@kacidama.bsky.social Hi Kaci, I was out all day for a hospital appointment. Got held up in the traffic and missed it. Hope to chat tomorrow. Shame about City getting knocked out of the CL, wasn't it? 😆

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Shabana Mahmood went on TV and told everyone, smugly, that she doesn't read her social media. It is part of her job to do so. I won't be reading anymore of her right wing Brexiter crap if she can't be bothered to read the replies. You lost my vote when you accepted Brexit.

Oh diddums. The poor little Johnsons. He’s being vaguely held to account for his grossly negligent time in office. And she doesn’t feel rich. Boo fucking hoo.
Meanwhile, our country would be so much happier today if that family had never had a whiff of power.

Analysis of the language used in Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” shows it was drafted in Russian and translated into English.

Brian Redhead; not John Redwood. I was not fully awake when I posted that!
I used to listen to the Today program every day when John Redwood presented it. I could not stand all the Tory shills on there after he died, shouting at anyone who did not agree with them.

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR.
This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically.
“Either we all have human rights or none of us do.”

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

As Labour proposes limiting the protection of the ECHR, we must remember what it was set up to do; protect us all from abuses of power by our govts.
Be v wary then of anyone calling to do that. You may not be the target now. But why shouldn’t you be next?

Have you watched this Mr Chief Secretary? Perhaps you should and maybe stop using X ?

🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?
Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

I don't know how this Lady Esmerelda can go around dispensing largesse to the poor and then tells us that we have to obey the Bretwalda because it is our duty to do so. Who is she really working for?

Hey @Keir_Starmer - British-made military equipment has been found on Sudan battlefields, used by a genocidal militia. That same militia is committing atrocities in El Fasher right now. Stop selling arms that could kill children! secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...
Tens of thousands of innocent children fearing for their lives!
