Old gimmer, happy in my own little world feeding the birds, growing wildflowers and just enjoying nature, oh, and a huge Kate Bush fan 🙂 No DMs, thanks and DEFINITELY no climate change deniers!

If true that's me finished with the Labour Party. I can't believe, after being a member for 48 years, that I have, not only,left the party but will no longer even vote for them. This is such a sad day.

From what I’ve gathered from people I’ve asked: wishful thinking it isn’t as bad as is; wishful thinking it won’t get worse; wishful thinking it’ll all just go away; can’t conceive of the necessity to rise up en masse to stand up against fascism coz (insert reasons here). Blinders are easier 🤦‍♀️

How much longer can US democracy survive? The POTUS has alligned his country with Vladimir Putin, many of his supporters back the move and attack Zelensky.The nation could be just a few weeks away from being an authoritarian state allied with the worlds dictatorships.I fear for the future of the US

Can't wait to see the ITV programme, on Sunday, exposing Reform UK Ltd. Given it's almost 2 hours long there should be some pretty explosive stuff in there.

The extreme weather events we are seeing all around the world, this week are just a foretaste of things to come if we don't get VERY serious about combating climate change. Time is fast running out, maybe even too fast, so we have to massively up our game, before it's too late!

Thousands upon thousands of French students have laid siege to Paris simply over education funding. Meanwhile, the US is on the brink of authoritarianism and the streets remain quiet. Utterly bizarre.

Absolutely. Been saying it over and over again, but the americans are still sleepwalking adjusting their tv remote at the very best. Just tried to make an american understand what woulderupt in a european country if one of our governments did this.

So Donald Trump has banned international observers from the midterms. As we warned, over a year ago, he is going to end US democracy if the American people don't stop him.

For those Americans still not sure whether to vote in the midterms. Don't sit this one out, even if your candidate isn't perfect, because this could be your last chance to save your democracy! This is it, no excuses, you either vote now or it's over! TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK FROM TRUMP!!!!!

Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

The more I see, and hear, from the Labour Party, and Andy Burnham in particular, the more I realise I made the right decision to finally cancel my membership after almost 50 years.

The Premier League have released a statement on the Man City investigation. Basically they are guilty as fuck with around £830 MILLION pumped into the club nefariously. There is no chance that the sanctions will just be a fine and a transfer ban.

Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister: "In 2015, we had a deal, we remained committed to that deal, it was the US that withdrew with zero justification"

Now that Manchester City have been found guilty,on 114 charges, the Premier League has a huge problem. Anything less than a draconian punishment will totally destroy the leagues credibility and that's terrible news for the club.The PL can survive without City,not sure City can survive without the PL

I feel so sorry for the lifelong Man City fans, they were conned too. But, all those claiming that, without their club, the Premier League will not survive need to get their heads out of their arses. No one club is bigger than the league so take your punishment and stop being so bloody arrogant!

Today is a good, no, a great, day for football . Manchester City found guilty on 114 out of 115 charges. We just have to hope that the sanctions imposed on them are so severe that no other club will ever be tempted to do the same stuff. A fine just won't be enough, multiple relegations are needed!

Registering to vote is step one in voting. Double check your registration and have your buddies double check theirs too. Then make a plan to vote! Early voting is currently going on in some areas. Getting out to vote is exercising your constitutional power! #momsky#sheshed

Governor Newsom is sounding the alarm: take this election seriously. If President Trump challenges the results, the courts, Congress and the American people must do their part. November 3 is bigger than one party. The result must stand. Democracy depends on it.Every vote counts. Vote! #Midterms2026

The illiberal right-winger Lionel Shriver writing about "foreigners" and the UK. Shriver is a foreigner living in Portugal pissing on the UK; before that she was a US foreigner living in the UK. It is never abt them they think as they pour scorn on the rest of us.

I bet everyone is shocked at this, NOT! The wide mouthed frog will do anything he can to protect his paymasters, whether they are crypto crooks or the Russian Pesident.

Once again the Donald Trump regime has chosen to ignore, not only The First Amendment but, a court ruling by continuing the ban on various US news broadcasters. Another step towards a totalitarian society where the leader decides what is legal or not.

Exxon knew this was coming in the 1970s but hid their own scientific report for 3 decades. Now that the end times are approaching they tell the truth but carry on just as before 😡😡

Prof Bill McGuire@profbillmcguire.bsky.social

Exxon is now expecting a 2.5 - 3C rise by 2050 But says f*ck you - we are just going to keep right on sucking up as much gas and oil as we can Because even though we know what's coming, we really don't give a sh*t www.reuters.com/business/ene...

So, not content with stealing the credit for all the achievements of the Starmer administration, Burnham is now claiming the future plans of that administration as his own too! Quelle surprise 😂

If you want to understand just how fucked up the US is the discussion, yesterday, between Kash Patel and Senators,about whether someone with a conviction for bestiality should be able to join the FBI or not tells you absolutely everything you need to know.

“The bride said ‘what’s so wrong with accepting a gracious bribe, I mean gift, from Putin, I mean a friend of family’”. Donald Trump Jr is ‘frigging loaded’ so why was part of his wedding paid for by a Russian Oligarch?

Dr. King’s movement did not win voting rights through polite reminders. People marched into terror at Selma, and the country finally had to face the cost of denying Black Americans a vote. Protect what they fought for: check your registration. #GetReadyToVote

Burnham has a problem as he is not a tactical politician, the removal of many of Starmer's Cabinet but keeping the worst members, Streeting, Mahmood and Nandy shows his self-interest to the detriment of what is best, and leaving Jones free to promote himself was a key mistake.
