OK - I give in... where did you put the speedlight?

Ultra-processed food is global health threat, experts warn It is increasing our risk of a range of chronic diseases, including obesity and depression, a major review says.

Supermarket bread is classified as ultra processed. Wow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No it wouldn't, they'd still worship the wooden puppet. Well, that's what they're already doing :-D

He's just a puppet. If he died, they'd replace him with a literal wooden puppet and the GOP crew wouldn't either notice or care.

'I don't know who he is', says Trump after pardoning crypto tycoon The president pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the co-founder of the world's largest crypto exchange, in October.

Well, we didn't really need any more proof that Trump is just an ego driven front man signing whatever is put in front of him... but here you go... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A Twitter conversation where Manchester Feminists say, "The left purports to have a material analysis of society, and needs to have a material analysis of sex too. A new left wind party should recognise this reality..." and Adnan Hussain MP responds, "I agree, women's rights and safe spaces should not be encroached upon. Safe third spaces should be an alternative option."

I wrote a letter with concerns such as that of Adnan Hussain, pictured. In it, he supports segregation. As there seem to be no straight answers, it is very much a question that should be brought up at conference, because there are legitimate questions that need to be answered.

That has changed with the new party. A number of people in the top of the new party are gender critical and segregationist and I for one, need confirmation on what the new party stands for on this front.

I'm afraid I'm unfollowing. I'm not against you having fun, etc. and we all need down time, but I'm still waiting for an answer to the trans issue and all I'm getting is silence. The greens will probably get my vote.

Gotta love the utter mess that is social media.

I made a block list! Interesting. The list is private, so I can't see whose ranks I have joined :-) and even more interestingly, the people who are subscribed to the list don't seem to be too divergent from my own views so, they're not obvious enemies. I'll be smiling about this all day!

Agreed, and there is another aspect to this. Perhaps if he behaved like other MP's and stopped doing things that drew derision from Starmer et al, then maybe there'd be nothing for him to get pilloried for! ... but I do admit, there is a point to be made for looking at the shuffle system.

Farage appears in Commons gallery as ‘mere spectator’ at PMQs The Reform UK leader complained he had ‘no right of reply’ at Prime Minister’s Questions.

Errrr... what? He was mocked in 2024 for a rare appearance at PMQ's because he was in the US so much. Shouted down the same year for repeating a conspiracy theory in the Commons, and now this. I mean... I don't know what to think of the bloke.

Greens policies hold grave dangers and must be taken seriously.

Another day. Another clutching of pearls hit piece.

Aid groups scolded for fundraising on AI 'poverty porn' : Researchers accuse tech firms of profiting from exploitative AI imagery

That charities are reported to be using AI to generate images of suffering, specifically designed to make people donate money... that's a new low. That ethically and morally bankrupt in my book. www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/a...

It was originally written year ago, and it just grew with recent events. Once this year is done, a lot of the stuff at the top will be condensed as stuff will then be history.

I honestly can't understand why people are watching Strictly any more. I thought it did its run some time ago. Having said that, the rest of the offerings on TV really are horrendous these days.

I've updated my "The Truth About Trans" post to incorporate more information I've seen and been given. This is my view, of course, and I will continue to update it as events happen, as October and November will likely see some pivotal points in what's happening. msknight.com/loas/?p=1551

Nigel Farage Teams Up With Extreme Anti-Abortion Group and Calls for Debate on Restricting Abortion Rights in UK The Reform Leader is joining forces with a US-based Christian legal group, which campaigns for abortion to be outlawed around the world

Farage is linked to Alliance Defending Freedom - in case you're wondering what the matter is with that, they campaign to outlaw abortion... and Farage is bringing that argument to the UK, so if you value abortion rights, you probably don't want to be voting for Reform bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

I believed this was the case. Along with some, like the Lemkin Institute specifically calling for it - www.lemkininstitute.com/_files/ugd/c...

Probably because they're due for GANHRI review in a few weeks and risk losing the A status?

I'm still waiting for word on the trans issue that I wrote to you about some weeks ago. Even a democracy requires a leader and where are you leading your party on the subject. That is what I want to hear.

Spud Shack Ba-hay-bey.

Did they keep good on their threat to require passports with matching sex verification to keep trans members out?

Unfortunately, Your Party didn't get off to the best of starts on that angle. Let's hope for a more shenanigan free future.

None taken. I'm more interested in Mr Corbyn's position on trans segregation given the considerable paperwork and evidence I sent a few weeks ago, especially given Mr Adnan Hussain's recent statements. Labour are lost, but that doesn't mean Your Party can avoid having to proving itself. I'm watching

There isn't one. The misinformation channels are owned by American companies and any attempt he makes to bring them to heal results in more tariff sanctions. The Met Chief said policing social media shouldn't be a police thing either. His hands are tied.

They'll spin it somehow, they always do. Mind you, that's where some of the entertainment lies. (figuratively and literally)

The picture depicts His Majesty King Charles, at the banquet table alongside Donald Trump. While King Charles is dressed as according to his position, Trump is looking like a child, wearing a napkin, to which are pinned a few fake medals, wearing a cardboard Burger King crown and stuffing chips into his mouth with his left hand, while his right hand is holding a red can similar in design and graphics to Coca-Cola, resting it on a plate of chips. The red stains on the table cloth giving the overall impression of him being a big child.
