ONS is so bad. (This is about specifically British nationals.) www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

If you are different, if you have additional educational needs, if you have a disability, Reform probably don't believe you, and certainly don't want you to be a part of mainstream life. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

This journal has several of the same kind...

In other news: “Shovel digs hole” and “Typewriter wins the Booker Prize”

Another.

I say, Tripemongers of @tripeuk.bsky.social! You haven't been upsetting those nice Russian gentlemen, have you? 🤣👍

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

Read the abstract, but be sure to be on a sofa or you will fall off your chair 😂😂😂

Protein regulation varies across single cells, cell types, tissues, and organs. The brain proteome is highly sculpted by protein degradation. Why ? This is our model: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Labour MP for Stroud, Simon Opher, says his party should "stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel". "We should push back on the racist agenda of Reform rather than echo it".

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence. Every single human in the world is the product of migration. It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human. That’s never going to change. Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk reminds us that Shabana Mahmood has said that jewellery will be confiscated from asylum seekers arriving by boat. A Home Office spokesman has confirmed that jewellery without sentimental value will be taken. Labour led by the nose by Farage, back to 1933 Germany?

Note the full segregation of pedestrians, bikes and motorised vehicles. Similar thing being developed in Paris and common in Chinese cities. Anglo cities are far, far behind in their infrastructure.

Halifax I dare you to try

Labour MP Simon Opher - "We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel. "Measures that create bureaucracy and insecurity do not offer clarity or strengthen control – they cost money, waste time and weaken the system."

Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum. Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work. A history thread. +

Stella Creasy MP writes that the asylum proposals of the Labour government are "performatively cruel" and likely to be ineffective in securing control or going after the smuggling gangs www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

this is the "utter woke nonsense" he was talking about! shirley you could force that goose inside a turkey and turn it back into a Properly British Lunch. Mind you, if you wanted to make it s Properly Australian Lunch you'd also have to stuff all that inside an emu! #eTurgooducken

Gooducken. No turkeys, only geese

Shabana Mahmood here, handing out some golden tickets

turducken!!!

You have to treat the posts of someone as toxic as Yaxley-Lennon with the same cynicism whether they fit into your preferred narrative or not. The reason for his most recent post is plainly not praise. It is to exploit the cracks among progressives and divide us further. Why are you boosting him?

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million In New York - population 8.5 million - there were 391. London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago. And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

He looks one of Dr. Frankenstein's failed experiments.

We won’t be eating turkey this year , or any other year , cos its honking bone dry tough crap. Much rather have a chicken crown.

Gas companies are mugging us off. They're raking in high profits while our household bills go up, our pubs close down and our high streets hand on by a thread. I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good. act.gp/3JHKh8p

I gave up trying a long time ago. The majority just lack the intellectual honesty and critical thinking skills to grasp that insisting on correct terminology is different from defending evil. And in all fairness, their view is reinforced by the large number of evildoers hiding behind terminology.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable. A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Top work from Labour this, the ultimate seal of approval.

Someone in Labour needs to start telling the truth to the leadership. Soon. This can't go on - it's not just nasty, it's unsustainable.

A couple of years back I had an air source heat pump installed. This wasn't a financial decision: I doubt it changes my fuel bill dramatically. It was to reduce my carbon footprint. Without the £7500 grant from the government it would not have happened.

France prosecuted and jailed Sarkozy. And prosecuted and jailed Dominique Pelicot and the 60+ men who raped his wife.

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!? Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.

Send the SAS. Not that far from Hereford.

I'm trying to unpick Heidi Alexander's speech... We are "only supporting projects that are fully costed and affordable".. so we cancelled Midland Mainline electrification - without costing or ensuring the alternative was affordable (1/2) www.railwaygazette.com/uk/midland-m...

Prime example of why the contract between the public and the police is breaking down, regardless of long term crime trends. Thames Valley Police don’t even think it’s their job to investigate this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If the grouse shooting industry are to be believed, Susie probably stamped her own chicks to death before turning the gun on herself. Oh well. By a happy coincidence, less hen harriers means more red grouse for the toffs to shoot. @raptorpersuk.bsky.social raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/11/14/h...

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

There's a word for people who try to criminalize antifascists. What could that word be..... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Reform in Lancashire threatens closing five day centres and five care homes, with “reprovision” forcing disabled or older adults (including a 106-year-old) into alternative support.  🧵1/3

It’s just days since Starmer and Streeting were lamenting the rise of racism, and here’s Labour fuelling it again.

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS. But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS DEFEND THEM!

There’s more flu around earlier this year. I’ve had my flu jab, have you had yours yet? Get yourself booked in as it can make a big difference to you and others around you.

The new Private Eye is out now... 👍

I would certainly be detained by CBP if they found my social media feeds. Definitely not risking that.

As ever, this is a massively short-sighted action by Labour. The heat pump subsidy made it within our reach & has massively reduced our energy costs, plus selling back to the grid when our battery is charged, means we pay c. £40 month, year round, for heating & electricity. #HeatPumps

Ce que je choisis de retenir du 13 novembre : pour dix terroristes, il y avait des milliers d'intervenants volontaires pour porter secours et assistance, sous quelque forme que ce soit, ce soir-là et dans les jours qui ont suivi.
