Draft dodging Pretender-in-chief

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

I'm sure I speak for the whole world when I thank Trump for stopping the war between Armenia and Cambodia PS: they are 4000 miles apart. Combined airforces have just over 100 planes. Cambodia has 20 ships, Armenia is land-locked PPS: Trump is in an advanced state of cognitive decline

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

To all serving in US Armed Forces, A reminder that your sworn oath is to support the US Constitution. I appreciate the difficulty where the Supreme Commander and even SCOTUS appear to be ignoring it

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Do you remember the 1990's joke: Q: Why do people take an instant dislike to Peter Mandelson? A: Saves time PS: Surely you realise that Mandelson engineered the 2019 election loss & thrust Starmer into the Labour leadership. Keith won't want to take away his reward.

The SNP Scottish government is working to decrease child poverty. It is 23% in Scotland but 31% in England and Wales due to measures like the unique Scottish Child payment. www.actionforchildren.org.uk/blog/where-i...

@mayo-clinic.bsky.social Thank you for the follow & happy to follow back

The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

This !!!!!! One hundred percent

Spoken like a true Tory, Rachel PS: you're actually supposed to be a Labour Chancellor BTW

1. Some people align their morality with the law, and consider breaking it to be immoral, even when the law is oppressive. I point them to my Dutch in-laws, who broke the law by sheltering a Jewish boy, and the Nazi soldiers and Dutch police, whose raids seeking criminals like them upheld the law.🧵

I dunno who sent me a DM but I can't access it as the stupid UK Govt in London wants me to prove my age. Bluesky will have had to implement this to continue their service to UK IP addresses I feel a VPN coming on

People calling for peace, who wish no harm on anyone, risk arrest under the Terrorism Act, while the state terrorists perpetrating genocide are being protected from our free speech.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Heh Bluesky - what happened the Scotland flag emoji? The saltire looks like this

Breaking news: "Rat joins sinking ship"

I'm now blocking anyone stating that people protesting vs the government's ban on Palestine Action deserve to be arrested. Yeah, sure, it's an opinion and you're welcome to it. But if you can't understand what's wrong with arresting peace campaigners under the Terrorism Act, I have no time for you.

Lots of time and effort has gone into the Independent Water Commission, which reports tomorrow. Unfortunately, it's a largely wasted exercise, because the government insisted that renationalisation of the water companies was outside its terms of reference: ie, it was not allowed to consider it.🧵

I'm very disappointed that only 70% of Scots have "an unfavourable view of Trump" - the other 30% can't be paying attention "Unfavourable" is pretty a pithy term though ... "makes my skin crawl" might have pushed it up to 90% www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating "I support Palestine. Action must be taken." My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

Big "thank yous" to my new followers and particularly to those who've included me in their Starter Pack The reason I haven't been posting much is that I am still emerging from a pretty brutal treatment for throat cancer I'm saving up my anti-Trump angst until I am firing on all cylinders again

@chwita.bsky.social Thanks for the follow Chris Have you any photos of Scotland you'd be willing to let me use in my national showcase please? Doesn't matter if you don't know what it is, I will classify and repost (with credits) bsky.app/profile/scot...

Thank you so much for including me in this starter pack - you've kept me busy following back (which I will do 100%) Thanks again

The president is a felon, a r*pist, and a pedophile. I feel like that should be a non-partisan point of disgust.

Thank you once again - will 100% followback

As long as these six justices control the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Constitution is dead. There's no federal republic left to save, only states. @vox.com www.vox.com/scotus/41758...

While child poverty rose in the UK, in Scotland it fell by 12% since 2017. We must go even further. To give every child the best start in life, we’re taking real action: ✅ Delivering the Scottish Child Payment ✅ Expanding free school meals ✅ Ending the two-child cap news.stv.tv/scotland/dro...

Does that mean we'll be getting the Trump Tehran video to go with the awful Trump Gaza one?

Trump’s reckless strike on Iran has unleashed chaos, emboldened Israel, and brought the world closer to a catastrophic new war. Attack on Iran shows Trump's incredible weakness ~ George Grundy independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

@azzacohen.bsky.social Azza, you may be interested to study how the UK corporate media portrayed Nicola Sturgeon (former First Minister of Scotland) Ultimately they brought her down not over independence, but over cross-party gender id legislation passed by Scottish parliament

"If you could only follow 3 accounts, which ones would they be?" I am on a mission to create the 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 BlueSky Feed of left-leaning politics, news and commentary. Corporate Media spreads its Right-Wing lies internationally so we need to be similarly organised to resist

Well Maura ... remember that oath you took to defend the US Constitution? Still applies even if your Supreme Commander is the problem

@fightforwardfancy.bsky.social Thank you for the follow & delighted to followback

"In American history, has any president treated the office as more of a cash machine?!" Author of 'The Big Short', Michael Lewis, on what the Democrats could use to effectively attack Trump - as corruption accusations don't cut it. @maitlis.bsky.social

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
