Mamdani? Or Mr Darcy? (I'll get my coat)

Disabled people in Scotland have made it clear that the Motability vehicle scheme is essential to their independence and is not a “luxury”, particularly if they live in a rural area, a new report has found. #Motability www.disabilitynewsservice.com/motability-i...

Labour government stop being shit and corrupt challenge

He can fuck straight off.

BBC radio four this AM are still discussing the stupidity of Brexit as if it has some validity and needs "balance". How many days did they spend looking for a pro Brexit expert ? The spherical earth needs balance by flat earthers ?

It would be great if Burnham turned out to be a sort of 🇬🇧 Mamdani… but cynical old me (I’m 67 and politicians 🤷‍♂️🙄) is expecting Starmer 2.0 only with a more adoring following and readier repartee (viz the t shirt quip) 🤷‍♂️ and the rich will stay rich and the powerful unaccountable 🤬

Any sign of an emergency address to the nation from the frog-faced grifter? Oh... they all seem to be white men, so of course there's not a word: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Men who you’d work with, men who could work with your kids, men whose taxis you might get into. It’s all of you until it’s none of you x

Which part of UK has outperformed the rest since Brexit? Northern Ireland of course, as it has effectively stayed in the EU’s single market!

The way I've gotten this across in talks to US audiences is to explain that by the time the Battle of Gettysburg was fought... ...the London Underground had already been open for six months.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

10 Questions for Nigel Farage

But 1976!

Instead of removing trial by jury, fix shit like this.

More than half way to Net Zero in UK The key fact is that most people believe it is a long way off and hard. Only 8% believe we're halfway there. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Wow, he’s talking about the President of the United States….

WELL HELLO LADIES

Robert Jenrick wants to deport my partner... 🤬🤬🤬

JD Vance studied law at Harvard, and claims to be a (Catholic) Christian. He is saying break ins (burgaries), bugging, espionage, destroying evidence, obstructing investigators, and bribing the burglars aren't a big enough deal to bring down a presidency. He has no morals, no ethics, no integrity.

Farage has had Irish, German and French partners. Jenrick's in-laws were Polish Holocaust survivors. Braverman's parents were from Mauritius and Kenya, her husband was born in South Africa. Yusuf's parents were from Sri Lanka. Tice's partner is an immigrant in Dubai. I mean, you wonder.

Prince Charles is trying to taxmogg you by declaring he paid £12.5m in one year but you gotta remember this is the only family in the UK who are legally allowed to not pay inheritance tax and the family is estimated to have assets of around £20 billion or thereabouts.

Duvets are obsolete now 🥵🌡️. We're sheets people. 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Hermaphrodite, c1700s, from the @soanemuseum.bsky.social 😁

Can’t believe we used to have sixth form debates about “global warming” as it was called then and here I am three decades later living through the heat death of the planet while our leaders are talking about drilling for more oil and watering down net zero

Well I never. It’s almost like banning things doesn’t work and governments should actually do something about holding the social media companies to account

In downtown Los Angeles, a picketing demonstrator protests illegal raids by the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (referred to on her sign as the Immigration Department). Late 1930s, early 1940s.

@richardknott.bsky.social @allshorts.bsky.social @ottoenglish.bsky.social Richard Burgon MP via X: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs..... ....Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs. Let's end this racket!

1976 heatwave was 15 days of average 32.2°C. The UK has been hotter than its peak of 35.9°c on multiple occasions in just the last five years. 2022 we hit 40.1°c. So no, it's not like 50 years ago.

Read this thread. Please. It matters. 🙏

35°C is normal, we used to just call that summer! Here's how many summers topped 32°C 70s 4 80s 2 90s 8 2000s 6 2010s all of them 2020s all of them And here's how many summers topped 35°C 70s 1 80s 0 90s 2 2000s 2 2010s 3 2020s 4 (out of 6 so far)

Yeah, well, it's not about peak temperatures, it's about how hot the whole summer was! OK, 1976 no longer makes the top 5 hottest summers. They are all from 2000 onwards 3/

The peak temperature in 1976 was 35.9°C That doesn't even make the top 10 of UK record temperatures. The 1911 record stood for 79 years The 1990 record stood for 13 years The 2003 record stood for 16 years The 2022 record may be broken this week, after 4 years 2/

PFI Private Finance Initiative I remember the diatribes of the headteachers in PFI schools in the LA where I worked… A seriously bad deal for the public… A black mark for Burnham…

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Here's Palantir's UK supremo Louis Mosley, grandson of the fascist Oswald Mosley, trolling the libs by wearing a black shirt. Again. Believe them when they tell you.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

24 June 2016. The day after when EU citizens across the UK were told to ‘go home’; when the then PM said he would not protect our rights. Stories largely forgotten. BLEA - Brexit Lived Experience Archive - which I am launching today, is here to preserve this history. #Brexit brexit.migravox.org

Push Nigel Farage & Suella Braverman for the details. Are you going to repeal the Equality Act in totality? Who are you going to protect from discrimination? Who won't you protect, and why? If you want to protect and strengthen current women's rights, how will you do it? Details, push for specifics.

Songs, they don't make em like they used to.

"The great disease of mankind is ignorance. With knowledge you can grasp tight a belief: that you can be better, that the world can be better. With that, you can claim hope. Hope is the eternal tool in the survival kit for mankind." (Sidney Poitier)

Fair to say I've been lost in the woods lately, but emerging to post this video to my 959 followers, on behalf of a very close friend of mine; marking one of the biggest achievements of Brexit.

I put my Benedryl Cucumberpatch video on FaceTube: www.youtube.com/shorts/BqDpO... #art #caricature

Brexit has been an objective disaster. Yet, many people who voted for it still believe the reason it failed was not because the politicians selling it to them lied (and profited from those lies), but because it was bungled. Rejoining the EU makes sense, but it's the third rail of British politics.

Cults never blame the prophecy when it fails... instead, they blame the dissenters and non believers who prevented it from happening.

On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote, the best illustration of the disastrous decision to hold an unnecessary and ill-conceived in/out referendum without preparation is the fact that the UK almost immediately descended into political chaos and has since burned six Prime Ministers.

As night follows day the media assault on Burnham will begin as Starmer steps down. The same billionaire-funded propaganda that brought one PM will smear Burnham, pretend governance is simply giving everyone what they want, & ridicule the trade-offs he makes. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Following Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation announcement today, we’ve seen claims that he will be entitled to a £115,000-a-year “pension” as a former Prime Minister. This is misleading. Here’s what that figure actually refers to 👇

It’s an old saying that the worst person to put in charge is the volunteer… Hello Mr Burnham… And there’s a part of me that’s deeply sceptical about this process of leadership change by acclamation… 🤷🏼‍♂️ Que sera…
