Well said, Wes! 👏 👏 👏

Not a peep from the Putin Puppet Farage today over his MP’s divisive and racist rhetoric. Not fit to govern.

So now it's poppies on lampposts. It's wrong, and it's dangerous. If one blows off on to a windscreen and causes an accident...

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽

Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...

And poor Chris Mason....he'll be lying down in a darkened room now. Well done, Plaid.

Make no mistake, the Caerffili by-election is embarrassing for Reform after all the noise they’d made, doing a victory lap on the media rounds all week and even some of their supporters claiming victory.

65% of Caerffili voters told them they’re not wanted.

The far right has a ceiling at 1 in 3.

No charges over Trump-Epstein projection on to Windsor Castle

Enjoyed 'Bardot' on Channel 4 Walter Presents. Such a flawed woman in her youth, though her natural beauty shone through. Julia de Nunez plays her beautifully.

Yes. Students have always liked being 'spoon-fed'... but now it seems to be official policy in some establishments.

Yep. A proposal may appear on your new desk at some point.

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

This week's episode is another *sleep safe* treat.

Episode 283 - Night trees of Boggle Hole (51 mins)

Up the beach from Robin Hood's Bay to the trees behind the Youth Hostel. A perfect location. No road noise, no planes.

Listen on podbean > bit.ly/LenBog

view from the beach looking inland to Boggle Hole youth hostel and the trees behind it. the tide is out so lots of rocks are exposed on the sand. a steep causeway leads down onto the beach.

Thank you so much for this, especially the photo. I used to lead A Level Geog field courses based at Boggle Hole. The photo has brought back lovely memories.

And this, class, is why aiming at agricultural self-sufficiency rather than spreading risk across different countries through international trade is a *really stupid idea*.

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...🔁

We celebrated FREE SPEECH in the village yesterday.
We called each other bastards & fuckers.
Everyone said Jill in the village shop was a bitch & should be jailed.
I called Dean our paperboy a lying wanker and Bunty said Simple Sally should be burnt for being a slut.
