OK. Let's share, share, share this baby! Show it to anyone who says there is too much immigration, who witters on about migrants and "small boats". Net migration has DROPPED, but voters (thanks to the UK media and our politicians) think it is rising. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

“You boy, has Farage shouted ‘boring, boring!’ when asked about the £5M ‘donation’ yet?”

Disability can happen to anyone. It’s not a choice or a moral failing. It’s not a vacation. It’s a full time job. It’s begging for scraps. It’s being told you’re worthless. It’s being neglected by the medical system & abandoned by society.

NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

The only lasting way out of the fossil dependency is shifting electricity generation to renewables and nuclear. And electrifying the economy as rapidly as possible. We will present our electrification strategy before the summer. Electrifying Europe means making Europe more independent.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

A vote for Farage is a vote for Trump - and everything that entails: war with Iran, skyrocketing oil prices, a British version of ICE, imports of US chlorinated chicken, the erosion of democracy. “The biggest barrier to people voting Reform is Trump” - Luke Tryl www.ft.com/content/c07b...

Prepare for your mind to be blown. The oak trees that make up the Undercroft were felled in 1358. Their size and scale would suggest that they were at least 200 - 250 years old. Which means they were saplings only 50 years after the Norman Conquest in 1066. Mind. Blown. 🤯

Well Monday is off to a good start…. At 2.30am I fell out of bed and I am now at work desk with a body that is sure it’s been hit by a truck during the night. Thank you Gravity ! 🤣

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Controversial opinion but maybe allowing people to work in order to pay for an asylum claim? (it wouldn't seem as punitive, I know. This isn't about financing the asylum scheme, it's about being seen as tough on asylum. Blech)

The far-right's network war – exposed in @nafeez.bsky.social's Alt Reich – is rapidly accelerating. On 23 Sept, Ahmed joins Byline Times editor-in-chief @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social at Waterstones Gower St to unpack his explosive exposé. Tickets: www.waterstones.com/events/alt-r...

"Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties."

Oh HELL yes

Yesterday was our author @premeemohamed.com's birthday, and the best present BlueSky could give her would be to track down her fuzzy silver/grey feline-on-the-run Fiasco. Franca has been found thankfully, but Fiasco remains at large. If you're in the Edmonton area, please keep an eye out for him!🐾
