It’s hard to give credit to an organisation your administration eradicates from it’s narrative of any conflict it’s been involved in

What an absolute cockwomble. Government by social media.

The USA is now a terrorist state and a banana republic. Take your pick. A terrifying distortion of what was meant to be the beacon of democracy for the world. It’s sad and shameful.

Your leader is a disgrace to the office he holds. An idiot and a malignant narcissist that doesn’t understand anything about anything. A stain on the presidents legacy for all time. Those the voted for him or didn’t vote all should hang their heads in shame.

Weekends should be 3 days. One for doing nothing, one for doing fun things, and one for errands. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

🚨UK will leave the ECHR if Tories win next election Kemi Badenoch has announced
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic 🚨UK will leave the ECHR if Tories win next election Kemi Badenoch has announced

Let’s not forget when the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - the UK was on course to make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights

We need to protect the ECHR, not leave it

The press/media in the UK has become a cesspit of bullying and hypocrisy that punches down and has convinced way too many people to turn on their own. Meanwhile the puppet masters laugh at the havoc they have created and make money off our misery and inability to see through them.

If there's one thing you watch today, make it this

Bob Geldof criticises Israel for what they're doing in Gaza

Then criticises Trevor Philips for making excuses for what Israel is doing in Gaza

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social have to wake up to wins Reform are having across social media.

Been looking at how Farage and his team use socials for almost a decade. They're bossing almost every age category and platform.

Under 16 game and tiktok now resonating with teenage boys particularly.

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake.

GΓΆkotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong.

For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Ed Balls, "We do 2% of our trade with India, we do less than 20% with the US, we do 50% of our trade with the European Union"

Learning from an awe-inspiring immense ecosystem that has returned to life Rewilding ecologist and author Eoghan Daltun visited Costa Rica to see first-hand how the country has managed over the last 30 years to reverse one of the worst deforestation rates in all Latin Americ...

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing?

Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.
