@theguardian.com and @mayorofgm.bsky.social Nice. Pithy: 'Reform UK is abandoning its claims that it is a friend of the working class and revealing itself to be a full-on Thatcherite force with added Trumpian fervour.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Shame on all the Lords and Ladies who have resisted this bill. This is an outrage. I do not want palliative care, even if it's gold plated. I want the right to die with dignity at a time of my own choosing.

🤔🤔🤔 Making big claims from a poll of a self-selecting sample isn’t very clever, but he’s always been a difficult man to take seriously 🙄

I've just signed up for this. The links between poverty and mental health are clear. If we want a healthier nation, we need to address poverty.

If Stuart Anderson is misrepresenting the facts about fox hunting, what else is he misrepresenting the facts about?

How I love a misty #Shropshire landscape, with its eerie white silence transporting you into a world of your own. I was standing on the ramparts of Nordy Bank hill fort on Brown Clee for this shot, watching as an ethereal scene unfolded beneath me.

US (and other) imperialism, hiding in plain sight.

"When the truth is horrific and painful it's often denied." Ain't that the truth

"Mate honestly, I don't know why you bother coming"

When the truth is horrific and painful it's often denied. I know this from years of clinical practice in mental health.

The food industry and the psy industry have a lot in common. 25 years since Fast Food Nation. 34 years since We've Had 100 Years Of Psychotherapy And The World Is Getting Worse. Just the natural trajectory of neoliberal capitalism. www.midpsy.uk

If you had the ability to know how your life would end, would you want to?

Labour. Selling the UK to the US. Right now we should be getting as far away from US reliance as possible.... Absolute lunacy.

No wonder it's so hard to trust anyone these days.

'Psychotherapy must surely be the only profession to posit fundamental principles such as client 'resistance' to account for its inability to deliver the goods.' David Smail 2005

'There is, I suggest, a strong positive correlation between a) the height of the rung occupied on the ladder of power, b) the strength of a sense of personal virtue, and c) the firmness of the conviction that those lower down should act more responsibly.' David Smail 2005

What is the proper punishment for hateful social media posts? Should you lose your account? Your job? Your citizenship? Go to jail? Die?

Pity poor Jacob Rees-Mogg.😔 He turns up at a TV studio with an almighty bad hangover to find a somewhat disturbed & deranged elderly woman preaching at him. 😱

the term *robber* seems too feeble to address current affairs. terrorist seems far more appropriate

'The reluctant conclusion that I find myself forced to contemplate is that truth plays only a very minor role in shaping the conduct of human beings, and one should not be puzzled by the observation that no one seems to take much notice of it.' David Smail 2006

Robber: a person who takes property unlawfully by force or threat of force. Trump is a robber. He is robbing people all over the world, in plain sight. He's already in the process of robbing the UK, via the BBC. We must respond with solidarity against this desipicable, selfish man.

Trump is a robber. He is robbing people all over the world, in plain sight. He's already in the process of robbing the UK, via the BBC. This is only just the beginning, unless we respond with solidarity against this desipicable, selfish man.

This is food and eating. People need to realise that similar applies to mental health. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Asked who would be running Venezuela now that we kidnapped their leader, Trump replied, "We are" and that "We're going to make a lot of money." This is insane. This is all insane and highly illegal and globally destabilizing. The United States has become a rogue nation. What's the world going to do?

And he was supposed to take questions at the end but instead blithely handed the microphone off to Pete Hegseth, easily the weirdest and least comforting Secretary of Defense of my lifetime Hegseth is now monologuing with an almost sexual intensity about American soldiers

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil. He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA. How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way? The USA is a rogue nation.

Nige I think Russia and China might think: what's ok for you is also ok for me

I'm with you. But how?
