The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

It is very effective - I like the inclusion of plants too. You are giving me inspiration! A retired Speech Pathologist here also (‘Speech & Language Therapist’ in the UK). 😊

This is beautiful, thank you for posting (from the UK).

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are
🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally
🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face
🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose

📢 I've decided to do regular 2-3 mins video updates of latest authoritarian antics of Trump administration on YouTube & TikTok.

Have been inspired by reading how many people get their news there and how dominated it is by the right.

Try Perplexity. It discusses Trump and signs of frontotemporal dementia.

An excellent, thought-provoking film. Only time we’ve left a cinema and been so deep in discussion about what we’ve just seen that we’ve gone in the wrong direction and missed the car park.

Amidst all the misery, some really great news.

Oh my god lol

This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Put Up Some Fences" - Marsh Family parody of "Walking in Memphis" about Donald Trump UK State Visit

🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK.

Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer.

Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Just to confirm my suspicions that people’s perception of the national position (via social/media) is very different from their local perceptions, these graphs from @moreincommonuk.bsky.social via @samfr.bsky.social’s sane and vital Substack, illustrate the difference

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

Thank you for writing this. Musk’s interference is disgraceful.

So interesting. Thank you.

Thank you so much for raising this. Not a great deal has been said about it so far, but it deserves investigation and action. It was mentioned briefly on the ten o’clock news, carefully avoiding the word ‘incite’. Kate Adie firmly decried it on R4 this morning which was good to hear.

Absolutely. I would like to know his exact definition of ‘free speech’ and how it compares to the legal definition in the UK and in the US.

Some more direct incitement from Musk

This man burned his sheep's clothing a long time ago and is now fully leaning into his right wing white supremacist nationalism

Excuse a rather superficial take - was just a flicker of light relief during this horrible time.

There’s a lovely photo on here of bollards on a pedestrian refuge island which have been daubed with red crosses. Someone has subsequently filled in the white quarters with alternate pink and yellow paint = Battenberg cake. Brilliant!

Perhaps everyone who uses the term ‘free speech’ should be pressed to give a clear definition of what they mean by it. Surely it does NOT mean “You can say anything, to anyone, at any time, in any place - with no consequences to yourself” but some people seem to think it does.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

This is brilliant. Thank you!

This was listed on a local
Facebook group. Don’t know original source. But love the creative transformation of the Red Cross graffitied on bollard into Battenburg cake. 🤣🤣

Pettiest man alive.

Fixed it

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words

The Gathering - Liverpool drama about teenagers and ambitious, toxic parents. Very well acted. An eye-opener for someone who’s not had a 17-year old in the house for a while!

At an event with DeSantis, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said officials will push to end "all vaccine mandates" in law. "Every last one of them is wrong," (Politico)

That’s measles, polio, chicken pox and tetanus…

America’s anti-science anti-intellect shift is going to kill so many people.
