Screen shot of a typo in a post reading: Patient has an insulin pimp.
Some has shared this, saying: Pretty sure that's the opposite of a sugar daddy.
I have no idea who came up with this, but how could you not share.

You get out of this mess by taking on Reform. Someone just needs to tell Morgan McSweeny. Or fire him.

Everyone is furious that Labour are pandering to the far right and their treatment of trans people is shameful. But we are not yet at state sanctioned vigilantism.

Jon Dear @accordingtojond.bsky.social · 10h

You won’t find many on the left that are happy with the current Labour government. But “at their best” they have done good things particularly in the area on employment rights. That’s why your comment caused anger.

Jon Dear @accordingtojond.bsky.social · 12h

Hi. I’m just off out but I appreciate your good faith engagement. I’ll read and respond later.

Jon Dear @accordingtojond.bsky.social · 17h

Thanks Darren.

How did you like Jason Donovan’s dad?

Jon Dear @accordingtojond.bsky.social · 18h

Tbh they pretty much do do this but regardless, that’s awful regarding bikes.

Jon Dear @accordingtojond.bsky.social · 18h

Excellent!

Oooh ta. Seen the others but wasn’t sure about All You Need is Death. I’ll take your recommendation.

Completely agree but PA’s banning is indeed a worrying development from a supposed left of centre government. But to suggest that, because of that, Labour is worse than Trump…I can’t let that go.

The thing you’re trying to say is, frankly, idiotic, ignorant and offensive.

Jon Dear @accordingtojond.bsky.social · 22h

Thanks, I’ve noticed that.

It’s not as bad as the USA.
