I've seen some people getting outraged over the banning of classic coca cola refills.

Wonder what those same people would say if they realised the law change was made under The Food (Promotion and Placement) (England) Regulations 2021.

4 years ago, when we had Tory PM Johnson & Health Sec Javid.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Travelling next weekend, also concerned about this Brexit Benefit.

Thanks to Cambridge Analytica mind games & other malign forces, the helpful handmaidens Farage Cameron & especially Johnson have really screwed things up.

My elderly French father-in-law is unwell and recently moved into a care home so we try to go over every few weeks to visit. Next trip is in 2 weeks but we are watching how the new border checks go.
Thanks Brexit for helping to keeping families apart.

The fact that Israel was apparently asleep at the wheel & ’surprised’ by the heinous attack on October 7th suggests that there is far more to this than the narrative would have us believe. The attack was underestimated
Netanyahu funded Hamas, it’s in his interest to keep on fighting to avoid prison.

Eddy St Clair @eddystcclair.bsky.social · 15h

It won’t last! We’ve seen this before. Once the Jewish hostages are released, Israel will resume the genocide, this time with the help of US troops. Israel will blame Hamas and will wipe out Gaza for good to prevent any establishment of a Palestinian State, which has always been their goal.

‘Has become’

Reform Party Ltd has never been anything more than a Russian/USA far right backed vehicle for Farage to make shedloads more money, to spread hatred, racism and fascism & to divide, disrupt - and to horrify & shock decent folk.

The more people who wake up to this truth, the better.

Tony Blair met Jeffrey Epstein while prime minister

The ex-PM confirms he met Epstein in 2002, six years before the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

No surprise the BBC is digging up a non-story to smear Blair. The point is, so what?. But, BBC News is run by the guy who use to be the boss of GB News.

This is a bit of a stretch, dragging Tony Blair into this. Using this logic, anyone who has met Epstein or anyone else convicted of any offence for even 5 mins before they were convicted has to be complicit.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.
