A Monarch butterfly that was fitted with a tiny radio tracker near Toronto 🇨🇦 has now made it all the way to the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico!

Well that's a start.

Massie introduces articles of impeachment against Hegseth on the House floor and details the charges

When Tory and reform politicians say we can’t afford welfare …… Why can every other nation???

Theo Paphitis, "Clearly Trump has some form of dementia because he's acting like a madman" "He's a sex offender. He's a convicted felon" "He's a protector of the pedophile ring of Jeffrey Epstein" "How the hell did this man get voted in as the President of the strongest nation in the world"

Rupert Lowe is not a “world leader”🙄 He is the sole MP of a party polling 6th in UK, in the single digits Yet he earns up to £1,476 per HOUR from X He earns more from X posts than his MP salary! This graph tells you everything you need to know about how utterly 🦇 💩 Musk’s platform is

Surely it’s time for the standards committee to report on Nigel Farage’s undeclared £5 million donation.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social just listened to @quietriotpod.bsky.social and then this appeared in my BlueSky feed - absolutely shocking case of victim silencing here.

In 2014, a woman accused Russell Brand of assault. A court then banned her from ever talking about it, even to the police. She had no lawyer; there was no proper trial. It's hard to believe so here, for the first time, is a copy of the injunction: buff.ly/QDJxlSW

98% of new cars in Norway are battery electric. Of all cars on the road, it's 35.5%. Cars only leave the road when they're scrapped, and in Norway the average scrapped car was almost 19 years old.

The photo that sums up why the country is in such a mess 👊👊

The world’s richest man bought Twitter specifically to encourage racism and racial abuse and then, when asked to comply with the law, designs a reporting ‘system’ which amounts to a big, smirking ‘fuck off’ to the UK regulator and to UK law. X is a stain. Shut it down. #shutdownX

My colleague Avaes Mohammad set out how Ofcom risk being played by X, who continue to protect the perpetrators of racist hate crimes, enabling them to carry on. www.britishfuture.org/race-hate-on...

She has fought against some evil swine and won, we owe her a big vote of thanks.

Thanks to @quietriotpod.bsky.social I can’t get this vision of Miller and Trump out of my head. Another great Sunday podcast.

Left: Nigel Farage lays a wreath at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Day Right: Peter Ettedgui, "Farage repeatedly coming up to me and knowing that I am Jewish saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas them' which was frequently followed by a hissing sound of escaping gas"

Nigel Farage laying a wreath at the Cenotaph is quite possibly the most revolting thing I’ve seen today.

for Nigel Farage, who sang Hitler Youth songs in his childhood and addressed a far-right rally in 2017, anywhere near tv on Remembrance Sunday is so insulting

This is shocking. "The injunction was supposed to prevent harassment [of Brand], but it went well beyond that. It prohibits Ms Berki from telling anyone what she says happened to her – not journalists, not friends, not family, and not even the police." taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/11/07/r...

Russell Brand’s secret injunction: the order that silenced his accuser

The never-published High Court order Russell Brand won in 2015: a lifelong gag on his accuser, Sylvie Berki, that bars her even from speaking to the police.

Breaking: China’s CO2 emissions fell 3.1% in Q3 of 2026, the largest drop since 2022 Covid lockdowns. High oil prices and EVs pushed down oil demand, clean energy growth displaced coal power, steel and cement emissions fell, and growth in coal-to-chemicals industry continued to slow.

When Farage posts stuff like this it's worth remembering that in 1981 a teacher urged Farage's headmaster not to make him a school prefect because he'd marched through a cadet camp singing Hitler Youth songs.

Because most of BlueSky is pretty smart, I miss out on these wonderful interactions from Twitter. Truly my favorite genre.

The point is not that Stephen Miller will have any more power or influence as formal Chief of Staff; it's that his elevation sends an unambiguous message to Democrats that conciliation ain't happening—sparing them from what otherwise could've devolved into a messy split over how to approach 2027–29.
