Retired and loving it. Ex-Educator. Bexley , Aberystwyth, Llandrindod, Builth, Swansea. Rubbish profile picture. One less (fewer) brick in the wall. Keep on keeping on. 🏴. Anti-Tory doesn't mean pro-Labour (I block any begging followers or messages)
The RICH are not Americans or Saudi, or European. They are only RICH. Wherever they are, at any given moment, IS RICHland. Complete with THEIR own laws, and THEIR reality (delusion). They literally superceed any country or culture that was there before they arrived, even for a moment. NEVER forget.
The Trump administration is trying to gut one of the strongest laws protecting tribal sacred sites, burial grounds, and ancestral lands. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has worked since 1966. Now a handpicked Council voted to rewrite it..in one week. Here's what at stake.👇
The party whose leader sang Hitler Youth song at Jews as a teenager is more politically engaged to this than the Tories.
Alex Partridge@alexpartridge87.bsky.social · 5h agoA Reform UK spokesperson says it “beggars belief that Kemi Badenoch has hired a former neo-Nazi”. Says it’s “alarming news for the Jewish community in Britain”
If English isn't a doctor's first language then they are required by the GMC to have an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) of at least 7.5/10 in order to be registered. NMC and HCPC require 7/10, so once again they're creating an problem that doesn't even exist
We are seeing the devastating impact of climate change before our very eyes. We need to act now. "Droughts that were once a century now happen every year, and the impact on wildlife, industrial output and culture itself is catastrophic."

Badenoch flailing around now on #r4today trying to defend this idiocy. Babbling incoherent nonsense. Truly woeful that this deeply unpleasant and thoroughly mediocre person is now Tory leader. And a better journalist than Justin Webb would have made that very clear. (Article from iPaper)
No matter how much he may try to be a chameleon, the one consistent thing about Jenrick is that he is a twat.
11:15am yesterday, our village. Are these the first migrants from Ceuta to reach Dorset? A number of young lads in Cub Scout uniforms leapt out of a minibus & invaded Jill’s shop. They had no idea what Apple Cobbler was and taunted Simple Sally with their woggles. Deport. Now.
Hmmmm… Will RichardTice now be calling a by-election in his constituency so he can fight against a bin? 🤔
60K migrants who entered Spain coming our way? Bailiffs seizing your dead parents’ old car in their garage to pay an imaginary death tax? Fighting for democracy against a bin? Reform MPs’statements in the past week. Reform UK are officially the NEW Monster Raving Loony Party! 😉
Folding like a cheap umbrella? The US has removed Iran-related sanctions, according to the US Treasury's website, Reuters reports.
🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump has reportedly rejected Zelensky’s request for 300 additional Patriot interceptors. The decision underscores growing concerns in Washington over dwindling U.S. missile stockpiles as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise.
Unbelievable hypocrisy from Badenoch - she attacked Starmer for putting Louise Haigh in cabinet (conditional discharge and £100 fine) but defends Bonehill-Paine (five year prison sentence). Obviously the reliably hopeless Justin Webb failed to make this point to her on the Today programme…

The UK has existed as a state since 1801. The current borders of the UK have been in place since 1922. Do Reform UK politicians NOT know the basics of UK history?

And speaking of damp squibs created by evil narcissists, motivated only by racism and greed.. The response to Reform UK's desperate "out-Lowe-ing Lowe distraction from dodgy finances" announcement on Monday was everything you'd expect. Naval officer John Foreman's tweet is next-level delicious. 😁👏⬇️
Seems that even solidly right wing commentators have finally realised that climate change will impact on their lives and their children's future. No amount of money will protect them from the chaos if we carry on acting slowly. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...
