The UK economy is a mess - but those who voted for the Tory's austerity programme in 2010 or 2015, or Brexit in 2016, contributed directly to that mess, so, rather than screaming about Rachel Reeves or Keir Starmer and
@UKLabour they should be hanging their heads in shame.

It's about hope of the (broadly left of centre, yes I know re: Sir Keith!) parties uniting to beat the fascists. If we don't trust each other more, then the divisive nature of EVERYTHING will usher them in as sure as shit

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Wouldn’t it be great if @zackpolanski.bsky.social
could get Keir & JC w/SZ together to unite as anti Facism Coalition party. Divisive politics has changed the landscape for the worse. We are of course stronger together! Failing to do so is happening across the Atlantic in real (bad) time

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

If a woman is flashing this hand signal, she needs help escaping from a domestic violence situation.

Note identifying information about the man and call 911 immediately. Acknowledge her plight verbally or non-verbally if it can be done safely, so she knows help is on the way.

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Performative Nazi grifts again, reading out loud another page from the Trump playbook.

It’s so predictably obvious yet not being called out enough to cut through 😫

Can confirm the letters turned to mush upon the ground would, in fact, re-assemble into the missing spots on the tree. Fantastic (even if they didn't)!
