15 years after first seeing the show on the West End- I finally get the chance to go to the cinema and watch Wicked!! I've been waiting so long for this and cannot wait any longer..... and I don't have too!

Great to see a voice standing up for Thanet in the commons!

It feels really weird being a leftist watching this assisted dying debate and agree with Richard Tice more than Jeremy Corbyn 😳

I agree with you with a lot Jeremy but I cannot agree with you on this- there are secure safeguards in this bill and people should be allowed the choice to end their suffering if they are terminal

This is impossible- no rational brain would ever be able to find a link between Tony Blair and Alastair Cambell- they have absolutely no connection at all!! /s

Yesterday- I got the spark I needed to sort my shit out, because in a depressive spiral I had let a lot of things slack and go to the wayside

I'm making it public so that other people can hold me accountable and help me on my journey to be my best self again

Twitter is dead. Long live Blue Sky. The exodus is real.

Welcome- may the conversation be more civil and less vitriolic over here

I would agree with Voter ID if everyone was distributed a free government issued ID, otherwise as you said, it's a solution looking for a problem. And considering how low the turnout in May was it was probably more that 16000- it's voter suppression and should be reversed

I'm amazed a restraining order hasn't been issued yet..... or maybe it has and that's why she does it in the newspapers

If I don't count the bots on there- I've doubled my follower count....... now double 3 is only 6 but that's still double!!

Because if there's one thing that's allowed in an Orwellian Dystopia, it's criticising the governing party πŸ™„

You cannot reason someone out of a position they emotionally got into

As someone who saw a lot of friends fall down the alt-right pipeline, mocking and satire is an important tool to get them out

It also misses that for most of us this is a hobby, and Twitter stopped being fun. I don't have some kind of moral obligation to broaden the debate/ communicate for my team/ whatever. It's my phone, it's my time, and they're my thumbs, if I prefer Bluesky its no-ones business but mine.

Great to see @joepowell.bsky.social raise the importance of the Serious Fraud Office continuing to prioritise foreign #bribery cases – and even better to see Solicitor General Sarah Sackman confirming that the SFO is working β€œincredibly hard in this area”.

UK here- finally gave up on clinging onto X, hoping it's a much nicer community here- so far it seems to be

It's a parody of itself enough as it is nowadays.... and half of America is lapping it up
