And it’s not just Farage. It was Johnson too. That’s the bit they’re missing. Same donations. Same pattern. 4/

I save biros that have run out of ink and use them to make a note of all the unwritten rules.

As seen in Oxford! 🤣

It's all kicking off in Canterbury.

BBC Question Time now doing exact same with AI they did with Farage? This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice. Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And a Tory MP

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Special interview with W.B. Yeats via automatic writing channelled through spirit guides.

In every academic book there is a secret second book hiding in the footnotes. Sometimes it is the first draft that had migrated there to escape the revisions. Sometimes it is the author's tortured secret rebuttal of their own claims, and sometimes it is the incipient form of the their next book.

One of many prescient cartoons by New Dealer WW2 vet Bill Mauldin…who also foresaw Nixonites destroying rule of law and Russia extorting Europe with gas and oil

When you distil the Blair thing it is pretty dystopian. 1. AI or bust. 2. Reorient everything around AI - go MAGA not EU. 3. Restructure Government around it. 4. Accept no regulatory limits to this. 5. Become a mini US. Enter the EU and turn it that way too. institute.global/insights/pol...

Russia tried to shoot down a stork with an FPV drone. The stork dodged it. Ukraine's national symbol of peace is apparently also better at evasive maneuvers than the Russian army. Support link is in our Bio.

The NHS spent £241M outsourcing scans to private firms due to severe understaffing. Worse, 90% of radiology heads worry about quality, meaning NHS doctors are double-checking the work anyway. An unsustainable drain on funds & a failure to retain staff. Read: www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Russia destroyed the newly opened National Chornobyl Museum in Ukraine

Cackling at the bus stop reading this in Trump's inflection

Greetings from Kyiv. Let’s cross the Dnipro River together. I’m on my way to pay my respects to the Chornobyl Museum, which was heavily damaged during the latest attack.

Patients deserve dignity, and NHS staff deserve a system that works. Your voices are being heard. After EveryDoctor coordinated 20,000+ letters demanding an end to "corridor care," MP Karin Smyth has officially responded to us with the government’s current plan. Read the full letter: link in bio.

Kyiv. Near Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). A bookstore. I am here, filming how russians destroy our culture.

National Art Museum in Kyiv after the attack. Closed for an uncertain period. According to photos published by the Ministry of Culture, there is much more damage inside. My heart is bleeding.

It’s been obvious since 2020 that ex Moscow lawyer Robert Jenrick is on the dodgy side. That was when, as housing secretary, he unlawfully fast-tracked planning consent for Richard Desmond's £1 billion housing project on the Isle of Dogs, saving the porn baron’s firm an estimated £45 million.

No truer words were ever spoken...

£19.5m - overseas donations to Reform UK £8.5m - overseas donations to Labour Why are those based overseas or off-shore buying our democracy? And if you're upset at the former you should be equally upset at the latter

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Russian plumbs new depths by hitting a funeral procession in Sumy region. One man died, another 12 have been injured, of whom two are described as serious. Police will only say the incident happened on the outskirts of Sumy city, and so far these are the only pics from the scene.

After EveryDoctor sent over 20,000 letters to ministers demanding an end to NHS “corridor care,” there's been some progress. Corridor care data will soon be published, and Karin Smyth MP has sent a response outlining government plans. Full letter: everydoctor.org.uk/wp-content/u...

It’s easy to forget about the NHS when things are going well. But in life's most vulnerable moments, an ambulance arriving gives us hope. The NHS belongs to all of us. Our charter outlines a clear vision to protect public healthcare. Protect it. Sign here: link in bio.

🚨 Stop NHS Corridor Care! 🚨 The government is making some progress, but there is still so much more to do. Join SOS NHS for a free online event next Wednesday (7-8 PM) to discuss the causes and impacts of corridor care, and the solutions needed to end it . Link in our bio to register!

Local trust executives are facing massive financial squeeze, leading to service cuts and reduced staffing levels. All while nurses warn that existing shortages are already putting patients at risk. Can a system already understaffed survive more cuts?
