Our newest arrivals. They are called Bonnie and Clyde. 2 nice ladies got them out of this neglect situation. Sadly a 3rd dog died there recently. Hopefully we can turn their lives around 🤞❤️

🚨"Steps towards reintegrating with the single market would add up to a more convincing growth strategy than the fairly spartan offerings we’ve heard of to date." - FT Economics Editor 👇 https://www.ft.com/content/01aa72f2-6ae6-4777-8273-e81e4188d1a8?syn-25a6b1a6=1

These street dogs never cease to amaze me. I was sure that Birdie was gone. If you need a huge smile today this will sort you out! Unbelievable scenes!

Perfect.

Two new polls this weekend give Labour an 8 pt lead

Left: President Trump, "I saw Obama was in Michigan and the place was empty" Right: Obama, El-Sayed and Benson walk onto stage and the full house crowd erupts in joy

Daisy Cooper, "We need to get Britain growing again, and the single biggest lever to grow our economy, is to get a better deal with t he European Union" "Join the EU Single Market, join the Customs Union, get a better defence pack - and that includes Freedom of Movement"

“Andy Burnham admitted he is considering allowing freedom of movement… …as pro-EU groups warn Brexit has left a black hole of up to £240bn in economic growth”

We’re calling on Ofcom to: 🔍Open a formal investigation into Nigel Farage presenting GB News shows 📃Clarify its rules around TV news channels 👀Open an inquiry into whether sitting MPs or political party leaders should be allowed to present news programmes Add your name ⬇️

AI is eating the jobs of thousands of people - yet rather than being taxed like the people they're throwing out of work, the big tech firms are actually getting tax breaks. Why...?! That makes no sense - financially or ethically! @greenparty.org.uk 👍

How odd that Reform, Tory, and even Labour MPs know that Thatcherite privatisation caused Britian's massive debts, but want even more privatisation (of course, donations from private healthcare, fossil fuel etc lobbyists have no effects on their deeply held views) meme via The UK Against Hate

Just the news to kick off the weekend

Due to cuts to the World Food Programme by the USA (and also UK/France/Germany) food shipments into Gaza have been halved. This is the ONLY source of food in Gaza and no one is allowed to leave. These nations are directly carrying out a Genocide.

Tell that to university managers the world over.

He said to Trump: "If you can't get Putin to end the war and reach an energy agreement, then give me antiaircraft missiles. I won't use them against just anyone; I will use them to protect our energy sector. Give us missiles. Not for free-mind you, not even for free. The Europeans are funding it.

Finally… 🇬🇧 Parts of the right-wing press have finally noticed Brexit was a disaster. Only took a decade 
🏦 The banks, the budget, and why it's time they paid up

The strongest call yet 👏

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Boris Johnson needs to be charged with multiple manslaughter. If he was anyone else he would be.

There's something profoundly absurd about British politics. Ten years after a referendum fought on misleading promises, scaremongering and barely thought-through plans, we're still treating its result as some sacred democratic commandment. 🧵

In just a week, Oxford Street begins its transformation into a world-class, traffic-free destination for shopping, culture and leisure. A greener, more vibrant high street that supports businesses, creates jobs and brings new opportunities for Londoners and visitors alike.

⚡️ "We can't compare me and Putin. He's aggressor. He occupied us. He killed adults and children," President Zelenskyy says.

Does this picture describe Reform UK perfectly? (Or at least one aspect) #ReformUK #UKPolitics

My US voting residence is in NY so my vote is close to meaningless. But my nephew is attending U Mich and gets the pleasure of casting a meaningful vote for this guy.

Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain" I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Labour politician

In 2016 the Conservative Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, "The only country that would like us to leave the EU is Russia" In 2026 the former Head of MI6 Sir John Sawers, "Because that would marginalise Britain as a global player and weaken Europe in general"

A small prick... in the oval office

My friend and colleague @mothinali.bsky.social is a hero, working to heal divisions. His win today against right wing smears is not only for him but for all global majority politicians whatever party they serve in their fight against lies and abuse. www.thenational.scot/news/2664344...

US sources have confirmed the order to throttle Starshield to hobble Ukraine's ability to defend itself came from within the White House. The security implications for the UK are huge. Along with other European nations, we MUST decouple our defence capabilities from the US. bsky.app/profile/reut...

So many farmers have signalled their willingness to transition to more sustainable farming methods if the government supports them to do so - yet once again the rug has been pulled out from under them. Govt must step up on supporting the SFI and nature-friendly farming.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

Asked by Sky News at the EU summit in Brussels whether he is being made a scapegoat for Trump's problems at home, Zelensky stood silent at the podium for about ten seconds, then said: "This is my answer. Thank you so much." Then he left.

Slow round of applause for the coward EU official who came up with this little piece of bullshit last night. iandunt.substack.com/p/these-are-...

Let the Trump regime know how you feel about their betrayal of Ukraine. Let the people of Ukraine know you stand with them. Join the demonstration outside the US embassy in London at 6pm today🇺🇦 ukrainesolidaritycampaign.org/2026/10/14/s...

George Monbiot is right: the best option is to rejoin the EU. And the reality is that the process doesn't have to take long. Experts have confirmed that the UK could rejoin within a single Parliament.

Putin does not want to end the war, and he will not stop at Donbas. Everyone understands this now. Europe is uniting in support of Ukraine because these risks affect not only Ukraine - they pose major risks to Europe as well.
