This does not happen in a well-functioning democracy.

This is amazing.

stanley tucci with members of the gold medal winning USA women's hockey team

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

thank you. its a baffling heafuckmess.

after an hour and half on the phone I found out that the call to send out a new card was itself part of the scammer outfit. so bad news, £2050 has been inched. good news is they say it's recoverable. now to sit and tremble and feel terrible and trauma and paranoid and stupid.

Butlerian Jihad on its way lol

they're being really great tbh. my account is locked and new card and details etc set up and sent out. so I've nothing, but family are here. I've kept pip, too, but even tho heart surgery, not been moved to higher grade. fanks.

the bank one is most scary and confusing. its not being helped by my phone being poo. I have a small amount saved (£3k) which is a fortune to me but its protection for if things go pear shaped and without it frankly I'd be in the shit and the thieves have been blocked from taking that.

already today I've had a phone appointment with universal credit. a later from pip. and several calls with my bank over the continued identity theft and bank transfers situation. monster headache and out of it. anxiety levels at... the moon.

Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

I've been really looking fwd to this. I've been screaming for a samurai era AC for years.

Shadows?

I hope the women's team's photos from their party in vegas are monumental.

the woman who was married to Michael Gove. who presumably knows what he tastes like. thinks Polanski is a creep.

She fucking nailed it. 😆

:D

was this on a train? cos trains are a cocktail. buses much less so. or at least, north east ones lol

fuck. spent the afternoon on phone with my bank sorting out identity theft and scamming. recovering over £3400. damnit. so beware any weird - wait, any financial/id messages from me. they're usually weird tbh.

“He acknowledged to the dispatcher that he was planning to get out of his vehicle. The dispatcher interjected.

‘Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,’ the dispatcher said. ‘I don’t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.’”

The met tipped off Mandelson’a lawyers?!?!?!?? Can we just address how totally corrupt this is?

yeah but he could bring a level of incongruence, that lends to the insanity. its up there with my idea that the only person who could play thatcher was Christoper Walken.

YES!! I thought it was some sunshine and having made myself go out on my own to a poetry open mic night I'd been to before. and it was great. (me at the mic)
