No Kings protest - San Francisco

This is real grassroots stuff. Americans kicked out one king, now it’s time to kick out this bullying parvenu and his coterie of thugs.

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Devastating cuts for some of most vulnerable children in England is not what I expect from Labour

THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England

Handsome big tortoiseshell cat

Things aren't going well, so meet this handsome chonk, rather partial to catnip.

omg York is leaderless, reckon the Lancastrians are gonna try something

I love the “no thought given to the consequences “ line. I’m sure thought was given, Will, it just didn’t prioritise your puny needs over the safety of others.

Polling on 18-25 year old voting intentions. Greens well ahead and Reform are last.

I don’t want to say the words ‘I told you so’ re when the papers were insisting young ppl were flocking to Reform and I, who work with young ppl, said that didn’t seem correct to me, so I’m just going to leave this here…

The Most Efficient Traveler Isn’t a Bird or a Fish—It’s You on a Bike A famous graphic, now updated, compares locomotion in the animal kingdom

Remember this one? “Humans aren’t very efficient movers—until you put us on a bicycle, when we become some of the most energy-efficient land travelers in the animal kingdom.” Via Scientific American @sciam.bsky.social #CityMakingMath

Hai ragionissimo, che bravo che sei! Veramente un grande, guarda, ti ammiro tantissimo!!!

Feeling a little bit sick. This is wrong on so many fronts.

You're hearing it more and more.

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.

Visibly enthusiastic, incredibly articulate and with a winning smile that never left his face, Zack seemed entirely at home

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

The HoC library is terrible at forgetting to send round-robin emails 😁

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.
