A tribute to Ukrainian bravery, resilience and sacrifice. The official website of Ukraine has a collection of war photos. This video is a selection set to music, using a piece I put out last Feb combining the European and Ukrainian anthems. 🎧 #ukraine #war #photography youtu.be/08l4N_tEj6E

Is this story real?🤔 Or is this just an orchestrated way of keeping Reform in the news headlines? Let’s face it the worst thing for Reform, Farage & Musk is to be ignored & invisible! Farage & Musk live for the limelight!🤔

There are more than a million British people with Pakistani heritage in the UK. For the Shadow Home Secretary to suggest they have an "alien" and "medieval" culture and to smear them by association with the crimes of a tiny minority, is the politics of the far-right gutter.

😂😬

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people & institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job..I will not stop holding truth to power through my cartooning.. “Democracy dies in darkness” 👏 anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

"Enemies within" Abhorrent language from former Tory MP Marco Longhi here as he joins Reform.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

My new phone wallpaper taken on my walk to work, love autumn colours.

👏 “A lot of nature conservation is a long game. You plant a tree, you're not going to in your lifetime see that it reached its full potential. But within three months of that river being re-wiggled the salmon were spawning in that one kilometre stretch for the first time in over 150 years”

A warning for the world from Germany.

Sissy Spacex says the quiet part out loud.

I'm old enough to remember when a computer didn't automatically connect to the internet, it used to make a screaming noise. We should have listened.

This is just beautiful...

Russian tech billionaire Pavel Durov who founded Telegram has been arrested in France.

Interesting ! A very revealing article from East Anglia Bylines eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

Probably best not to go swimming today 😬

One forgotten aspect of #Peterloo is the slandering of the victims by the newspapers. Nothing changes much about1816.wordpress.com/2017/10/18/a... #C19

Hey there global brands and Fortune 500 companies! Elon Musk here, the guy who recently stirred up racist riots in the UK and told the country's prime minister to f^ck off. Please buy ads on my hate-mongering website. qz.com/twitter-x-ad...

Strange things happen when you work in a university. Just now somebody found a bat flying up and down the corridor and within 30 seconds we found a bat expert just down the corridor who's now got it in a box

Rock Against Racism is reborn as gigs planned in riot towns across Britain www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

Love Stewart Lee

This is welcome news. It’s very clear that hatred of women & girls is rising, spurred on by the likes of tate etc. The rise in right wing politics also has an impact with bodily autonomy being attacked widely & misogynoir is even worse for our black & brown sisters. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Each to their own taste of course, but we watched the film "Wicked Little Letters" last night. Strongly recommended

A sobering read.

Fabulous! 😺 www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

"Anti-racism campaigners are planning to organise unity gigs in the towns and cities blighted by anti-immigrant riots to combat the growing influence of the far right in some parts of Britain." #LoveMusicHateRacism

Austerity is still austerity, even under a Labour government www.theguardian.com/business/art...

A slice of northern history from the BBC. Bolton, like Blackburn, used to shut completely during Wakes Week. You could only buy papers from sellers on the street. www.bbc.co.uk/videos/cd1pm...

🚨 This is VERY ODD❗️👇🏼 Farage makes no ref to paying income tax on his £1 million + from GB News❌ If he pays full UK tax it’d be circa 50% + gone in tax ❌ But all he bleats about is paying VAT & “significant expenses” ❌🤔 Seems he want his “Country Back” without paying tax like you & me eh❗️😡

It doesn't matter to their fans that Farage, Trump, Robinson et al are revealed to be corrupt. They give thick, amgry, morally bankrupt white racists hope that they too can be like them one day. Losers who aspire to be tough, powerful and rich by any means always look up to gangsters
