She says they're denying her water, forcing her to pose for pictures holding flags, and keeping her in a bedbug infested cell www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-w... Reading the article, it seems a but problem is the lease to the Crown Estate. Why are we in Wales paying so much money to the Crown Estate for properties in our own country?!? #Wales #Cymru #Independence # Annibyniaeth

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk makes a clever suggestion that’d hugely benefit UK & improve public health by incentivising US cancer specialists whose research was cancelled by Trump to come here It’s hidden away on BBC, no headline on Sky Yesterday Farage said he’d deport 1,000’s it was all over both 🤷🏼‍♂️😡

Jerry from Ben & Jerry's has resigned after 47 years after Unilever silenced their politcal activism.

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle. Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

Let’s get this trending today. Thinking of you Janey. #Trumpisacunt

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

So much greatness.

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@michaelrosen.bsky.social has written such a beautiful articule. here. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... 1/3

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words

I see ICE is spreading its net far and wide these days. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I am currently half way through reading "A Boy with Two Hearts" by Hamed Amiri. I know people don't make the treacherous journey here to seek asylum for fun - but reading a first hand account really brings it home. I really recommend it. #booksky #immigration #afghanistan #welcome

How to prepare citizens for a world swamped by fake news ? Maybe UK should teach media literacy as part of a revised national curriculum ? Approach worked in Finland so why not here ? www.dandc.eu/en/article/f... @profsanderlinden.bsky.social @lewan.bsky.social

www.devonlive.com/news/devon-n... “Following the painting of a St George's cross in Tiverton, locals took it upon themselves to add a rainbow flag and a peace symbol”✊🥰💖☺️ Love this

In another instalment of: “Didn’t Age Well” This video was deleted from Twitter. So you know what to do. 😏

Once hundreds of schools start closing across the country and the retirement age rises to 75, the current period of moral panic over immigration is going to look utterly ridiculous

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Wednesday's DAILY MIRROR: Britain is better than this #TomorrowsPapersToday

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

Former US President Clinton says he got Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons in 1994 Budapest Memorandum And says that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine, if Ukraine still had it's nuclear weapons

No. Neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainian People can end russia’s war, because neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainians invaded anyone. To “continue the fight,” to continue to defend yourself, your families, your children is not a choice it’s a duty. For pootihn & russia, this is a war of choice, for 🇺🇦 it isn’t.

This is shocking. Behaviour like this does not belong in the UK 😥

www.theguardian.com/law/2025/aug... The nerve of the guy. Comes here, causes chaos with road closures & delayed opening of Hampton Court palace - and is he grateful? No, he mouths off about lack of free speech - when having an unflattering meme of JD Vance can see you denied entry into the USA.

NHS England told to keep patients in Powys waiting for operations

The death toll from a Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv has risen to 31, including three children. At least 159 people were wounded, 16 of them kids. www.kyivpost.com/post/57340

In "Legitimate Concerns" news. 41% of the 899 arrested for taking part in Farage Riots last year had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence. For those arrested by one police force, this figure was 68%. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

@byeliness.bsky.social any idea how much it is costing UK taxpayers please? And if you do pick this up, thank you ❤️

Sing, however badly. Play an instrument, even if a pair of spoons and if you can't keep rhythm. Paint and sketch, no matter how good (or not) you may be. Create art for the sake of creating art. You won't be graded. It's not an exam you can fail. It's simply food for your soul.

Remembering Janey Godley today.

Every now and then you find something on the internet that makes you smile. Thank you @shedsevenofficial.bsky.social.

Help! My neighbour planted a fruit tree against the fence next to our patio. Last year it wasn't really a problem, but this year it's real wasp magnet. How can I keep them away so we can eat out here on warm evenings?

When you’re definitely not guilty.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com

Bilingual. Or multi-lingual. It's not unusual for EAL pupils to speak another language in addition to English and their first language. It's just English speakers that seem to be ignorant.

New petition: "Create a 'Homes for Palestine' Sponsorship and Visa Scheme" Deadline 1 November 2025, created by Maria Teresa Bertucci #NewPetition

Don’t see why this was rejected, if they want to class it as a England and Wales project we may as well get something out of it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was lucky enough this morning to go to the opening of Theatr Clwyd in Mold in N.Wales. I love this place! For anyone who doesn't know the area, the glass front is there for a reason - the wonderful view of Moel Famau. I am looking forward to its next phase.

A brilliant article by Will Hayward - including the best analogy of why we need proportional representation I have seen.

Around 3/4 of people don’t want Reform in power. But the narrative is that they are unstoppable. First-past-the-post has warped British politics for far too long. Now it risks letting the extreme right win a majority. It needs to go. My latest guardian column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

A housing project claims to offer a cost-effective alternative to asylum hotels that helps asylum seekers off the streets and into work.
