How irritating to wake up and hear #nigelfarage bloviating on #today Utter nonsense on #brexit et al- dangerous nonsense…

Good news from #serbia and #brazil Just #israel to go …

This horse waited his whole life for this moment. In 1997, a horse jumped over a fence and joined the peloton of the of the Critérium International, eventually passing it, leaving the race only 20 km from the finish line. Original post

Good to hear @andyburnham.bsky.social floating free movement with the #EU again. Bit by bit we need to destroy #brexit and start trading properly with Europe.

Another report from the bleeding heart of UK GP from @helensalisbury.bsky.social Key thing, of course, is that there are not enough of us in #primarycare or #secondarycare and we've known that for years. Thanks to #brexit it's much worse than it needs to be. www.bmj.com/content/395/...

On #bbclaurak I’m afraid #honestbob is emetic So that might be useful on occasion?

@libdemdaisy.bsky.social talking utter sense on #bbclaurak about relationships with #EU It’s the economy, stupid !

#marklittlewood talking BS on climate change on #bbcaq Where do they get these people?

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Interesting this, from @pollytoynbee.bsky.social Fragmentation of @conservatives.bsky.social is no less than they deserve, but there are complications

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #appeasment is a dirty word- and appropriately applied here

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... Quaint? Archaic ? Medieval? Certainly undemocratic….

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Standard @reformuk.bsky.social bs…

www.theguardian.com/business/202... Some of us predicted #brexit economic damage 10y ago

#heathrow boss waffling on #today about #heathrowexpansion. We shouldn’t be hoodwinked by this: it’s a bad idea

trickle down economics trickle down economic trickle down economi trickle down econom trickle down econo trickle down econ trickle down eco trickle down ec trickle down e trickle down trickle dow trickle do trickle d trickle trickl trick

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @rafaelbehr.bsky.social sets the error of #brexit in wider geopolitical contexts. Sometimes truths need stating this boldly…

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Apposite warnings from @janemartinson.bsky.social on screeching right wing papers here. Beware ….

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Spot on from @theguardian.com today #simonjenkins describes the crass stupidity of #heathrowexpansion

10yr old STANLEY KUBRICK — already with a camera in his hand — poses for a photo taken by his father at a local airfield.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Why ?

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... In today’s @theguardian.com : ‘consider how far American governance and presidential values have slid in the moral murk in the past two years alone’

@zackpolanski.bsky.social doing himself no favours on #today I’m afraid

@jamescleverly.bsky.social wrapping himself in knots on #wato , trying to be #mayoroflondon and avoid talking about #brexit or #heathrowexpansion Pathetic

Within first few mins, #kemibadenoch falling apart on #today

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @pollytoynbee.bsky.social on @conservatives.bsky.social : ‘If Badenoch is not for turning, to survive it will need to turn her out’ She’s right, and some at #cpc26 know it

Embarrassing performance by #andrewgriffiths at #cpc2026 He had to wait for applause for his underwhelming suggestions @conservatives.bsky.social need to have the guts to apologise…

Very depressing listening to #andrewgriffiths on #today just now The usual @conservatives.bsky.social rubbish emanating from him, with no hint of apology for #truss, #brexit and all their other crimes.

This year's Diploma in the Philosophy of Medicine at the London Apothecaries Society still has places - much mind expanding on offer See apothecaries.shorthandstories.com/ethics-philo...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... God save us Another feast of junk proposals from @conservatives.bsky.social Is there no limit to their irrelevance or incompetence?

@sarahbool.bsky.social not doing well on #bbcaq I’m afraid. Woolly speaking and too attached to poor @conservatives.bsky.social policy

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Good account from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social here on the disaster of a #heathrowexpansion

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... @reformuk.bsky.social - ‘they don’t like it up ‘em, sir !’

Utterly laughable performance from #suellabraverman on #bbcqt last night : - 'it's wasn't me, guv' on being a @conservatives.bsky.social minister - you have to be several generations attached to England to immigrate Both ludicrous propositions: she takes us for fools [again]

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... ‘Nearly 10 years ago, Nigel Farage told LBC he would leave the country if Brexit were not a stunning success…’ as @mrjohncrace.bsky.social reminds us in @theguardian.com today Oi! #nigelfarage ! Time to redeem …..

Outrageous claims from #kemibadenoch trying to shift blame for #prisonscrisis away from incompetent @conservatives.bsky.social It’s on her and her bunch of failed colleagues

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... On @reformuk.bsky.social leader comments: ‘…. he will have an awful lot to say about the horrific murder of Henry Nowak, but nothing or next to about those of Jo Cox or Sarah Everard’ Great way of describing inconsistency, from @theguardian.com today

Interesting that #PM didn’t support @heathrow.com 3rd runaway on #bbclaurak This #heathrowexpansion needs killing right now…

#chrisphilp suddenly appears on #bbclaurak and the nation rises: to make tea, go to the loo, feed the cat etc Anything but listen to this ghastly @conservatives.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Good piece from @labourlewis.bsky.social here on the #integritygap as coined. How on earth can an ex Labour Dep Leader justify himself?

Ghastly interview with #helenwhateley on #today She boasts of cutting red tape - but ignores vast bureaucracy of #brexit exporting @conservatives.bsky.social have not redeemed their sins yet…

I’ve posted this painting before, but it's still a mystery ~ no-one really knows what’s going on, but everyone seems to have a firm view about it! So, is she waving to the spectral child outside, or warning her, or maybe something else? ~ Jacobus Vrel's ‘Woman at a Window’ (1650)

@zannymb.economist.com talking utter sense on #bbclaurak Maybe we need a technocrat Chancellor in the UK ?

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social absolutely right to stay out of piffling UK Royal row.. As on #bbclaurak just now

Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to ban private equity funds from owning or controlling medical practices. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know about the shady private equity industry and how it operates.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Naah It’s a bad idea…period As I was reminded at 4.30am this morning by an illegal flight into @heathrow.com
