Night trains linking Paris, Berlin and Vienna to halt as France cuts funding

Parmi les insultes proférées figurerait "fils de putt"

Weekend is over. Get back to work

People criticising Starmer for not putting digital IDs in the Labour manifesto are unfairly overlooking all of the manifesto policies that he has introduced, which is... none of them x

".. the appalling horrific genocide that is taking place against the people of Palestine at the hands of the Israeli govt.. we have to stop supplying Israel with arms.. we have to have sanctions against Israel.." Marz Colombini from @aslefunion.bsky.social at #Lab25

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

No idea. Are there any Lemurs that can write a 4 chord pop song?

🇨🇳 Meanwhile, in China, the former Minister of Agriculture of China was sentenced to death with a suspended sentence for bribery, — Reuters. ❗️The total amount of bribes he received from 2007 to 2024 amounted to more than $37.6 million.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Nigel Farage, man of the people, affable, it seems, with every class and kind, from landed gentry to tenant farmer, from unashamed racist to rich elite donor, from patriot to traitor, from taxi driver to Russian Ambassador.

September 29 is the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Babyn Yar. On this day in 1941, the occupying Nazi forces began mass executions of civilians in Kyiv. This horrific tragedy took over 100,000 innocent lives. Never forget. Never again.🕯️🧵

Ooh, ooh, I know, I know. It won’t!

Yes, I see how that would be a problem

Speaking of #Farage, here’s how billionaire #oligarchy manipulates people🔻. They use lying, paywalled headlines & twisted data to build a false reality where their followers wrongly believe the majority scrounges off the rich—pushing them to vote against their own interests. #UK #USA — same tactics.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

🚨 Legal win 🚨 UK Govt forced to review its Industrial Strategy Our legal challenge exposed failure to assess environmental impacts of Carbon Capture & Storage - a dirty distraction, locking us into gas #ClimateJustice Press Release: scrapcc.org/PR-IS @dalevince.com @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Pour information et pour répondre à certains, en ajoutant les 250 km² conquis par les russes (projection à 4 jours avant fin septembre) en Ukraine ajoutés au 2893 km² entre le 01/01/25 et le 31/08/25, nous sommes bien loin des 4174 km² des données annoncées par l'agence TASS...

Guerre d'Ukraine - Semaine 39 | 2025 Ukraine Gains (+ 4.13 km²) 🟨 Pertes (- 94.29 km²) 🟦 Russie | LPR | DPR Gains (+ 54.34 km²) 🟥 Pertes (- 4.27 km²) ⬛️ #UkraineRussianWar #GuerreEnUkraine

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Can y'all PLEASE stop using the phrase "conspiracy theory" to mean any kind of bizarre fantasy, even ones that are LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE, whether it involves a conspiracy or not? Even a conspiracy HYPOTHESIS would need to be scientifically credible; anything that isn't is a bizarre cultic belief.

The Korean Ministry of National Defense announced it will commend soldiers who refused illegal orders during the December 3 Martial Law, recognizing them as "individuals who protected constitutional values." www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

27 September 1936 | A Czech Jewish girl, Blanka Schwarzkopf, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Theresienstadt Ghetto on 9 October 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

The British attitude to ID cards should not be underestimated.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social It made the NY Times

Moldova’s Central Electoral Commission has annulled the registration of the pro-Russian Moldova Mare party led by Victoria Furtună, citing illegal foreign funding and allegations of voter bribery. The decision comes before the Sept 28 parliamentary vote and follows a separate ban on Heart of Moldova

At some point Labour might dare admit that immigration is good for the economy…

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app. It’s hidden under Welsh news. Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times. Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️ 13/14

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

Probably the most complete list of trolls. When you absolutely positively have to block every mf in the room, accept no substitutes. bsky.app/profile/did:...

you're laughing. George Galloway has been detained under anti-terror legislation at Gatwick Airport on the way back from Moscow and you're laughing.

this is the housing market but at least we're investigating what happened to amelia earhart

Apparently anyone on the left who doesn’t fully support Starmer is a tankie. Who knew?

If a Tory ends up as far left, a social democrat is obviously going to be off the scale:

This would be like making Prez head of parts of Ukraine. Imagine proposing that.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The story of applying for disability living allowance to help pay for some of the 12yo's needs - the benefit allegedly 'given away so easily'. Weeks -8 to 0. Fill in a complex 90-page form, collect multiple pieces of evidence, get written expert testimony to support the claim. Week 0, send it in.

20 years ago today I said pension age will never raise as long as I am President. My war is now lowering life expectancy so almost no one will live long enough to claim one. I remain a master strategist.

🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to eight bribery charges while an elected member of the European Parliament. The charges relate to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money during his time as a member of the European Parliament.

Just your regular reminder that Palantir started as a tool to help cops hunt down sex workers. And hordes of "Resistance" idiots stood around clapping like trained seals because "sex trafficking". We told y'all, and we told y'all, and we told y'all. And now the pot is boiling.

Oh I can’t even get started on that end of it, Bluesky folks can confirm that the damage that Thatcher/Mulroney/Reagan did to the public understanding of government finance is one of my autistic special interests, second only to Star Trek and bird feeders.

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

House Oversight Democrats released another batch of Epstein estate records: daily schedules, flight logs, ledgers. Entries note planned meetings with Trump backers, Steve Bannon (Feb 16, 2019) and Peter Thiel (Nov 27, 2017) and Elon Musk. #OpDeathEaters #Epstein

There's a new name popping up in the latest release of #epstein documents. We don't know if Elon went to the island, but it's getting clearer and clearer that this dude has a weirdly high tolerance for people who abuse kids #teslatakedown #epsteinlist

If only there were a concise term for "engaged in conduct beyond the scope of the women’s consent."

For the first time in my life I am seriously considering releasing the pee pee tape.

No wonder the tippy top of the GOP wants to keep this a secret. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Every once in awhile, I run into these people who cannot accept an Asian as an authority figure and bring out ‘let me talk to your manager’ card. A perennial life challenge, I guess.

Medals for soldiers who shot unarmed women and children on their own land? No wonder you like Russia so much
