KC3 has his knockers (titter ye not) but he's been voted 2 years running the best king we've got. Other kings would be relaxing at 76, but Charles works tirelessly to ensure his feckless subjects have a full belly. Gawd bless yer, guvnor, and long may you sponge off of us!

Labour has become unrecognisable. 75 MPs members of Labour Friends of Israel & 41 have accepted financial donations from Israel lobbyists, see below ⬇️ ⬇️

I just clicked on a link that was meant to take me to a news story about Donald Trump's diesel deal with his boss, Putin. Before taking me to the actual story, I landed on a page offering a free online dementia test. Coincidence? 

Halloween candy is expensive this year, so I'll be handing out packing chips that come free with many of my deliveries.

Halloween candy is expensive this year, so I’ll just be handing those little takeaway soy sauce fishes from the takeaway soy sauce fishes drawer.

Trump blue eye Flavio Bolsonaro, just like his dad, refuses to accept election result. He describes the result as impossible. As the re-elected president Lula da Silva quoted, his win is a victory over lies.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Jim jams, carpet slippers, dressing gown and pooch - this guy photographed leaving a polling station in Belgrade after voting in the Serbian elections. Don't know how he voted but what a great look. Pic stolen from The Guardian. 

Took this pic between storms at Ormskirk parkrun yesterday just before arrival of hundreds of parkrunners & walkers & buggy pushers & someone dressed as super woman. I went on to run my 200th parkrun but put in the shade by other milestone runners doing their 250th & 400th. There was much cake 🍰

Far right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security since 2022. Published an AI video of Palestinian prisoners entering prison on a conveyor belt & coming out the other side drawn & emaciated. You can make up your own mind on the sheer depravity of the man & his government.

I was in London 7/7 thankfully not on one of the bombed trains, but recall the chaos of the day & weeks to follow. I can recommend ITV drama, Suspect. Well researched & well acted & can be streamed. Focuses on the Menezez killing & highlights the Teflon ™️ coating of Ian Blair & Cressida Dick.

Does anyone out there on BlueSky know why the actress, Diana Dors changed her name from Diana Fluck? 🤷‍♂️ It would have been her 95th birthday yesterday.

Daughter #1 was supposed to run the Snowdonia marathon today – event called off because of severe weather. She is gutted, but I'm really relieved! As a consolation, she is currently running her own one woman marathon in our local area.

Thrifty Survivor Tips • Can't afford Twiglets? Gather twigs from the garden, cover them in Marmite and bake. • Out of water? Don't panic! Empty contents of all your ice cube trays into a bucket. Now go have a few beers down the pub. When you get home, as if by magic, you've got a bucket of water.

Just a reminder that this man is solely responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, including children and babies. All because he's a racist from apartheid South Africa who hates poor people, Black people, and Brown people.

Andy Burnham says he has stockpiles of beans, soup and Twiglets in case of a civil emergency. It seems reasonably sensible, but why does the advice keep changing?

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ From time to time I like to repost this seminal exchange between Professor Stanley Unwin and Peter Hawkins, the voice of Bill and Ben. 

Zia Yusuf is still raging over the ITV exposé of the racist and misogynistic views that, let's face it, define his vile party. He's particularly miffed that the undercover reporters didn't ask permission to film his colleagues being racist.  www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

theguardian.comReform snowflake Zia Yusuf demands safe space from ITV’s racism huntersHow can it be right that undercover reporters failed to ask permission to expose party’s racist and misogynist views?

Squeaky bum time for Labour MP Jeevun Sandher as Politics Live guest Dalia Gebrial neatly destroys Labour's shoddy defence of their proscription of Palestine Action. Jeevun's adherence to the party line indicates the lack of moral courage from him & his colleagues. WTF happened to Labour values?

Very few people have embraced the post-truth era as much as King Donald. 

News to Remember@moments2remember.link

President Trump is directly tying waiving Russian sanctions to the release of the freed American Stephen Hubbard, despite denying he gave anything to Putin.
