Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID. But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.

This…. 👇🏼 #bluesky

Given what we learned this week about Musk's father allegedly sexually abusing 5 of his 6 children, is this a surprise ? And we all suspect Andrew Windsor is a nonce. (I make no allegations).

Happy #flowersonfriday from the lovely Kensington Gardens 🌿

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

This is about more than the environment. It’s about protecting families, strengthening the economy, and ensuring a fair transition. Read more here: www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

"I must protest," said Miss Hettie, "in the strongest terms." Fine. But into the carrier and off to the cattery you go, my love, while we swan off to Somerset for our annual social whirl down there, old friends and new.

Lunch: fresh fruit salad (home-made) followed by a chocolate bar. Sticking to a balanced diet.

Transition to Madness

FIFA World Cup should look into moving to a safe country!

Hmm.

Russian forces have reportedly fallen into three simultaneous encirclements. Ukrainian troops cut off retreat routes while drones track reinforcements. Ukraine’s Dnipro command confirms advances, saying Russian logistics near Dobropillia are collapsing and retreating troops are trapped under fire.

Is it "move to Dubai"?

I think of digital ID cards as akin to the voter ID laws passed by the Tories. It fuels a lie that there are a lot of illegal immigrants unfairly working or claiming benefits, and if only we had the instrument we could find them and stop them. Not true!

Same energy.

“The belief that uncontrolled legal migration was nothing but good news for an economy should never have been accepted on the Left,” writes Starmer “fighting” populism. What does even mean “uncontrolled” in the case of legal migration? www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f9444c6...

Illegal working is facilitated by dodgy bosses. Dodgy bosses don't check for an NI number now, they're not going to check for an ID card ... ID cards are a solution in search of a problem

Gah! Mrs Tony is still testing positive for COVID, nearly two weeks in! 😥 On the positive side, that’s also put a stop to her planned visit to the garden centre

Still a couple of these available, and some new ones in time for Christmas. There is also an instalment payment option if you want to split art pebble costs… :D #birdart #bsnm #birds

Yep, that's great. Just fantastic. We were told that Starmer would lay out the patriotic case for diversity today. What we got was an article in the Telegraph, behind a paywall, about how the left failed to tackle immigration and now we all have to have ID cards www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09...

Green Heron (Butorides virescens): A 44cm (17in) Heron native to North & Central American wetlands. Like all Herons they feed on fish, also taking aquatic insects. They are both intelligent & agile. Fantastic shot taken by Wes Peterson in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.. #greenheron #heron #wildlife

"I once said migrants were eating swans, just to stir up more hatred among the thick twats who believe anything I say"

Disappointment at Starmer’s ID cards on ice… BUT… - concern about illegal immigration exploded because the far right wanted it to. - immigrants are not to blame for creaking public services. Govts are. - the hostile environment encourages exploitation. - don’t wave the flag in our faces. Be honest.

My heart aches for trans people who are now more fearful than ever. The vast majority just want to live a normal life, under the radar, but in a gender different to that assigned to them at birth. This ruling won’t help them do that.

goddamn this is good

Cracking timing to announce digital ID, in the wake of cyber hacking including Legal Aid Agency, M&S, Co-op, Jaguar and a children's nursery group in London. What could possibly go wrong??

The Dallas shooter was NOT anti-ICE. He was a right wing 4chan video game addicted meme-lord who was anti-immigrant. FFS! The left doesn’t do high powered weapons to kill people from afar! Mass shootings of innocent people is a power trip for WHITE DUDES!

major traffic incident

According to a recent Animal Crimes report, the ones likely to support #HerrFrottagé in Kent, have been killing Swans and other Wildlife with ballbearings fired from Catapults. But then, killing for Sport is his thing, isn't it!

The perennial myth about migrants eating swans stretches back to at least 2003 when the Sun printed it as a front page story. It was later obliged to clarify that it had zero evidence. Farage must be fairly desperate to be trotting that one out www.itv.com/news/2025-09...

😂😂

Fagash - they’re eating the swans, they’re eating the carp! Clearly we have very middle class migrants. 😬

Here's just one of the gorgeous pictures of my son and his wife walking his sister-in-law down the aisle, last month. What an amazing week of celebrations they had!

We don't have all the details yet, but the shooter must have been a lousy shot. He only hit three detainees in bright, orange jumpsuits, and not the agents detaining them. Seems like an odd detail to omit, if he was in fact targeting ICE agents.

The Dallas shooter is Joshua Jahn. He ain't a minority. He ain't transgender. He ain't an immigrant. Yet another white kid with a serious gun fixation.

Might have annoyed people at work by referring to AI as 'an ouroboros of bullshit'.

The Emperor Has No Clothes!

Trump is such a little, mean spirited, pathetic little man

You think they know he’s crazy yet?

"Trump’s sudden shift in rhetoric is due to his ego being bruised because his “friend” Putin's consistently dissed him. It's as if he's a 10-year-old in a schoolyard whining that ‘Vlad’s being a dick to me, so I’m just gonna be friends with Zelenskyy now' andyostroy.substack.com/p/dont-be-fo...
