This is a masterpiece of a chart. Well done @theboysmithy.ft.com and @amyborrett.ft.com. Take some time to understand it. Jealous

It’s amazing how many of the Trump 2nd Term proponents are backtracking, hoping to erase their own history Not surprised the worst PM (yes worse than Truss & Cameron) would do likewise

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Paddy Power quick off the mark here. FA’s lawyers hold open-top bus parade

[1965] A Hard Day’s Night - Comedy version of The Beatles song in which Peter Sellers recites the lyrics in the style of Laurence Olivier in the film Richard III. It became a UK Top 20 hit in 1965.

God this is going so well. I haven’t laughed this hard in so long!

Very clever 😄 (I had to look up what Monegasque is 🤣🤣)

I'm sorry but: a journalist knocked on my mum's door, so now she can "never, ever" go back to it? I thought it was millennials / gen z who were supposed to be the snowflakes? Or the libs that get triggered?

Discusting We’re being played for fools

I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026

A good read from @ecotricity.bsky.social, during the "heatwave" UK gas fired power stations lost up to 22% of their power generation. www.ecotricity.co.uk/our-news/202...

Appreciate the below is satire but there’s a serious message around “privilege“ in our country My daughter has got A* A* A but never got beyond interview stage at Cambridge So it demonstrates how “mediocre“ get into positions of power BTW accepted by Bristol - so its their gain🎓

This is a v good analysis of where the world now finds itself Where it goes from here is anyone’s guess (as the whims of an orange man-child change with the time of day)

By the way… really enjoying reading all the poetry others recall It demonstrates the power of “art” to inspire the masses I always judge myself as someone who lacks appreciation of art, but tonight is helping to “amend that view” BIG Thank-you to all who are contributing❤️

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same

This is going in tomorrow’s lecture to new students at UCL. Thanks @resfoundation.bsky.social

Excellent thread I just wished more MSM did good research such as this to de-bunk the myths.

I guess… a racist?

As an illustration, I just debated a young "thinktank researcher" who said the fall in white British % was concerning, not for racist reasons, because we wanted to think that people we passed in the street had a "familial connection" to the country. Seriously, who the fuck thinks like this???

Study on London 20 mph limits shows: - collisions ⬇️ 35% - casualties ⬇️ 36% - fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34% - child casualties ⬇️ 46% - child deaths ⬇️ 75% - walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits...

A perfect illustration of democracy…

This is an excellent analysis of how “facts” get twisted And we must all push back on them

I’ve signed, 1100 now needed

100% aligned Learn lessons from Europe: France Ctre Right try to out do Le Pen, and consumed Germany Ctre Right try to out do AfD and consumed Canada & Aus Ctre Left have shown the way Starmer must follow it (ie be more Attlee; less Ref Light)

Excellent summary of the impacts from Brexit on the UKs economic performance; and the potential for similar impact on US‘s

1) this sums up the difficulties here (and how thick the people on that side of the debate are) 2) I believe this now makes the situation for females far more dangerous (as outlined by the intelligent grown up in this clip)

Here's a zero-gravity parody song about this week's coverage of #BlueOrigin's rocket launch. Sorry we forgot to turn the clicker off but we were more worried about getting the pitch (nearly) right. It's called "Flight from Earth" based on the anthemic #Firework by #KatyPerry 🎇🎶 youtu.be/YJF6NcwkZbc

Beautiful And a perfect composition (as ever)

The reduction in US exports has happened far quicker than i expected This must mean the US will be in a recession from Apr, but will take a couple of months before anyone notices from govt stats - which are likely to be buried as by then Trump is likely to be full on dictator

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

@matthewstadlen.bsky.social did a v good job attempting to hold the BBC to account on this We must all act in a similar way and call it out when it happens Hope (not hate)❤️

I cannot believe this guy is being platformed on the BBC. he's like nick griffin with a posh accent & more syllables, making Racism Great Again for the middle classes. be wary of this chap england. for me is one of the most rabid racists of our time and supporter of genocide in the middle east.

This is an excellent analysis of our education system; but more over: the UKs class system. Whereby the minority with power use that power for the causes that promote their minority, at the expense of the majority. Until this changes, I’m afraid the UK will forever be like it.

This shows what’s possible when people look to change society for the better

Big question is….. will it be: Sir Grant Shapps Sir Michael Green Sir Sebastian Fox or Lady Corrine Stockheath ??? or…. did they all get one?

I have thought exactly this Someone needs to find out the share dealings of the Trump family and close associates (However the way Lex Luthor seems to be v agitated by Tesla SP falls he is not in on it - perhaps he has some debt payments due soon)

Brilliant I wish I was this talented….

Oh! I think he’s much more rattled than he’s let on So…. What’s his exposure on Tesla share price? Does he have significant loans dependent on Tesla SP?

This is powerful…

Well done @ledbydonkeys.org There needs to be many more messages like this Please keep up this excellent work

This thread is v true I left school in 85 and have had a good career, attaining degree equivalent I’ve a huge pension asset; huge house asset * Kids, despite being cleverer don’t seem to have same opportunities * many people of my generation seem to think they are poor when have similar V worrying

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - Well put! Recently finished your book you mention He’s far more of a charlatan than I ever thought possible

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.

Brilliant!
