BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong." Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit. He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

Why are kids ‘on their phones all the time’ at school? How do so many not know how to use a ruler, an index, that you need water to make a watercolour painting? #Teaching #Schools www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Finally!! [slow handcap] We effing told you so from the start 😡

Surprised it wasn’t full of pins tbh 📍

Made us laugh out loud!

🚨BREXIT BUDGET🚨 Daisy Cooper MP: "There is a £90 billion hit to treasury income as a result of the Brexit deal." "Brexit has been a disaster for our country. It has been a disaster for our economy."

Are members of the public allowed to complain to the parliamentary standards committee because I'm of the opinion that Badenoch really isn't representing any members of the public except herself & her offensive performance yesterday shouldn't go unchallenged.

I’m tired of people griping about paying a bit more tax. If this is you - find out how much health insurance would cost for you, or by how much your wages would fall if your employer paid it. Add in the costs of excess for any claims you might have made, oh yes, and the costs of any drugs you take

Yes, horrors like Gove wheedle their way in. The whole system needs replacing! #Corruption #HouseOfLords #CorruptPolitics #BoughtPower www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Essential reading (whole thread) - you’d rather be working than on PIP! If you think otherwise, it is because you have never had to have it or help someone apply for it! #PIP #Disability #ChronicPain

Caught lobbying for cash or bullying in Parliament? You can still return to the House of Lords - for life. No real consequences. No accountability. Sign now to kick rule-breakers out for good. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

Gove, knows where all the bodies are buried, but then, he probably out them there. 🙄

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

Day 2125 of #Brexit: ‘New analysis indicates Brexit is costing the UK up to £90 billion annually in lost tax revenues. The average Briton is estimated to be between £2,700 and £3,700 worse off in terms of GDP per head.’ www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

I think he meant to say “Never tried to help anybody”. Nasty, arrogant, self-centred little spiv, without a compassionate bone in his body.

Just so upsetting and frustrating for the poor family, and Nazanin’s mental suffering must have been unbearable. How can we ever trust Governments and anyone in power? #Prisoner951

Sad to hear this news 😢 A great singer, so many wonderful songs. RIP

I just found out about this ! I am incandescent! What I will do is watch VERY closely to see if anyone DARES to let him off the hook 🪝! It’s a prison-able offence !!! Ppl will be BEYOND LIVID if he’s let off! People will LOSE whatever grains of respect are left!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I recently posted about having genetic moderate hearing loss & wearing hearing aids (not visible). It is surprising how one can still get away with mocking this disability, especially as it is not just older people (apparently we are fair game for mocking - I’m over 60!). From a recent article:

Just so we're clear. Bombing or starting a war with Venezuela without Congressional approval would be an illegal act. Military officers are within their rights to refuse such an order.

Another Boris Johnson massive cock up & then abdication of responsibility.

Dear Bluesky, www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners. We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

Twitter’s new location transparency feature unleashes questions about origins of MAGA accounts The function, which shows that a slew of MAGA-branded accounts are apparently based outside the U.S., also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was created.

Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference. Earlier a vocal Scottish independence campaigner was outed as an Iranian account. Then there’s this pro Trump one:

Up to 7m extra working-age people could be denied minimum standard of living in retirement if UK state pension triple lock is ditched. Neoliberals squeeze wages and call for real cuts to pension. Thousands will die prematurely. State pension must not be less than the minimum wage archive.ph/UaHIw

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

The Bishop of Norwich has taken aim at the Home Office’s asylum reforms, warning they’ll make integration harder and deepen division. A rare intervention – and a sharp one. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Nov 25th 2020, my diary: 'The Chancellor si giving away huge sums of money. The country will be in debt for the rest of my lifetime. Heck. 696 people have died of Covid 19. Predictions of 2 million + unemployed next year.

Beware folks. We need to combat this HARD. #FakeChristians #Evil #Facist

Whenever you hear anyone spouting racism, and spreading misinformation: this what they are desperately trying to deflect attention from. The billionaires are the real problem.

Today is Ask Her To Stand Day, celebrated each year on 21 November to commemorate the Qualification of Women Act 1918 — the law that first allowed women to stand for election. We’ve seen real progress since then, with women now making up around 40% of MPs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuVr...

We all know what he will do, don’t we? And it won’t be ‘the decent thing’. Lazy, self-serving, power-hungry, entitled and greedy. Should be in prison. Loathe the man to the very roots of his hair. #CovidChaos #KillerJohnson

It never stops. The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies. “In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.” They make damn sure they get what they want. We get screwed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives. Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Do remember #AlzheimersSociety if you feel like donating to charity this Xmas. So many people suffering, & carers bearing v hard & sorrowful burdens. @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social

Only 37 per cent of the electorate voted for Brexit after a campaign shaped by misinformation. The real way that Britain can strengthen its national interest is by rebuilding trust with Europe and restoring the protection of jobs, trade and stability.

Today, Parliament debated child sexual abuse. Not a single Reform UK MP turned up. The party that constantly rants about “Pakistani" and immigrant gangs - yet when it comes to an actual Commons statement on child rape, they couldn’t be bothered. Hypocrisy doesn’t get more blatant than this.

Horrific. How has choking someone during sex become so normalised? Men, please don’t feel this is expected or ‘sexy’. Cant imagine enjoying not being able to breathe 😳https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/nov/18/women-describe-lasting-effects-choked-strangled-sex?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

To quote Tony Benn "The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows how they would treat the rest of us if they could get away with it"
