t work…we’ll just get louder”

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Water companies say they're putting billions in" Feargal Sharkey, "They took £84 billion in dividends and created £74 billion of debt.. We've been cheated" "There is no pollution control in this country anyone, the companies are out of control"

🇫🇷 President Macron: "But I have to say the European Union was stronger with you and you were stronger with the European Union."

Private Eye should be the UK’s number one go to newspaper.

Old, deranged, delusional men, who are also ego maniacs, putting the rest of OUR lives on hold as we wonder what next for the world.

Unbelievable. Yet she calls herself an educator? SHE clearly needs educating.

The world is threatened by old, male, malignant narcissists with fragile egos and a proclivity for “look over there” politics, in order to distract from their own evilness. Once again, we’re ALL a little less safe this morning (slow hand clap.)

Who would have thought that the typical Reform councillor has no real desire to work their backside off in order to improve their local community? 🤔
