I don’t use this app enough to have followers but I am SO fed up with the bloody BBC (oh what a surprise they aren’t on here!) reporting crimes involving asylum seekers like they are the ONLY crimes of that sort going on. Go BBC News for promoting the Reform agenda 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Well phrased here. We all know Trump is repulsive to the point of vile, but he surely doesn’t have to prove it every day 🤬

I've no other way of putting this than fuck right off. What the ever loving hell is this? The "autism problem" Please yeet yourself into the sun post haste. Trump's diatribe was rooted in eugenic conspiracy theories aimed at eliminating autistic individuals, like myself. Fuck right off.

Well yes…… 🤷‍♀️

Left: Chris Philip complains that Labour returning 6% of asylum seekers is not good enough Right: Your reminder that the Conservatives spent £700 million to send 4 volunteers

It’s disappointing that we now use “illegal immigration” as a legitimate concern. UK law allows an asylum seeker to enter without legal paperwork. And they make up just 3%. We have always allowed a small number and nothing like other countries. But we processed them faster and allowed them to work.

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Just wait until the BBC, Sky, Mail, Telegraph, Express, Sun, and GBeebies get hold of this story of obvious and deliberate tax avoidance! JUST WAIT! <waits> <waits some more> <does today's sudoku> www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I do wish all those “anti immigrant zealots” would recognise the truth….

Mollie Gerver@mgerver.bsky.social

An excellent point by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social: the asylum seekers in hotels are here legally - that’s why they are given accommodation if they need it - yet they can’t legally work, contrary to what most UK citizens want. That’s one reason they can’t pay for their own accommodation.

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Loved this guy as governor of the Bank of England, I can’t see that’s going to change 😄

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social

Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future.

Good summary here 😊

Adam Creme@adamcreme.bsky.social

BBC: “Putin agrees fighting in Ukraine must end but says any plan must lead to ‘enduring peace’.” I mean he could just try withdrawing the troops that he sent in to invade the country/slaughter its civilians and instead respect Ukraine as a sovereign state. Just saying.

Bluesky does seem to be very earnest and worthy and serious - if I look at Threads it’s like visiting Mumsnet 🤣 Should Bluesky lighten up a little, or do I just follow the wrong people? 🤣

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

What do people call it - a timeline cleanse? I couldn’t resist sharing pictures of Flora from 4 years ago, she wasn’t quite 6 weeks old ❤️ She is just so adorable (and still is!) #dogsofbluesky

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

A photo circulating online appears to show former governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, on a beach with sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, but this picture isn’t real. It was almost certainly created using ‘Grok’, the generative AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s startup, xAI.

buff.lyImage of Mark Carney on beach with Ghislaine Maxwell is fake - Full FactThe photo has been shared online with posts claiming it shows the former governor of the Bank of England on Jeffery Epstein’s Island, but there are signs it was created using artificial intelligence.

For absolute fucks sake, like we didn’t know the orange idiot and his gurning sidekick had fallen into drug induced stupidity 😳😳😳

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war. Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

I’m starting to like Ed Davey more and more…..

Ed Davey@eddavey.libdems.org.uk

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

That's weird, I'm hearing story after story of how your party spent 14 years increasing child poverty, doubling homelessness, trebling national debt, wasting £8.7bn on dodgy PPE, raising taxes to a record high and filling our rivers with shit.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

So today it is Flora’s 4th birthday so I have donated to Jack Russell Terrier Rescue UK on her behalf to support #Pets4Pets ❤️ You can find them on Facebook, Bluesky won’t let me copy a link 😟

I’d use the word “appalling” rather than “perplexing” - the BBC really doesn’t care how biased and ridiculous their political “journalists” are it seems 😳

Amazing fish, hi Kevin!

Ryan Reads and Writes 📚✨@ryanreadsandwrites.me

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

I rarely post because most of my “followers” appear to be bots, however much I try and remove them. But that ketamine fuelled w***er did a Nazi salute during the inauguration ceremony - are you REALLY ok with that? If so, I’m ashamed of you……
