@jessicaelgot.bsky.social Re your article today - is there reliable, definitive data on which Labour voters deserted Corbyn? I thought it was also white working class based on the seats lost but not sure I've ever seen a proper analysis?

@richada.bsky.social @kiranstacey.bsky.social Does the Graun house style really use Send and not SEND!?!? Bonkers

@steveracemp.bsky.social How were the new rules for dual nationals announced? And 4 months to sort all citizenship paperwork for a passport you've never needed before? Madness. “Public information advising dual nationals to carry the correct documentation has been available since October 2024.”

@lisaocarroll.bsky.social “Public information advising dual nationals to carry the correct documentation has been available since October 2024 and a substantive communications campaign about the introduction of ETA has been running since 2023.” Anyone at The Guardian asking to see evidence of this?

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social Thought you might like this pic of (ahem) naturally artistically occurring jelly ears 😂

@lisaocarroll.bsky.social Has the Guardian covered this new requirement before? It's the first I've heard of it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...?

This is an extremely classy thing for a newspaper to do and I’m not just saying it because there are some great Guardian pieces here, honest. (Also good showing for Substacks)

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

These unconscionable cuts by the Labour government to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child. They must be reversed youtu.be/7roDSM-GPBY?...

this is utterly hilarious, turns out that it was the Tories who took the word "enemy" out of the crucial witness statement in the collapsed China spy case over to you, Kemi Badenoch? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social I don't suppose you have great advice about drying mushrooms for artistic purposes? This 3.5kg turkey tail was next to non-stop traffic fumes, I think not safe for food or medicine

I realise that not a single person outside Canada has ever heard of Opp Leader Pierre Poilievre - except maybe when he lost his own seat in Ottawa at the last general election - but it's hard to imagine a more 'pot calling the kettle black' situation. Now he will forever be George Costanza to me

You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list itself? Let's go Debunking! 1/34

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Happy #InternationalCatDay! 🐱 Did you know that Exeter Cathedral has a cat flap that is over 400 years old? A bishop paid for it to be cut for his cat, which was then paid a weekly penny to hunt the mice attracted to the Astronomical Clock's grease. #GreatAndSmall @churchofengland.org

@syalrajeev.bsky.social very interesting article. Do you know what percentage of those convicted (a) already had a criminal record and (b) were on parole at the time? Would also like to know how many people were charged but are awaiting trial? I think all those so far pleaded guilty so no trial?

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

Hospitals are supposed to be where the suffering stops. In Gaza, they are where the killing continues. Channel 4's Gaza: Doctors Under Attack has exposed a terror campaign that sends a horrifying message: No One Is Safe. Not Even Here.

@robinince.bsky.social Just started "Normally Weird", really enjoying it despite/because of the ding ding ding of bells ringing every other paragraph. Wonder if you've read stuff about the ACES study? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse... Sorry if I just haven't got there yet!
