Some important context from @pippacrerar.bsky.social

Marching against genocide is a hate march. Marching to "stop Islam", kick out Muslims and prepare for civil war isn't a hate march. The world has been turned on its head.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

This you @martyreid.bsky.social ?

A deeply concerning analysis by @richardjmurphy.bsky.social I'm not qualified to assess its merits, but it sounds as if we should at least be highly alert to the possibilities he raises. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/05...

We’ve been doggedly reporting on Palantir’s contracts with UK state…& this latest one with Met police is both creepy & opaque. Met has used Palantir to spy on its own officers. If it can do this to its own employees…what about the rest of us? By @mc00.bsky.social & @luciaoc.bsky.social

“Crucifixion?” “Yes” “Good. Out of the door. Line on the left. One cross each”

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Journalists! 18 June is the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. You’re welcome.

“Wow. … That’s ironic. I think something bit me.”

Decent bike ride...

Look at this beautiful horse.

I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

I'm sorry, but I cannot accept the idea of having somebody called Wes as Prime Minister. Wes is not the name of a Prime Minister. Wes is the name of an estate agent who uses ChatGPT to write the best man's speech for his oldest friend's wedding.

You have to give it up for David Nobbs. This exchange between Reggie Perrin and Jimmy might be the most-relevant two minutes of television you could see in 2026 and it's nearly 50 years old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ-9...

Objectively hilarious

They seem determined to come up with as many reasons as possible for the World Cup to *never* be played in America... "Half time show" ffs www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Watching Charlie deliver a speech wearing a silly crown and gown - could he look any more resentfully uncomfortable...?

My phone just reminded me of this screengrab from 9 years ago, how timely

Somehow, this is funnier than when Grandpa Simpson did it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Happy Wes... Sad Streeting 😂

"Give me the bad news first..."

We've finally won the war against woke

I found it too confusing and went to bed half way through.

“One more thing, young man. You get my daughter home before sunrise—I don’t want you coming back here with a pile of dried bones!”

Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.

What he said #succinct

Surely they've suffered enough?

Looks like the garden needs cutting back... ...nah, CBA... 😏

Just back from ride. Almost didn't notice my neighbour...

Amazing. So for eight months somebody counted how often each political party was mentioned across all UK broadcast media. Lib Dems are near the bottom of the table with a mere 645 mentions per MP. Top of the table with (wait for it) 70,732 mentions per MP? You'll never guess ...

Bloody hell.

Have to admit, that is *really* funny... 😂

Relatable...

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

Rising Sun...

Why does it look like Rachel Reeves is officiating a wedding between Keir Starmer and Gordon Brown

“Sure, I’m a creature—and I can accept that … but lately it seems I’ve been turning into a miserable creature.”

If we imagine no worse of them than they of themselves, they may pass for excellent men.

Current current mood...

It really is much worse than you think The 💩 is almost at the fan bylinetimes.com/2026/05/08/r...

Keir’s in his room crying and won’t come out for dinner. Hope you’re happy with yourselves.

Symptomatic of the core problem in UK politics & government - the lack of long-term planning. Although I'm sure all those fine new upstanding Reform councils will have it sorted by Christmas...

“Look! Look, gentlemen! Purple mountains! Spacious skies! Fruited plains! … Is someone writing this down?”

YES YOU DO, YOU DO ACTUALLY DO THAT, ESPECIALLY ON LONG FLIGHTS. CHANGING PILOTS DURING A FLIGHT IS A THING THAT REGULARLY HAPPENS, DAVID
