So, just to be clear, the person initiating negotiations over the Ukraine and Gaza ceasefires is the same man who couldn't sort out the payoff for a porn star?

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong, and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

If Trump takes over Canada the first thing he can do is come and collect all their fucking geese from every lake, park and pond in Britain. Given the quantity of poo they produce they’re definitely full of shit, and they’re pretty good at goose-stepping, both of which should appeal to him.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

Now I'm on Bluesky I've dealt with my X dependency. I'm also putting together a list of alternatives to #Facebook and #Google and any other #Manbaby suckups- any suggestions?

What is it with the Tories? The leader of the opposition goes on #BBC television to say she's disappointed that every statement she makes is met with a challenge for her to present evidence. Isn't that the basis for decisions? Sheesh!
