The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance. The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year. In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person £14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit If you can't afford that you are dying

@plodinnotts.bsky.social Is this your place?

You're a Labour MP and you want to keep governing? Your options are actually be leftwing and do leftwing things and tell leftwing stories, or, get absolutely obliterated.

Yaassss...Scottish Reform Leader Malcolm Offord, got his arse well and truly kicked✊🤣

David Attenborough is 100. He’s a beloved natural historian & defender of wildlife but let’s be honest, this was a woefully misconceived project on every level.

The lesson of these results is clear: it is time to bring Peter Mandelson back into government.

On days like today I just gotta meme. It really didn't have to end this way.

Yeah, I guess I could probably take my cat in a fight but strangely, I don’t want to harm her. Anyway, it sure is a mystery why the world’s most poisonously vicious and reactionary media outlets have not destroyed Nigel Farage, who owes everything he has to their patronage.

I suspect something along the recent lines of: Labour voters switch to Reform = 'We hear you and dear God do we share your concerns' Labour voters switch to Green = 'You are being very silly and should just GROW UP'

Not "stunned" or "amazed" or "baffled"? The Onion's journalism is slipping.

With @romanpalace.bsky.social apparently being told to knock it off, it quietly seems @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social had also gone dark. If this is a wider trend in the museum space it's to be regretted. Museums don't just exist to hold stuff. They tell stories about the past - and ourselves now.

Last general election I was out canvassing. We stopped outside no. 4 and the organiser said "Now the Firths live here..." I said instantly "So they are the Firths of Forth? Firths of Forth? Geddit?" Crickets. Not even a twitch of a smile.

So, Kollegas. Falls die nächste Betriebsversammlung mal wieder gähnend langweilig sein sollte… Immer dran denken:👇

As it's May Day: There is a long tradition of cooperation, solidarity and collective action in history - including the Middle Ages & rural society! Sure, there was also plenty of conflict, but daily life was, more often than not, characterised by people working together 🧵1/14 #skystorians #MayDay

People of Peckham (and surrounding areas)! I’ll be at lovely Review Books on Bellenden Road on the eve of Weds 6 May talking with Philly Malicka about thrillers, what they are, how to write them, writing, motherhood and more. All welcome, including dogs. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/thrilling-...

@dreadships.bsky.social Seen this? 🤣

Apologies for barging into the timeline with a request that's more suited to classified ads in a local newspaper, but I don't suppose I know anyone who owns either a Yamaha Montage 6 or a Nord Electro 6D 73 keyboard? (It has to be one of these two very specifically.) *shuffles off*

oh, if they do it it's cute, but if *I* fall asleep amongst a dozen bottles of rum & bourbon, I "have a problem"

No, you're crying.

Me (being caught in bed with an optical illusion): it’s not what it looks like.

Reform UK's Rupert Lowe, "Women all over Britain feel intimidated, harassed and abused. This unacceptable behavior is committed by young foreign men" Labour's Bridget Phillipson, "You have mistreated two female members in a way, and I quote, Mr. Speaker in a way that seemed to amount to harassment"

@janetanderson.bsky.social Is this something you might know?

Finding it hard to believe that Israel would take something that was stolen from someone else and just call it their own...

@themerl.bsky.social HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?!

“We found two of the worst men in politics to replace one woman who was competently doing her job”

Brilliant turnout for Reform's fuel protest in London.

When she performs, Kylie has huge letters spelling out her full name on stage. In between tours I store them for her, in an outbuilding by my house. She's just asked me to get them out again & I've managed to get the K, Y, L, I, E, M, I, N, O, G and E out but... I just can't get U out of my shed.

"I'm still punk" I say as I strap the blood pressure cuff to my arm for my morning readings.

Anyone need a single train ticket from Liverpool to London at 20:43 tomorrow (Sunday)? Boost so it can get used 😉

Can't believe there might be a place in AI for massively overconfident self-proclaimed geniuses who believe you can data-logic your way through any complex societal problem if you just reject complexity, empathy, morality and legality as obsolete weaknesses.

Giraffes, not whales

"If you don't support us doing mean things to foreigners, then the people with genuine concerns will vote for Farage, and then REALLY bad things will happen to foreigners." It is as cowardly as it is insulting from Labour. And that is why. 13/13
