Sometimes I love this country.

Does he even own a suit?

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace! #Justice4TheEPSTEIN_SurvivorsNOW ✊

The share of American women and girls age 15 to 44 who would like to move permanently to another country if they had the opportunity: 🟣 45 percent of single women 🟣 41 percent of married women 🟣 44 percent of those who do not have children 🟣 40 percent of those who do

For our latest opinion piece, new contributor @oliveoil77.bsky.social looks back at the legacy of @margaretatwood.bsky.social's #TheHandmaidsTale and how the series feels as worryingly relevant now as it did in went it began. www.thecustardtv.com/the-impact-o...

Remember Trump saying immigrants were “eating the cats, eating the dogs” Now think, what came next? Farage saying immigrants were “eating the swans”. Do you get it? Do you see that playbook? We have to stop falling for the same shit that made the US shoot themselves in the foot.

Bloody foreigners coming over here and saving peoples lives.

ICON. 💔

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

Why can’t we just be on the side of human beings - of whatever religion and skin tone - not suffering and dying?

Incredible to think that people risk their lives for treacherous journeys spanning thousands of miles on land and sea to get here, all so they can try and eat a swan.

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."

I have dealt with my BIG FEELINGS about people saying mean things about London by writing this about 57 things I love in London. There were 100 things I loved, but it got too long for one email. London is inexhaustible. naomialderman.substack.com/p/57-things-...

Congratulations to all students who are collecting their GCSE results today!

Ignore the haters. London is the 🐐

I remember as a kid wondering what 2025 would look like. We all speculated flying cars, robots doing work... Never would I have imagined the world got completely stupid as we are now. We can see the problems, there are solutions to the problems, but we don't act. Why? Because greed won't let us.

European leaders dropping everything, last minute, to rally behind Zelensky in Washington is one of the Continent’s finest political moments this century.

People are people. I don’t care what colour you are. I don’t care what sexual orientation you are. I don’t care what religion you are. What I care about is how you treat others. That’s it.

The far right terrorising asylum seekers in hotels love to spread the lie they’re worried about the risk of sexual assault. But here’s the truth: Two in five men arrested for last summer’s riots had been reported for domestic abuse. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Sooner or later something terrible is going to happen at one of these hotels and the politicians and media outlets who have spent the past year whipping it all up will have to carry the blame

Modern life: trying to consume just enough news and social media to stay informed but not so much that you become paranoid or mentally unwell.

Why are we still not doing anything when images like this are coming out of Gaza? Why are all these governments just letting Israel carry on lying and murdering way beyond any reasonable defensive response? While the UK government arrests people for showing a copy of Private Eye. I despair.

Ozzy Osbourne. Like the stars above your head and the ground beneath your feet - one of those things you thought would go on and on and on. RIP.

Every day, the same story, the same moral pit. The fall of this murderous government can't come soon enough. The only suitable place for Netenyahu is in court for war crimes.

Spare some time today to remember all those killed, injured and traumatised on this day twenty years ago in the London bombings, and recall the public service workers who responded to those horrific attacks with such bravery and dedication.

Today, we mark 20 years since the horrendous 7 July terror attacks shook our city.

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

See how quickly that escalated… We put fragile, emotionally underdeveloped narcissists in power …and then we wonder how wars start.

Week after week the media whip up anger and outrage with their ragebait headlines. They only tell you half the facts, spend more time on speculation and what 'could' be and then next to no time on the details of actual plans. We are well over due better regulation of our media.

Well done to everyone running the London Marathon today 🏃‍♀️ 🥇 You’re all superstars in my eyes. All the training, hard work and dedication that’s gone into today is incredible, and the charities and causes you’re championing and raising awareness of will benefit greatly. I’m cheering you all on 🙌🏼

The always inspiring London Marathon! Congratulations and truly well done to everyone taking part 💪❤️🙏

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

I will post this forever, there are so many who’ve never heard the vocals… youtu.be/3WDtR4UQ2io #raveyardshift

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Hillsborough Law is important for scandals like Windrush, Post Office, Grenfell too. @inquest-org.bsky.social does brilliant work listening to people affected. Starmer must not go back on such an important promise to people who have suffered huge injustice. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Another big insult to countries, like the UK, who did exactly this and fought and died alongside the US after 9/11

Keir Starmer has played a blinder this weekend. After the shameful event at the WH there is no doubt Zelensky will have renewed hope tonight. Add to that Starmer gathered a large number of world leaders to work together on trying to find a peace deal. Real leadership from a real leader 🙂

Zelenskyy is greeted with a warm hug by Starmer and crowds of supporters in the street, he is then given full assurance that he is supported for as long as it takes. That is precisely what we all needed to see after the despicable and ugly scenes yesterday.

I don't give a fuck about being labelled woke or a lefty or a righty or an innie or a fucking outie. I'm pro humanity and the beautiful things people do for each other. I'm pro love, no matter the creed, colour or gender that you are or wanna be or used to be. I'm pro human kindness. Goodnight. MK💜

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

True hero.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.
