Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career. Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV. My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Man who hates everything else about Britain hates our schools too. Hardly news.

Con man of the people - 12 Jobs Farage Since the July 2024 election, Farage, via one job alone, earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM, yet you hear more about Starmer's £20,000 donkey field purchase

There’s a search tool to find pharmacies offering it on the NHS website. The first one I went into didn’t offer a private option, but the second one did. Boots also offer it nationwide in many branches, though it’s slightly more expensive. www.nhs.uk/nhs-services...

This is a genuine post to my fellow US Blueskyers 💙. Is there anyone on the ground in Missouri who know of any person or organisation who is involved with supporting immigration detainees in the state? This is with reference to my cousin who has been detained there since JULY 29th. DM me. 🙏 repost.

The bare-faced patronising cheek of the effing BBC!! Anyone with a few brain cells can work out they are rising high in the polls precisely because you keep giving them airtime 😤😡🤬 The BBC seems complicit in trying to bring the UK to its knees. It requires serious investigation.

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are 🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally 🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face 🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose #r4today

One very very lonely Tory voice on the letters page of The Times. Sorry, Robert. It’s too late. Your party has gone completely nuts. Driven mad by 14 years of failure, Farage and your monumentally stupid Brexit. You can ask them to put the petrol can down but they’re mesmerised by the fire.

Another lie, more racism, anti-immigration. Sickening. Glad formal complaint being filed.

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet. I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Now want a huge glass of red wine, watching Pernille and all her travails! She keeps having lovely glasses of wine. 🍷

Really enjoying “Pernille” on Netflix. But ironically it is bringing back troublesome memories of when the kids has occasional problems/falling outs at school etc and how that wrung my heart! I do find the kids’ language appalling though. Mine never swore at me, or really at all in my hearing. /

@libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk can the relevant MP please challenge and draw attention to this blatant lie by Tory MP about PIP? (Yes, sorry, you need to start doing the news broadcasters’ jobs for them as well as your own!) #LyingTory #NeverTrustATory #PIP

🚜 A poor deal for farmers. A rotten deal for the country. “Brexit was not principally about trade" - we know Michael we know... 🛠️ Let's fix this broken deal and get Britain building again. https://bit.ly/42YNQxG

Thanks, New Yorker

What an ignoramus Tice is! Desperately trying to be relevant. Surely nobody takes him seriously?

Been mad today - dashing from one errand/engagement to another. Now waiting to give blood. Thankfully the music is not too loud or raucous. Then a visit to the office. Be glad to get home! A evening Zoom mtg but not contentious, usually quite pleasant. Prep done for that. Roll on TV & sofa time!

Just one gang… Article by Sima Kotecha who’s not made the move over here yet sadly so I can’t give full credit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Laughed till I cried when shopping for socks on the Boots app just now. Seriously? 🤣🤣🤣

😡 The Government wants to ban repeated protests & jail those who defy them. Stand up for our democratic right to protest - sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Highly recommend this amazing online physio Will Harlow for excellent exercises, not too lengthy or difficult, for over 50s. Happened upon him when doing regular pilates & weights videos. But these are definitely worthwhile on top. Try the balance ones! #Exercise youtu.be/EQeGGkGcfFM?...

WTAF - what kind of country are we?? Happens all over UK. Disgraceful 😡 #Covid

Worth a read #Ageing #Image #Portrait www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

If only the public understood this! Why can’t they?? How can we get it through to them, when they read the likes of the Daily Heil & listen to GB News?

Powerful stuff.

This cracked me up! German logic vs English idiosyncrasies 😂🥰

Xx

FFS! 🤦‍♀️

Just so brilliant - “Pee Pee Eee” 🤣

Knew I was always right to be totally in love with Richard Gere! 😍

Words the under 30s don’t recognise: Sweetmeat Twaddle

Very much agree. Restricting qualification for the covid vaccine, free access to lateral flow tests, and closing the self-reporting stats collation service all seem like retrograde steps. Health advice messages feel like lip service,whilst trying to wish the problem away, without tackling it 🤷

Really sick to death of computer systems that are meant to make things quicker & easier causing so much aggro and taking SO LONG to do a simple transaction! Grrr 🤬

Know a few friends here in Somerset/Dorset who have Covid or symptoms 😳

In shocking: "most people want to eat competitively priced, good quality fresh food and don't care where it comes from or what Nigel Farage thinks" news.

If you read one thing today, read this www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

The British press has massively contributed to the ever presence of Farage in politics, even when he was an MEP. His is by far the one name people will remember when it comes to the hundreds British MEPs that ever sat in the European Parliament. That press has created a monster and keeps feeding it

“Farage “broke Britain" with Brexit and is now, outrageously, capitalising on the vast damage he caused” Article argues there’s no need to mention Reform’s racism as the Brexit shitshow is failure enough. But that had its roots in racism too. So let’s do both. app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

Have no doubt both the Tories and Reform don't make decisions for us, they make decisions for the big corporations that line their pockets. They are owned by the large gas and oil companies. bsky.app/profile/adam...

Hurrah! 🙌 At last.

We are at Labour conference, telling members about the impact of the proposed bathroom ban. It would devastate trans people’s lives, create unworkable business challenges, and alienate voters. This would be Labour’s legacy on LGBT+ rights for a generation. But it’s not too late for them to stop it.

Starmer's speech was merciless. It's time to make racists feel afraid again inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

OK, this was great. "If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of their colour of their skin… that people who lived here for generations, are our neighbours... if you say they should note be deported, we will fight you with everything we have."

I'm getting really really fed up at constant reassertion that welfare spending is "out of control" when it is the same as the average for the past few decades. One reason disability benefit costs have risen is because core support has fallen.
