Herefordshire tonight is being like in Apocolypse Now - so many huge military helicopters flying over I’m thinking of playing a bit of Wagner 😬

Man dies from rabies after being bitten by bat A man who contracted rabies after being bitten by a bat has died, a hospital spokesman said last night. It was the first case in Britain for 100 years.

Yes, must admit I found it pretty horrifying that doctors here weren't aware of the symptoms of rabies (apart from the psychiatrist, it seems). Last case of rabies here from bats was 2002, which seems a long time ago but isn't really in the scheme of things www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/nov/...

Sick of Trump, fearful of the consequences of the Iran/Israel/USA conflict?

What you need is a #timelinecleanse.

May I offer you a chicken riding a Shetland pony?

Family of Barnsley rabies victim say death was Yvonne Ford's daughter tells an inquest they do not want another family to endure the same loss.

Rabies is - thankfully - a totally unfamiliar disease to UK-trained doctors…. The reporting of this unfortunate lady’s inquest is fascinating and tragic at the same time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The EU executive said it will defend the EU’s trade interests as US President Donald Trump threatens to cut off trade relations with Spain after it refused to let the US use its military bases for strikes on Iran. #EuropeNews

Given Trump has clearly demonstrated he thinks it is perfectly reasonable to kill or kidnap leaders of whatever countries he fancies, he surely cannot possibly expect not to become someone else’s target?

UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an immediate cessation of hostilities following the strikes on Iran, saying the alternative would be a wider conflict that would destabilize the region

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK.

The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party.

This is great news!!!!

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.

🎯🎯

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Dear Humans,

Stop blaming me for all your bullshit. I don’t even exist. Grow up.

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump.
One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president. #cdnpoli

This seems ungood. #fascism

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.
