How Far To Hitchin

"we have a leader to the opposition to war ... @zackpolanski.bsky.social"

The Guardian view on Kemi Badenoch and the Iran war: confusion reveals a lack of serious thinking | Editorial Editorial: The Tories and Reform UK have abandoned British interests to become ideological satellites of radical US conservatism

“Reform and the Tories are now ideological satellites of extreme US conservatism, adopting Maga-coded positions on culture war issues and foreign policy by default”

Badenoch was clumsier on Iran than Farage. But both paraded just how dangerously useless they are.

I know exactly what you mean. I've experienced similar in the past. The pervasive qualities of fag smoke are quite astounding.

Black Market, the sixth studio album by Weather Report, was released #OTD 1976 through Columbia Records.

If you agree as well, pass it on.

The first step in the road to removal of all of our rights was Brexit. The next is the abolition of juries.

This is so important we must ALL do everything possible to prevent it, regardless of politics or anything else.

To think, Starmer used to be a #decent lawyer.

I’m beyond angry, too. Both their right wing bias and obsession with the US-Israel war doesn’t reflect the nuanced opinions of the majority of people I speak with. It’s absolutely infuriating to be misrepresented in this way.

Hope you get the opportunity to pamper yourself for the rest of the day👍

I do the same in my studio👍

I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party

@zackpolanski.bsky.social said it would be a battle between Reform’s big money & our people power. We showed that not only can people power win, it can win big. #HannahSpencer took on the #billionaire donors and won – message now is that we can do that everywhere

Gist🙄 I'm knackered, just got out of hospital today.

That came out in wring order. You get the jist🤞

2... 'wow, look where *I* am'.
I was in a weird place once. On Citalopram. Wow, look. where *I* am.

1 You really are in a weird place. Weird stuff, although it seems unending sometimes, usually levels out and eases into more permanent and comfortable stuff. You probably wont notice the transition until one quiet moment at some point in the future when you suddenly think to yourself

I am massively, MASSIVELY grateful to @ldlapinski.bsky.social for making the trip to #Orkney this week to work with four schools across three days, as well as finding time to visit our local bookshop in #Kirkwall and sign their copies too! Such an amazing opportunity for our pupils! #WorldBookDay 🙌🏻📚

Still reading. Still listening.❣️

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

First time I've seen someone decide winning an election is bad for the winning party.

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.

We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.

And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

Labour PM can't even be bothered to finish abolishing *feudalism*, they're never gonna get around to capitalism

When the media covers war, every other topic fades Trump will do anything to distract from the political damage of the Epstein files

'Subjects that were dominating the news last week are brushed aside. Instead, it’s all war, all the time.'

@sulliview.bsky.social reminds readers not to lose sight of the (many, many) topics that Trump doesn't want you to pay attention to

Evil personified 🤬

Has anyone, ever wasted such a massive majority in the house whilst still managing to devastate their own future so comprehensively before?

And all to please the rich as they burn their own support.

Keir Starmer when you were running for Labour leader you promised to introduce this legislation to stop the UK being dragged into illegal wars - it's time to show you were serious about that.

It's not hard to see what's happening here. Labour has been desperately courting voters who switched to Reform years ago and are never coming back, while repeatedly dissing and dismissing its own voters and the things they care about. A plausible alternative emerges, and down the ship goes.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Hope won 💚

Day 1.

Hope is already feeling a lot more normal again.

Who's going to explain to Keir Starmer that you can't join "defensively" a war of aggression? That makes you an aggressor too.

More war crimes to add to Starmer's tally from providing material aid to Israel's genocide in Gaza.
