Bless him, he’s called Tractor Trevor as he was found extremely ill and basically immovable in a field and had to be taken away on a tractor. Galgos del Sol have worked miracles on him, and he’ll be joining our family of Spanish dogs: Podencos, Mastin, and Lab. ❤️🇪🇸🐾

Don’t know how visible this is, but here’s Tractor Trev #mastin - the newest member of our 🇪🇸🐾 family. We pick him up near Bristol tomorrow night. Nervous but excited, and determined to give him the best ever forever home. www.facebook.com/share/r/1KFF...

what, and I must stress, the fuck

21st Century Britain. True Patriot vs Far right racist scum

0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat Just a few stat's from Oxfam's incredible new report Read: www.oxfam.org/en/disaster-...

Well, this says everything.

In today's Budget, the Chancellor has the opportunity to unlock an economy that works for everybody, by delivering on the Prime Minister’s pledge to draw a line under trickle down economics once and for all. Our member Phil White writes for @left-foot-forward.bsky.social

I genuinely believe the biggest risk of holding the Qatar GP is that the airports close and routes out of the country become a danger, meaning both Portimão and Valencia are also cancelled. Road routes out are through Saudi and UAE, both of which will have drones and missiles falling on them

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

Israel potentially being unable to move past Netanyahu because the supposed moderates can't stomach making a coalition with Arabs really says a lot about how deep the racism is there.

Happy birthday to Dylan Thomas. So a chance to shamelessly plug my @theraindogs.bsky.social album "Slow Black Crowblack". Not so much a tone poem of "Under Milk Wood" as a love letter to the man and his beautiful words. the-rain-dogs.bandcamp.com/album/slow-b... #dylanthomas

Whilst both Paddington and I will obviously be appreciative of a tiny bit of faffing with the price of marmalade, I really wish these people would get the hell on with doing the big things that would make massive economic improvements for us all. They could, but they don’t. Cowards.

Carbon capture technologies do not work anywhere, and never will It's a distraction technology dreamt up to give oil and gas companies a green smoke screen UK spending £24 billion on ‘fairytale’ carbon capture tech is a national embarrassment, chancellor told

I sincerely hope there’s some kind of Nuremberg 2 for everyone from the very top to the very bottom complicit in these horrors.

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

Taste the Ethnic Cleansing.

Excellent ✊

Saw this (detail from "The Apocalypse of 1313" - (1313) - Colin Chadewe) on a Medieval Art FB page I follow, and I must say I'm really digging the demon's "Going anywhere nice on your holidays?" vibe.

Interesting morning. Farage on BBC, Jeremy Hunt on ITV and Liz Truss on Sky. What a great range of right-wing shittery the media continues to offer.

Where is the coverage of this it should be on every news front.

. @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social "Trump has decided that this war has to end with Ukraine losing" "Trump has contempt for Zelenskyy because he's a proper leader with values and integrity, and all the things Donald Trump doesn't stand for"

I think if any political party wants a vote winning policy it’d be stamping down on data centres, calling a complete halt, bringing in the most massively stringent conditions on data purpose, energy usage, environmental and light pollution, and water use - in each and every single case.

💚🙏👇 Microsoft wants to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Today prog with their regular Reform slot around 7.35. Extra points if the presenter squeezes in the phrase ‘under a Reform government.’ It’s so blatant…😡

I don’t think enough is said about how funny this is. He would have briefed somebody to do this. Possibly while stood behind them, making suggestions over their shoulder. Stood on a stepladder.

Admidst their internal party politics, Labour have done nothing to redress how Cameron stuffed the BBC full of right-wing political bias. They have done nothing to effect proper #MediaReform. They have not instigated #Leveson2. Shocking dereliction of duty.

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

So... That Turning Point/UVF documentary with all the people admitting to actual crimes is going nowhere except the memory hole then, huh? Damn, you'd think that'd be at least one or two real journalists in the country capable of feeling shame about what that says about the industry.

Piece of shit Reform UK "newspaper" all packaged up (in the envelope my Private Eye came in*) and ready to pop in the post box tomorrow to their freepost address which I believe means they will pay the postage. A tiny act but immensely satisfying. -- * with my address cut off, natch.

"Music? I suppose music is as good as anything. Go home, put your best record on...loud as it'll play...and with every note, you remember...that's something that the darkness couldn't take from you." The wisdom of DI Fred Thursday, played by the great Roger Allam who turns 73 today. #TV #endeavour

The USA is effectively part of Russia’s war effort.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

BBC happily interviews lots of Zionists saying they are offended and fearful about Green Party rehashing a 1975 UN motion saying Zionism is racism But not Palestinians living in apartheid Israel about discrimination they face in jobs, housing, education every day of their lives meme via Dave Toller

Don’t think anyone’s made quite enough fuss that they had the Holy Grail on Antiques Roadshow last week.

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then "performative pietism" is surely the panic room inside.

The thing about Donald Trump is that he is an absolute god tier loser snowflake who collapses emotionally whenever some says something nasty about him. He is the epitome of a weak, pathetic, sad sack loser

I watched the PM on #GMB this morning & both Gillian & Kevin are right, he comes across as very likeable. But as Kevin says, he's got to walk the talk. And whether its on taxing wealth, nationalising water, an ethical foreign policy, & so on, he's given every indication he's not going to.

100% this. And it's something we need to get moving on in the UK too. Sharpish.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
