The movement now has its own “Ohio” thanks to Bruce Springsteen‘s “Streets of Minneapolis”: youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

Sadly, result is parties (of whatever colour) treating the whole business of politics as a game in which main objective is to defeat opponents, rather than to deliver what is best for people of this country.

How many potential Reform UK Ltd voters realise that the Party want to bring Minneapolis to the UK? How many British Mums and ICU nurses will die?

This is the level of connection to a seat that would win a place in the #BBC5Live "parliament" hosted by @mattchorley.bsky.social

OMG the light aqua lung cancer curve. This is what good news looks like

How will the presence of ICE agents improve safety and security of US Olympic athletes at winter games? www.reuters.com/sports/us-ic...

"When it comes to introducing ICE style terrorisation in UK cities" "When it comes to tear-gassing peaceful protesters " "When it comes to shooting ICU nurses" "We will fail unless we leave the ECHR"

Arguably more significant than defections, internal party politics and the Beckhams… In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles. We need to challenge the nonsense spread by anti vaxxers and ensure children are protected. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... news.sky.com/story/uk-los...

It’s a dark old world just now, so I’ll just post this older classic here. m.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJc...

Y'see folks? Y'see what you're voting for with Reform? Those of you who are poor and think that it's foreigners who are ruining your lives just can't see that it's people like him who can quite happily afford US style health insurance while you get dumped in life's skip if you're ill.

Imagine Ben Stokes blocking the selection of Joe Root for the England team, in case he might be seen as a potential rival for the captaincy at some time in the future. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I got a parking ticket in 1985. Guess that makes me a legitimate target for execution if I was ever stupid enough to visit USA again.

Well it's a start. And more than he would normally do. No mention of course of other NATO troops, especially Denmark. And no apology for his earlier insult.

The Trump regime says ICE is detaining terrorists, murderes, and rapists. Which one is she?

Bored of Peace given a suitable Led by Donkeys treatment. It'll die with Trump's rule. And where will Gaza be then?

Trump now wants to invade the Heard and McDonald Islands, after the penguins didn't submit to his tariffs

Quote post a gif with a clue where you're from

I thought we weren't supposed to use stereotypes for patients in medical exams?

Proof that authors are anonymised when reviewers see the paper.

But we in UK don't need the European Convention on Human Rights?

Given the large numbers of flu and Covid cases filling our hospitals, the unacceptable numbers in "corridor care", and still too long ambulance handover waits, compulsory vacations for all NHS staff are essential.

Make America Gruesome Already ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy arriving home, say school officials www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This man could've had an incredible career in standup comedy

This statement is on US Department of State website. It includes the following excerpt: "President Trump expressed his support for the monumental achievement during his meeting with Prime Minister Starmer in the White House." www.state.gov/u-s-support-...

I didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize either. Think I might invade the Canary Islands. Just because Spain landed some boats there 500 years ago doesn't give them the right to own it.

In honour of MLK Jr Day I Have a Dream - 2026 I have a dream that a nation that taught the world the language of liberty, will once again remember what the words mean, that freedom is not a brand, democracy not a costume, and justice not a slogan to be worn & discarded depending on the season 1/9

Trump cannot imagine a country where the political leader doesn't have total absolute control of everything that happens there. Says more about him tha n Norway

Yes, Davos, the playground for rich and famous today was once home for desperate tuberculosis patients seeking a cure in sanatoria

How do you think those consultants got to be confident decision makers? Hint - it wasn't by using an AI app.

I am slightly worried about the consequences if JD Vance tells Trump that he is going to Nuuk, Greenland.

FIFA would be more likely to relocate a match from Chicago to Nuuk.

who’d have thought that killing bacteria or draining an abscess might briefly make a patient worse? turns out, smashing pathogens into inflammatory confetti has consequences. that transient crash doesn’t always mean failure. sometimes it means success. 🎙️ The Host Response, Ep 019

I feel sorry for Scotland fans. A once in a generation chance to support their team in a World Cup, and FIFA and their fascist friend have ruined it.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

Pedant here but he still won't have received the Nobel peace prize. If Usain Bolt gives me his gold medals I am not suddenly an Olympic champion sprinter.

I see Trump is threatening to attack the country's leaders if government officers fire on demonstrators in Tehran. Does the same apply if government officers fire on demonstrators in Minnesota or Oregon?

Going to the library to look through volumes of Index Medicus to search for references.

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you! I'm a Himalayan 0mountain on the approach to Kathmandu airport that caught and destroyed a plane in 1992. Newlyweds Dr and Mrs W should have been on it, but had delayed their return to Nepal by a week to miss the Dasain festival.

Ok Starmer, you wanted further information before commenting on the illegal attack on a sovereign nation. Anything to say now? @pmkierstarmer.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

What would be fitting is if the world boycotted the Olympic Games.

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

Starmer must condemn Trump’s illegal actions in Venezuela

And unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation. Kidnap of elected president. Theft of assets (oil) Time for international condemnation of the rogue state, sanctions, boycott sporting events (including Olympics and FUFA World Cup), seizing assets.

London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

With New Year glad tidings that all UK young children can be offered protection against chickenpox for the first time on the NHS, let's us not forget the need to vaccinate against the pernicious disease - measles.

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet. (This is the most recent with both of my dogs)

I regret to inform you that I am, apparently, dead. Along with millions of other people who might not be aware of their demise. On the plus side, I did not die of Covid.

Somebody needs to stop those Islamic Militant Quakers. And the Jihadi Norwegians.
