Food photographer + writer, about to query a romcom with recipes. In the Cotswolds/London after many years in Seattle. UK/US dual citizen. Follow for pro-EU, anti-Tory ranting and insights into US politics. #FBPE #amquerying
Food photog Francesca CAN’T fall for her client. Sure, Luca’s a legit snack but also part of a celeb couple the world adores. After feelings boil over, Luca reveals it’s a fauxmance. Too bad undoing a fake dating contract is FAR harder than setting one up. #questpit #r #romcom #amquerying
It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives
This right here
He has no idea and doesn’t care. He just wants the tax cuts and then declare victory. Little else matters to him.

Trump administration raises possibility of stripping Mamdani of US citizenship https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-raises-possibility-stripping-162233967.html
After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.
I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.
America has become an authoritarian state
Over in New York…
A left-wing candidate
Offered left-wing policies
To left-wing voters
…and won.
Any danger @UKLabour?
Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.
What the hell are we doing?
BRENNAN: Why would Iran agree to any peace deal if the US has already pulled out of one that they had, as President Trump did in 2018, and now launched surprise attacks?
RUBIO: The ones that shouldn't be trusted are the Iranians
!Holy Craptacular!
“It is Congress’ Constitutional responsibility to debate and approve any use of military force. This is why I called on Speaker Johnson last week to reconvene the U.S. House of Representatives, and I am calling on him once again to call us back into session now. Members must be briefed immediately on the evolving situation in the Middle East so we can fulfill our Constitutional responsibilities.”
Read my full statement on the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites below.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The GOP budget: brought to you by the phrase “stop hitting yourself.”
This matters. The world should be holding Israel to account instead of letting spout propaganda in all our countries.
It's amazing that any American women are willing to have intercourse at all, there is no 100% guaranteed contraceptive and the stakes just seem far too high to take that gamble. Even those who want to get pregnant have to consider the reality if something goes tragically wrong with the foetus.
The BSL during Finland was sensational #Eurovision
This is completely wrong. I've lived in Europe. They don't want our cars because:
1. Too big for roads and parking spaces
2. Too fuel inefficient in countries where gas is $6/gallon
3. Considered low quality for the cost
Could not have said it better!

Just six years after his Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered, at MBS’s direction, Jeff Bezos is going into business—and, thus, helping to enrich—the man who orchestrated it. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...
A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.
Called it the minute I heard it. Amazing voice and staging, wholesome non-binary energy plus descended into banging Eurovision-friendly EDM at the end.
So Eurovision is gonna need to have a VERY REAL conversation internally about what to do about a certain country that has phone banked two years in a row because of politics, right? This year was a near miss that could have killed the event. Christ that would have been bad.

SANE people
Couldn’t agree more.
