Temu Lord HawHaw doing down our country again.

Got up from the UK to watch the Seahawks. What is it with this need for a national anthem and worship of the military before a match? Not a great look after an illegal invasion. Just kick the game off, FFS.

What an incredible shame.

I’m old enough to remember when the US published a security doctrine that claimed the EU didn’t have freedom of expression.

Quoted here we have Sharron Davies talking about an FoI filed by the Women's Rights Network. None of the people who committed these crimes were trans. Not one. 4.8% were cis male staff.

This is seriously worrying - do read the whole thread

Once again, bike lanes are good for business

Sorry, my fault. Walked back into the room from getting my son to bed just to see that goal. #dcfc #dcfcfans

🚨WOW! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 47,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 50,000 tonight. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Hi @jonathandaviesmp.bsky.social If your government is going to be cutting the range of bikes available under salary sacrifice schemes, I assume you will be closing other loopholes? Zero VAT on flights seems like an obvious start, especially for private jets. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If New York can sort out free at point of use healthcare, we will welcome them as one of the great European cities. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If the UK government got its act together and had passport control on exit as well as for entry this nonsense wouldn’t happen. And we could use it to ensure the tax exiles are not overstaying their tax free day allowance.

If you are fortunate enough to have a lot of money, be more Dolly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollywo...

This is an even more thorough job than the British Army managed.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

This is the guy who got paid millions of dollars to explain why Meta shouldn’t put protections for kids into its apps or stalk its users in case it hurt their advertising revenue.

At Sheffield station on a rare working trip away trip away from home. Not one electrified line. Our country is a developing one. Still burning diesel to power trains.

Jenrick in a racism to the bottom

London resident here. There is no Sharia law. No one is asking for Sharia law. The mayor has cleaned up the air, improved social housing and transport, and all with 24 hour armed guards because people who don't live in London keep lying about him and inciting people over here to want him killed.

For those who pay attention to UK politics, the Liberal Democrats and #LDConf A bunch of TERFs tried first thing this morning to impose a transphobic policy on our internal elections (they wanted to exclude trans women from the gender balance criteria) They failed, spectacularly.

Where do you even start? Outsourcing cybersecurity rather than hiring the right people to manage the critical infrastructure. Large software systems with “upgrade projects” rather than continual improvement. This should be a case study in over-reliance on others. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Dutch late night TV has its take

This. As ever, the left must listen to the right’s “valid concerns” and accommodate their free speech, while the right uses that free speech to call for violence and hatred.

Use a projection to call for the overthrow of the democratically elected government: Fine Use a projection to show the president with one of his friends: Malicious As ever, the right are on the side of the snowflakes.

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

Talking with my son about the death of Charlie Kirk and the boy mentioned that this man was a role model to some of his friends. Rather horrifying given the toxic masculinity this man spread. Who are the positive role models for teenage boys, giving a positive view of what being a man can be?

But Angela Raynor…. How the newspapers hounded her after ignoring Alexander fucking Johnson’s flagrant rule breaking and money grubbing behaviour for years. And he’s still at it, of course. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Somehow, Reform is still held as a serious political party rather than a collective of nutters who have unfortunately coalesced into a single voting group.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

I cannot for the life of me fathom why Labour looked at the vote of millions who voted to get rid of the Tories because they were fed up of Tory cruelty, and decided that the real vote winning strategy was “Tory, but red”.

And for everyone loving Active Travel, this is glorious. So much space for cycling to the match; Malmö was the same.

And now for Match #2. Brøndby vs FC Midtjylland. Proper old school stadium. Right behind the goal too. Would be dangerous if either team had Jerry Yates! #RamsOnTour #dcfc

Busy morning in Copenhagen with the boy. Time to take a break and watch the mighty Derby County on RamsTV before heading out for the evening. COYR! #dcfc #dcfcfans

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop? #windows95

Reform hate democracy and scrutiny, part 94.

A little reminder for everyone, particularly our friends in the Labour government:

Tagging my MP. I wholeheartedly endorse this. @jonathandaviesmp.bsky.social

If Labour aren't prepared to criticise Farage, allow me: Reform are cunts.

Seriously, @jonathandaviesmp.bsky.social, your party is utterly spineless. Reform fans won’t vote for you anyway. What your party is doing here is making the people who elected you despair. Stand up for what is right. The UK benefits from migration and being British is doing what is fair and kind.

This was absolute genius.

Fucking awesome. With a few blasts of red spray paint you can turn the English flag into the Dead Kennedys logo As the band said: Nazi punks, fuck off!

If your concern is that a white person who pleaded guilty received a sentence within the guidelines maybe you *want* two tier justice.

Someone hacked a variable message sign to say "BAN CARS" on Green Bay Road in Wilmette, IL.

This should happen to all the Fascists. Let them eat their hate.

A semi regular reminder that Dolly Parton is totally ace

We have to be purposeful about ending the use of fossil fuels because they’re not going to end themselves anytime soon. While wind and solar are cheaper, they are not as profitable. Therein lies the problem.
