Gutted that I missed Notting Hill Carnival in London this year. This vid has a few shots of it....it's SO Fun 🤩 if are ever in London over the Aug bank hols weekend. 💃 A mini ver of Madi Gras... the Costumes are incredible (altho take ear plugs!,.. & a poncho for rain...sorry, it's England!)

Reposting this from a busy Scandi London cafe... Safe, calm and cosmopolitan as usual 99.99% of the time in London.

Trump at the UN: "I look at London where you have a terrible mayor... Now they want to go to Sharia law." This is entirely false. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is politically moderate and has never ever called for Sharia law. This is Islamophobic propaganda and a bigoted attack on Khan.

CEOs are earning 100s of times more than their staff. Tesco’s boss made 431x the average worker last year! 😳 Sign the petition for a maximum wage, and help make pay fair you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/it...

Useless reporting by BBC. Keep saying Trump says autism “no good”, but never point out that he’s not a doctor nor scientist and does not appear to have been informed by any Doctor or scientist, let alone any decent research (there ain’t none)

Dozens of people are trapped under rubble in Gaza City as deadly Israeli attacks intensify and ground forces advance.

Please know that this is Trump scaremongering. There is no good scientific evidence linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism. A 2024 Swedish study of 2.4 million births found no relationship whatsoever between exposure to paracetamol in utero & subsequent autism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and has autism. Elon Musk supported Donald Trump. Donald Trump owes his presidency to autism. Thanks Tylenol. www.axios.com/2022/04/15/e...

Fun fact….autism was identified in 1911. Tylenol was invented in 1955. Saying Tylenol causes autism is utter bullshit.

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

Ah The Cons at it again..

Some horrific UK flags misinformation being pushed in rabbit holes. My golly Musk and TikTok and YouTube are terrible for this country! How do I even respond to this?

@katieal.bsky.social This is our 33rd displacement in the north is beyond words The bombing roars above me, the sky is red with fire I feel death creeping closer with me I’m exhausted from fear, hunger, and pain I’m calling out from beneath the bombs Be with me

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Project 2025 but instead it’s actually filled with good ideas like universal basic income, free college and a functioning healthcare system instead of a blueprint to reboot Nazi Germany 1933-1945

thank god my mother in law got me a carrot sharpener while overseas. my carrots were so blunt before

The Canadian govt should look at adopting similar legislation bbc.com/news/article...

I can’t imagine anyone taking a medical advice from this guy.

To be honest if this country voted in Farage I’d be leaving anyway!

Just signed the European Declaration of Conscientious Objection to end academic collaborations and bilateral agreements with Israeli institutions complicit in severe violations of international law. Colleagues in European academia are more than welcome to do the same (via the link below)!

Query whether anyone who works at HHS or in the White House sold J&J short.

You think we’re gonna see bleach style folic acid overdoses now?

He would say. Cause hes such an expert in this stuff. All those years at medical school and getting his PhD… oh..

One of those “Doh! Why didn’t we think of it earlier?” moments

Gotta love using Ecosia free search engine "financed 3,559,033 trees in July!" £1,776,302 Dedicated to climate action, £1.3mill! Trees £396,236 money aside for reserves and to fund climate impact projects, such as solar power plants or regen agri blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-finan...

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Good work Jenny Jones Green Party Baroness on BBCradio4 just now arguing against airport expansion. Do wish she had said people can take the train to Amsterdam if we tax flights not trains; & that climate chaos heats Oceans 🌊 which can kill 🐳 🐬 🐠 . @zackpolanski.bsky.social @hugotagholm.bsky.social

Amazing footage. Pre pearl harbour and the US entering WWII?

A very helpful quick summary and aligns with much other thinking

The Trump regime is seeking "regime change in Europe" former Chatham House director Robin Niblet tells the New York Times. This American-led global far right movement is turning into the Comintern of our times, warns Dutch historian @luukvmiddelaar.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/w...

Disappointed that New Zealand did not join in with this move, but hopefully it will come during the UN General Assembly meetings in the coming days 🇳🇿🇵🇸

This fucking guy. Never forget Cambridge Analytica. He allowed our data, personal lives, photos of our babies to be harvested by a data mining agency that corrugated targeted propaganda to influence our elections. See who benefitted in 🧵 How many people do you know were influenced by lies?

#WATCH | The moment Head of the Palestinian mission to the UK, Husam Zomlot, watches Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s televised address announcing Britain’s formal recognition of the State of Palestine, 108 years after the Balfour Declaration and nearly two years into Israel’s genocide on Gaza

They can't drag this Kirk stuff out that much longer and then one way or another something's gotta give. I really think we're reaching a breaking point

They just said it “Charlie Kirk is a martyr”. Awful someone is shot, and yet, the racism….

If you are feeling frightened or disoriented, you have every reason. Yet we have learned several lessons about how to deal with this tyrant, and we must practice them. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-e69

Very good quick summary:

If you meet people who don't understand why you say that Charlie Kirk was a hate preacher, please send them to view the mountainous archive of videos at Media Matters - in his own words, said from his hateful chest. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

Chris Murphy: "The question today is when is enough enough for Republicans. I was very glad to see Ted Cruz stand up and say what is simply true -- it is unconstitutional and deeply immoral for the president to jail or silence his political enemies."

Our problem is not yet taxing capital gains at least as much as hard work in jobs, and not closing other tax loopholes many of the wealthiest exploit others with. For how the UK can better tax the wealthiest see @danneidle.bsky.social
