If these ICE agents and those who are ordering them had any intelligence at all they would look at the prosecutions Trump is pushing and ask the question. Is the 'I was just following orders' defence likely to work in a couple of years time?

We've been working up this idea for a while and, fingers crossed, we catch the imagination of a few like minded, decent people. @athenakugblenu.bsky.social You could be one of our first Affiliate Friends ;-)

I've not been on here very much recently. It seems the thought of it replacing Twitter ran out of steam and it became a little 'up itself' and lacks any form of edginess Yes we have to control hate speech but we cannot be scared to talk about things in a honest way.

Do you fancy some retro World Cup t-shirt action in support of @trussler.bsky.social then here you go. clubmerchandise.org/pack-of-four...

I will worry for the people of Israel for many years to come. This recent period is a stain on the whole nation that will not easily be removed. Peace in the region and the existence of an unmolested Jewish State are reliant on a all peoples being guaranteed the same rights.

Good morning my fellow space travellers. Here's hoping you go trough the day with a smile on your face and joy in your heart. Have a good one.

Good morning people, Never forget that you are awesome. Have a great day.

Twas as good as it looks.

I think you can tell we're not in a Premier Inn

Good morning my fellow space travellers. As Carl Sagan once said, 'we are all made of star stuff' so go be that star. Have a great day folks.

The far right started getting angrier when people from around the world stopped anglicising their names to 'fit in' So, for example, my Jewish friends whose family name went from Belowski to boring old Bell are now using Belowski again.

Does anyone fancy a Steve Pemberton/Reece Shearsmith t-shirt in support of @trusselluk.bsky.social They are priced at £20 inc UK delivery with all profits going to @trusselluk.bsky.social You can choose any colour or size of t-shirt.

Great to see Teesside Live picking up the story I broke over a week ago! Lots more detail on this for paid subs in Sunday's edition of The Teesside Lead.

Good morning folks, If you are struggling to maintain equilibrium and find that facing the world is just too hard then please reach out and talk to someone about it. Talking really does help. @samaritans.bsky.social are there 24/7/365

Morning folks, Here's hoping your day is full of fun and positivity

I hope you all have that Friday feeling. Have a great day folks

It's always best served cold.

It's always dodgy over on Houchen Hill

The move to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote is clearly the right thing to do. It will hopefully mean that the Labour Government will aloo more radical solutions to the tax system that lean away from pensioners and their stored wealth to more distributive policies.

Today share a new one of my autistic son, Ryan's pieces of art. This time it's of the wonderful @adampearson.bsky.social If you are neurodivergent and want to showcase your work we can do that for you, free of any charge, over at www.clubmerchandise.org and we would love to have you join us.

Wow. Just wow. Trump seems insistent on making it virtually impossible to resist the conclusion that he’s shitting large orange bricks about what’s in the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My son, Ryan is a self-taught artist who uses his Mac and Photoshop to create works of digital art. He is part of a hopefully growing number of neurodivergent artists we host for free over at www.clubmerchadnise.org Here is a piece he did of Muhammad Ali

This morning I enjoyed watching a mum feeding her daughter.

If you were one of the passengers on the victoria line just now who intervened to stop a man hassling me thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please get in touch with my office if you are prepared to be a witness as maybe the police might listen to you about him now!

Have a pop over to www.clubmerchandise.org We are rebuilding the shop and all designs and all the words you see are created by people with autism and other neurodivergent differences. We also give ALL profits away to good causes. I am giving over the running to talented young adults with autism

Isn't Charlie a tax exile?

If you fancy one of these then drop me a line. £20 inc' UK delivery

A new place name to add to my favourites. Thornton-Le-Beans It goes alongside Skutterskelfe and Fryup for places that make me smile.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Over at www.clubmerchandise.org I've given away products worth three times the value of the sales made in the last 2 weeks. I think I'm doing this capitalism thing wrong ;-)

He had the privilege and means to live to a ripe old age. Unlike many during Thatcher's government when their livelihoods were taken from them. Thatcher's simp.

Good morning you wonderful people May I entreat you to do something nice today for someone you feel may need a boost? The big news is that YOU will also feel better for doing the nice thing. It's nice to be nice Have a great day

I think Starmer is better suited to running the office for parliamentary standards than the country He appears to be a decent, honourable man who means it when he talks about serving the public but he's no politician and seems to be holed below the water line

Good morning folks, I hope you have a great day and spread joy as part of that. #Laters

A levy on social media companies should happen. £1 per registered user per year. Ring fenced funding for CAHMS

A quick reminder that via my little not for profit web shop @clubmerchandise.bsky.social I support many different charities and good causes but none means more to me than the support for those with #MND and their families clubmerchandise.org/mnd-associat... #FCKMND

Good morning you wonderful people. I think you're absolutely brilliant and the world is a better place with you in it Have a great day.

Good people don't vote for bad people

BREAKING - I understand a large number of MPs - potentially 80+ and including select committee chair are signing a reasoned amendment to the welfare bill which declines to give it a second reading

For those who don't know I run a small online shop that gives all it's profits away to good causes. Today I thought I would give you the link to the products we sell (and some we give away ) to support #MNDQueens, #MNDWarriors and those who say #FCKMND clubmerchandise.org/mnd-associat...

As the world heats up, physically and politically, you will know people who are struggling with their mental health and anxiety levels that are through the roof. Please take a little time to reach out and chat to them. You will make a real difference if you do.

You never know what struggles another person is navigating through. Your default position should be kindness. We all get it wrong sometimes so empathy is key. Have a great day folks.

Good morning fellow space travellers You are a unique, never to be repeated collection of atoms Enjoy your journey through space time baby

Good morning you wonderful people. Today is going to be a good one. I feel it in my bones.

Good morning folks Hopefully we all have a great day today.

Good morning folks, Here's wishing you a fantastic day.

Good morning folks, I hope you have a great day.

Good morning folks, Here's hoping your day is full of joy and positivity. If you are struggling then it is a great idea to talk about things, with friends, family or indeed professionals like @samaritans.bsky.social You are loved, you are wanted.
