We really miss you @barackobama.bsky.social And at the same time it’s so nice to hear your voice supporting @abdulelsayed.bsky.social It’s time to remove the #NationalTrash from #WhiteHouse I #VoteBlue on #EarlyVoting on the past #Monday Just two weeks for #BlueTsunami Gentlemen !!!!

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

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist… All because @andyburnham.bsky.social suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement …do you perhaps need reminding of this?

Nigel Farage, Daniel Hannan, Aaron Banks: the remaining Brexiters look so stale and dated and old. Listening to them is like eating mouldy bread from the back of the cupboard open.substack.com/pub/arguably...

Planting a tree means nothing if it dies a week later. Local authority tree planting is down 45%, and the trees we do plant are heavily imported, bringing biosecurity risks with them. @nationaltrust.org.uk #EcoSky #TreePlanting #GrownInBritain

Despite Lula solidly winning the Brazilian Presidential runoff, his Far Right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro is describing the result as “inexplicable” and calling for the election to be annulled. A preview for the US Midterms.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I love this idea!!👏👏✨ Reading a book offers an opportunity to escape to a new world, learn new things & is a bridge to a better life!😊 Books have always been my friends so a room with shelves full of books is a very good welcoming sign!📚☕️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kemi Badenoch and Jacob Rees-Mogg, both Conservatives, criticised Andy Burnham for appearing on Gogglebox Here's Boris Johnson appearing on Eastenders when he was Mayor of London The double standards are extraordinary.

This is disgusting!!😤😡

General Melchett .... miles behind the lines

Wait.... 29% of Reform voters would consider rejoining the EU... and 16% don't know And a mere 51% would vote to stay out. My giddy aunt - this is bonkers

Yes, most of the public have no idea how far-reaching the loss of FoM is for British nationals. It's more than not being able to work, marry, live, retire, or study in another EU nation. It deeply affects UK workers, artists, musicians, business people, and, of course, the free movement of goods

Leaky Sue strikes again.

Canadian married to an American, dentist trained in America, father of American child, volunteers at American church dental clinic, no criminal record. Does this sound like the worst of the worst to you?! #AbolishICE #CrushICE open.substack.com/pub/eyesonic...

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

Angela Rayner, "We're 10 years on from Brexit, we now need to look at what the next 10 years will look like" "We've seen a 20% reduction in exports with the EU" "That's 16,000 businesses no longer exporting to the EU because of Brexit red tape"

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

My utilities come to about £3,000 a year. Cruella claims £45,000 from us to pay for hers. And she'll no doubt be cheering on 'Honest' Bob's plans to cut welfare from those most in need.

Jeremy Hunt criticises Labour for having a million NEETs, even though 872,000 of them were under a Conservative gov He then argues against FOM because Europeans will come to Britain and take jobs, conveniently ignoring that some of those NEETs could go to other European countries to find employment

Brent Hoberman, "Tech entrepreneurs will love it (rejoining the EU)" "Europe has amazing talent, some of them find it too hard to come here" "If we want London and the UK to be a centre of technology talent, this would be a good thing"

Rather windy and chilly in Newcastle today. My cat is snuggling on top of a hot water bottle which is underneath my duvet & under what used to be one of my kid’s baby blankets. It’s a hard life being a cat!

4 DAYS TO GO until Thames Water creditors meet to agree *another* bailout at our expense Voters will not forgive @andyburnham.bsky.social if he lets a bunch of US hedge funds get away with this Take back Thames Water, slash the debt, bring it into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP weownit.org.uk/act-now/tham...

This is the woman of the week. Virginia Dillard, age 105, got herself all pretty to go vote in Texas. 💙

In the Budget HMRC will be granted powers to seize money directly from the bank accounts of people who fail to pay their taxes. Does this include people like Nadhim Zahawi, Lord Bamford and all the other massive tax avoiders. Or is it just for the little people as usual?

We don’t need a business-as-usual Budget. We need a Budget to tax extreme wealth and make the UK affordable. This is the scale of change Britain desperately needs – and only the Green Party can deliver it.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

This was once a forest in Finland of more than 250,000 trees. Google chopped it down illegally to build another one of their AI Monstrosities. The sooner they are all bankrupt the better.

Sanderling on the Shore, at Alnmouth.

Wandering woodlands like this during autumn is up there with one of my favourite activities. It's good for the soul!

@daliagebrial.bsky.social : "Sally Rooney.. was also making a point about the proscription of Palestine Action as an unprecedented overreach of govt power, an abuse of govt power.. [that] the actions of PA do not fit any conventional respected intl definition of terror.." 🎯

Finished Season 4 The Diplomat- was excellent- hope not too long before Season 5?! It was lovely to see the backdrop of Tuscany and especially Lucca- one of my favourite cities. 😊

Reform UK just got fined £2,187 for 4 breaches of electoral law. They could pay that fine 32, 914 times with there recent £72,000,000 donation. See the problem here?

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

"As we squabble over power, politics, and pride, the world burns." For the sake of health and security we must phase out fossil fuels, writes @kamranabbasi.bsky.social in this Editor's Choice #BMJClimate www.bmj.com/content/395/...
