A warning we must heed! with thanks to @bylinetimes.bsky.social

If the attack on trans women wasn't pure bigotry then the real threats women face would be dealt with. Curfews on cis men, cis men banned from public spaces, instant imprisonment without bail upon evidence of domestic violence by a cis man and the death penalty for cis men who kill women.

Just as people move around the UK seeking work to balance out different job markets this video shows everything that is good about Freedom of Movement, how it works in real life and the benefits of being in the EU. Watch it and weep... youtu.be/k1WxT7pjRzk?...

"I know there are lots of crises clamouring for your attention right now, but the threat posed by electoral funding should trump them all because without negating it, there is no way to solve the others." ✍️ @oliverbullough.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/05/29/h...

If punch card manufacturers had made a ⅒ of the money that oil producers make you'd be communicating with your smart device using a punch card, not a touchscreen. That's the equivalent of what net zero naysayers and climate change deniers are trying to make you do with your cars, boilers & ovens.

First time this has flowered in the 30 years since I bought the house. It's now reached the first floor but the occupier of the bedroom adjacent to it, says it smells like cat's pee! 🌱

Your regular reminder that PoliticsUK is a fake account owned by a Reform councillor Bailey Nash-Gardner who also works for Reform MP Andrew Rosindell. ***Stop following and sharing their stuff***

More kids have been hurt or injured running into a brick wall in the hope of reaching Platform 9¾ at Kings Cross station than have been harmed by puberty blockers.

Why do I only remember I have to put the clean sheets and duvet cover on the bed at the same time I think I'm ready for bed?

I'd have no issue were we to adopt the Euro but to say that we would have to in order to rejoin is UKIP level scaremongering. To join the Euro you must participate in ERM II for a couple of years but as participation in this is voluntary you can just avoid it indefinitely. Ask Sweden. They did it.

Rules for thee, not for me. It’s not about hypocrisy anymore, he created a criminal organization with a weaponized Justice Department. Who’s gonna stop him? Probably no one…..

When Crystal Palace got demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League, I commented on the BBC story that as an outsider it looked the better option to me. Win the Conference and go into the Europa League with a year's experience. Waiting for apologies from all those who downvoted me.

Did anyone question how the USA breaking the ceasefire in "defensive strikes" aligns with the Trump's claims that Iran had been defanged by Operation Epic Fury?

If there are no bugs left to hit your windscreen, how come when I open the back door within half an hour there are a dozen or more flies buzzing around the light, even though it's off, in the middle of the room?

A frequent complaint from the right wing press is the lack of integration of immigrants. Ask yourself, when did you last drink with a Duke, laugh with a Lord, play with a Peer, natter with a Knight or party with a Prince? There's only one class that keeps themselves separate & it's not immigrants.

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

PM Carney: "In these separation issues it is often advanced that 'Vote for this and we will strengthen our hand.' That is a very dangerous bluff. I saw firsthand what happened in the UK, they're still trying to undo what people didn't think they were voting for but what they ended up having."

You'll need to go for a long walk to calm down after you read how the UK got to here on trans rights. If you're only ever going to read one piece on trans people, this would be the one.

People complaining that the Brexit referendum shouldn't be overturned disregard that it was a Tory policy decision to take us out based on an advisory referendum. The best thing for the UK now would be to ignore that bad advice and take us back in as soon as possible.

🔥 £23.6K out of £24K needed for equipment. C’mon folks - last push!

During the revolutionary era, Britain didn't have an uprising because satirical cartoons were freely available, mocking the government openly and draining the reservoir of revolutionary bile 1/3

I was looking forward to a fried egg and black pudding, slathered with brown sauce on a hot, toasted, buttered bagel for brunch tomorrow and then something uttered the devastating phrase, "I picked you up a salad while I was out. It was reduced so you'll have to eat it tomorrow".

On the weekend the Premier League season ended we should remember that the sheer vertical depth of English football—is a genuine cultural miracle that gets criminally ignored. 1/3 ​

If you're not sticking to 20mph speed limits you're wasting petrol unnecessarily as well as risking pedestrians lives. I guess neither humanity nor patriotism nor cash savings move the needle for you. What's up with you?

Once a league title can be won in a single round of games attempting to maximise viewers should take a back seat & the games kick off at the same time. Arsenal fans should be celebrating Havertz's goal as title winning at the match, not Bournemouth's Kruipi's. This is a football truism any time.

If we weren't meant to use renewables to generate electricity to power our washing machines, God wouldn't have made laundry drying days (bright and breezy) the same as perfect electricity generating days.

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊

Half Man, Biscuit

If Labour have lost control of most or all of the councils they were defending they should introduce a bill in parliament that changes the funding rules from the central government so that all councils have to raise council tax immeasurably or cut services. If Reform wants to play dirty...

The Romans used to have 8 day weeks. An AI world might need the same, or even a 6 day week. 3 people share the same job. Looking after the robots. 2 days on, 4 days off. 60 weeks in the year with a 5 day festival at year end. That would be less dystopian than a world with 66% unemployment.

And that's just based on the unredacted documents they've released. There are probably even more.

In 1912, the USA brought in segregation of black people because white women "were afraid of black men". In 2025 the US & the UK segregated trans women because women "are scared of them". The parallels & the timeless playbook of bigotry, hatred and division a century apart are clear for all to see.

We have the REform party and we have the REstore party. How about the REpatriation party? Repatriate all monies from tax havens and offshore accounts. Repatriate companies registered in tax havens. Let's see how wealthy the wealthy really are and then we can discuss wealth taxes honestly.

Fixing climate change is easy. All you have to do is plant 600 trees to offset your lifetime carbon release. Then plant 600 trees for your partner. Then 600 trees for each of your children. Problem solved. What's stopping you? Or, cut your carbon footprint.

So what is it about Section 86 Page 47 in the Epstein files that Trump's so worried about I wonder?

After shots were heard at the White House correspondents' dinner, they all dived under the table for safety. Aside from Pete Kegsbreath and Kash Patel who had already drunk themselves under the table sometime earlier.

Washington Hilton, where Trump will soon be arriving for the White House correspondents’ dinner. End the cover-up.

Do you know what would stop Trump threatening "big tariffs" on the UK? Being in the EU. A unified trade policy would mean that the EU could trigger far worse back on the US than what an island off the coast of the continent can.

The rich, non-domiciled, fascistic elite want to turn Great Britain into the most unregulated, corrupt country in the world. Brexit was their first step.

The complex relationship between the cost of gas & the price of electricity is best explained in the following way. Electricity generating companies were national assets owned by all of us until Thatcher sold them off in 1989 and rigged the game so private investors would always make big profits.

AI will get consciousness before right wing politicians get a conscience.

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.

You won't see this story on GB News or in the Daily Mail...

I don't stay in bed of a morning because I'm too lazy to get up. I stay in bed because I'm too lazy to roll over to the right, sit up, and take my morning medication.

Following on from Pete Hegseth's controversial decision to rename the Department of Defence to the Department of War it's expected that Todd Blanche will shortly announce the rebranding of his office to the Department of Injustice to better reflect its aims and goals.

The US military continues to follow illegal orders while the US Department of Justice continues to ignore legal orders.

I'm taking early retirement while there's still some money left in the pension fund. Once AI hits, people will be taking their pension at the earliest opportunity and there won't be anyone left to contribute.

Not the first orange predator to be found in the Americas...

I love crisp, freshly laundered cotton sheets and duvet covers but I also like that floppy mass of bedlinen and duvet combination that you wake up to after a week of wear that pins you to the mattress and hugs every part of your body. It's wash day. See you again in a week's time "lived in" duvet.
