Is change possible? I so want to believe the Greens can break through.

Translated out of Quaker, this is the sound of Arnold Schwarzenegger reloading a shotgun one-handed. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

"You can say what you like, I don’t care, because that’s what free speech is," Nigel Farage has just told the House Judiciary Committee, about three hours after his party banned me from covering its conference this weekend.

So Donald Trump, President of The United States is allegedly on The Epstein List. This totally SHOCKED me. Never in a million years did I think Donald Trump was a member of The Beatles. 😳

Privatisation broke our water system. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

Ian McMillan's early stroll tweet. The breeze is rushing somewhere; it must be late. Scattered blossom like spring’s confetti. Each step crosses the border to the next step. A moving car’s number plate could be an optician’s mobile chart. I think I glimpse the lost hour in the shadows.

Thinking of all those, like me, crying as they remember their mums . #mothersday

The UK today

Some of the companies that didn't pay the minimum wage to some of their workers, until chased by regulators. Staffline Recruitment, Rank Group, Mitchells & Butlers, Easyjet, Greggs, Moss Bros, WH Smith, Lloyds Pharmacy, Marks and Spencer, Argos. Any forget to pay the right amount to bosses?

Gareth Southgate, "True success is how you respond in the hardest moments" "It's about having the belief and resilience to persevere" "Not everyone will win trophies. Not everyone will be at the top of their field" "But everyone can live a life where they constantly try to improve"

This quote should be everywhere...especially in schools...I note he went to Croydon FE college according to their social media .

Let’s honour the memory of Hossam Shabat. Take his courage, his clarity, his determination - and keep speaking up and keep fighting until Palestine is free. 🇵🇸

World poetry day

@jackmonroe.bsky.social Thought of you as I munched anxiously through last half of my current John Grisham . Did you ever finish them all ?

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me. Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits? There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.

#booksky #Grisham was so engrossed in my current read that missed my train stop and had 20 min walk back to where I was going . Plenty of time to mull over what might happen next . Camino Winds . Happiness is .

It’s been an interesting week at the Covid Inquiry. Here’s a summary of @bylinetimes.bsky.social reports this week 🧵⤵️ First up ⤵️ 🚨 Michael Gove Told Officials to Buy 10,000 Ventilators From Dyson During Pandemic in ‘Affront’ to Procurement Rules ⤵️ bylinetimes.com/2025/03/05/m...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I never thought my orthopaedic shoes would work. But I stand corrected.

There will never be equality without government intervention and even then it will only be a partial move forward. Why do workers have to claim benefits so that the govt subsidises companies that do not pay a living wage?

GSK to increase CEO pay packet from £10.6m to £21.6m a year. Corporate wealth is generated by workers. Will their pay increase by the same rate? No chance. Govt tells workers wage rises are inflationary. But hikes in exec pay, dividends, share buybacks are OK It is class war. archive.ph/3Q5ht

Meanwhile the House of Commons Grifter in Chief Nigel Farage is up to his usual money grabbing tricks Reform UK Ltd eh?

Well what do you know. Reform UK's former leader in Wales has just been accused in court of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

That's a risk we'll just have to take

Happy Monday!

Can anyone explain how a .bsky.social post can exist from 6th January 2021? Also the XI logo on the post?

Was only thinking this yesterday...wish it wasn't so .

Word of the day is one I may have mentioned (frequently): a ‘snaccident’ is the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits.

#PMQs This is Keir Starmer our Prime Minister acting in a blatantly sexist manner. His crude mockery of the fragrant Kemi Badenough is misogynistic & discriminatory. He MUST resign after this disgusting outburst against a respected & much loved woman! 😡

#booksky Just finished John Grisham's The Exchange ...had to speed up as someone had reserved it. Wow..the tension was bad for me: 2 Mars bars in an hour as the denouement played out ...eek, recommended.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Signed and sharing, important not to give up !

Just signed this , please spread the word

@bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social still simping for Zionists. Keep showing this image of Khan Younis, with 'market stall' type structures, thus suggesting it's 'not too badly affected'.

Beautiful pink - clouded sky as I crossed the river in London just now and LIGHTER ...

Every year this is unchanged

FTSE 100 CEO gets more in less than 3 days than average worker pay for a yr. Median CEO pay £4.22m, 113 times average worker. Nothing to do with performance. Shareholder objections ignored. Need worker-elected directors on boards. Let workers vote on exec pay. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

Former Tory home secretary Suella Braverman claims: Italy has built a wall on its land border with Turkey. She went to see it. Drones patrol the wall leading to the number of migrants crossing to fall. Problem: Two countries don't share a land border. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sue...

What a present giver he is!!

Britain taxes the poorest more than the richest. This is why we are in such a mess. A failure to tax those who can afford it most. The rich leaching off the poor. We need to stop letting the rich make the rules. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

BREAKING: Concerning reports are emerging of a refugee family giving birth to a baby in a manger. I understand an urgent deportation flight has been booked to stop them ruining everyone's Christmas x
