This morning's 11-12 slot broke me. Those mothers worrying about their children. I'm white and concerned about my child growing up in such a toxic world so can't imagine their pain. Shame on racists.

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government.

Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums.

So Baroness Mone didn’t just connect PPE Medpro to the government’s VIP lane. She took an active role lobbying for the company:

Not defending him but wondering if it was said in a cockney eastenders style. Slightly changes the context.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Hey Bluesky! I’m here.

Yes, I’m still a bit stunned by my prescient tweet (below) 14hrs before the tragic DC crash, after which many of you encouraged me to finally gravitate to here.

Happy to belatedly join the community. Tom

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump has begun his cruel mass deportations, and many good people are endangered and frightened.

Know your rights and protect your community. This is an urgent moral call to action.

So sneaky. Suddenly cats are getting skinnier!

Yep noticed this too. My cats are used to a certain amount each day and they sneak this 15% reduction in. Raging! #purina #felix
#shrinkeconomy strikes again. Felix catfood pouches have been reduced from 100g to 85g for the same price!
No wonder my cat isn't satisfied with his pouch any more. Conned!

We should stop calling billionaires, billionaires and call them Robber Barons like they did during the 19th century.

It was more accurate.

I feel it is more classist.

I really disliked him to begin with but warmed when he admitted getting Tyler wrong. Love some humility.

America is to blame for this. Cant believe all of them are getting it wrong. Ed Gamble was saying it right thankfully.

Yes.. "they've been after me from the beginning". My daughter even asked me if she was new.

I thought they said that in the 1st episode too but they did reveal what they were. Confusing!
