I got it for free because I called up the council and was all sweet and lovely

The Labour Government wanted to gift Donald Trump a replica red dispatch box as a gift? God what quisling desperate shite from our government. How pathetic.

"you will never regret appointing me to the ambassador" loooool Fucking helll

YouGov is asking whether giving kids money is a good reward for getting good grades, and seemingly lots of people support it. I'm actually baffled. You're supposed to encourage intrinsic motivation and academic interest in your kids, not bribe them. It's also frankly just unfair to poorer kids.

I really really do want tip toe to be good and meet this moment but i just can’t trust or expect it will when the guy that we need to Meet The Moment, Russel T Davies, proudly says he has transphobic friends

Thirdly: Britain's continued descent into authoritarianism. New Labour and the Tories already imposed 'anti-terror' and anti-protest laws which stifled our basic democratic rights. Starmer proscribed Palestine Action, arresting thousands for holding placards.

Second: the obvious double standard. An Israeli politician who oversaw genocide? Here's a red carpet! And you can say anything, however murderous, about Palestinians and freely enter. If you say: "I'm glad Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth!", in you come!

We've just completely capitulated to Israel and it is extremely embarrassing. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

The UK ban on Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur is deeply disturbing for many reasons. One: another assault on free speech, and specifically pro-Palestinian speech. The assault on pro-Palestinian speech is the biggest assault on free speech in the West since McCarthyism 7 decades ago.

Good morning it is the first day of pride month and Justin Webb is talking about trans people on the Today Programme

Just spent a couple of hours playing Sims 2 on PS2 and honestly what a game, and what a console. It still works after 20 years. Nothing still works after 20 years anymore. We really had it so good.

This sort of campaigning should be illegal. Nazi level misinformation and racism on display.

What the actual fuck is going on at Debenhams?

Someone has either stolen my blue bin or it has fallen into the back of the lorry. Either way, I'm not happy to pay £25 for the replacement. I might honestly nick someone else's and pass the cycle on.

I need to go to the energy ombudsman because of EDFs fuckery and their website doesn't work. Does anything about privatised energy actually work? We're all being mugged.

Post a photo from 2019 Dangerously tempted to go blond again ngl

Like we didn’t already know they're a bunch of angry violent hate-filled white men.

I can't believe this is real. It is genocidal. www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/

I can't believe gentrification has killed White Hotel. Manchester really will develop unique neighbourhoods organically only to close the things that made them cool to gentrify the area.

Vampire wakes up after a hundred years of sleep and finds his castle has been donated to the National Trust

Honestly my graduate job hunt after the pandemic was absolutely awful and it took me 4 years to get to the point I should have been at after graduation, and I was one of the lucky ones because I actually got that. It is ridiculous.

I'm hiring a very large van to move Tom into my place today, which is very exciting and fun, but also very stressful. I can't believe that man has convinced me to drive into city centre in a van and move furniture on a 25°c day. Lunacy.

this website is not beating the allegations

Listening to Blair on Radio 4 and it is absolutely transparent that he is a capitalist ghoul who has bought solidly into the hype about AI and has absolutely drank the koolaid. Blair is openly saying he wants to asset strip the British public sector in order to hand our money and data over AI firms

This war criminal needs to just fuck off. We get it. You're a right wing ghoul. Tony Blair is just so wildly out of touch and yet we've allowed his centrist empty delusions to dictate politics for 30 years at a cost to everyone. He hasn't got a clue. He never has.

Rowling, Forstater, Davies and your ilk; take a fucking bow you absolute dangers metro.co.uk/2023/05/25/i...

The ghost of Tony Blair continues to haunt Labour. Coming up for 20 years since he left Downing Street he has been tainted not just by his illegal wars but his lucrative work for despots. Imagine if Clement Attlee who left office in 1951 had continued to offer unsolicited advice into the 70s.

You’re delirious from heat. You haven’t had a break from it in days. You haven’t slept. You can’t remember how much water you’ve drunk. Your clothes cling to your skin in a sweaty melange. You don’t know what is real and what is delusion. Tony Blair drops a long read.

The Met Office 2050 hypothetical is looking less like a hypothetical now isn't it. I remember the reaction when this was made. Just 6 years later, we've had 35°c two days in a row in May.

"protect women" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

America will have given the Green Light on this. I have no doubt. The entire Trump presidency has been in service of Russia and Trump's own personal wealth. Check what odds markets and stock options he and his accomplices bet on before this announcement.

Lavrov urged Marco Rubio to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.

"When you can buy your way out of any mistake, when you can fire anyone who disagrees with you, when your social circle consists entirely of people who need something from you, the basic mechanism by which humans learn that other people are real goes dark." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I swear to god. Nobody outside of ethnonationalist American and Israeli politics wants this war. Why the hell are we putting up with it.

How is it still 25°c outside at 22:30pm. I need to be able to vent the house. It won't get below 17°c outside tonight. I guess I'll just die.

Something is very obviously very wrong.

If you're concerned about British heat and climate change don't worry, apparently the AMOC has passed the tipping point. Our climate will possibly be more like Iceland in 20 years time.

I have leftover marmitako for tea and honestly Basque food is perfect for a hot British day. The basque country is basically a hotter Britain anyway. It's Atlantic humidity with more wine and sun. If climate change turns Manchester into Bilbao I support it.

Straight garden Vs gay garden I guess

Raye like:

I wish the lakes near my house were public swimming lakes but they're fishing lakes instead, and have algae suppressant in them. I would love nothing more than to jump into fresh water for a refreshing swim before drying off in the sun. But nah. Some lad wants to take carp pics for tinder.

I'm so glad to have a garden I can bask in like a lizard. I might just call in sick tomorrow and spend all day here.

It's 22°c inside my house rn and that feels cold. Jesus. This was not a day to lug big suitcases across the city via hot trains.

"people on antidepressants should stay out of the sun to avoid overheating" But I'm pure of heart and the sun brings me joy. I'm sure that doesn't apply to me.

she flopped but tasted better than both 💕

"When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on." ~ George Orwell

I'm hungover, it's warm, I've got family coming over, I need to clean the house. I might just go and hide in the basement.

Abolish the Monarchy.

I need the universities, debating societies, lobbying groups, media companies etc to understand that no level of diversity matters if there isn't also class diversity. You can represent as many ethnically diverse and LGBTQ folk as you want. If they went to private school it doesn't fucking count.
