Labour won't redistribute wealth from billionaires. But they will seize belongings from those fleeing war and persecution. Absolutely disgusting. Asylum seekers are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity just like anybody else. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is not the Labour I voted for. They come across as a wolf in sheep's clothing. I doubt this household will vote for them ever again.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Mark O’Connell: You’re not on the right side of history – there is no right side "There is no right side to a nightmare except awakening from it"

Who exactly does this bit of legislation help? Not the abused person, not the children involved. This is horrendous, on the whole the only people who will benefit are perpetrators of violence. Is this really what the UK has come to?

Simon Harris has suddenly used “the left” as a dismissive boogeyman three times in a handful of weeks (that I’m aware of) and if I were a journalist I’d be questioning the reasoning behind that a bit more than they are

🌱 What a stunner!!! #GardeningFeed

A flower on one of our camellia sinensis plants. Of course, if you are growing them to harvest the leaves to produce tea then plants should not be allowed to flower. 🌱🍵☕

Hello lovely phone family. I hope you're all well. Just popping by to let you know today is #WorldKindnessDay 🥰 Let's keep sprinkling the good stuff around. Have an amazing day everyone and of course always #HaveCourageAndBeKind ♥️

Just opened! 🌱

Marty says it's world kindness day. It would be so good if kindness is shown by bringing true peace to the world. Stop the bombing, stop the starvation, stop the destruction of the planet. It is the big things that matter. 🌍🌎🌏☮️

Our land drain system isn't coping very well with all the water that came out of the sky last night 🌧️💦, and the forecast is for even more of the wet stuff today. Oh and the garden is now bog apart from the raised beds. The pond is overflowing.

🤍🐈‍⬛❤️❤️ Yes

When I walk into the GP surgery I am on high anxiety alert, so when I get home I am a quivering jelly. All I went for was to have my bloods taken, oh and the nurse took my blood pressure, which understandably was a little high. That's why I avoid doctors. 💉🩸🩺🥼 Have to return for results next week🙀

“The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.” - John Greenleaf Whittier.🌱

Just come in for a drink from sorting my dahlias out for the winter, 15 down 3 more to go. Next year must use a better pen to write the labels, half of them currently do not have their names on them. When they flower next year will relabel them.🌱🏵️

I dreamt that someone had left a box of puppies on our porch! Now wouldn't that be a thing! 🤔 🐕🐾

I just signed the campaign calling to ban politicians hosting shows on UK news channels. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/ban-poli...

Who'd have guessed that my daughter would be able to supervise street works - she got her bit of paper today, actually who three years ago would have believed she would be working in the sewage industry. She is working for the social good. 💩

The Taoiseach is telling world leaders at COP30 that they need to speak honestly to the public about climate change. Meanwhile his government is sitting on the land use review because he has no intention of telling farmers about the scale of change needed share.google/7UFl4nDNHxip...

#SpeirGorm THREAD: Hi Dee, My name is Philip O'Connor and I'm an Irish journalist living and working in Stockholm, Sweden. I'm writing to you as I still observe a lot of the news reporting from Ireland, and it strikes me how ill-prepared Irish media seem to be when the far right ...

Just realised it is bonfire night in the UK. Can't remember when I last heard a firework. When we lived in Bedford it was relentless between now and the New Year.🎆🧨

In some traditions, November’s #FullMoon is the Mourning Moon, and marks a time of reflection and release. Often the last full moon before the #WinterSolstice, it invites us to grieve what is lost, honour what has been & clear space for renewal in the year ahead. #WednesdayWisdom

Happy hump day lovely phone family, and happy #NationalStressAwarenessDay 🤗 Please be kind to yourselves and each other. Apologies for not being around this week or replying, I'll try and catch up later! Have a fabulous day everyone 😘 #HaveCourageAndBeKind ♥️

Found out today that we should be on the Special Services Register for our electricity supply. We find it hard to believe that we are considered ancient. He is 84 and I 74. He is also being treated for cancer. No one seeing him would believe either of those things. 😫👴

I am meeting a friend for coffee ☕ on Friday. She tells me she is looking forward to talking to someone sane! I think she has forgotten who I am 🤣😸.

I come here and have a look from time to time. I do not feel at home.😢 When I left the other place when it was bought up by that awful person, I belonged to a lovely little crowd. We interacted in such a supportive way. It's not the same here.😢

You can’t buy your way out of the terrible situation we have all created

I miss the days when we used to call this sort of thing, LIES. "Misinformation" makes it sound like badly aimed information. You know where you stand with LIES.

Máire Ní Bhrádaigh from IPSC introducing our demonstration at RTÉ yesterday, as part of the European Day of Action on Eurovision. We welcome RTÉ's decision not to participate in Eurovision if apartheid Israel is in it, and we urge them to hold firm on it. #BanIsrael #FreePalestine

Excitement! Authors' copies have just arrived. So pleased for Nigel. Publication date is the 25th November #books #tea 📚☕

Can we focus more on how victims of sexual violence continue to be failed today and less on the drama of the Royal Family? Then perhaps some good might come from this?

No tricks, just talons this Halloween #FlyDay! 🎃👻 📷 Ron Macdonald

Happy #NationalCatDay my lovely phone family. Me and Soxie wish you and your feline companions a most magical day ♥️🐈‍⬛🐈♥️ #HaveCourageAndBeKind 🥰

Today I have been on this planet for 74 years. Gifts - a stack of books, chocolates, pears, photo frames so we can finish our family wall. So many lovely messages from all my loved ones. OH is cooking dinner, it smells divine. ♏🎂🎉📚🍫🍽️ Curled up in front of the fire as it is wet and windy here

🚨EMERGENCY DEMO - TOMORROW - 6PM Yesterday, Israel resumed bombing Gaza killing over 100 people. Despite these ceasefire violations, Britain continues to give its support. Join us outside Downing Street to demand full sanctions on Israel, including a two-way arms embargo.

Off to the dentist, again. A fortnight ago I was told my teeth were fine. Friday evening a filling fell out! 😩. Why do these things happen at the beginning of a bank holiday weekend? #dentist 💉🦷😣

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

We are hearing some very troubling stories about trans exclusion, supported by the University, at Cambridge. We are making contact with affected societies and individuals and will fiercely protect the legal rights of trans students to live with respect and dignity.

Thought I would give Monty Don's Spanish Gardens another go. Have to turn it off because of the person who keeps talking about what Monty Don is doing, it is awful and takes away from the actual program. #BBC you have lost your way.

The Mamdani Moment

Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.

I don't support fox hunting. Can you also sign the petition and share to make it clear to our government that we want fox hunting banned once and for all?

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.
