Wild swimming is fun but can be dangerous. If you’re going alone, tell someone and message them before and after. Wear a wetsuit (for flotation + warmth). Use a dry bag (put your stuff in, blow it up - is a flotation device). Stay near the shore unless with a guide. Check tides & local warnings. 🏊🏽‍♂️🏊

It makes a lot of sense that it’s Iceland which has always been ranked as one of the most gender equal countries in the world 🇮🇸 And probably English not being the first language shields from a lot of imported American poison.

Reform are panicking about Labour’s Andy Burnham winning the Makerfield by-election. Former candidate Matt Goodwin and several others are calling for “patriotic” voters to get behind Reform because, they say, Burnham will call a snap election when Leader and block them till 2031.

Some people who want a family, can't afford one. The worst on the right will force birth kids in to poverty vs let someone with more melanin make a new home for themselves and as many people do, irrespective of their ethnicity, increase the worker to pensioner number, without waiting 16 years.

Not sure if you saw this, my ursine friend russincheshire.substack.com/p/the-indisp...

Would you prefer: 1. Migration down to zero? OR: 2. Functioning public services, a growing economy, pensions being contributed to, taxes being paid, universities staying afloat, care homes staffed and the NHS not collapsing into a smoking crater? One or the other - you can’t have both.

Let's not forget the best Labour has to offer right now is a maybe Burnham MP, maybe Burnham PM who wants to continue with Darth Mahmood's hostile immigration policies.

On immigration, trans individuals, disability rights, mental health, the right to protest, basic human rights in general, Labour has rolled back what remained of protections for many. Modern slavery victims are at more risk, trans individuals face "normalised" discrimination.

Let's not forget the best Labour has to offer right now is a maybe Burnham MP, maybe Burnham PM who wants to continue with Darth Mahmood's hostile immigration policies.

The reality is, in practicality, that Labour is the most anti rights government we have had pretty much in modern times. You can't even use the Tories hideous Rwanda policy to deflect seeing as Starmer supports a back door version with his "returns hub".

Saudi Arabia says normalisation with Israel is conditional on an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state, CNN reports.

Whiny whiny whiny. “Everyone’s saying bad things about me, mom.”

And of course a Labour government that has failed on so many things with an astonishing speed - this situation is grotesque

@greenpartyhan.bsky.social Labour are too busy to pay attention to public health. The covid19 inquiry concluded 5 weeks ago that the guidance was flawed and that sars-cov-2 is airborne.

Even though the Covid inquiry stated Covid was airborne 5 weeks ago and said that the guidance is flawed, there has been nothing from Labour to change the broken guidance. They are too taken up with faffing about over party leadership issues to keep up with Public health.

Just discovered courtesy of the Daily Telegraph marriage announcements page back in January that one of Rupert Lowe's children is marrying ... an immigrant... this summer. Curiously he's keeping very quiet about it.

They spend the majority of their time politically vilifying an entire group of people, but behind closed doors they’re pretending it’s not a big issue. This behaviour in politics needs to, no, has to be stopped because people end up getting hurt for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

🧵 1/ Did you know that £325 billion of dirty money flows through the UK economy each year? That’s tax evasion, money laundering, corruption - whether on the high street, enabled by professional advisers or connected to organised crime gangs.

The real figure for how much dirty money flows through the UK, as Professor Jason Sharman has pointed out, is "squillions". Anyone who tries to be more precise than that is, imo, claiming accurate knowledge of something that no one has accurate knowledge about. bsky.app/profile/phil...
