11 days since he was told he had to be put to sleep instead little Stormzy is taking very delicate steps.

The bandana might seem small but it’s now part of his identity. Along with his name, his recovery and the love he is getting it is part of having his dignity back ❤️

Who better to complain about wasting money than the MP who claimed £30,000 from taxpayers for renting a flat while her husband owned one just a few minutes away?

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

So we enter November, aka Anubis month. This image from a calendar mosaic from Thysdrus (El-Jem, Tunisia) depicts a festival commemorating the death of Osiris, which was celebrated all over the Roman Empire (Sousse Archaeological Museum, © Ad Meskens / Wikimedia Commons) 🏺 #AncientBluesky

Detail from a mosaic depicting three similarly sized men. The first on the right is dressed as Anubis. He is wearing a dog mask and red robe. He holds a caduceus. His hands seem to be a different colour to his mask, suggesting he is a human and not the god. The two men to his right are wearing white robes, possibly linen. Both of their heads are clean shaven and they wear feathers on their head, possibly a symbol of priestly office. According to Clement of Alexandria, scribes wore feathers. Above them the text reads ‘November’

A terracotta bust of a girl wearing a crescent-shaped pendant, known as a lunula, which was typically worn by females.
Lunula pendants were believed to possess apotropaic qualities, meaning they were intended to ward off evil. The moon was a symbol associated. ..🧵1/2

Much needed clarity (as far as the data allows) from Prof. Ben Brindle on Newswatch this morning.

Ben Brindle @benbrindle.bsky.social · Sep 30

Overall, incarceration and conviction rates are broadly similar for foreign and British nationals. When controlling for age and sex, non-citizens are less likely to be incarcerated than Brits.

A big caveat, though: current population statistics aren't very reliable.

In the 1930s the Daily Mail supported Oswald Mosley and the Nazis and now it supports Farage. 😡 They and he are hateful.

Yes. Thankfully not all men but definitely some. Of all nationalities and races including white.

If only Labour stood up& talked about the real dangers that women face.
Because I'm sorry the problem isn't immigrants or asylum seekers it's men that are responsible for the death of women,the rape,the violent/sexual assault,of women that is the reality!
Farage is besties with one remember!

Two posts neatly summing up the threat towards women by men the far right & media only want to focus on the male perpetrators who are not white. They forget it's men,poor/rich fat/thin are the common denominator in death of women.
They don't care about women at all.

Farage with mysoginist violent accused multiple rapist sex trafficker Andrew Tate who Farage thinks Tate is worth following.

Yes. And apart from anything else Matt Goodwin is just not likeable. Something he shares with Reform party leadership. Their poll rating baffles me.

Compare Matt Goodwin's introduction with Faiza Shaheen's introduction #BBCQT

Chat GPT says: "The framing favors MG because it makes him sound more neutral or credible (academic + media presence) while making FS sound more partisan or controversial"
