Okay, I shouldn't have to say this but it seems I do. If you send me a DM within minutes or hours of being followed you will be blocked. End of.

Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @progintl.bsky.social delegation.

Quite. Also GDP, and therefore tax revenues to do social democracy with.

By all accounts this is what most of the recent Reform media events have looked like. Bubble well and truly burst

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

#bbcbreakfast Brexit has not been “reopened because of Andy Burnham”, but because: - it’s turned out to be a costly mistake - geopolitics shows we can’t rely on the US, but need to work with our neighbours with whom we share common interests - the public has turned against it

Good. The government is finally catching up with where voters have long been on freedom of movement. Our polling repeatedly shows clear support for the advantages it would bring. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-uk-eu-free-movement-andy-burnham-b3073929.html

BREAKING: Former Miss Switzerland Accuses Trump of Rape A former Miss Switzerland alleges that President Donald Trump raped her while she was in the U.S. for a pageant in 1993. The allegation was included in a report released on Monday by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

I suspect he doesn't like autistic people because so many just happen to be the scientists and the researchers creating safe, effective vaccines.

House Dems Report: “A growing body of evidence demonstrates Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the 1990s. The DOJ & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the 🇺🇸 people in the dark about it.” The report: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

Freedom of movement gave British people the chance to work, study and build a life across the EU. Restoring it would open those opportunities again.… #FreedomOfMovement

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“The case for Rejoin must be a case for Europe as our home: a continent…prepared to take on and defeat Russian imperialism, an economic union which can shelter countries from the storm of a global trade war” A team we want to belong to. Because it strengthens us all. www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

🚨Out of the 11 women who tie Donald Trump to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, 5 of them—Beatrice Keul, Stacey Williams, Jill Harth, Katie Johnson, and a Jane Doe—have directly accused Trump of raping or sexually assaulting them in Epstein’s company or direct physical presence.

And remember, these are only the women who have dared to come forward so far...

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Europe is the future now www.arguably.uk/p/europe-is-...

This is utterly damning, and yet still about as generous as possible

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅

Shocked that Brexit was a Putin Plan? Four years we document confirmation of this by the US Army who saw it as as the “First Step in a Russian Information Blitzkrieg on the West” @nafeez.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2022/03/02/t...

The number of inane, false, illogical narratives about Ukraine is already too large but the latest-- Putin offered to withdraw all Ru troops in 2023 but Zelensky refused-- breaks the bullshit-o-meter! It tops "Boris Johnson forced Ukrainians to fight" in lack of logic and situational awareness.

Burnham is doing what Starmer should have done. He is making the case that Brexit hasn't worked, saying what his own view is, and explaining what the likely choices are, and where the ownership of decisions will rest. Ie proper grown up politics for the first time in years

NEW: Trump is a Russian asset. And the UK government is finally waking from its decade-long slumber Read this. And order a wind-up radio. broligarchy.substack.com/p/the-dark-t...

Should we really entrust Britain's health data to a particular American firm? Demonstrators across the country think not | Aidan Baker

The far-right can be defeated but one crucial factor is motivating young people to vote. If young people had voted in the same numbers as older people the UK would still be in the EU.

FoM denied means normal family life is denied

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

The BBC Reform propaganda national broadcaster. Their coverage isn’t ’balance’ it’s bias.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Elon Musk not only controls the satellite systems that the Ukrainian army - and other European armies - rely upon, he also controls the algorithms that govern a large swathe of the European information space. Europe needs to decouple from this clear and present threat to their security. My latest

🚨 Cary Mitchell, Director of Strategy at Best for Britain: 👏 “Our polling shows clear support for the advantages it would bring. That’s only logical when the reciprocal benefits include opening 27 doors onto priceless opportunities for young British people"

As a UK fashion photographer, FOM allowed me to hop on a plane and do paid work in any EU city, no questions asked. The Single Market also allowed my UK company to invoice a French client in Euros and receive payments directly to my UK account. Customs Union meant no customs paperwork for my gear.

#RestoreFOM #FreedomOfMovement

Someoen needs the guts to stand up to the tech giants. The EU can "Meta's new terms are clearly anti-competitive. Many business' effectively have no choice but to ​use Meta's services & these conditions would force them to sign away the rights to their digital content ​with no means of opting out"

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

Susanna Reid, "Why have you brought up rejoining the European Union?" Andy Burnham, "We have a decade of experience now looking back at Brexit, and I don't think it has played out as people said at the time"

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

Can’t believe this. Speaking plainly, and honestly. Finally addressing the issue head on, instead of skirting around it, pretending Brexit is fine. Finally.

Nerdy but (I think) important point. We haven't talked enough about how significant Google ending its 'cached' versions of websites in 2024 was. It was effectively a huge archive of much of the open internet. It's completely gone, leaving historians & journalists etc heavily reliant on one service.

Yes 👏 Finally, a Prime Minister being honest about the damage Brexit has done - and the only real option on the table. EU membership. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e36kyk1qx5o
