2°c this morning, so Herbie wore his toasty duvet coat for the first time this year. Look at that fat little greyhound bottom. #greyhounds

Thin skinned, insecure tossers. I find it a handy shorthand description that can be applied to any one of them.

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

Why is it that all this government and several of the opposition parties seemingly have to offer is 'tough, tough, tough' on everything? What happened to empathy and compassion? What happened to working hard to make as many people's lives as possible better?

Doesn’t matter. “Starmer and Mahmood wanted to take jewellery from asylum seekers” is a mark those two will never be able to wash off and which the party as a whole will have to put in onerous work to remove.

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

It appears that our Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has been inspired by Kirsti Noem - and finds her to have an “under appreciated intellect and eye for detail” and is now following her lead. Isn’t that just utterly horrifying. Of all Starmer’s picks for cabinet, she has to be the worst.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Just another of those days when I hate this government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Yeah, they've done a lot of good stuff and it's buried beneath all the media hatebait on immigration. But now they're leaning into it, tacking with it, applauded by the most miserable joyless fucking people on earth and I reckon this is the bleakest I've ever felt about a Labour government...

I'm taking🌲etsy orders for just a few more days: 🌿Real flowers cast in silver+ tiny hand-sculpted silver wren necklaces 💐Victorian ink bottle kits to improve mental health 🗓️A very few calendars* 🪸Ltd ed'n art prints of my photos* *Looking at them's likely to ⬇️⬇️ anxiety: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

There was fear & flags on one side. Compassion and humour on the other. Peterborough shows love wins.

Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now

Noooooo www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

THIS. THIS is what I'm talking about.

Know a lot of my Bsky friends are in the US & lord knows you've got plenty going on over there today, but if anyone is scratching their heads over the BBC story & Trump & Co sounding off about left wing bias, can recommend this. Tories have done to the BBC board what Trump did to the SC #greyhounds

Took Herbie on a new walk through the marshes today. Didn't realise a train line ran along the edge. Seems Herbie has never heard a train before & he was a bit concerned. Not the nicest weather, but a sausage roll in a steamed up car seemed to help. #greyhounds

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

We can’t get enough of Stella’s happy face! 😄🐾 From scared to smiling, that’s what love does. 💛 #RescueDogs #LoveHeals #HappyDog

Jacket dammit, jacket

My hokey, hastily thought out opinion on Celebrity Traitors People shouldn't fear diversity. Not just of race and sexuality though, but of education, skillset, personality type, ambition, financial leverage, cultural taste, sense of humour. Aspiring to monoculture is to waste the richness of life.

Using a GIF or vid, share your mood for the weekend! 🖤

Daddy took me for a trip to the beach. He said it was a gentlemen's outing, but Mum pushed her way in & took photos. She managed to chop my nose off again. #greyhounds

OMG!!!!!

The sunrise was quite something today*. Even Herbie was impressed. *picture doesn't do it justice. #greyhounds

I lost the framed original of this while I was going through St Pancras on Sunday Nov 2nd around 3pm. Would love if it had been found by anyone?

Found these two beauties on Herbie's walk today. Such beautiful colours. Fly Agaric I think, but didn't do a proper check. I also didn't lick them, will stick with strange tea. #greyhounds #norfolk #dogwalks

“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

Herbie doing his double chin exercises while planning another dynamic day. #greyhounds

I thought I'd do some exciting action shots of Herbie on the beach. As you see, my video skills need some work 😭😂 He enjoyed himself anyway #greyhounds

@simmagolda.bsky.social My little treat arrived today. Haven't had time to try it yet.

What about Wales? The Senedd demands equal pillaging. Seriously, why are UK govt. departments still using & legitimising this lying ket-bag's platform?

Sniff sniff. Is that chicken Daddy? Might there be a tiny morsel for me? #greyhounds

Some of us were talking about how long it can take an adopted dog to warm up. Today 2yrs 7mths & 3wks since Herbie came home, this is the closest he's ever come to putting his head in my lap. Had some strokes & slept. Might have been the scary fireworks last night, who knows. Tiny steps #greyhounds

He walks among us 🧌 #norfolk

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Can we please not have Farage wriggle out of this one. His denial is not where this should end. He’s up to his grubby neck in dodgy shite. Beyond time our media stopped handing him free passes and started to properly scrutinise him.

Fat squirrel week has just taken place. Chunkosaurus Rex 🐿️👀beat stiff competition, including the extremely beefy Bingus (👀) & indisputable nut-nibbling rotund unit Chunk Norris to claim the title. Important: www.instagram.com/reel/DQXvMJ2...

Herbie doesn't celebrate Halloween, but he'd like to wish all his Bluesky friends a happy evening. Or not. At least he opened one eye. Happy Halloween from me, on his behalf. #greyhounds

Herbie has had a walk & would very much like to go to sleep. But Mummy has a chocolate biscuit & if he can just keep his eyes open a little bit longer, he thinks it will be his. #greyhounds

Repost this with you and your significant other (not really)

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families

Finally finished every one of the appointments, obligations & pain in the bum jobs that were in the diary for the last week. 💩 So Herbie got the long walk in his favourite wood today. Seasons really are changing & Herbie is our little autumn bear now. #greyhounds

Fuck this cnut. What a truly vile person.

Easiest homework assignment EVER! (Today's Guardian if anyone's looking for it, couldn't link)
