I was very lucky to be there that day. Saw them going across the Queensferry Crossing, zoomed over to Denny to watch them on the hill to Carron Valley, before the protest stopped the race. Then onto Kelvindale, then Kelvingrove big screens. Was rooting for Pogi, but MvDP really deserved that win.

Prison bosses make room for possible influx before planned protests across England Exclusive: Possible arrests at protests against Palestine Action ban and asylum hotels likely to stretch prisons

Let's empty the jails so we can fill them with octogenarians who care about genocide.
Because that's the real threat to society.

Great to hear Highway by St. Panther getting a play by @laurenlaverne.bsky.social on @bbcradio6musicbot.bsky.social .

If you haven't heard it before, give it a listen.

If the popularity of public ownership
was translated into votes
Your Party & Greens
would sweep the board

and it's our job
to show voters
that the dire state of UK
monopoly and public services
because of privatising greed
is far more detrimental to their lives
than any number of migrants

I saw Primoz last Sunday, gave home a big shout on the road up to Monmatre. He looked happy at the bus afterwards.

Less than 230,000 people signed up to Farageโ€™s party Reform UK - media wonโ€™t shut the fuck up about it.

Over 600,000 people signed up to Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultanaโ€™s new party - absolute crickets from the media.

You will never convince me the media isnโ€™t complicit in the rise of the far right

Lots will be said about the Doctors, Nurses and likely many other upcoming strikes.

But I will make it really simple, after 14 years of pay freezes and pay cuts, they are not going to go back to pay freezes/cuts.

And they shouldn't.

The middle class workforce are in for some real pain globally! AI can't replace a plasterer or plumber, but it can generate text and images. The small group of "Elites" will benefit. Everyone else will just get poorer.

A Warning from 1994 of a Two-Tiered Society | Robert Reich
In 1994, I took a lot of heat for this speech warning that the American middle class was in danger. That was 29 years ag A Warning from 1994 of a Two-Tiered Society | Robert Reich

over 30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

Dear Labour - there is not enough red meat you can throw a Reform voter to get them to vote for you. Stop bloody trying as you arenโ€™t getting them on side but are losing everyone else! How the hell can we all see this but not you!?

It appears that some people are there just to get their face on TV. People should think carefully before they wreck someone's, race, season or career.

His performance has been unreal. He should be extremely proud of what he has achieved. Saltires will be waving in Paris on Sunday.

Bravo for this statement. Too many riders are pushed or are pushing beyond physical limits. I hope he recovers well and comes back at 100% next year. He's clearly not the only one. Half of the peleton look burnt out, they need a proper holiday. That said, I'll be shouting on the Champs on Sunday!

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It definitely felt like Russia's divide and conquer Europe system, thankfully no one else has followed suit yet. It was the Konzervativs who steam rolled it in, no surprise there. It's not over yet unfortunately.

Consequences are of no - well - consequence to Nigel Farage.
His wealth insulates him from them, so as long as he can continue to spout his rabble rousing xenophobic rubbish to his simple minded followers, he's as happy as a pig in shite... ๐Ÿคฎ

When they speak to him every day, it is obvious that he has totally emptied the tank. He has given 100% every stage. Amazing he is in the Top 5 after 2 of the most insane weeks of racing I have ever seen. Hope he makes it to Paris, a massive achievement in itself.
