"The event in St Petersburg was addressed by Mark Collett, a longstanding far-right activist and founder of Patriotic Alternative, which attempted to exploit the summer of unrest outside asylum hotels in Britain." Just in case anyone wonders about the 'patriotism' and what 'alternative' it favours.

No kidding. Farage has got bitter inadequacy written all over him. Which is why it’s deeply irresponsible that our media avoids challenging him. He can’t cope with it. Anyone wanting the kind of power he’s grubbing for, needs to be able to withstand scrutiny. Not have a massive strop and huff off.

🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK. Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer. Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Ooof, that last line, LOL!

Trump is threatening to send the National Guard into Baltimore. Where’s Stringer Bell when you need him?

Budapest turned out to be a huge success - in spite of Orban’s ban. Queer and non-queer Hungarians turned up massively to defend the freedom and the right to love. Freedom wins if we turn up to fight for it. #BudapestPride

“This day weighs heavy in the hearts of millions in the UK who knew that leaving the EU would be catastrophic, not just for our economy and living standards, but in validating an ugly wave of populism and nativism which continues to this day." @pimlicat.bsky.social @bremaininspain.com

G7 leaders need to respond to the reality that the United States under Donald Trump no longer wishes to work with them on many of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

Having looked at this post from Alan Regenberg, I could not help feeling that the questions ought to be asked of others who might not be Barnard Employees, so I offer this modified version to be used by anyone to whom it applies.

Select all that apply.

To save Elon Musk time, money and effort, I offer the following questionnaire intended also to save Trump time, money and effort:

@sturdyalex.bsky.social Reminded me of your writing about your beloved Mama. youtu.be/LaCP7ss01r8?...

Attended this morning’s HoC debate on second reading of private member’s CAN Bill (Climate And Nature). Debate resumed after HMG statement on defence contract with Rolls Royce to support nuclear sub fleet, aka Unity contract.

It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need! #DigitalEU

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme” 👏👏👏

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme” 👏👏👏

What a brilliant line from the minister at Janey Godley’s funeral “Janey Godley died having forgiven everyone, but she still believed to her dying day that Trump is a country mile away from being anyone who should ever have come near to power.” A perfect goodbye to a great lady RIP Janey x

From all these politicians against assisted dying, I hear little ideas for how they will help those living in torture.

Thank you for posting this story, Nicholas. When it comes to unspeakable tragedy, it seems that members of the public are encouraged to empathise with victims who are fabulously rich rather than with the destitute. Perhaps it’s a less uncomfortable projection.

Gasping with laughter. @bydonkeys.bsky.social latest prank is timed BEAUTIFULLY to coincide with Truss saying she wants Trump to win ‘cos “it’s the economy stupid” She sure is stupid. And didn’t find it funny at all…unlike the audience. Bravo! youtu.be/nvTtr5JfoMo?...

Coffey didn’t know the capital of Rwanda, said flooding was because rain was coming from the wrong direction and was part of the most useless govt of our lives. High-powered role up for grabs? Pick me! Astounding. Unfathomable self-belief cancelling out any ability to reflect.

Thanks to @balakunua.bsky.social, since the beginning of this year I’ve been linked with a Kyiv resident keen to improve their English. I regularly express worry about their safety. Last week was the first time they expressed the same level of concern for my personal safety here in the UK.
