You know what, I think ethnic minorities should be allowed to have a spoon without lynch mobs
Chris Boyd@paperghost.bsky.social · yesterdaythe "jaw dropping list" includes such incredible items as 1 x toilet roll 1 x tea towel 1 x dinner fork 1 x mug 1 x spoon 1 x frying pan 2 x hand towels 1 x duvet (s) really feels like lots of people from top to bottom should just be in a prison cell at this point
Let me make this claw. My wife Bunty & I wept when we heard the suffering Richard Tice is going through. The Poor love. I think we now realise why the beloved MP for Dubai is now taking his frustrations out on Deliveroo drivers. Let’s continue to pray for this persecuted man. 🙏🏻
‘Listening’ to ‘legitimate concerns’ is what led us to violent riots in Thetford. Embracing flag-shagging is what inspires lynch mobs. These are the worst of people, and we should have said so clearly and loudly from the start. We should be saying it now.

So this guy finds the time to post this absolute tosh. And apparently we’re all meant to clutch our pearls and storm the gates of the welfare state. Nobody is getting PIP because they had a difficult Tuesday on the toilet. Just rage-bait for people allergic to context. 👇🙄
It is. By foreign money given to Reform to try and kill democracy
Shit! Me and little Nigel don't want the plebs finding out how filthy rich we are - or how hard we try to hide it! Best go on Fash TV and come over all hurt. Proper show of righteous indignation. That should do it! 👍
I've read this list three or four times and I really can't find the thing I'm supposed to be outraged by. One cereal bowl?! Stainless steel cutlery?! Two pillows?! Where are we putting them, the Ritz?!
Looking for somewhere to cool off? Think twice before jumping into open water. The summer holidays should be about making memories, not emergencies. Take care around rivers, docks and lakes, and follow water safety advice from the London Fire Brigade.

Like all entitled pricks who think the rules don't apply to them, our first reaction to the slightest bit of legitimate scrutiny is to play the victim and threaten to take legal action.

A ‘Keminaissance’ for the Tories is wishful thinking – Badenoch’s Reform-lite summer will only end one way | Jonathan Freedland
Hiring a convicted antisemite as an adviser; rabble rousing at a time of violent unrest. She is still in a race to the bottom and making too many mistakes, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

This is the chilling face of the new political elite. In an unprecedented & truly sinister assault on the freedom of our press, multi-millionaire Brexit tycoon Arron Banks has arrogantly admitted to hiring private detectives to target a senior Sunday Times journalist

Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore. When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.
This burning summer is the proof: the voices of climate denial aren’t just delusional, they’re deadly | Sadiq Khan
Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Arron Banks is helping us send a nice clear message - if you scrutinise the dodgy finances of Reform, you will be sued or put under surveillance. Perfectly normal behaviour from people who want to govern a democracy.
Well said! The world is increasingly more dangerous- a closer relationship with the EU helps to keep Britain safe.
It's the Silly Season once more - but given the bizarre state of British politics how can anyone tell anymore? From Squirrels on Crack, to cat food stealing Grim Reapers, to the Clacton by-election - I sort the wheat from the chaff for @noosphere.app 1/2 www.noosphere.app/squirrels-on...

The continued political silence over the spread of these anti-migrant, anti-refugee pogroms in the UK is a disgrace. This one has been going on for three nights in a row now and the Home Secretary and Prime Minister haven't said a single word about it www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Journalists attacked with rocks for reporting on racist rioters waging a pogrom whilst calling for refugees to "have their f**king heads chopped off". These are the "protesters" with "legitimate concerns" we keep on hearing so much about www.edp24.co.uk/news/2644352...
I've been attacked as a journalist twice in a year... I'm just trying to do my job
I was attacked for a second time in a year while covering the Thetford riots, here's what happened and why I'm going back.

Politics in the UK at the moment is largely just irrelevant parties side eyeing each other and racing to the bottom. The headline could read "Kemi Badenoch has announced shooting every second puppy" and I'm not sure anyone would even be shocked.

Social care has defeated government after government. Andy Burnham is trying something different: asking the opposition to help fix it. Sue Wilson MBE asks if one of Westminster's most intractable problems could become the test case for a different kind of politics. @suewilson91.bsky.social

Can Andy Burnham's call for cross-party cooperation on social care usher in a new kind of politics?
