Stop UK Involvement in Iran War Take action: hands off Iran

The US is using UK military bases in its illegal attack on Iran.

The UK government must end its involvement now – or risk once again breaking international law.

Take action with @waronwant.bsky.social ⬇️ #HandsOffIran

From Streets to Safety International Cat Day Reflection
YouTube video by Dog Desk Animal Action From Streets to Safety International Cat Day Reflection

Not every cat is born into a home.
Some are born into survival until someone chooses to stop 🐾

Rescue is safety.
Neutering prevents suffering.
Adoption changes the direction of a life

On International Cat Day, I’m thinking about the ones nobody went looking for 🐈

Refugee status becomes temporary in asylum shake-up Adults and accompanied children claiming asylum will only receive refugee status for 30 months under the changes.

Why is this fascism presented so passively? Labour has decided to strip refugees of their status: THEY don't become 'temporary', Labour has decided that their human rights are temporary, FFS!

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom.

In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

I had a Brain Operation and was in Hospital, for 6 months. If I was in America, I'd have had to declare Bankruptcy. Thankfully, I live in Scotland, which is a World Leader in the area and it was part of my National Insurance.

Healthy 'Brits' who admire Nigel Farage are nuts.
