What deals has Trump made that haven't collapsed?

Mr Pickering claimed the officer was asked whether he could arrest the protester for supporting a proscribed group. “[The officer] said: ‘No, I can’t.’ And they said: ‘Why not?’ He said: ‘Because he hasn’t got Palestine Action written on him. He’s got Plasticine Action written on him.’”

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Holy fuck

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple £35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition now to show them the public still backs this nature-friendly fix:

Exactly what I've been saying. Trans men in female spaces. And what's to stop cos men pretending to be a trans man in a single sex space

Glad others agree with my pet peeve 🤣

Trump reposted this remark by Putin that “Trump would “restore order” in Europe & that European countries “will all stand at the feet of the master and will tenderly wag their tails”. “The grim truth is that Vladimir Putin and Trump are united by their scorn for the European democracies”

The USA is switching sides. Britain alongside the rest of Europe really need to work out what they will do next www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

Anyone who knows of me absolutely knows this is a low life scam… but I worry for those who don’t know me that well so please report and spread the message…

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

"They don’t have ordinary people’s interests at heart." @carladenyer.bsky.social on how to defeat far-right figures like Elon Musk. Read the full piece below ⤵️ https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/stand-farright-billionaires-threatening-democracy

Elon Musk has, and should have, absolutely nothing to do with British Politics. Repost if you agree.

“Latest science shows 1 metre of sea level rise now inevitable within a century or so & could come as early as 2070”. How on earth do political leaders read this stuff & reconcile it with their continued failure to act? ‘Cognitive dissonance’ doesn’t come close ….

Thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on @lbc.co.uk to talk about lack of safe routes for refugees & story of little Wissam, who died after crossing the Channel. Considered, human conversation about channel crossings is rare on our airwaves. Thank you. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Not claiming to know much about this case but why has the prison officer got approximately the same sentence as the prisoners etc? Drugs in prison are a huge problem, that she should have known, and she was in a position of trust! BBC News - Guard smuggled drugs into prison in Pot Noodle

These photos have been sent to us by a lovely supporter, who rehomed Conker earlier this year. 💚 After 6 months of love and care she's had an incredible transformation and loves spending time outside. Tell the UK Government to #EndTheCageAge for hens➡️ bit.ly/3xXsQuQ

I love this.

In today's episode of "Your Victorian Pharmacist is Trying to Kill You"👇 Heroin was first synthesized in 1874. Bayer commercialized the drug & began mass producing it in 1898. The drug was promoted as a cough suppressant as well as a better and safer substitute for morphine and codeine.

Been watching the Goldfinches and Sparrows enjoying the feeders today. Glad I remembered to sort them out when they were full of snow yesterday morning!

Well done Doncaster 👏👏 Shows what's possible. If only this could be replicated across the country. A place where children feel cared for and belong shouldn't be too much to ask BBC News - 'Outstanding' rating for children's home www.bbc.com/news/article...

Seven-spot Ladybirds, are not all the same size as you can see in this photo. Most Ladybirds will have found somewhere to overwinter by now.

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp, which reads: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer survived, as his name later appears on a list of freed men. #skystorians

Most plants have minimal genomes; one tiny fern is a big exception.

A school of juvenile bar jacks chafes against a pregnant Caribbean reef shark, dislodging loose scales and ectoparasites. On this reef, I observed three different species using sharks’ skin as a chafing tool — an underappreciated aspect of sharks’ ecological function. #MarineLife #Ecology

Yay or nay? This hand-blown glass wine decanter is shaped like blood vessels. It was designed by the French artist Etienne Meneau. It looks cool, but I reckon it would be a nightmare to clean!
