Farage votes against women’s rights, fair pay, secure jobs, while blaming the powerless and taking cash from overseas billionaires. Division serves the rich, not us. What we need: fairness, solidarity, equality. Also… one tomato, on a flag‑neutral tea towel. 🍅

I thought she was holding up her boobs.

Sometimes people’s humour and kindness bursts through the clouds of what’s going on. A dog walk in Wapping is all it took to remind me of our capacity to properly belly laugh with strangers. To see people hanging over walls to fuss a stray cat. The connections, the glints of mischief. ❤️London

“Come on, Keir – even right-wingers support the EU youth mobility scheme Post-Brexit plans that would let young Europeans live and work in the UK are such a no-brainer, even Reform voters back the idea – so when will this government come out in support, asks Mike Galsworthy”

This week GSK. a British Pharma announced they’ve dropped their DE&I targets. Shame on them. I’d boycott, but I think they sold off all their consumer brands.

Years ago, I watched Shoah, a 9 hr film, examining the Holocaust through interviews with survivors, perpetrators, and bystanders. How ordinary people coexisted with such horrors, exploring their justifications and inactions. A mix of ideology, fear, and opportunism. m.imdb.com/title/tt0090...

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

Because there's no need for trusted global news that isn't owned by an oligarch. No need at all.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Absolutely. Trump’s inauguration is a perfect day to subscribe to @bylinetimes.bsky.social and defend the truth. Independent journalism at its fearless best

If a man can’t give a Nazi salute at a party for a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender, then what kind of sick world are we living in, I ask you.

After ditching Twitter last year, I’ve just left Facebook. They had the opportunity to do much good but threw it away. I hope I find my people on here. A bit quiet so far but thank you for the for the little glimmers of connection.

My new friend, I can’t tell if they’re a crow or a raven?

This year’s cacophony of clinks and crashes as the recycling lorry came round was as impressive, and cringey as ever. I pictured someone else dashing in their dressing gown, after my husband (wearing my flip-flops), just in time to catch the moment of quiet before a final, thunderous smash.

I bloody love London.

Padstow today.

Felt like they were trying to communicate.

A new batch of fermeted garlic honey started, farting away nicely next to a batch made 3 years ago. Honey from our bees.

Have been dog sitting my new Granddog. Me eldest rehomed him on Sunday. Very lovely and a bit stinky.

Slowly finding my way on here. ❤️Twitter account deleted. Today’s pic is of a very rich chocolate cake I made.

Who made this? Ahahaha

Good morning everyone. New over here and the starter packs are great! Any other tips? Sharing a photo each morning in case anyone enjoys them. Today’s is St Katharine Dock, London.
