BREAKING: @andyburnham.bsky.social says the Duchy of Lancaster is treating people in the north as “second-class citizens” after failing to support the clean-up of a huge illegal waste dump near Wigan
An investigation by Ch 4 News uncovered that the estate of King Charles is connected to the site
A savage, magnificent, virtuosic and unlikely to be surpassed evisceration of "Mummy's Favourite".

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:
It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.
We must protect jury trials.
How on earth can we continue with a World Cup hosted by a nation that is at war with other parts of the world?
It’s crazy! 🤷♂️
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
'This is — unbelievably — Sky News third attempt at this tweet and still they still can’t say: “Israel has killed 400 people in Lebanon”
Shocking. These three iterations of the same tweet tell us so much.'

With every day the oil price rises beyond our control, Deform UK's pledge to scrap Net Zero looks even more stupid.
Who else agrees with Zarah Sultana? - “The UK governments has to call on an end to the attacks on Iran and Lebanon”
Save the Lionesses. Iran’s women’s national team stayed silent during the anthem in Australia and were branded “traitors” on state TV, with threats of severe punishment when they return.
On International Women’s Day, amplify their SOS and demand Australia and FIFA guarantee their safety.
Oh poor frogface, missed his chance to talk down the UK! Prick!
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Tweet from Jon “Bowzer” Bauman calling something “literal fake news,” quoting a Bulwark post saying Fox News Sunday aired old footage of a military dignified transfer instead of the most recent one; screenshot shows Donald Trump saluting during the ceremony.
The Fox network is covering for the fact that Trump’s a disrespectful jerk to our fallen soldiers and their families.
Civilization is built on laws, yes, but also safe food, clean drinking water and sanitary waste disposal.
Next time you drive by one of these potable water towers, take a minute to appreciate how foundational they are to our way of life.
It's also an ideal location for graffiti. 😉
Auditor for collapsed £2bn shadow bank had just two employees.
Yet authorised to conduct audits.
No transparency about the conduct of audit.
At BHS, PwC partner was budgeted to spend two hours on audit, 31 hours on consultancy. Collapse exposed botched audits.
No reforms.

"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
An utterly brilliant article on a revolting spectacle. Do Read. @questingvole.bsky.social

🫠 Good to see politicians committed to public service rather than their personal bank accounts.
Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.
Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.
BBC journalist outside RAF Fairford: "a demonstration of the size of the American firepower that they can bring to bear when these kinds of conflicts arise"
Such a good job the Americans have all that firepower for when, checks notes, America starts wars.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
"Farage & Reform were banging on about the Labour Party under the influence of the Chinese after 3 people arrested, one the husband of a Labour MP.
Reform have now gone very quiet - because one of the others who was arrested, Michael Aplin, was a former member of #Reform..."

From Shades of Freedom:
Americans are being sacrificed for Netanyahu’s ambitions — and Trump calls it victory.
Why doesn’t anyone in the Trump regime seem to care about the fact that Russia is helping Iran target US troops?
Imagine WANTING to serve in the US armed forces for a president who has no respect whatsoever for service personnel.
