It's the autumnal equinox, which means you need a witch who knows what's what and who knows how to make proper soup. 🍲👍 #CosyFantasy #GlundaTheVegWitch🥕🧙‍♀️ books2read.com/GlundaTheVeg...

I'm stunned to hear that #R4Today presenters do in fact have teeth in interviews; they're currently going for the Libdems. I'm surprised because whenever I hear them interview Reform they provide no challenge at all and come across as complete cheerleaders for them

Hmmmm I'd have chosen a different emphasis with the post; ...will raise a tremendous amount of money to 'extricate' the social media app... Let's face it, this is being done to put TikTok firmly into US control so the algorithm is theirs to do with as they please

I'm sat on a train to Hastings to support our councillors there! Spent the day in London, meeting with a new friend, then out to welcome our new Green councillors in Barking & Dagenham, visited residents and business owners to undertake the concerns they are facing Another full-on day tomorrow!

Thank you to whoever did this to counter the racist graffiti in the bus stop

Trump has dragged the US to the abyss and Nigel Farage would do the same to Britain. Here’s how to stop him www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

TIL that change in sensitivity to smells is another 'symptom' of #perimenopause I've been trying to track down the bad smell that no-one else can detect for 4 days; washing everything, mentally blaming the dogs, steam cleaning the carpet before work, leaving the room. It's just my hormone levels!

“Aberbaijan” which as everyone knows is between Aberaeron and Aberystwyth. But surprising they were at war with Albania but I guess those things happen.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

What's worse than having paedophile Epstein's mate President Trump come for a state visit? Having paedophile Epstein's mate as President #StopTrump

The 'Stop Trump March in London..is big

Apparently this is a malicious communication

The sad reality is that through his incompetence and cack-handed meddling, Trump has emboldened Netanyahu and Putin Art of the deal, my arse

We simply can't have this child of an apartheid state in South Africa & driver of violent ultra-polarisation in America trying to dissolve British anti-racism norms and to socialise us towards a more American approach of treating the threat & use of violence as a continuation of politics by other

No, that is not thunder you are hearing, it is in fact my tummy rumbling. And that Flash Gordon weapon noise? Also my tummy rumbling. No idea what's going on, but even the dog's afternoon nap is being interrupted!

Astonishing display of EU flags at the Last Night of the Proms, tonight. Made me feel proud to be European. 🇪🇺

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Pensions, productivity and the myth of the migrant “drain” – why Britain’s real crisis is ageing, not immigration. Another cracker from the Bear. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

What has the ECHR ever done for us?

Wow, this thread and responses

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

Good piece by Rowan Williams, pointing out that refugees are also "ordinary people" and that pride in your country should be "more than a sullen self-congratulation for just being where you are". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Quakers are doing exactly what all public services are legally allowed to do even if the EHRC wants to pretend they're not: say gender-based toilets are inclusive and for anyone bothered by that as a matter of belief, there are stand-alone cubicles that they are very free to use. 1/

"Farage’s concern for women is more than a hollow performance. It’s dangerous."

This absolutely applies to most of the UK press and media right now. I don't remember a time in my life when they have seemed so keen to promote a particular viewpoint and the person espousing it quite like we're seeing at the moment. Bollocks to anyone normalising Farage's brand of hatred

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

While relatively small gatherings of far-right protesters are reported as the start of some kind of national civil revolt, much larger protests on other issues are routinely ignored at best, and openly demonised at worst www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/anywhere-b...
