A tide of huge donations has flooded into politics, as billionaires try to game the system in their favour. But Stella Creasy is proposing a groundbreaking £100,000 cap on political donations that could level the political playing field Tell your MP to back the cap 👇 https://goodlaw.social/c244d0

In the era of Jo Cox, to call himself the most physically attacked politican of moden times is utterly outrageous.

This is the worst writing I've ever seen in my life and I once ran a workshop on artists' statements

What the hell is this? They should have lost by 30.

Wow, that was truly amazing, the Strawberry Full Moon rising over Ely Cathedral this evening. Seen from Little Downham outside of Ely, Cambridgeshire 😍🌝 I didn’t think it was going to shine through the clouds, but it certainly did 🙏🏻🥰 #Fullmoon #strawberrymoon #ElyCathedral #amazing #Wonderful

It’s not often I listen to a political podcast that is so astute, so insightful and so brilliant in its analysis that I feel compelled to share it but you must all listen to this ⬇️⬇️⬇️ @quietriotpod.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

They’re calling it the least comprehensible achievement of all time.

This is incredible, though I am attaching below a post critiquing the framing on TikTok…

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Congrats to Arsenal. The best team this season. Ignore those denigrating the style of play, that’s just sour grapes. Outstanding team spirit, tenacity and desire to win. Worthy champs. 🏆

Robert Peston talks to Stanford Professor Nick Bloom about the cost of Brexit on The Rest is Money: 🚨 "We could have doubled the money on the NHS if we'd not left the European Union." Brexit cost "£2,000 a year per person in Britain." Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yn3AQaNVDg

I’m just so glad about how happy he’ll be and how sad they’ll be tonight.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it

Trump has denied most disaster aid requests from Democratic-led states.

Only Trump could be stupid enough to have formed an alliance with his own enemies.

"Russia is close to completing a phased shipment of drones, medicine and food to Iran, according to western intelligence reports that detail Moscow’s efforts to keep its embattled partner fighting" giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

as a seasoned Trump watcher it's clear to me that his tale about Iran reaching out to make "a deal" to end his war of aggression is mostly if not entirely fabricated and represents a desperate attempt to find an offramp before the economy and his political standing totally tank

But above all else... why did the BBC and BAFTA chose to leave that in? Why would you broadcast that moment? What possible gain could that have except direct a shit-ton of abuse at a disabled person and exacerbate racial trauma for millions of people? What a fucking disgrace.

Really incisive and nuanced thread here regarding disability, John Davidson , Michael B Jordan , Delroy Lindo and the BAFTAs . Please watch Sinners , I Swear , and John’s Not Mad. Thank you @i-am-zagreus.bsky.social

I'm probably going to be taking a social media break over the next few days. The incident at the BAFTAs, and the resulting ableism online has honestly triggered me with feelings I haven't felt in years. I'm autistic, and one of the things I have is intrusive thoughts.

#EEBaftas this weekend! Which can only mean... It's time for my 10 favourite films of the year (in no particular order): Sorry, Baby Train Dreams Hamnet A House of Dynamite The Ballad of Wallis Island Bugonia I Swear Frankenstein One Battle After Another Sentimental Value

With #Baftas (& #Oscars) coming up, the time has come when I post my favourite films of the past year. Like Obama, without the class or taste. (...And the ones I couldn't quite find room for, but which were also terrific: - I'm Still Here - Wicked - No Other Land - Daughters - Black Box Diaries.)

Wow. This could be incredible. BBC News - Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
