Can’t listen to the next hour on LBC. I had decided after some months of switching channel at one o’clock, to give her a listen. Alas, I’ve found the subject material triggering and left, largely unexplored. As trailed the next hour will be very sad.

Back in the US after a long break in the UK, I am suffering from total sticker shock after visiting a couple of DC supermarkets. I have never seen prices like it. Inflation numbers here are going to soar & are not yet telling the full story. The difference between late May & today is staggering.

Sunday morning tv: just tried all thee magazines and had to turn them all off. People with money, congratulating each other on doing ok ok. Just in different flavours: right on, posh and in crowd are the three flavours. Dreadful.

In case we forgot. This will remind us what great friends we once had and inform us of the near future.

For all those terribly self important fools re posting Ratcliffs mug: you’re helping them. The question is: are you just stupid or part of the plan. (My feed is full of your pish).

I've written to the Prime Minister ahead of his first statement later today, with a clear message: Our politics is broken and we can’t fix our country until we fix our politics.

In America our biggest cover up in the #EpsteinFiles

Sad when we lose a nutter who made us all happy and get to keep the ones who don’t. Bye Tim, and thanks.

Friendly reminder that collecting rainwater is illegal but building massive data centers that absolutely obliterate fresh ground water sources, contribute to droughts, and destroy wildlife is "economic progress".

I don’t want taskmaster boys opinion on Rik.

Got to love the use of wide angle lenses in How the West was Won

Land of the Free for all…

Nightmare for a friend of mine in London. Please share.

Exclusive: In a stinging attack on Brexiteers, Lord Heseltine says the British public had been ‘lied’ to in a ‘heinous crime’ #RejoinEU

Whole thread is brilliant

Today’s independent front page Brexit has been a disaster – it’s time the guilty men felt some shame

The Brexit effect in one image. The currency lost 8% of its value and never recovered. Once you understand this everything else is easy to follow.

Cobra meeting for 4 empty ambulances that got burned and no one was injured. Many homes burned with residents having to flee for their lives, hundreds injured, no Cobra meeting. What ridiculous priorities.

Sections of the media are just absolute bullshit. They've always been a problem - but now they're literally lying and making up things that have never been said. The only way to defeat the billionaire media is to organise around them. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Food prices could rise 170% by 2050 due to the climate crisis. People are already struggling to put food on the table while farmers and workers can't make ends meet. We need urgent action. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

💔AT RISK🐶MIKEY Mikey came in w/skin issues &lesions. Volunteer sez: “Still, Mikey stays optimistic. He is loose &wiggly and oh so playful. In fact, it’s so hard to get good video of him b/c he’s a blur of happiness. He ❤️ toys &seems to TREASURE the fish plushy we have to offer him.“ 🙏Repost2find🏡

When you watch this, and you see how both Lammy & Starmer are now doing the 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚 of what they previously spoke so strongly about, you realise why it's so important to vote for MPs & parties that *actually* have principles.

One in three children in the UK are living in poverty. Labour’s answer? Cheaper rollercoasters.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Under a mechanism known as the Dublin Convention, the British government could previously ask fellow EU nations to take people back if they had passed through safe countries en route to the UK -that ended with Brexit & no alternative was agreed making it far more difficult to return any new arrivals

Like @mychal3ts.bsky.social writes, “The library is always here for you." That's why we're committed to being here for our libraries. This year, we're adding $31.7 million in permanent, baseline funding to our city's three library systems so they can better serve New Yorkers.

Mostly listening to this whist cooking.

Ok everybody: back on the Polanski express

Another vainglorious lightweight incoming

Digital ID is not about helping you, it's not about saving money. It's about putting everything behind a door, and in order to use anything you have to give them all your details. Most importantly of all, it's not the Government who wants or even controls it. It's billionaires

Luckily, First Past The Post ensures we have stable government, unlike the European proportional representation.

SPOILER ALERT: The problem is Brexit.

Can anyone think of another Labour leader who has been made the object of public hatred by our media? Surely this is a first. They wouldn’t just do it to all left leaning leaders.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

"Keir Starmer was elected with a five year mandate and, quiet properly, he intends to see it through." NI Secretary Hilary Benn says the Prime Minister is a serious politician for serious times
