I have a microscopic patch of this planet. It’s enough. Binned off the other place. So far this looks better. The natural world rules. Don’t argue with it.

Labour said they’d do it. They’re doing it. We don’t need more populist crap in this country. We need people quietly getting on with the job. Which they are.

Train services operated by Greater Anglia will be brought into public ownership this weekend,

marking the half-way point in the nationalisation of the nation’s rail network.

Labour 👍

As it should. Why did anyone think the Nobel Peace Prize committee would bend the knee to Trump. Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado. May she remain safe.

Just a couple of populists honing their populist skills. It’s just bloody noise. Neither of them would last five minutes if they became the government. Stop the Boats/Tax the Rich equates to the same message. Clueless.

We none of us know who we’re actually engaging with. But the minute I smell a rat it’s a block.

Better than being an entitled little prick I guess.

Nicky @haystackgirl.bsky.social · 23h

I just hate it when I follow someone, like their posts, think they’re intelligent and good at their jobs just to find out they hold me in complete contempt. That I’m just a bag of old bones whose had it easy my whole life. Then you find out he’s just a bitter, whining little arsehole. Oh well.

Have you been hacked by a bitter, entitled little prick who takes 25% and calls it the norm? Or is it just true colours shining through?

Come back to us when you’ve got to live on £894 pounds a month.

Why are you doing this? Lumping every single person born after the war into one convenient bag to kick. You have just plummeted in my esteem. What a childish, mindless post.

One on the left definitely has pictures of JRM on his bedroom walls.

Stuff’s happening. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not.

Kevin O’Connell @hibou2.bsky.social · 1d

Labour has such a good record in office.

Time to tell that story , drop the narrative of the haters.

You probably won’t know this because our media doesn’t want you to know.

LaindonFeminist: 10 Year Keir @viviane49.bsky.social · 1d

Amazing what a decent government with decent Ministers can do.

Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social · 1d

County Lines

Since Labour came to power and invested in the County Lines Programme, record outcomes have been reported:

1,120 senior gang members charged

Over 2300 'deal lines' closed down

stabbings down 20% in county line areas

More of this please!

I love that you love the small details 👍

40% will be social housing in the new towns. But hey. There’s no pleasing some people. You wallow in your misery while others work to fix the problem. It seems to be one of your few talents.

Nicky @haystackgirl.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve voted for Bridget Phillipson.

Nicky @haystackgirl.bsky.social · 1d

I know. Maybe people should just live in tents and shit in a ditch.

Nicky @haystackgirl.bsky.social · 1d

We have on demand buses now which are great.

Labour won the election. You think they’re far right. Buffoon.
