Eos Counsell

On the one hand, daftness. On the other, another poll which underlines how Reform voters are outliers - and current Tory VIs are at least as close and sometimes closer to LD/Lab/Green VIs

@mrjamesob.bsky.social does being shat on by a kestrel count? #smittenbyakestrel

It’s obviously pissing in the wind to point it out, but I’m not sure how this gets fixed unless people stop using TikTok, which is the same as saying there’s no way of fixing it.

The minute we gave up control of who we see on our feeds to big, amoral companies, this was inevitable.

He’s getting so much air time. Had to turn off.

as for wages, we see reasonably rapid wage growth among recent arrivals (as migrants progress, and low-earning students return home).

Nothing here at all to back up Farage's claims

Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

They have 4 MPs. We are four years away from a GE. Yet our broadcast media is talking like they’re a government in waiting? This over platforming must end and end now! We have other parties and they must be heard. Sign here now. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Huge props to whoever was in charge of risk assessment for that valley in Switzerland, Blatten. Thousands of lives saved from evacuating them a couple of weeks ago.

*especially not esp silly

@mrjamesob.bsky.social 2/2 lots of other examples re canine v human behaviour but if the love incorporates full understanding (as love should) of the other species then all is good, surely.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re dogs- I see no problem with people loving their dogs as much as children esp silly if ‘childfree’. SO LONG AS they love them as dogs- we are primates. Dogs aren’t. Primates like to hug and carry young. Dogs don’t. Know dog body language and what they need as dogs not humans

UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid – Israel-Gaza war live UN’s humanitarian chief says aid lorries, which contain baby food and nutrition, are technically in Gaza but have not reached civilians

Happy release day! We’ve always loved this beautiful piece, and the images and emotions it conjures. #FIRL #Debussy

One of the things that enrages me about Labour’s approach is the reality that immigration hysteria is *entirely manufactured*

Farage has used it to flog every con and it’s been in the tabloids, daily, for ten years. To the point that now even some Labour voters defend it.

It’s fucking MADE UP.
