Mihnea Cuibus @migobs.bsky.social on #Newsnight describes Denmark’s 2016 jewelry 💍 law & the message: “… in a very general sense refugees were not welcome in Denmark…” Shabana Mahmood is desperately courting Reform voters by apeing Denmark’s racist policies. What’s next? 🦷 Labour branded pliers?

I’ve never known anyone, far left or otherwise,advocate for no controls/ unfettered immigration as stated by @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social on #Newsnight

@pollybillington.bsky.social good performance on Newsnight - Labour need to get you on more things. Speaking fluently and with passion

Talk about trying to flog a dead horse to get reaction. Paddy O’Connell is awful #Newsnight

Glasman’s jumper gone from usual grubbiness at the cuffs to having a stain down the front #Newsnight

Barry Gardiner is right #Newsnight

A reminder of when the BBC reversed Orgreave footage

Any odds on Dame Louise Casey for DG of the BBC?

Yesterday = roofing repair of £2100 Today= 13 yr old car MOT & service #NervousAF

Zia Yusuf slow blinks & twitching eye = tired. He’ll quit citing exhaustion again #Newsnight

Goldie & The Gingerbreads #TOTP2

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

“Very hard IQ test”

Sarah Pochin due to condemn @britishathletics.bsky.social for selecting relay teams that she feels do not represent her.

#Netflix A House of Dynamite; an acronym-laden portrayal of US response to a nuclear launch from an unknown source.Sudden ending after re-hashing the same time period from 4 perspectives. Unless desperate to fill 2 hours/be scared at how Trump & Hegseth would act, avoid.

It might not make the ‘6’ tonight, but in our world this is big news. Very welcome reforms that address a key weakness in Britain’s defences against dirty money entering our economy. This puts the government firmly on the front foot ahead of next year’s international illicit finance summit. 👏

Would have been better having the comedian guy hosting Newsnight

⚡️First Lady Melania Trump says her representative has been working directly with Putin’s team to reunite Ukrainian children with their families.

Motivation for Swedish death cleaning

I wouldn’t have thought about booking to see country music live but enjoying the #GrandOleOpry at the Albert Hall on BBC2

Fecking #StormAmy or rather the series of silly decisions it has prompted my husband to make in attempting to get back to Chippenham from Aberdeen last night🙄

UKpolitics is being framed around far right agendas & feels like our media has been itching to move us on to this. Like we must follow some global far left/far right narrative to keep them excited. it’s not science - we don’t HAVE to accept this. Challenge OFCOM We need a review of coverage!

Rory!!!

Tie awarded, Europe start 12-5 up #RyderCup #TeamEurope

#RyderCup so clearly demonstrates the differences between Europe and the US

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York. Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️

I often find people who like to think is doesn’t happen here…that money in politics is harmless. I have news for you: Ex-Reform politician admits Russia-linked bribery charges www.bbc.com/news/article...

@pollymackenzie.bsky.social calling out BBC pandering to Reform 👏🏻. On a shallower note, make up on point

Non-productive morning - home network down since last night solved for now by changing port on switch; no hot water despite new boiler a month ago (seems to have been pressure problem), husband got covid, I’ve now got sore throat

@maitlis.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com youtube.com/shorts/aM_tY...

Bloody hell - if you’re out of the US and holder of an H-1B visa, won’t be let back in unless you’ve paid $100,000 after Sunday

There goes the First Amendment.

Bloody hell, been paying £49.50 per month for breakdown cover cos of auto renewal 😮 Revised price on calling them £18

Think I’ll continue with BBC2’s Maiden fest rather than watch the news

Fingers crossed for The Pitt - am on hour 13 & Noah Wyle leads a faultless cast

Retiral home for Tories instrumental in 14 years of declinel doesn’t exactly scream fresh political direction

Brit Tom Evans approaching finish of UTMB in first place!

UTMB weekend! CCC races today before main UTMB tomorrow. Spectacular scenery & grit on show even of you’re not that into running live.utmb.world?utm_source=r...

Well said @jennykleeman.bsky.social #ThePressPreview #SkyNews

The most dispiriting day

Chippenham mini roundabouts have had the St George’s cross sprayed on them;being celebrated as patriotic rather than vandalism which will cost local taxpayers in local online communities

Just as other EuropeanLeaders and Zelensky arrive. Russia bombs Ukraine. Threat of ballistic missiles is activated.

Thank goodness for @jennykleeman.bsky.social on #Skypapers as Anna Botting’s “devil’s advocate” role appears dangerously close to propagating the right wing narrative on immigration
