The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Craig Bennett, CEO of the Wildlife Trusts: “It is... shocking to hear the chancellor boast allowing people with privileged access to try & circumvent some of the processes that have been put in place by parliament, & to hear how she just dismisses ecological science as if it somehow doesn’t matter.”

Nice one!

A wonderful actress and a damned fine singer. The passing of a true legend.

This was my local cinema when I was an undergraduate aeons ago. Glad to see it's still thriving!

Never forget.

'Build, baby, build' brays Housing Secretary Steve Reed, looking like a low rent Trump in his red baseball cap, signing and handing out more of the same to any idiot who wants one. Which arsehead came up with that genius idea?

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting

Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

If it's female I'd like to put in a bid for Feral Beryl, please!

News headline from the Mirror reads “UK experts slam paracetamol ‘fearmongering’ from Donald Trump officials,”

First Trump slashed funding for vaccines research now he's peddling dangerous nonsense about paracetamol.

The UK should take on Trump’s anti-science agenda and open our doors to US researchers.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Woke to Trump’s brainless rant about vaccines and autism, wrote a comment which Instagram deemed “hurtful” - you be the judge

Surely that's his agenda, crash the country. Destroy the NHS and sell it to big pharma. He's poison. #BrexitBrokeBritain and Farage engineered Brexit.

It’s terrible, yet believable, considering this country is made up of some of the dumbest people alive, who are led by one of the dumbest people alive. How did this clown get one, much less TWO terms?

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t... Homeland Security chief accepted bribes from undercover cops and it’s just another day in the Trump kleptocracy. How can we do business with such a crooked country?

Schrijver gaat een oude pick-up ombouwen tot banned bookstore. In Alabama, dus dat wordt spannend.

The 17th-century woman who wrote about surviving domestic abuse In the 17th century, Anne Wentworth spoke out against her abusive husband and the religious institution that protected him.

"Women have been describing their experiences of male abuse for centuries – we just haven’t always been ready to listen to them."
@drnaomibaker.bsky.social reminds us that if you think domestic and family violence is a new thing, you're not paying attention.

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in.

Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

I would like to remind everyone that the #Nazi order to euthanize those with mental health issues (and other #disabilities ♿️) was called Aktion T4. This involuntary euthanasia killed 300K people by conservative estimate. Kilmeade is promoting Nazi killing protocol. Literally, he is saying we should.
