It finally happened

"now that Musk is out of the White House and openly backing an even more extreme version of Reform here at home, he no longer a public servant, just a deeply unpopular foreign extremist – and should be treated accordingly." bylinetimes.com/2025/09/15/m...

Just getting ready to pose for my compulsory UK ID photo.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The man has made a fucking art of plausible deniability while winking at the camera and dog whistling. Given a direct question about siding with science he sidesteps. Devious scum.

Fascinating to see that Keir Starmer is, on the topic of ID (or digital ID) cards, to the right of Boris Johnson. This was what Johnson had to say in 2004. 1/2

Have the Epstein files been released yet?

A short thread on digital ID (cards) just to bear in mind. There are a few myths that I keep hearing about this idea that need clarifying/debunking. 1/10

Good afternoon lovely #FoodSky, I'm staying near Ringwood, Hampshire for a few days next week and looking for recommendations of places to eat, markets etc. please 😊

"Councillor Jack McGlenen was accused of public drunkenness, abusive behaviour towards hospitality staff and disparaging Reform UK at an event in Seaham on June 28 near memorials to fallen soldiers"

I'd take neurodivergence* over an iron lung any day. Not that I had a say in it - my mum had lost school pals to diseases, I had every single jab (and sugar cube) going. No messing. *I'd like to state very clearly that I there is no link that I know of between vaccinations and neurodivergence.

Indeed. Hull's explosive 1961 polio outbreak was curtailed when it became the 1st city in the world to carry out mass inoculation (350k people in a week) & 1st in W. Europe to use the Sabin oral vaccine. Predominance of cases was amongst previously non-Salk immunised pre-school children.

This David Bowie / Kate Moss pic from 2003 popped up earlier as part of the promo for the Bowie doc she's presenting and it totally suggests an alternative casting for Tennant/Piper era Doctor Who, complete with a strong hint of a Tardis in the back.

Both cheered that she said it & depressed at the incredibly low political bar we’ve set when we’re relieved that the leader of the opposition feels able to say out loud that a baseless drug scare is baseless. Ironically the “free speech warriors“ have made it feel risky to state self-evident truths

Gosh, this parody account is serving up some strong satire before 8am.

This is Paul Alexander, one of the last people who had to spend most of his day in an iron lung. He died in 2024. Vaccination meant others didn't get infected with polio. Vaccinations work. youtu.be/gplA6pq9cOs?...

Reform UK’s Arron ‘Pol Pot’ Banks. What the actual… www.ft.com/content/76a4...

Arron Banks: "The Communists took a third of the intelligentsia out and shot them in a car park, and I always thought what a waste. But now I think actually, they had a point." Needless to say, Ron failed to get into university and has had a chip on his little shoulders ever since.

Credit where credit is due, Kemi Badenoch has unequivocally called out Nigel Farage for his unacceptable, irresponsible, and untrue comments on paracetamol (Acetaminophen) use in pregnancy. More of this, please.

Somebody call social services.

Oh look Billy Bullshitter has been called out by The Royal Parks and the RSPCA. He really is a total throbber if only those that give him a platform would stand up to his fashy wafflebollocks

The down playing of the racism and islamophobia by yet another bigoted white man, will always happen, due to the media, run and owned by white men. Donald Trump and Sadiq Khan are not feuding. Trump attacked Khan and no one in the GB media has defended Khan 1/2 news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

Mrs R: "There was a woman on the ward today who didn't want to take paracetamol. We've had to explain that we're not giving it to her because she's got a fever and we want her to feel better, but because she's got a fever and if we don't get her temperature down then her baby is going to die."

I’m old enough to remember something like this being career-ending. An unprompted comparison of paracetamol and *thalidomide*??

'Mevagissey, Cornwall.' (c1914) Like many female artists working at the beginning of the 20thC, Doris Zinkeisen’s work traversed the boundaries between fine and decorative art; she was one of the first artists to enter the Belsen camp in April 1945.

Must be exhausting for clinicians and scientists to have to deal with this nonsense. We don’t talk enough about the opportunity cost in having to constantly combat misinformation and conspiracy theories peddled by these malignant actors

“Trump understood this during his first presidency: Americans would tolerate almost anything,children separated from parents at the border,journalists threatened with violence, elections contested through lies,as long as their Amazon deliveries arrived and their Netflix streamed without buffering”.

So 'the Labour argument for controlling immigration' is... repeating far right talking points on immigration? This country does not have uncontrolled immigration. The Home Secretary using the phrase (and ITV hacks repeating it as fact) will fuel tensions, not diminish them. Utterly depressing.
