Now 90% #Bloomscrolling . I grow plants indoors and out and take pics of them wherever I find them, always my own pic, usually but not always my own garden.

Socialist. Skint. North West England.

Of course another consequence of removing juries from all but the most serious crimes is that those pesky juries won’t be able to find annoying protestors not guilty.

Not sure which amaryllis this is, definitely know it's been neglected and the weeds around it are still waiting for attention.
I stopped on my way out to work a few days ago and took this photo ❤️

The rich own them!
The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.

Today, the government admitted it had been keeping thousands of children in poverty for no reason whatsoever.

Next, tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off!

It’s a raindrop but it also contains a blue sky and it is also the last picture I take of this kind without the aid of my new macro lens after Soph @soph0517.bsky.social
shamed me into forking out for one out of my meagre pension. Am I blue? No.

Methods of distraction include wigging out over the hidden details of nature. Proven effective time and again!

Unrelated pro tip: There's only one way to host Thanksgiving, and that is to do as much as possible in advance.

I didn’t expect these flowers to lift up and open some more since I posted a pic several days ago.

Sensible Centrists were huge supporters of Starmer, told us he was going to do wonderous things as a human rights lawyer and insisted his competence would fix everything.

There's simply no reason to listen to them about anything ever again.
Bit of a test case here for “is liberalism still a real thing, or is it just a political version of a collection of Labubus that you show off to your friends” IMO.
