Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all; her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity. How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's unbelievable to me. We've (as a society) become completely addicted to clickbait, instant gratification and a 2 or 3 hour news cycle. I feel so old fashioned thinking that having a govt with its head down, getting on with meeting manifesto commitments, is somehow a good thing.

I have to be up early tomorrow so that I can be showered and shaved before the gasman comes to fit a new meter sometime between 1pm and 5pm.

Now, *this* is the cut of Melania's new vanity movie I'd watch. (I'm kidding. I wouldn't watch anything about her.)

62.5% of current Reform MPs are former Tory MPs so they are in fact the Conservatives.

The UK 🇬🇧 understood the assignment.

Great work. Deform UK's Dickie Tice is in bed with fossil fuel companies – he’s received £2.3m from them.

I read an article saying dark chocolate is good for gut health so I’m eating a crunchie because it’s dark chocolates cousin.

I’m definitely up for @nigella.bsky.social joining bake off to talk about soggy bottoms. Bring. It. On. 🧁

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The Carnon river was about to burst its banks again this afternoon -torrential rain this afternoon won’t have helped!

Proper LOLs at Suella Braverman defecting to Reform... The party that’s spent years attacking the Home Office has just welcomed the person who actually ran the Home Office. Brilliant work lads.

Breaking: Republican candidate for Minnesota Governor Chris Madel drops out of the race. “I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of the skin... I did not sign up for that.”

Things are looking up for the Tories! apple.news/AXsbpxOEoRx6...

Reform UK 'delaying Holyrood candidates' to avoid scrutiny

Right I’m off to take my 61 year bum to the personal training session in a bit -I missed 2 sessions because I had yet another weird virus last week -I’m told the reason I never have any immunity is because I’m coeliac and my immune system is crap. At least I know why I succumb to illness so often.

Best three words in the English language? Four day week…

Dear USA Policing and law enforcement losing the confidence of the community does not end well. Yours, Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Ah yes, Stalinism - where famously everything is on your doorstep and life is happier and more convenient and you don't have to waste whole years of your life in a car, polluting the environment. Absolutely, that was what Stalinism was all about.

Me too

Almost unimaginable parade armor - a helmet and cuirass - made from the skin of a crocodile. Roman soldiers were particularly attracted to the crocodile cult in Egypt, and this armor was probably used in cult processions. 🐊 🏺 1/ Manfalout, Egypt, 3rd-4th c. CE. #BritishMuseum #ancientbluesky 📸 me

The 19th century Struve Geodetic Arc is, to me, one of the most extraordinary properties on the World Heritage List. It crosses 10 countries and was used to determine the size and shape of the world. 🧪 🏺 #ContemporaryArchaeology

If you translate it into german it says, "I'm a Nazi trying to defend Nazis."

Why do those ICE thugs appear to have no idea about restraining people safely? Rag tag bunch of poorly trained and violent men.

I’ve travelled to many places in the USA, I’ve even done a road trip of Florida from the keys to the panhandle, I was always scared, some bad things happened around us -it’s a country with aggressive police (because there are too many guns) and people who are anxious. I can’t imagine it now.

I'm old enough to remember Trump saying they should arm all teachers to prevent school shootings rather than have better gun control laws. Now he is saying you must be a bad guy if you have one. How will average US citizens square this circle?

If you support Farage and his band of merry Tory failures then you support Trump and his regime.

The Worst Ice Storms In US History as yet another massive storm hits. For all the ignorant idiots out there denying climate change, WAKE UP! bsky.app/profile/forb...

Even the NRA, that hotbed of the right to commit legal murder, us outraged at the second Minneapolis shooting. Extraordinary.

It won't end them. The people that will vote for them long to see summary executions on the street. They are the same people that want gunboats firing on refugee children in the channel. And if it happened they'd celebrate it.

Welp

That can’t have been my Saturday. Please can I do it again.
