A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

In the meantime hate filled violent demonstrations outside hotels go unfettered

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for cover...

This petition needs to get to 10k by mid September. We can do it alongside pressure on MPs, OfCom, DCMS, all the broadcasters - but we need your help to get there. Please sign if not already & pass on. Democracy is at stake. MPs & peers are starting to raise it petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll finds YouGov survey suggests majority support idea of Britain returning to bloc – but not on same terms it once enjoyed

There’s no barrier to going back into the team…

…just our own vision and wherewithal.

Post-assembly announcement by Alf:

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

So frustrating - I gave up when it was obvious they had no intention of rejoining the Customs Union or Single Market, and Starmer was in Israel's pocket.

Love Barnsley and love this woman - more people like this and fewer racists please.

For any Americans reading this - Barnsley is a town in northern England surrounded by (ex)coal mining villages. Margaret Thatcher tried to destroy it, Reform target it - and this woman saves it!

As I keep saying, we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet, we need to do it with urgency & we need to send Elon Musk packing

The number of BlueSky users tonight stands at 29,477,992.

WE CAN DO THIS!

The guy who uncovered these and realised what they were deserves a medal

I've had enough of Musk - getting away from Twitter today

There's a fair bit, and I'm no scientist, but Gribbin writes so well even I think I can grab a faint understanding! I'd thoroughly recommend this book for a general introduction to Science.

Best guide to science I've read - and Gribbin is a fine writer

Predictable, I know, but it deserves its place

Read this after recommendation from a friend - quite unsettling really...

I've recently re-read that!

2001 still the best SF film ever imo. The Selfish Gene answered many questions I'd had for ages and destroyed any faith I had left in religion. Many people have found it quite traumatising!

We studied it at school - one of the first books to captivate me.
