So you've got a Canadian "journalist" covering the trial of an Irish citizen, who lives in Spain and whose costs are being covered by a South African born migrant living in the United States.

Break out the flags lads....

No joy on the registry hack. I was going to download Rufus and do it that way but I can't download any Windows 11 isos at the moment. I guess they are getting hammered.

I wouldn't vote for him based on that tie alone...

It does seem that they need another candidate though.

I'm enjoying this series. I didn't realise that Marx was such a waffler apart from anything else!

Already on the case! Thanks.

There's a subtext? I voted for Lucy Powell as she's an Andy Burnham fan; good to have her onside if Starmer is ousted. Also I was unimpressed with Bridget Phillipson as she's done nothing to bring in air quality improvements in schools (to mitigate COVID) despite being very vocal about it in oppn.

I didn't know about this. Thanks.

We looked at it but there are so many horror stories and it's tricky to find a reputable supplier. Old single skinned Victorian terrace here.

I'm sure Reform can fix it.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

Photo of sticky note that says, "Why are you so scared of frogs? Grow a pair."

If you have Disney Plus, Dopesick is an excellent dramatisation about the company behind the Oxy addiction crisis in the US.

Excellent, every bit counts.

The biggest change you can make is to go car free and stop flying.

I've done both.

It's easy, really easy.

For those who can't give up the car, try cutting out those very short journeys. The added bonus from walking is that you'll feel fitter too.

Now to reduce my meat intake....
