I was a fool in love.
Twice.
Once in a sour marriage
and once in a miracle
I couldn’t hold.
Two lives,
two abandonments,
and the same man
at the centre of both —
bleeding,
bewildered,
bare.

🚨 Breaking: Lucy Powell is the new Deputy Leader of the Labour Party!

Smart, steady, northern, loyal — and one of the few MPs who actually sounds like real Britain.

Exactly the kind of energy Labour needs to take the next step.

October.

Autumn time.

Grotesque, out of touch with reality and offensive.

How cars can you drive at one time?

A sniper assassinated Charlie Kirk—a fascist.
This is not resistance.
It’s terrorism—and it will only fuel the flames of division.

Stand against fascism.
Stand against political murder.
Both can destroy a nation.

Everyone worries about +3 to +4 °C this century.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 +7 °𝐂 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 22𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲.

That’s not “climate change.”
That’s civilisation collapse.

Fear keeps us silent.
Courage makes us unstoppable.
Change will come.

As you read this, another child dies, is maimed or displaced.

45m children need help (32m in 2020).
Yet #UNICEF just lost ¼ of its funding.

The #G7 buys more weapons, but cuts food for Muhammed & Maria.

Children should be fed, not forsaken.

You escape your homeland after torture & abuse. You endure years anxiety. You travel in cramped lorries 1000’s of miles with little food or water. You know no one. You arrive in a new land with a history of welcoming foreigners. And you face this lot of white numbskulls in Epping…

The 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 isn’t coming.

It’s here, it’s 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, and it’s already killing people.

Every heatwave, every flood, every burned forest is a warning flare.

We either act now—or collapse watching the thermometer rise.

We were on #WaterSt yesterday coming back from the #LFCParade. I have to say I am not surprised at what happened. Saw time & again cars pushing through crowds. Most were LFC supporters but a panicked driver was almost inevitable. Police must close off parade streets.

Everton FC heard that HDS wanted to sponsor their new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock in Liverpool.

They rubbed their hands in glee & signed up thinking it was world famous Hitachi Data Systems.

They discovered… it was Hill Dickinson Solictors.

Two tribes shaping our future:
Fortress Reactionaries–
Deny climate crisis, fear diversity, & cling to a failed past.
EcoSapiens–
Know survival means solidarity.
One tribe fears the world.
The other heals it.
Which one are you?

70% of UK supports Net Zero.
Only 18% oppose it.
But most people don’t realise they’re in the majority—because climate deniers shout louder online.
Comment. Post. Share. Be bold.
Climate action is mainstream.

BREAKING: Rolls-Royce invents a new engine that runs exclusively on cowardice.

After a few emails from the U.S. Department of State and the usual noise from the anti-woke outrage machine, Rolls-Royce has decided to scrap its global #DEI and #LGBTQ+ inclusion programmes.

First Americans knew the value of DEI:
“Over and over I have set forth the qualities that we Wendat believe ought to define humanity - wisdom, reason & equity.”

Mistake to boo Trent yesterday vs Arsenal. He cocked up over Ballon D’Or, talking hands and refusing to go to earn #LFC some cash. BUT, don’t forget 19/20 years of wonderful, dedicated service. #YNWA

Progressive Ideology Will Prevail. Not because it’s fashionable. But because it’s inevitable.
You can’t uninvent compassion.
You can’t unlearn science.
You can’t unsee injustice.
Progress is the arc of the universe — and it’s bending towards us.
