So water companies polluting rivers and seas is fine, but chucking leftover coffee down the drain is where the council draws the line? This is madness https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg435gg66gpo

Via Press Gazette: "The Daily Star’s livestream of the Liz Truss lettuce has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive for a collection of significant pieces of online video. The BFI’s curator said it was “a seminal moment in British political history”"

It's self evident isn't it? That there was not a lot of energy or planning or urgency going into fighting covid and saving lives/ensuring the ongoing quality of lives for the general populace, *at the same time* that lots of energy and planning WAS going into the VIP lane and disaster capitalism.

Just got a flu jab and my NHS surgery is just so phenomenally efficient at those sorts of things. Was in the building for about 60secs tops. Just waned to share some positivity for once!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Let’s make this happen & hopefully it’ll hasten that fascist orange prick to shuffle off this mortal coil.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday. Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening. The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street. Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Greta Thunberg is dominating global headlines. Everyone’s eyes are on her.

BREAKING: Heroic police officers save public from this terrifying terrorist who was holding a sign the government doesn’t like x

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle. Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle. How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?

So we have to make a choice. Rescue DC, Chicago or Portland first

Looks like Michelle Mone is going to have to sell that yacht (from Feb 23)

Bloody terrorists. Vicious, narrow-minded, uneducated thugs. Terrorising the community. Look at her just sitting there with a placard. Thankfully, our (just following orders) civil army took her into custody. This terrorist is now facing a court case that could incarcerate for 14 years.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

These rooms should be filled with newborn cries, the beeping of monitors, pregnant women being cared for, patients finding relief amid a genocide. Instead, these rooms now stand empty because MSF was forced to evacuate our last functioning health facility in Gaza.

Only a few days ago Led By Donkeys were arrested for projecting a photo..

Imagine writing "the United States - where free speech is protected by the first amendment to the constitution" in an article after everything that happened last week!

And that was before he addressed the UN Assembly!

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

Outrageous but true. America is in deep deep shit #Disney #epstein

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

‘We’re doing this video because we know we might die at any time’ – Gaza volunteer surgeons...

On Sept. 15, Israeli forces fired on a clearly marked MSF water truck delivering 10,000 litres in #Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan. Destroying infrastructure while making humanitarian aid nearly impossible is not just cruel, it’s illegal.

ANTIFA!!!

Welcome to the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧 Never before in U.S. History has a President been acknowledged by another country in this unique way! 🇺🇸 At Windsor Castle, in London & all across the land, people are United! ✊ They all want to see the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles, ASAP! 👀
