Let joy be unconfined. Our 'neutral' State Broadcaster will today give us Kuenssberg (whose production team has dishonestly refused to withdraw her falsehoods about For Women Scotland) interviewing Hilary Cass (who was appointed because she was Gender Critical but we must all pretend is not).

Sad to wonder whether, if Ursula K Le Guin were alive today she'd be unpublished and, being merely a woman, reduced to commenting below the line on George Monbiot's columns.

After decades of being devalued and defunded by central government, councils should be looking forward to the potential benefits of devolution. Instead they are mired in a time-consuming reorganisation that will shift power even further away from local communities. Ministers should rethink.

Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients." The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment! www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/1592555...

Mandatory ID cards. Scrapping jury trials. Calling genocide protesters “terrorists." There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton. It's Greens Vs Reform. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

“Made in Europe”: Business leaders call for securing value chains. More than a thousand executives are calling for a European preference to be established in aid and public procurement to secure production and employment on the continent. www.latribune.fr/article/entr...

This is one of the ugliest tricks ever. Promoting insane technology by leveraging on disability. It goes beyond ableism.

If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’. Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.

Well of course they are. Current capitalism seems centred on exploitation and pandering to the rich

Reform keeps on hitting new lows leftfootforward.org/2026/02/5-re...

European countries make lots of weapons. But they still rely on the the U.S. for intelligence, logistics, communications and command-and-control. Detaching from that reliance will be time-consuming and expensive. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/euro...

In Northern Ireland, where the Equality Act does not apply, the DUP Education Minister has unilaterally banned trans kids in schoools and the UUP Health Minister has unilaterally stopped participation in the puberty blocker trials, both citing legal cases they can't be arsed waiting on.

seen this @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @darrenpjones.bsky.social @lucympowell.bsky.social ? @primeministeruk.bsky.social ? you just SOLD #UK #NHS #personal-data to a military, spying possbile #crook

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Saw a report that OpenAi plans to make any endeavor where their stuff is used for development to now be partly proprietarily owned by OpenAi. Let this be their doom. Let this finally be the reason that people ditch that shit.

hey @lucympowell.bsky.social, the cass review has been discredited internationally on multiple occasions why is the government using it to form policy that will harm children, up to and including their deaths? i won't vote for a party that abuses kids. ig im jus being an 'extremist lefty'.

jus thinking about how in 10-20 years ppl like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and @lucympowell.bsky.social are going to have sit through hearing after hearing after hearing answering questions as to how and why the labour party widely implemented the cass review even after it had been fully discredited.

In 2005 Rod Liddle was arrested and accepted a caution for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. He continues to have a career in journalism because the British press is fine with violent misogynists.

A reminder that if you live in England or Wales & were born between 1970-1990 – or even before 1970 – you can help protect your community by getting the MMR vaccine free from your NHS GP now. I did last year. www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

Farage is lying again.

Founders and owners of GB News Legatum have links to Putin - they are a big part of why Brexit happened and was so harmful to UK and the rest of Europe

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

On this day in 1931, #Dracula the motion picture was released - setting its star Béla Lugosi on a collision course with a weird subculture many decades later!

Examined one by one, Israel’s current policies reveal a power imbalance so extreme that it can no longer be obscured by diplomatic language, especially in the wake of Gaza’s catastrophic devastation.

Hard not to conclude that the polling company is making up the numbers and should be ignored henceforth.

So good

@jakubkrupa.bsky.social does it again.

Are we ready??? Senate and Congress seem to be losing…..

This is a painting of a long-tailed tit, arguably the cutest bird we have in the UK. They’re very small, fluffy with long tails, and fly around in little flocks. They’re a regular in my garden and always make me smile 😊 #watercolours #birdart 🪶

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Seriously props to the congressionals who are going over the Epstein files. That’s tough stuff. I’m a therapist because I have a strong stomach in the way that surgeons do when they’re slicing through arteries. They probably didn’t sign up for it but I’m glad they’re willing.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The High Court decided services may lawfully allow trans women to use women’s facilities – but the fight for trans rights continues. https://goodlaw.social/8rft

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs. Peter Thiel.

They did the meme

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19:

It wouldn’t be a trip to Maui without spotting my favorite invasive species, the gold dust day gecko. It posed for this picture, then tried to sell us insurance.

One does not need to live in Ramallah or anywhere else in the West Bank to see what is coming. Israeli forces already besiege most of the Palestinian territory, negotiated under the infamous Oslo Accords, as they besiege city after city across the West Bank.

There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations. The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

It probably seemed like a good idea at the time, sending Prince William to Saudi Arabia while Epstein pressure mounts on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. But did it help to be spending time with another man named multiple times in the Epstein Files? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...
