YES. “Negotiate UK-EU customs union to tear down ‘damaging’ Brexit barriers, Davey urges Starmer”

“Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact-checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and profit” President Joe Biden

Plenty of Blue Sky at the North Coast today.

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him. For love of god, England, work it out… (Private Eye)

I fear there is deep truth here.

We were on the Siegfried Line today

We did loads this year… We kicked out the Tories, we called out the ruinous idiocy of Brexit, we exposed the liars and the grifters, we’ve caused an almighty tantrum in the rightwing press and the Tory MPs that survived are losing their shit in opposition… Let’s keep going in 2025. Happy New Year!

Sky TV question. Would any of you fine folk know why I can’t seem to use the ‘Manage your Sky TV’ function on the MySky app? I want to downgrade some stuff that I don’t use. TIA

@manutdfc.bsky.social onwards and upwards….😬

With so much kindness, intelligence and love around, how have we, as a society, totally messed up? War, famine, misinformation, science denial, etc….! Make it make sense.

🚨 NEW: The Assembly has voted in favour of the Democratic Consent Resolution motion, keeping NI's post-Brexit trade rules for another four years. For (48): Sinn Fein, Alliance, SDLP, PBP Against (36): DUP, UUP, TUV

"I can't see a model for the future of humanity that I like coming out of China, India or The States. But I can see it in Europe."

This country needs to pull its finger out on many fronts.

Words To Live By Number 152

Angela Rayner will press ahead with plans to prioritise for housebuilding an area of the green belt bigger than Surrey, insisting there is no alternative to large-scale development in the countryside around big cities ⬇️

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but… www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/o...

That is excruciatingly dense. All of it. And yet still so cocky. Anyone who thinks these arsehats could govern a country must be beyond dim.

The power of stupid is stronger than it should be.

In 2022, Brexit cost us £1M a day. So, Mark Francois and Ian Dullard Smith decrying universal phone chargers as a loss of sovereignty is beyond pathetic. Your idiotic ideology has failed, lads. And we’re all very bored of it. Time to make things work again. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a sky this morning 🔥🔥

It’s a beautiful autumn morning up here on the North Coast. Have a great day 💚🍂🍂☀️☀️

Lowry inspired cover for the match programme.

Coffee with a view…. Lost and Found Cafe, Portstewart 💚☕️🍂

Seeing videos of parts of Belfast flooded, due to Storm Bert. This city's crumbling waste water infrastructure leaves it at serious risk. Meanwhile the Stormont Executive shows little urgency to fund it and that it is growing into a public health crisis.

I just had a wee quick look over at that other place…. It’s all gone a bit bonkers….!

Spot on

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know. Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

Coffee with a view (from the car) yesterday. Have a lovely week everyone 🍁🍂💚☀️

Hello everyone. What’s the story over here then? 😊
