Watching Pluribus on Apple TV. It's bloody brilliant. I do wonder if Hellstroms Hive was the inspiration, if so, it's a masterful reimagining! #appletv #pluribus #plur1bus

Zohran smiling on the street

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!

His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Only 29 asylum appeals have been made to the ECHR in the last 45 years you dimwit. For that non-existent benefit you would sacrifice the right to life, liberty, fair trial, freedom of expression, thought, religion, protection from torture, slavery, etc.
Fucking idiot.

Ok bus folks, why does the top deck of the bus not have windscreen wipers for the benefit of passengers? Is it just a mundane cost reason? #bus #onabus #glasgow

Coming home on the bus today, the sun shone on the Italianate angel (on the Italian centre) and the spire of the Hutcheson's hospital. What's the history #Glasgow? #onabus

On a side-quest this morning, snatching glimpses of the less familiar. This is one of #glasgow *other* Cathedrals - the spire of St Mary's Episcopal, burnished blonde like gold in the low sunlight.
