I enjoyed this interview with @carolvorders.bsky.social for @thenerve.news.

I find some of the British news presenters and journalists have these interesting working class or lower class backgrounds that give them a persepctive.

If the media and politicians continually discriminate against Muslims,people of colour and women, why are we surprised that some police officers wont be influenced by that? A former PM once likened Muslim women to bank robbers, and we have heard the worst language about migrants since Enoch Powell.

"Would you say that this is entirely grassroots?"

Man putting up flags in Lichfield: "Yes.."

"Do you support Tommy Robinson?"

"Yes, massively"

"So are you affiliated with him?"

"I was with him last night, yes. He gave me these flags"

If you vote Reform you will be voting against women’s equality, for more harassment in the workplace and beyond (as if there isn’t enough)

Remember 41% of the Farage Foot Soldiers arrested in last summer’s disgraceful riots had already been REPORTED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE

What, by giving him a platform at their conference?

Reform is reckless.

Reform UK has distanced itself from a conference speaker who suggested that Covid vaccines were linked to the King's and the Princess of Wales' cancers.

A speaker at the Reform UK conference claimed it was "highly likely" that the jab was linked to the King and Princess of Wales' cancers.

That old chestnut.

Farage says he misspoke that he bought home in Clacton purchased by partner

Mr Farage’s deputy Richard Tice had earlier said the party leader’s tax affairs are ‘irrelevant’ to voters.

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump.

Join us.

A hoard of people march in the streets with protest signs. Even in heels, I am too short to properly show the massive scale of the crowd.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social was a former Commander of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station…. And now a Senator

I think I trust him over the unhinged RFK Jr

Captain Mark Kelly @captmarkkelly.bsky.social · Sep 5

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

The new chapter in the paperback explores what’s happened since the hardback came out — from Trump’s appalling behaviour in the run-up to the US election, to new revelations about Labour (including those Taylor Swift tickets) that show we’ve still got work to do.

Can many people name the chairman of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems or Greens?

How often does an unelected bureaucrat get the 8:10 interview on Radio 4?

Completely disproportionate media coverage of Zia Yusuf saga

Sean | Drowned in Sound @drownedinsound.bsky.social · Jun 8

Why do Reform get a daily BBC News “Breaking” alert?

Zia Yusuf isn’t an elected MP and has had two stories and a tiny by-election got a National (or international?) breaking news alert

No breaking story for Attenborough warning future king of ecocide?!
