No indictment for Cassidy Hutchinson. American citizens, doing their duty on a grand jury, rejected the injustice of the Trump regime.

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.
“The perception that promises can subsequently be revisited by a political establishment removed from the realities of working communities has left lasting scars”, writes Labour MP @melanieonnmp.bsky.social 🗣️ EU free movement debate risks undermining voter trust www.politics.co.uk/2026/10/mela...

I somewhat try to do this but it's so hard. Outrage insists on being shared. Have to consciously fight the urge.
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Fascinating reminder of the degree to which we are all incredibly complex hybrids, and how genetic change is a complex business, nothing at all like designing a machine. phys.org/news/2026-10...

Independent journalist @marisakabas.bsky.social shares what she learned about “Tommy” — the heckler featured in Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s viral video — and his ties to the GOP, Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and prominent Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht.

UK military procurement has been broken for a long time. Handing it over to Palantir is not the answer. That will only entrench the profiteering, but with ‘catchy’ slogans like ‘the need for speed’
🔴 REVEALED: Palantir led closed-door review of how MoD buys software The review was presented to defence minister Luke Pollard by Palantir UK boss Louis Mosley in Feb and has mostly been implemented None of this was made public New investigation🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-p...

As far as I'm aware the Supreme Court hasn't granted immunity from prosecution for President's son-in-laws. As yet. Extraordinary story if it's correct. Iran-Contra +++ and maybe more besides. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Funny isn't it how the "we're protecting our streets" people always start menacing anyone who questions them
Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️

most people don't know that dumb ends in a B
Major media made a big deal about Biden taking a shorter set of stairs into Air Force One. But they treat a far more serious health issue – Trump's mental unfitness – as a minor curiosity. His deranged behavior endangers us. The media need to get serious about it. My Stop the Presses newsletter.
removing this has to be the way forward, it's actually just an abusive subscription charge
Finally looks like we may be getting somewhere... @andyburnham at #PMQs just now "“I can tell the House today that I have asked the chancellor and the energy secretary to look at whether we can remove standing charges from gas bills and to report back to this House at the earliest opportunity.”
