Personally, I think that Trump has already picked more battles (internal and external) than he can chew on.

Letting Musk do as he pleases off any leash also makes this messier.

It may take a little time, but America (and the world, unfortunately) has one hell of a headache incoming.

Are there any published poets here on Bluesky?
My dad wrote a poem in 2005, I'd love to get it published posthumously, but I'm not sure how to go about it.
Any help or advice or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading 😊πŸ₯°

Flooding devastates communities like mineβ€”and the system is failing people.

In the Environmental Audit Committee, I asked how climate change, with its heavier and more frequent storms, is pushing the limits of our country’s flood resilience.

I spoke in the House of Commons about the urgent need for fair, long-term funding for hospices.

Palliative care is vital, but it isn’t fully fundedβ€”it relies on charity. Hospices like St. Michael’s in Hereford do incredible work, and they deserve fair, long-term support.

Thank you , I will.
Yes, I’ve done British Camp lower path since my total knee replacement surgery. It’s a very steep path from the car park but then it levels out. The icy weather has put a stop to it recently.
