Meant to attach this / hence the reference to the shires

So the chap off top gear died, I am sure he was very nice & everything. But “he loved cars so much he called his 2 girls Mercedes & Mini”… I just know I wouldn’t have been called Mercedes… & I love Minis. 🤦‍♀️

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

LOVING Catherine Connolly ❤️❤️❤️ our new president in Ireland. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Four @ledbydonkeys.org activists arrested over the projection of a nine-minute documentary detailing Trump's links with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle during Trump's state visit have not been charged

The Tories can shout at me all they like, but the truth is their Brexit deal it is hurting our country and Labour won’t do anything about it. Today I urged the Prime Minister to actually fix it.

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

NEW: We need to talk about Russia. So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage. My personal newsletter on the story behind the story. Brexit, Trump, Russia & now...Nathan Gill. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Lots of flag-botherers over on Facebook now suddenly demanding the council step in to take these down www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Asking people to pay for goods would kill the shoplifting industry ...

Big piece in POLITICO asking about the independence of Ireland's process of appointing people to its Data Protection Commission. There is deep unease in Brussels about Ireland appointing a former Meta lobbyist as Meta's watchdog. Now questions about who was involved. www.politico.eu/article/big-...

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

So Kemi stands for a country where “everyone knows what a woman is”? Nice! That’s putting everyone in their place isn’t it. I am afraid life isn’t that simple sweetie. Not even in the U.K. 😖🤦‍♀️

Whereas stealing artists’ work is killing their industry, so…

In the past 24 hours, Pope Leo said: climate change is an emergency, Hegseth is a reckless warmonger, Trump's migrant cruelty is inhumane, & "pro-life" is more than just anti-abortion. Oops. MAGA really misunderstood this guy! (& there's nothing "conservative" in MAGA). #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

No surprise here at all: www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Sadiq Khan bringing Sharia Law to London like

"I had a campaign ready, I had groups throughout the country, we probably had 200 or 300 people dedicated to the campaign. We were ready to go."

A message to every Londoner, and anyone who talks our city down.

"Once you use ChatGPT, you don't want to think for yourself anymore" THAT IS A TERRIFYING SENTENCE

Eight years of DPC inaction. From our letter in May "I have repeatedly warned you since 2017 that your failure to engage with the RTB security issue creates acute risks to fundamental rights and national security."

In May we wrote to DPC Commissioners Des Hogan and Dale Sutherland to say "Should a significant national security incident now occur as a result of RTB data we will be obliged to make this correspondence public and clarify where responsibility lies." That day has arrived.

The Data Protection Commission should have stopped this. We told them how to in 2017. We showed them the evidence. We even took them to court. It refused to act.

We cooperated with RTE PrimeTime over the last year on this very significant story about RTB data exposing the movements of Irish people, including military and political personnel. Link to this morning's preview piece is here --> www.rte.ie/news/primeti...

Every 4 years Ireland's data protection "regulator" writes to the Irish Council for Civil Liberties to say their investigation into shady Real Time Bidding ad networks' surveillance of <everyone> is at a "mature" stage and its release is imminent And surveillance + sale of data to ANYONE goes on

If you're buying Tesla, you're funding Musk and his interference in UK politics. #BoycottTesla.

Some of you all need a little Ted Lasso reminder that doing the right thing is never the wrong thing.

We’ve all seen the letter from Donald Trump to the vile sex trafficker and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and the handwritten note from Lord Mandelson calling Epstein his “best pal”. Today I asked the PM what other compromising material the White House might have on the Ambassador.

I desperately want @cmatbaby.bsky.social to run for president. PLEASE will you run?

You don’t say.

Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.

I want to put all my money into shares of your inaccurate lethal climate-destroying plagiarism calculator.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

This perfectly articulates my thoughts every time I see another health tech innovator extol the virtues of Ai in relation to healthcare “efficiencies” on LinkedIn.

In case you missed it ... Here's Dominic Cummings admitting that it was illicit data mining and an online propaganda blitz after Jo Cox's muder (when both sides had agreed to stop campaigning) that brought about the Leave referendum win. We now know it was financed illegally too. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Congratulations to Netenyahu in managing to unite the Express and the Guardian in outrage.
