I created this photo using recent research so it relaxes your brain when you pause to look at the details. As I'm sometimes too unwell to post here (not good mental health due to PMDD & recovering from a breakdownA) it would help so much if you could maybe RT my photo. Many thanks 🌿

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy.... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — Dr. Gustave Gilbert, U.S. Military Chief Psychologist in the Nuremberg Trials, Nuremberg Diary

I don't know how you can profess a God who "so loved the world that he gave his only son", or a Christ who "has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows", who wept for Jerusalem, and taught his disciples to "love one another, as I have loved you", and conclude that "empathy" is a bad thing.

The harsh reality of that ‘take back control’ Brexit myth… “Whether it’s… the cost of living, restarting industry, or keeping us secure, we lack the weight to act alone. In today’s world, we can’t take back control while being an outsider in Europe.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I imagine it’s becoming increasingly clear to the world that the USA elected a Russian asset.

"Those few bad apples that have crept in will be gone, will be long gone, and we will never have any of their type back in our organisation” said Farage. Instead, they just plant vast orchards of bad apples and harvest them again and again.

No wonder Badenoch and Farage are shitting bricks at the suggestion that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Their whole business model relies on Brexit and the racist anti- immigration bomb that it detonated. Their next bright idea - to leave the ECHR - would delight Putin too.

Man who enobled a KGB agent's son... despite SIS raising concerns... says what?

Sir Ken McCallum head of MI5 - Russia remains "aggressor number one" and is fighting a hybrid war against the UK that is not being taken seriously enough. This "war" did not start last week. It's been going on for a decade+ and those denying it should be challenged. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🔴 NEW Reform’s ‘Independent’ Donations Inquiry Was Led By The Lawyer Who Defended Donald Trump Over Russian Collusion By @nafeez.bsky.social Read below. ↓

For those wondering why I have not condemned Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian deisel, it's just that I think it's a great idea because I too am a Russian stooge and a traitor.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Gee, that makes so much sense that it sounds crazy in this fucked-up alternate reality we're suffering through. 🙄

So, finally, a PM who admits there **was** Russian interference in the Brexit Referendum — after all the evidence amassed by myself @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @lukeharding1968.bsky.social Sergei Cristo, J Patrick et al — dismissed as conspiracy for ten long years Truth is the daughter of Time

No shit. Way to tell that crazy Twatzi Laura Looney off, Bill.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

With each additional news report following yesterday's shocking announcement, it will become even clearer which side of the war in Europe America is now on

Again. Impeach him.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

Free speech news

Ben Goldsborough MP asked Norfolk Reform leader David Bick to withdraw the whip from Karl Catchpole. More than three months later, Bick replied that doing so would be “unwarranted and a waste of my time and that of my colleagues”.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

I'm sorry, "people who work harder"? This will be news to every nurse, teacher, nursery worker, delivery driver, care worker, refuse collector, cleaner, shop assistant and many millions of others who work their backsides off for far less than 100 grand a year. What an utterly appalling thing to say.

Hope your day was better than Darwin’s, on this day 165 years ago

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

If a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin had paid for Hunter Biden’s lavish island wedding while his dad was the PRESIDENT, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 from now until the midterms and beyond.

Nigel Farage is posting this morning “More small boats in the Channel this morning. They will keep coming. Open Borders Burnham won’t stop them” Lets remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - the BREXIT he championed youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

I wrote about Ben Delo back in July... was obvious something like this was about to happen. Also, further evidence that Starmer was completely asleep. Donations reform should have been a priority as soon as Labour got in www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reform UK Donations Overwhelmingly Have Overseas or Tax-Haven Ties bylinetimes.com/2026/09/10/r...

Dear press. Seriously? Have you not learned a thing? Peace with Ukraine on day one, no new wars, lower prices etc. etc. And you still report the claims in the headlines with costing notes in the small print as though this is all normal? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I heard one of the balaclava clad protesters speaking on the radio. Attempting to justify his actions on religious grounds he claimed that he thought that Jesus would have approved as He fought for the oppressed. He claimed that, “as a white male in the UK”, he considered himself to be oppressed.

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie

Farage, a man who was doing Cameo videos for £70 a pop as late as March 2026, apparently turned up to a meeting to discuss a half-million donation and "wasn't really listening". What utter contempt he has for the very democracy, country, and people that he claims to love.

Robert Jenrick would have laughed about this, exactly as he laughed about female protestors being beaten up at Reform's Conference, if it wasn't his boss.

Imagine Corbyn or Polanski grinning as a protestor got assaulted, and their deputy sarcastically saying "boo hoo". The RW media would run with it for years
