Cretin takes one day to undertake a "thorough, detailed and complete review" of a SCOTUS decision that was months in the making... 🤦‍♂️

Glad to see M&S remains in the BCC - their chickens really do taste noticeably better.

Lovely plate - do you know where from please?

Thank you Louise; needed this. x

Today was not a good day. Mum (who has Alzheimer's and dementia) had a stroke and will we think, pass in the next few hours...

And this wee boy had to cross the rainbow bridge this afternoon. Sweet dreams Ackroyd - love you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Petition: Require all think tanks to disclose their donors, funding, and media spending Research bodies and representation of specialist interests is important when making policy. However, think tanks go beyond merely brainstorming ideas and presenting data and arguments. They can push s...

Gonna post it again...

Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs.

They work for us. Allegedly.

Not sure if I had a measles vaccination (or measles itself, and my 90 year old mum won't remember given she has Alzheimers). And prettty certain the records won't go back far enough at my GP surgery. I know I had mumps and chicken pox. What advice in this circumstance please?

It's his MO...

The sheer arrogance of this man. You only get to have a 'shadow cabinet' if you're the official opposition; other parties (such as those with 8 MPs) get spokespersons. #FFS

the loss of the World Service would be a tragedy and huge lost of soft power for Britain

I’m in the UK and listen regularly to the World Service - IMHO it’s the one bit of specialist BBC news/current affairs that still preserves its impartiality (and where Reform UK gets little/no coverage or platforming).

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

The irony being that Farage - who clearly appears to be a Russian asset - says he’s clueless on digital…

Exactly! His claim would require him to (a) have done the hard work of the necessary research and reading; and (b) understand legal arguments with neither the qualifications nor the intellect to do so. I call BS.

UK Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful, in humiliating blow for ministers Thousands arrested for supporting group since proscription are now in legal limbo as Mahmood says she will appeal

It's depressing that ministers ever thought this was proportionate, and disgusting that they haven't immediately accepted the judgement.

I expected such levels of knee-jerk stupidity from Braverman. But we voted Labour because we wanted better.

Be better.

You missed an 'Impossible' option - that would be the case for me with a Reform UK supporter - it wouldn't just be 'Very/fairly difficult'.

Thankfully I'm married to someone who finds Farage and co as repugnant as I do.

And this is the something new I’ve learned today!! 🤭

It’s not your language that offends. It’s your racism.

Yup. We won't buy Israeli products either.

You know the people of Dubai are wise & learned.
Take for example this female Dubai citizen.
She intelligently argues that all billionaires should be allowed to be ignorant, racist & fascist.
Why?
Because they er…
Um….
Erm…

Have lots of money.
That’s it
Have lots of money.

It's almost like being fabulously rich doesn't make you happy or well adjusted. It's almost like it makes you sad and lonely. And leaves you forever casting about for scapegoats to offset your deep self-loathing. Thank you Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk for these important life lessons.

Agreed. I was part of a group who met him when he was Employment Relations Minister, to share my research expertise on a topic. That the topic was even discussed made it clear the Liberals softened the worst excesses of the Tory majority in that coalition...

As a Liverpool fan I hate Man U, but total respect to you for this comment!!

As if I needed another reason to hate Man U...

Thx, and I added:

Overall these proposals are disgusting and completely antithetical to British values of tolerance, kindness and decency. They pander to the worst instincts; policy shouldn't be driven by the racist agenda of Reform UK.

My responses:

This is not what a humane and compassionate government would do.
