Happy 10 years of Brexit 💃💃💃

Red heat warning: Remarked to OH “I wouldn’t like to be on the tube today” who said “if you’re on the tube, you got the wrong train” (I’m off to #BGCS2026 In Bristol later today) 🤦🏻‍♀️ don’t laugh it will only encourage him

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Night night sweet dreamies Sometimes after you tried your best & you’ve gone above and beyond & others don’t seem to appreciate this, please don’t be disheartened, but be proud that you did it for you not for them, because you are a good person

Brexit: “Their promises of more jobs, more trade, more power for Britain have proved a con. Never have so few done so much damage to so many with so little ability to execute what they lied about. Their scandalously false prospectus has turned to dust. Naturally, they blame everyone but themselves”

The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

#Bluesky hivemind. I have a Samsung smart tv and want to delete the Samsung tv channel and GBeebies as they appear at the front of the queue and have no interest in either (one activity offends by its presence alone). Any idea as not obvious going through the settings

Marina Hyde on the excrescence that is Nigel Farage. No further comment needed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As hammered home by the comment by Emily Maitlis on her time on Newsnight

#RCPLondon Bluesky hive mind - my friend submitted all of her information for CESR pathway about 6 months ago and contacted recently to find out no one has even looked at it. Whom can I contact to raise concerns about process on her behalf?

Dear @pennyend.bsky.social My research fellow is getting married next Saturday (6th June) and getting a bit frantic about checking and re-checking the forecasts. Can I put a request in for a nice day near Bristol? 😊 Failing that a medium term forecast?

We had 14 years of Tory government and 5 changes of PM ,wish had known that you could just demand an election .

Nigel Farage says of the NHS, “I do not want it funded through general taxation. It doesn’t work”. It does work. And it’s cheap. The “funding model” isn’t the problem. Using the NHS as a political football, and stripping it for parts to enrich cronies, is.

*Protect Our Women* from *fighting age men* with primitive misogynistic views who *don't share our values*

Anyway here's an idea for @ledbydonkeys.org The queues at Dover are massive. Maybe put a poster of a smiling Nigel Farage looking down on it all for the rest of the summer.

Loving @helenpilcher.bsky.social’s article in @theguardian.com today but can’t find a link to share. Glad I’m not the only one incensed about centrifuge loading 🤣

Broadcasters too reliant on vox pop interviews and failing to challenge politicians, says study

i enjoyed reading this

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Nicked it off someone on here - although I added an extra vowel…

It is astonishing* that Angela Rayner's tax affairs - in which the Standards Commissioner found her to have acted "in good faith", in an attempt to protect her disabled son - is STILL a bigger story than Farage trousering £5 million in secret or Tice's taxes. *It's not astonishing, but should be.

Lady in pink top, "In the last ten years we've had all these Prime Ministers" "The elephant in the room is surely Brexit 10 years ago" "And we're still living through the change in political allegiances that Brexit brought about" "And also the damage it has done to the growth prospects of the UK"

Saw this on LI. Pretty accurate! #academia

#PatriotsPayTaxes rather than give massive bungs to corrupt politicians, Nick Robinson and @bbctech.bsky.social, also why is Jenrick allowed to get away with blaming the last Conservative government when many of the leaders of that government are now in Reform 🤬

Remind me how the first past the post system defends against extremist parties gaining seats

@lucypgeridoc.bsky.social I’m reflecting on my question last night at your excellent audience with session for Dying Matters week with the fabulous Laura James and the Somerset EOL education team.

His closest aide sentenced to 10.5 years for spying for the Russians. Failing to disclose £5m donation and how he bought a house in Clacton. A decade of school antisemitism and racism. Cavorting with Neo Nazis and planning mass deportations. What is the media love about Farage?

igcs.org/board-of-dir... Thank you to those who encouraged me to stand for the position as European Rep on the IGCS board. Given I did even stand for something that required voting at school, this is terrifying, but if you are part of #IGCS #BGCS and in Europe, please consider voting for me.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Zelensky: Met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. We in Ukraine appreciate all the steps taken by the United Kingdom to support our people and weaken the aggressor, in particular in the fight against the Russian shadow fleet.

Brexit Racism Russian bribes Christofascist Trump links Clacton house purchase Multiple jobs Tice’s tax The Epstein files The ruinous policies The inept councils The wild corruption… For love of god. When will Farage be held to account? Once he’s been red-carpeted into No.10 and it’s far too late?

it’s worth reading every word of this brilliant, excoriating column by Fraser Nelson

Sunday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

Just overheard a very worried old lady in the bakers asking if anyone had reported losing the £5 she found on the street yesterday. She'd been in all the local shops and had had no success. - "It might be their last one" What NE England lacks in wealth it makes up for in decency.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but.. www.ft.com/content/3c05...

Ffs another breathless article in the Guardian about Burnham on manoeuvres to find a parliamentary seat apparently even deciding who'll replace him as Mayor. Meanwhile this is what Starmer has been doing in the 21 months since becoming PM, working not plotting.

What an impressive list of achievements in his first 2 years as PM. I’m so proud I voted for Labour. I am seeing the change I voted for. Prioritised to help the poorest first. It’s a brilliant achievement. Thank you Keir Starmer. #VoteLabour

Early bird registration deadline for #BGCS2026 in Bristol is *tonight* @thercog.bsky.social

It’s ridiculous to refer me to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner for this. It simply means that instead of £19m I’ve had at least £24m from a crypto billionaire, which is neither here nor there in terms of the extent to which I am completely bought and paid for.

EXCL: Nigel Farage was given an undisclosed £5m by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in general election @annaisaac.bsky.social reveals www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:

Today one of us evicted a mouse nest (plus 2 mice) from the garage. This might* not be the individual pictured, although moral support was provided and performance commented upon (loudly). The unwelcome tenants will no doubt be back. *it wasn’t

We already knew Richard Tice aggressively avoided tax. Now we’re told his company just plain failed to pay tax that was legally due. For someone supposedly in public service he goes to extreme lengths to avoid paying his fair share towards public services www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
