My heart goes out to Australia after the awful terrorist attack at the beautiful Bondi Beach. To Jewish Australians and all in Australia, my thoughts are with you 😢.
At least nine people have been killed in a shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney

Interesting information. Good to see that #naturism is a positive experience across the age groups and that younger adults see the benefits too. My body image issues and learning to love the skin I am in was my turning point to explore naturism.

Agreed. The United Kingdom needs a new customs union with the European Union. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
A customs union with the EU is the single biggest step the government could take to grow our economy, put money back into people's pockets and generate billions for our public services.

The Prime Minister must now listen to Parliament and the public.

A horrible thought. Why do some people want to turn back time and destroy hard fought for human rights and equality?
Terrifying.

"More and more, influential voices in the Maga movement and the far-right Republican party are calling to strip women of the franchise."

"The opposition to women’s suffrage has entered the mainstream as the Republican party has radicalized."

🏆 Big news for naturism!

British Naturism magazine is shortlisted for 2 BSME awards — a first in 61 years!
👏 Hats off to Andrew Welch (68 issues), Mark Bass (iconic cover photo), Jen Gaughan, and the entire BN team for making naturism visible, celebrated, and respected.

This is an excellent, level-headed, informative piece. I'd kill for a government which could discuss the issue with the same sense of objectivity and calm.

Ed Davey is spot on, that an investigation into Russian interference in U.K. Politics & the collusion of those within Reform U.K. needs to be investigated.

Excellent news. Well done @libdems.org.uk. The right and the far right must not succeed.
The Conservatives have failed to win a single council seat in the South East since May.

Lib Dems, however, are going strong. 💪

It’s a sign of how insane the news cycle is these days that this historic failure of government policy got just one day of news coverage this week.

Not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s astonishing how quickly the agenda moves on these days.
BREAKING: UK’s response to Covid was “too little too late”. Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry.

Boris Johnson presided over a “toxic, sexist, chaotic culture” in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

Boris Johnson took 4 days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system

Thousands died.

Spent time walking his dog, riding motorcycle, hosting lunches/dinners.

He once said Covid was ‘nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’.

Will he be held to account,?
