I haven't used peat for 20 years. It is perfectly possible to garden without it so why are we still using something so damaging to the environment.

Have the Epstein files been released yet? Haven't seen anything on the news.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

@bsky.app is completely overrun with porn posts. Just in the last day I've had to block more people than I blocked in the last six months. Why this sudden huge influx of smut - sort it out. It's like being back on X.

Why is my feed this morning full of porn and bot accounts? Thought I'd opened X by mistake for a minute. Sort it out @bsky.app

Terrific

Fed up with Farage? Me too. I’ve signed the Never Nigel Pledge. Add your name today, and help show that division and hate have no place in our communities. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/170649/... @hopenothate.org.uk

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Eight child abusers were jailed today. 8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years. This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News. I wonder why. #bbcbias #itvbias #skybias

The jar shakers in a frenzy on x this morning

So, for all those flag shaggers - some history. St George was born in Cappadocia part of modern Turkiye and was a high ranking Tribune in the Roman army. The red cross on a white background was originally the flag of Genoa adopted by UK in 1190 raised to keep ships safe in the med. All very English!

Reform UK Councillors Gone: Updated ➡️ Kicked Out Brian Black Oliver Bradshaw Paul Thomas Bob Ford Bill Barratt Ed Hill James Regan Mark Broadhurst Paul Bean Adam Smith Daniel Taylor John Allen Nicole Brooke Patrick Lambert ➡️ Defected Amelia Randall ➡️ Suspended Maxine Fothergill

All this constant talk about polls is ridiculous. We are 3.5 years away from an election. All the things Labour are quietly getting on with and all the corruption, incompetence and racism that Reform are loudly getting on with will be more in evidence come election time.

This should be shared everywhere. Every time he deflects when asked about his plans for the NHS the interviewer should show this clip.

What Trump doesn't understand is that when you become President you are the President of the whole country not just people who voted for you. We really don't have this level of partisanship in the UK. The different parties might slug it out in the commons but work for the good of the whole nation

British author Nate White's excellent description of why British people don't like Trump [I think the best part is his explanation why Trump is not funny and can't understand a joke]: thehobbledehoy.com/2019/03/08/b...

Yet complete silence on Fuhrage and his friend/colleague Gill and pleading guilty to Russian bribes!! 😡

I live in Essex and since I added the line "Reform supporters need not apply" to my dating profile, I've had no new likes. I think I need to move, but where to? Scotland?

So Sean #Diddy Combs has been found guilty of coercing women into having sex with escorts. To my mind that is rape. 4 years is a pathetically lenient sentence for multiple rapes. He says he is ashamed in one breath and in the next he wants to appeal the sentence. He's only sorry he got caught. 🤬

The case for calling them “Farage Boats” #BrexitBoats #FarageBoats

Be clear. Farage/Reform want to remove rights for women 1. Its manifesto states ‘to repeal the equalities act’ 2. Remove us from the european convention on human rights which protects women 3. Remove us from the UN charter for human rights which protects women. NO WOMAN should support them‼️

Listening to Micheal Sheen today on Desert Island Discs. He's given away much of his own money. He says that he needs to be able to look after his family & have enough for a comfortable life - that's it. Anything more he gives away. If the super-rich thought this way what a difference it would make!

Matt Vickers on @lbc.co.uk this morning repeatedly stated that 9 out of 10 Britons opposed the UK recognising a Palestinian state. No pushback, no asking where he got that figure. Why can't the media do their job and call out disinformation.

Had to go to bed last night after Trump's lie No. 37 as I have to work today. Can @channel4news.bsky.social now do Farage please? 🙏

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform. A relentless klaxon of failure.

I truly don't understand how we can look at what is happening in America with horror but then support Reform who want that in this country. 150,000 racists turned out yesterday to support a criminal, nazi, scumbag grifter. Ask yourself where Little Tommy's money comes from and is it £s or rubles?

Urge Nigel Farage to Release His Tax Returns Sign the Petition. chng.it/wjQxX9DnWQ

I will start by saying that I believe no one has the right to take another person's life. That said, WHY is the news completely swapped by Charlie Kirk's shooting? Don't remember this much prominence being given to the killing of Melissa and Mark Hortman.

It’s time to restore democracy to our broadcast media. We want to hear from ALL parties not the over platforming of one over & over @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social do you not understand how important this is? Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

For people who say Garage will be our next PM - they can't even field councillors who pass the sniff test. How are they going to field enough electable MPs across the country to win an election? It would appear that as well as being nasty racists, Reform members are violent thugs - who knew?!?

If the Angela Rayner saga also brings down Nigel Farage then her loss would be a price worth paying.

What on earth has possessed people to believe that Reform’s motley collection of our most abysmal, prejudiced and corrupt politicians - all with a proven track record of epic and piss-taking failure would be a remotely credible government? Seriously people… and media… you’ve lost your goddam minds.

Fartage, Zahawi and Hunt all aggressively avoided tax and kept their jobs and Angela Rayner made a mistake but she will probably lose hers because she's not a privately educated right-wing man. News bulletins have led with this for 3 days even tho there's nothing new until the report comes out.

DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT #FARAGE ALWAYS BEING ON TV IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED THIS PETTION !!! 1,940 signatures needed! RT and thank you for your attention to this matter! 😰 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Always go for the non corporate local producer of everything if you can afford it. Socialist capitalism by stealth. Don't give these greedy fnckers a penny if you can help it.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

Reform propaganda-fest has to end. We need government to respond to our call for proper coverage of ALL our parties by our broadcasters. Sign now & pass round like your life depends on it because really it does. democracy at stake! 6k needs to be 10k by sep13 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

If we continue to allow the over platforming of one party over any other we sadly prove we’ve not learnt the lessons of history. Democracy matters particularly in what is now a multi party climate. We MUST hear from ALL our parties otherwise it’s propaganda. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The Education Secretary is on Blueksy! Please give her a follow and like, share and comment on her posts to encourage her to post more on here and for more of the government to do the same!

"The number of private schools [in the UK] has actually increased from 2,421 to 2,456" since VAT was put on their fees. No calamitous shift of pupils from private schools to state schools, either. In other words, the scare mongering from vested interests was wrong open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...

Even in the summer recess our Labour government is going about its business of improving our country and agreeing new policies. Good governing starts with hard work! Just in the last week or so:
