Please help! I am struggling to get my head round the rules on posting to the US! Can anyone explain it to me in really simple terms? Been trying to read the Royal Mail guidelines and my brain keeps going round in loops like a Celtic knot!

Brilliant from @bylinetimes.bsky.social but you have to wonder why #BBCNews are not covering this huge public interest story. Why are #SkyNews @itvnews.bsky.social also quiet on it.

Read every bit of this brilliant thread..

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

“When you consider the ecocide alongside the genocide, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians & their homeland”

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot

Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

How can a country get it so wrong. Why are we opting for a strategy of control through fear of each other. Thatcher robbed us of community, now we need that back more than ever!

In other words, 94% of those killed in Gaza since March 25 were civilians - up from 83% in the first 1.5 years of this genocidal war.
Another symptom of stage 2 of the Gaza Genocide under Trump: fewer casualties so far, but targeting almost entirely civilians.

Civilians made up 15 of every 16 people killed by Israel in Gaza since March, data suggests

Report from independent conflict tracker Acled indicates one of the highest civilian death rates since start of war

My placard to #stoprosebank #stopgazagenocide with Aberdeen Climate Action & SPSC!
Overwhelmed by ignorance & hatred shown by far right. Police confiscated a lrg Palestinian flag but do nothing about Nazi saluting fascists. I don’t understand.
We’re in a dark place. Please join peaceful protesting.

Had fun with these today.. anyone who follows me knows how much I love cats, how much I love alliteration & how much I love to inject a bit of humour into my work..
Thoughts please on my political cats & their messages… badges, T-shirts, patches? Hmm..
Thanks for your feedback wonderful people!

Sweary designs.. Would you like me to make some swearing brooches or other products? Would you wear them? What messages would you like to see or should I just start with these? What are you most angry about?

People are angry & want politicians who'll articulate that anger. People also understand politics isn't a zero sum game & want politicians who'll fight for them
