Me too. Stability in a period of utter turmoil across the World, is what's needed. I want to feel safe and supported

If people want a Parliamentary debate about Gaza, then they need to start one. This was a debate about Russian interference

Sent complaint to NHS England re the illegal use of their logo by Reform UK in their Gorton & Denton by-election material!

Just got a reply.

Quite pleased.

Happy #Lawyercat Anniversary for all who celebrate! It's been four years since the kitten appeared in my Zoom courtroom, and I released the 48 second video that made the whole world laugh. Here is the full video showing the big reveal at the end (in two parts because Blue sky). Enjoy!

Ben Goldsborough MP speaking in a debate on Russian influence on UK politics:

“It seems Reform politicians are comfortable doing the Kremlin’s dirty work for them, regardless of whether they get paid for the privilege or not.”

It's one of my favourite things about Bluesky

The Big Ugly Law created a massive health care crisis in this country.

On top of that, Republicans just let the ACA tax credits expire.

Affordable health care is NOT a Republican priority.

We haven't seen the Norwegian PM resign, have we?

We need to stop expecting innocent people to resign, because they didn't know what Epstein was up to in relation to their Ambassadors

Despite his friendship with Epstein being public knowledge, three months before his appointment as ambassador, 3334 Oxford dons and graduates voted for Mandelson in his failed bid to be Chancellor of Oxford University. Should they all resign? No? I don’t think so either - neither should Starmer

Well said 👏🏻

And yet (as usual), this was never mentioned at the time. What an amazing human being

The Prime Minister has my full support.
Bar 1945, this is the most difficult inheritance a Labour government has ever faced.
The worst thing we can do is turn inward and away from the country.

We need to unite, talk about the big issues and focus on serving the people who elected us.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

AND . . they're also behind us leaving the EU. The Govt wants to destroy the EU, and the UK was the start . . . 😕

Because Farage is Trump/ & Bannons representative in the UK. He's been tasked with implementing Project 2029 (same as Project 2025 in the US). @bylinetimes.bsky.social and @thenerve.news have been investigating this for YEARS

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

While Darren Jones outlines announces changing Government will make to appointment processes, Tories continue to heckle.

They had 14 years to change these rules, but didn't.

Labour announce additional steps to hold people in public life to account:

+ legislation to remove peerages from disgraced peers

+ new process for directly appointed advisors and ambassadors

+ review if more measures for financial reporting are needed

+ review transparency around lobbying

"Nigel Farage originally was supportive of cutting the two-child benefit cap, but seems to have changed his mind since the Conservative Party takeover of his party" 😅

This is superb. And, apart from the power of @williamcb.bsky.social’s substantive argument, a great example of the modern use of classical sociology!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Labour launch National Cancer Plan This week, Labour launched their National Cancer Plan

It's big and will revolutionise cancer care and cancer research.

Nationalising water has been investigated. Unfortunately it is far too expensive (£100bn, plus needing to cover the £104bn investment expected over the next few years). However, the Water (Special Measures) Act brings in strict new rules for water companies who fail to meet requirements...

Good news re COVID 🥳

You can oppose war and still accept deterrence.
You can want peace and still understand why NATO exists.
UK Green politics often skips that reality.
Security isn’t optional.
Pretending otherwise just hands risk to someone else.

So Reform simultaneously want women to have more children but won't support them financially to do so? What a bunch of a*seholes
