Thanks to Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer, this is what a terrorist now looks like in the United Kingdom. 83 year old retired priest Sue Parfitt faces 14 years in jail, for an act of conscience. #saynotoFascism #saynotoLabour #StarmerOut

Welcome to Britain 2025: where a musician's words cause more outrage than the murder and horror in Gaza | Owen Jones The issue of what happened at Glastonbury is obscuring the outrage about real bombs and actual death, and I think that is deliberate, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

You should be in jail for wanting to proscribe Palestinian Action. Genocide is the crime, protest is legitimate. Shame on you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #jailyvettecooper

Which is the crime? Protest against genocide or genocide. Yvette Cooper wants to proscribe Palestine Action. She & Starmer should be in jail for still calling Netanyahu an ally, when there's an arrest warrant out for him from the ICC. officialedballs.bsky.social‬www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...ry

Hey @officialedballs.bsky.social‬ - when did you marry Priti Patel? Protest against genocide isn't terrorism. How about she condemn shooting starving children instead?

Reeves needs to go. Her attacks on the elderly and poor have split the party. Starmer needs to go. His poor judgment and uturns show poor decision making and an inability to read the room. Cosplaying Reform will lose Labour voters to the Greens and LibDems. #starmerout

andyburnham.bsky.social Mayor of Greater Manchester

Starmer needs to go. When he has more support from Kemi Badenoch than his own party, you know he's lost the plot. Labour will hemorrhage support to Greens and LibDems. By becoming Nigel Farage, Starmer has lost his traditional base. Maybe andyburnham.bsky.social for PM?

On the subject of poverty in the area, not too late to join the local discussion on Facebook or to sign that amendment alongside other NE MPs.

Not too late Joe to sign that amendment, or to join the discussion on Hexham Matters on Facebook.

Joe Morris MP (@joemorrismp.bsky.social) Labour MP for the Hexham constituency

joemorrismp.bsky.social voted for winter fuel payment cuts, he isn't one of the 6 NE Labour MPs signing the letter against benefit cuts. Can't be sure if he's enamoured by London city lights on his Β£93,904 salary or, like Starmer, we made the mistake of thinking him Labour. Not to be repeated.

I think a Β£93,904 salary and being in the metropolis is probably too much of a distraction for wor Joe. I see unlike 6 other NE Labour MPs, Joe hasn't signed the letter opposing disability benefit cuts. Don't derail the gravy train? Maybe @laverymp.bsky.social could educate him?

So are you joining your 123 Labour colleagues (hopefully you're already one of them) in not attacking the disabled? Cameron, May, Boris, Truss and Sunak considered me disabled enough to need independent living arrangements. I'm on ketamine 4 times a day for extreme pain. You try working with that.

In fairness, I've just been on an Australian news chat page and they're trash talking it more than we are.

I thought the filming from Fox was dreadful. Don't they have steady cams? The picture was bouncing about more than the troops were marching out of time. Horribly amateur.

It did seem horribly amateur.

Can we call them #wankpanzer instead? I mean if you prefer #swasticar that's fine, but I think the word #wankpanzer is rather appropriate.

Would it be appropriate to rebrand it this?

While he's playing, I see Tesla sales (and their share price) have started to tank. Not this tank. This tank's a Wankpanzer. I wonder how many times that phrase must be said to enter the lexicon?

I've mixed with people from the working class, middle and upper classes and all had men who sexually assaulted women and passed it off as humour. Behaviour like that has nothing to do with class, it's about a lack of it, and power play through insecurity. It's about a lack of respect.

You have two problems. Education and culture. Flag worship and patriotism to a fault. The object becomes the matter of worship, but the ideals behind it have become easily twisted. Your founding fathers are turning in their graves. On a positive note, you came back from McCarthyism and the Clan.

Tonight's subject. I've finished making a new fibre optic brush... tools which will be used include that brush, the Antsonamelon RGB Critter colour changing torch, their DIY adapter, a Magilight, two UV torches on light stands, a fixed RGB panel light... let the light painting begin.

One of the favourite photographs I've taken. I'd waited 2 years for the RGB Critter torch enter production. I'd attached a home made fibre optic brush, and traced the light over a female mannequin head, captured in a long exposure photograph.
