Just one day left to pre-order the Kindle version of my new book, 'Practical Coaching With Appreciative Inquiry', at a (slightly) reduced price: amzn.to/3XruNJ2

Stand aside wars, genocide, the unravelling of US democracy, climate crisis, child poverty, stagnating economy, homelessness, or foreign interference in our politics - there is only one bit of news. Everyone is having a meltdown about a couple of petty criminals who had a day out by mistake.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

With Elon Musk’s new $1 trillion contract, he could make $11.4 MILLION per HOUR for the next 10 years. He’s not creating his profits, working people are! The “Four Comma Club” shouldn’t exist. A union contract is how we start to level the playing field. https://wapo.st/47O88M4

X is designed to radicalise people. The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain. Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

He broke the economy. Now he wants to run it. Nope.

👏👏👏

Good grief

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇 1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK 2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves 3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

The whiter the area the more likely it is to have a Reform problem. Immigration isn’t the problem, otherwise you’d get Reform in more diverse areas - it’s fear of change among older people.

Is saying that the Jews run the world antisemitic or just vigilant? Tune in for next week's episode of "is it racist to be racist"

Been back to my childhood village in Essex for a funeral. High Street is littered with tatty flags attached to every lamp post and telegraph pole, and by God, it looks awful. Everyone I spoke to hates them. So intimidating. Apparently- "Epping Forest council is scared of offending the nasties."

If Pochin doesn't lose the whip - and she should - then Farage's party will be happy to have a racist on its benches. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The easy way to deal with this is to simply make it voluntary for work. A genuinely voluntary card would be perfectly justifiable. But of course they won't do that because it neutralises their anti-immigrant bullshit.

The two main parties got a total of 13% in Caerphilly yesterday The first-past-the-post system no longer reflects how people vote We urgently need PR or democracy loses all credibility

Absolute fucking madness

he posted an AI video of himself flying a King Trump plane and dumping shit on the protests that’s the bare bones factual description of what happened, no editorializing involved publishing that is the absolute bare minimum if you want to call yourself the news

In 2010, an interviewer told Neil Kinnock that the Labour Party "never used to understand aspiration". Kinnock gave an absolutely brilliant answer that should be learned by heart by every Labour MP. (0.42 to 1.22) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGhP...

the excuses here are pathetic & unconvincing: we're supposed to believe (1) an intruder came into the office & put the swastika on a bulletin board; (2) no one in the office noticed; (3) during a Zoom call, a staffer stood in front of the swastika by accident www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Same day. Same plenary session. Same visit to Gill’s office. Same Farage, Same Gill, same wife of sanctioned pro Russian agent. Six days after the first bribery charge

Some day there'll be a movie made about these heroic amphibians, maybe even a franchise - 'The Chronicles of Ribbit'

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Has anyone managed to find *any book whatsoever* on the Anthropic Works List Lookup? Even 'Andrea Bartz' turns up nothing 🤔https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it. So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

Labour has a chance now to turn a corner and win support from people who want it to succeed. Or it can continue with this type of vicious populist filth and alienate everyone. It's your call guys. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It’s increasingly clear that convicted Russian influencer Nathan Gill was a senior member of Farage’s entourage. (Banks and Wigmore were also in and out of the Russian embassy sharing FBI files, RT talking points, and discussing gold and diamond privatisation deals)

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again. 
No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve. You made your choice clear: 
Europe. Democracy. Freedom. Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.
 The future is yours.

we should take away all their money so they can’t do this

Do it!

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

“We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less.”

As an ethnic minority woman I am really concerned about the ‘legitimate concerns’ argument justifying racism. Is my concern ‘legitimate’?

"You’ll notice that these quotes come from the Prime Minister’s official spokesperson. That’s because the actual Prime Minister is still missing, presumed shit."

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

"Night of the Assisted Living Dead" is very fine work 😄👏👏👏

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

Yes, definitely D

If you work with teams and small groups, and you want to add Appreciative Inquiry to your toolkit, this is the book for you! Here's the link to buy it - it *should* go to the Amazon store you normally use amzn.to/3Vd3Jwi

To @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app : this vile story by the New York Post is actively attempting to incite mass violence against a vulnerable minority. The New York Post must not be permitted to remain on this service.

This must be a watershed moment. The government's continued use of X is no longer simply negligent. It is an act of conscious assistance to violent extremism.
