I am massively, MASSIVELY grateful to @ldlapinski.bsky.social for making the trip to #Orkney this week to work with four schools across three days, as well as finding time to visit our local bookshop in #Kirkwall and sign their copies too! Such an amazing opportunity for our pupils! #WorldBookDay 🙌🏻📚

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

@neillcameron.bsky.social shared with the pride and permission of a child in my class. They drew this t-shirt to be Timmy from Donut Squad for #WorldBookDay today! 🤩🙌🏻🍩 #ReadingForPleasure

It's SO good! Also, I got to spend part of my day with LD 🤩 for WBD, not that I'm smug or anything 😆

It was brilliant 🤩

I am Frodo Baggins for the 3rd year in a row. I love books and reading, I'm not great at dressing up 😄

Yup! 😞

Sometimes walking away is the only reasonable response!!

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

BREAKING — The UK is joining in with the US/Israeli/French campaign against independent UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese.

In response to a question from arch Israel lobbyist Luke Akehurst, it says it wants her comments on Israel to be “urgently investigated”.

I don't think there's much usable brain left for realisation unfortunately

Oh so glad you're addressing this! Half wrote 3 responses with posts around Churchill/ Starmer because of the Felons remarks but was too annoyed to get the tone right.

Evil personified 🤬

Politics of semantics 😏

Mass funeral for 165 children murdered in girls school in Iran.

Netanyahu...."Israel protects civilians":

20,000 children murdered in Gaza

Starts an illegal war with Iran.

Netanyahu..."You see the difference. The tyrants of Tehran target civilians, we target the tyrants of Iran to save children"

I just can't 🤬🤯 anymore

I'm not getting the vibe here that he's doing this to liberate women in Iran. bsky.app/profile/atru...

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

“Any military members seeking to take advantage of their subordinates by advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this latest non-Congressionally sanctioned attack against Iran, should be swiftly, aggressively and visibly prosecuted.” Mikey Weinstein, MRFF

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

While I suspect there may be an element of a post by-election bump here, it should be a warning sign for Labour that their hostile policies towards asylum seekers, migrants in general, trans and non-binary individuals, disabled people etc aren't winning them any votes.

As someone who was also reading Private Eye fairly early, we need more of us who were precocious little shits who have grown up to not take any bullshit from the world!
