Odin's Dad 🇪🇺💙💚🗿

Ted, do you want me to tell everyone they're talking a load of bullion about you and Georgie Gimpson? 🐢💨

Having spent the day, much like every other day at present, listening to journalists and broadcasters restate unsubstantiated claims, and elide the fact of difference with a trigger for racist violence, here are simple rules even Chris Mason might grasp. ⬇️

🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧 UK Ambassador calls out illegal settlements. Strongly. Take note. Fed up of all the ‘Starmer jew harmer crap’ Genug iz genug! Nebbishes.

The Press knew. They laughed. The Tories knew. They didn’t care. All I see now is hypocrisy.

A new analysis of 95 posts by BBC political editor Chris Mason suggests the issue may not be accuracy – but framing. No single headline is inaccurate. Impartiality rules appear unbroken. But repeated talk of “predicament”, “backlash” & “U-turn” frames a misleading story of permanent crisis..

Ah man, this is good fun.

This is fun

Now more details in the Epstein files reveal Bannon as part of a successful plot to topple Theresa May with Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg, here’s an article from the archive about Johnson and Bannon’s collaboration bylinetimes.com/2023/04/24/b...

The same people who tell us “oh, dear boy, you don’t understand” when reassuring us about Palantir embedding itself in the British state were almost exactly the same people who told us Russian interference, Cambridge Analytica and phone hacking were just ‘conspiracy theories’

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 Funny how the media is baying for the blood of one man, but nods through this b’stard!

Just putting this out there as someone who adopted a dog from the Dog's Trust, but the "Buddy" Christmas and is perfect.

Dripping tap. Two hours to identify the correct cylinder valve part, £10 each. 48 hours waiting on 24 HR delivery from Royal Mail, 10 minutes to replace.

Took the boy to the beach today, I think he was enjoying it

The Tabloid Witch Hunt of Rayner: This isn’t just about tax. It’s about women being hounded and investigated for years as men who routinely do worse are ignored… I have the receipts to prove it and if the “crimes” aren’t there? Well, they just invent them. youtu.be/bVd2fReoS8Y

I wonder if a Labour govt minister will register the legitimate concerns of the counter protesters who object to the racist intimidation of immigrants and asylum seekers?

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from. It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

The House of Lords is the only legislative chamber in the world into which you can all but openly buy a place. It's a feudal anachronism and it's long overdue for abolition.

The case for abolition of the House of Lords in a nutshell: Michelle Mone, Shaun Bailey, Ben Houchen and Evgeny Lebedev. And Charlotte Owen.

Israel is deliberately starving Palestinian children to death. It cannot be sugar coated. It is a fact - an engineered famine - and it’s abhorrent. #Genocide #Gaza

Ed Davey being quite excellent on the BBC this morning.

'A Tower of strength' St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor at sunrise.

This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*. And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

This is absolutely brilliant satire that succinctly explains how the Daily Mail radicalises people.

Rediscovering the simple pleasure of home baked bread

Another uneducated MAGA idiot

I kind of think this should be bigger news Cc @skynews @bbcnews @itvnews @lbc @BBCNewsnight @BBCBreakfast @bbc5live

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

@stevebraysodem.bsky.social found not guilty. #BrexitBrokeBritain www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Well, well, well. 🧐 www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Exciting news (for me) thanks to @listifications.app someone called @fresh-newlook.bsky.social has just blocked me and I have no recall of any interaction with them. Do they hate dogs? Is analytical chemistry not their thing? What could it be🤔🤣🤣

I don't recall the police arresting anyone planning the various farmer/tractor disruptions in London.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but this very alarming story has been 100% ignored by the big press outlets in the UK. Surely this sets a very unfortunate precedent, I grew up srrounded by Quakers, they're not exactly known for acts of violence, literally the opposite. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

On this afternoon's dog walk, saw my first butterfly of the season. I think it's a comma with ragged wings but Odin was too keen to keep snuffling so I had to keep walking.
