If there are any historians left after the next war, they will record yesterday’s disastrous decision by the Labour NEC as the moment when a fascist takeover of the country became inevitable.

Brilliant as usual 🤣

Reminds me of the old joke. What did the penguin say to the polar bear? "One of us is lost"

Apologise? Trump?? You must be bloody joking 😡 www.forcesnews.com/operations/a...

Looks like a handy piece of kit. Maybe 🇺🇸 should order some to help with those pesky ol’ Californian forest fires. www.forcesnews.com/nato/typhoon...

I’m no expert on AI but I’d say that if that block of ice were real it would have done significant damage to that building www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Just been reading about Ronald Evans, CMP of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon. Holds the record for the longest time in solo lunar orbit (accompanied by 5 white mice. Died at the tragically early age of 57. en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...

It occurs to me the reason Maria Machado gave her medal to Donald had nothing to do with politics. She wanted to show the world he was a greedy little piggie wig, totally deluded. Any normal man would have refused to take it.

I should imagine the Second War of the Roses will scupper this www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🤣🤣🤣

The Beeb seem to have missed the opportunity of saying that Kulibayev bought Sunninghill Park for “a princely sum”… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not sure I believe all this. Thugs in balaclavas with access to lethal weapons. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

Gosh. Vital news item 🤪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think this means trouble. 🇺🇸 seize tanker flying under 🇷🇺 flag, no matter how fake that is. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Not even my black sense of humour can find anything funny about this tragic mistake www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was worried Trump might decide to nuke Greenland. Especially now I see the capital is Nook and he may get confused 😱 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More goose puns than you can shake a stick at www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Train to Cambridge was practically deserted just now. It’ll probably be packed with “the finest brains in the country” on the way back🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well there’s a surprise.

Yet another colour scheme change. I suppose I can live with it 😳 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And cats. Let’s hear it for the best cats in the known universe.

@mariannemc.bsky.social I just followed you. I promise I won’t ask for a date or attempt to steal your life savings.

@ada-l.bsky.social I’m also a Twitter refugee and a supporter of Kier Starmer, though I do worry about the unforced errors….

@ada-l.bsky.social Thankyou for following me back. You’ll get comments on most of the things you mention in your profile, especially Labour and cats. Here’s a couple to start you off 😊. And an AI pic of someone you might recognise. I still have half a roll of DJT novelty toilet paper somewhere.

@davidbflower.bsky.social The clouds have rolled away and viewing conditions are perfect for the Geminids. Unfortunately there’s this big silvery thing in the sky shining fit to bust and destroying all hope of seeing anything smaller than a bolide 😳

For this to be used effectively, we need more ships. Simples. Or not so simples. The first steel on HMS Glasgow was cut in 2017 and she won’t be operational until 2027. We’re not building enough of them. And don’t even mention the cost. A NATO rollout would help www.navylookout.com/royal-navys-...

At the vet. Tigger was no problem but getting Moonlight into her travel basket was like getting Donald Trump into court. Exactly like it actually - she kept farting at me 🤣🤣🤣

There are still 303 of these on the roads out of a total production run of 1065. That’s pretty good. Ask yourself when you last saw a Hillman Imp or an original BMC Mini. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m against capital punishment in all its forms. But in an idle moment I did wonder whether a Judge Jeffreys style Bloody Assize might be appropriate in this case. On the other hand he did come to a bit of a sticky end - died of kidney failure in the Tower. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They need proper gun laws. But that’s not going to happen in my lifetime 😳 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Uh oh 😳. I’ve done a quick assessment on the Venezuelan armed forces and it’s no contest. Biggish army, elderly Russian jets. They do have an old diesel electric sub which could conceivably take out the Ford but it doesn’t seem to have been to sea for several years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The cardboard box fetishist strikes again 🙄

This makes little sense. Do they mean solar storms? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is sad. The ship is 72,000 tons and it’s 30 years old. I’ve never been on a cruise but it’s like staying in a large, well equipped hotel, with extra features to enjoy such as seasickness and falling overboard. I hope they find him. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

327 people are shot EVERY DAY in 🇺🇸 and 116 of them die. Wonder why that is? Whadya gonna do about it, Donnie boy? Any ideas running round that fetid mess you call a brain? None? Oh, what a shame. Spoiler - the answer is not and is never going to be “more guns” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dear ol’ Donnie. Wouldn’t know a third world country if it bit him on the ankle. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is just the start. The Project 2025 leaders of 🇺🇸 who pull Trump’s strings will get him to fling out anyone who is brown and oppress the populace with troops on the streets. Trump is just doing what he’s told. He’s not really aware of what’s happening. He’s a PINO. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well, at least it proves the OBR got a look at it. Which is more than can be said for Liz Truss’ disastrous budget 😳 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I will stop that madman from ‘playing’ the piano at any cost😡

💤💤Is anyone else out there sick to the back teeth of the slavering budget speculation in the press which has been going on for at least a month and has now reached fever pitch? Hello? Hello? Oh never mind 💤💤💤

@wcooperbooks.bsky.social Hmm. I’m about to finish a SciFi/fantasy novel and I have a publisher. I suspect the really hard work is about to start. I have ideas for a historical novel next. Did you have problems with copyright?

Good for you, Kate. Spot on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.

Tigger and moonlight are working hard to make sure their ageing servants don’t forget to feed them

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Once-extinct wildcats to make a comeback in England. 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump has stopped holding rallies. He has only held 4 this year and the last one was on 3rd July in Des Moines, Iowa. It couldn’t possibly be that his minders are shielding the public from his accelerating mental decline. Could it?

Bah humbug 😡

@cillacat.bsky.social I used to sneer at people who posted pics of their cats. Then a couple of rescues acquired us and things have changed a bit.
