Statement from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency "MHRA confirms taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe and there is no evidence it causes autism in children" Bonkers that Starmer welcomed the insane nutcase to the UK last week www.gov.uk/government/n...

How bad do you have to be to adopt a “let’s deport all the Gurkhas” policy?

So much winning...

HELP NEEDED: A colleague's mum in mid Wales has been told by her heating company they cannot install a heat pump for her in her old stone house. Can someone recommend a local installer who is experienced with old houses and heat pumps?

Some of us do.

Just spoke with PM Frederiksen regarding the drones incursion around Copenhagen airport. While the facts are still being established, it is clear we are witnessing a pattern of persistent contestation at our borders.

Quelle surprise...

Anyone know what time the rapture is?

Denmark’s prime minister said the country had suffered the “most serious attack to date” on its critical infrastructure after its biggest airport was shut down by unknown drones in its airspace www.ft.com/content/5317...

Tylenol was created in 1955 12 years after Leo Kanner identified autism in 1943 🤔

Russians targeting firefighters in Ukraine

Yep, and will still believe the lies

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Back in 2021, the Biden administration launched a campaign to combat health misinformation. "Confronting Health Misinformation - The U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory on Building a Healthy Information Environment" There is no connection between MMR and autism See here : www.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

From 2014 but this is insane - and he's now the president "Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!"

Monaco formally recognizes the State of Palestine.

Labour have branded Nigel Farage’s migration attacks "unfunded, unworkable and falling apart in real time." And the classic: "Unserious". They seem very reluctant to say "immoral" or "wrong".

BBC push alert tomorrow: ‘The Rapture is here. Why this could be good news for Reform UK’

“I want to be very clear. We will make a decision to shoot down flying objects without discussion when they violate our territory and fly over Poland. There is no room for debate here.” - Polish Prime Minister @donald-tusk.bsky.social earlier today

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

Meltdown on "Truth" Social in 5... 4... 3... 2...

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Elon Musk and X should now face "the full force of the law" Ed Davey tells Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/e...

As well as the fantasy £234 bn, journalists should also be clear Farage's claims most new migrants don't work, and those who do are on low wages, are entirely false. In fact, 1.8 million recent migrants are on payrolls (others will be self employed). migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/co...

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

The Labour Party has a tradition of antiracism campaigning. It’s supposed to be in the party’s DNA. That they cannot say it’s just straightforwardly wrong to alarm families who choose Britain to live, work and raise children in is a total moral failure.

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

While running for the leadership (with McSweeney) Starmer said he would never write for the Sun after the Hillsborough shame. He did. Labour said it planned to complete the second part of Leveson Inquiry. It dropped it. McSweeney (like Mandelson) seems to be Murdoch compliant

I'd also recommend the Sky News Trump 100 daily podcast Hosted by James Matthews, Martha Kelner and Mark Stone They've all had altercations with Trump admin and supporters Martha Kelner's altercation with MGT went viral in March

And it is a simple abomination that the serious UK media would so lightly run the story of wanting to turn the country into a fascist state. Don't give such vile politics that ruined so many countries the benefit of serious discussion.

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

So Reform / Farage want to deport hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of UK residents, turning the country into an effective police state, breaking treaties, and impoverishing the economy and health service? Just focus on all that. The moral gutter of politics.

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

In what world, is it not illegal and/or impeachable for the President to conspire with his Attorney General to use the levers of government to punish his political enemies? This is like the entirety of All the Presidents Men shrunk down into one Truth Social post.

Hostile, and plain false, media reporting, coupled with continuous anti-immigration political rhetoric, is feeding an increasingly dangerous environment for many of those who work in the migration sector, including serious threats against us and our organisations. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Countries recognising the state of Palestine as of September 2025 The US, centralish Europe, the Baltics, Japan and South Korea seem to be the outliers Trump and Netanyahu have both of course threatened repercussions

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

Try to switch off from the world for 12 hours and return to see the news about my H1B visa category. Email from the university telling me not to travel outside the country (by far the most direct messaging I’ve had from the institution since Jan). I just… 🥺

"'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups" 🤷

Trump really wants to persecute anyone that offended him NY AG Letitia James successfully charged Trump with fraud last year, his appeal failed Prosecutor Erik Siebert "fired" by Trump because he found insufficient evidence against Letitia James Will now be replaced by Trump's personal lawyer

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

Israel killed another 31 journalists When will Israel be designated as a terrorist state? "31 journalists and staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week - the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years"

"Trump administration to add $100,000 fee for H-1B visas The Trump administration is targeting a visa widely used by tech companies and other employers to hire foreign workers." Cartoon by @oliverschopf.bsky.social

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

I'm sure Trump and his lot will be condemning political violence any minute now... annnnnnnnnyyyyyy minute now... The lady being thrown to the ground is @katmabu.bsky.social
