The backlog in processing both these and blue badge applications/renewals is ridiculous, too.

My daughter is a wheelchair user and it took about 5 months for her bus pass to come through, and about 4 months for her blue badge renewal. She cut back on going out during that time as a result.

I understand that it’s terrifying to think that the emperor has no clothes when the emperor is running the most powerful military in human history but he is on the biggest stage imaginable and he is doing the helicopter dick and at some point you’ve gotta face reality

Schrödinger's War They can’t agree on whether it’s a war, a mission, regime change, or self-defense. They don’t need to. They just need Congress to stay out.

Today's newsletter: Trump renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War. The website says war dot gov. Pete Hegseth goes by Secretary of War. But they'd like you to know that what's happening in Iran is not a war. It's a limited mission. www.readtpa.com/p/schrodinge...

Except that isn't what happened - for a start, he didn't charge for the boob thing that a reporter actually asked him to try. That isn't even contested.

It's a blatant attempt at smearing.

If you do care, perhaps take the time to find out the facts, and don't just leap on false narratives 🤷‍♀️

Or that 'antisemitism' will come to be a meaningless term, because they throw it at any criticism of Israeli foreign policy, leading to 'the boy who cried wolf' effect...

Zionists are harming Jewish people everywhere with their actions, as well as their stated 'targets'.

My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:

James Elder, UNICEF Spokesperson: “168 girls killed in a school in Iran…When the killing of children doesn’t dominate the news politics, something fundamental has shifted…if a child can be killed and it doesn’t feel like a loss for all of us, then I think we’ve lost more than we realize”

I really struggle to feel sympathy for people who voted to cause harm to others, but then change their minds when the harm lands on their own doorstep.

I know I shouldn't. I can't help it. Something to work on I suppose...

How fked up do you have to be so that your take on a schoolgirl being stabbed is 'shame the attacker is white'...🤬🤬🤬

These horrors couldn't care less about women and girls. They just want to spread hatred.

You said 'I was seriously considering voting Green', past tense, which my AuDHD brain took to mean you no longer are, so apologies for misunderstanding.

Spain permanently withdraws ambassador as rift with Israel deepens Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a ​diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries ‌over Spain's opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped.

To be honest, Ian, you state on this thread that you like many Green policies, but started your contribution saying you won't vote Green.

It comes across as though you've been looking for excuses not to vote Green, rather than engaging in good faith.

I'm extending applications til the end of this month.

Stop umm-ing and uhhh-ing and sign up for a great community getaway in a stunning location.

It will cost whatever your travel costs are. We will provide everything else. :)

Who cares what Labour say, when they break their word at the drop of a hat?

This 'Labour' Party are fundamentally untrustworthy. They will not get my vote regardless of which false promises they spout next.

The question isn’t whether the economy will grow.

The real test is whether it feeds people, houses people, and protects the stability of our fragile planet.

Measles like HIV is a rare immune system damaging virus.

Not only does catching Measles make you more likely to catch Measles again, it also reduces your protection against every other disease.

Including diseases you 'used' to be immune to.

A screenshot of a post by Maya Forstater on X (formerly Twitter). The main image is a dark, blue-tinted selfie of Forstater in the foreground, wearing glasses and a patterned scarf. Behind her is a large, crowded concert arena with a brightly lit stage in the distance. Below the photo is a quote-repost from "The Lies They Tell" (@sarahstuartxx) which reads: ​"Join me tonight as I cover live the thrills and spills of the Trans Mission Live concert. Turns include Zack Polanski, Beth Ditto and a bunch of people you’ve never heard of. Literally hundreds of people attending the #FoxKillersVanityProject"

A screenshot of a post by Julie Bindel on X featuring the hashtag #TransMission. The image shows a candid, side-profile photo of a woman with short dark hair wearing a long-sleeved green shirt. She is leaning against a black metal railing in what appears to be a dimly lit venue with purple ambient lighting.

It's really funny how Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel spend all their time online fearmongering about how trans people are dangers to women and children yet they went to a stadium full of 10k trans people and nothing at all happened to them.

The Watering has begun! It is time to be Moist!

Honestly, the main thing holding me back from that atm is not owning a letter opener...🙄🤭

Calling out a genocide and the UK Govt’s complicity is “completely intolerable”? Think Kneecap are in the right here,& Starmer very much isn’t. History won’t be on your side,PM 🤔

Membership of a party gives it resources to do things with. That makes members complicit when said party causes harm using those resources.

It's like watching someone shoot innocent people, then handing them more bullets.

At least have the modicum of decency required to acknowledge that.

Anytime.
