So a Dulwich-educated ex Stockbroker (like his dad) former MEP, leader of 2 political parties, MP, GB News/LBC/Russia TV host, multimillionaire, bankrolled by even wealthier & posher blokes is the victim of "an *establishment* hit job" Hard to be more "establishment", Nige
The gentle kiss of dawn. I haven't left the house since my surgery on Tuesday. This morning I persuaded my husband who was of course delighted to be woken up at 04.30am to drive me up to a lane nearby Glastonbury Tor 😂. The colour in the sky was just beautiful to see and it was so good for my soul.
Across all taxes, small businesses fail to pay between £30 billion and £48 billion of tax. These figures are massive. Enough to fund significant tax cuts or additional expenditure
I have an elderly cat and worry he would find another adult cat a threat, so am contemplating kittens. I really don’t want to upset him. Am I mad? Please talk me out of it.
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has a massive problem with women, and @carolvorders.bsky.social helped expose exactly how deep it runs. No wonder they’re furious - she made them look small, cowardly and contemptuous.
Sunday Long Read: Carol Vorderman Made Reform Look Small
One by-election exposed a wider pattern: contempt dressed as banter, grievance dressed as common sense, and "protection" offered without rights.

NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal. New #HarborneReceipts investigation from @thenerve.news. 🔗 below 1/
Red heat warning: Remarked to OH “I wouldn’t like to be on the tube today” who said “if you’re on the tube, you got the wrong train” (I’m off to #BGCS2026 In Bristol later today) 🤦🏻♀️ don’t laugh it will only encourage him
Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Our findings provide the first robust national-level evidence, albeit observational, that high HPV vaccination coverage is associated with a substantial reduction in cervical cancer deaths. This is sh...

Night night sweet dreamies Sometimes after you tried your best & you’ve gone above and beyond & others don’t seem to appreciate this, please don’t be disheartened, but be proud that you did it for you not for them, because you are a good person
Brexit: “Their promises of more jobs, more trade, more power for Britain have proved a con. Never have so few done so much damage to so many with so little ability to execute what they lied about. Their scandalously false prospectus has turned to dust. Naturally, they blame everyone but themselves”
The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.
#Bluesky hivemind. I have a Samsung smart tv and want to delete the Samsung tv channel and GBeebies as they appear at the front of the queue and have no interest in either (one activity offends by its presence alone). Any idea as not obvious going through the settings

When does Nigel Farage 'speak for the nation'? When it suits him | Marina Hyde
Compare his response, or lack of, to three murders over the past decade – Jo Cox, Sarah Everard and Henry Nowak, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

As hammered home by the comment by Emily Maitlis on her time on Newsnight
#RCPLondon Bluesky hive mind - my friend submitted all of her information for CESR pathway about 6 months ago and contacted recently to find out no one has even looked at it. Whom can I contact to raise concerns about process on her behalf?
Dear @pennyend.bsky.social My research fellow is getting married next Saturday (6th June) and getting a bit frantic about checking and re-checking the forecasts. Can I put a request in for a nice day near Bristol? 😊 Failing that a medium term forecast?
We had 14 years of Tory government and 5 changes of PM ,wish had known that you could just demand an election .
Nigel Farage says of the NHS, “I do not want it funded through general taxation. It doesn’t work”. It does work. And it’s cheap. The “funding model” isn’t the problem. Using the NHS as a political football, and stripping it for parts to enrich cronies, is.

Anyway here's an idea for @ledbydonkeys.org The queues at Dover are massive. Maybe put a poster of a smiling Nigel Farage looking down on it all for the rest of the summer.
Loving @helenpilcher.bsky.social’s article in @theguardian.com today but can’t find a link to share. Glad I’m not the only one incensed about centrifuge loading 🤣
Broadcasters too reliant on vox pop interviews and failing to challenge politicians, says study
Broadcasters too reliant on vox pop interviews and failing to challenge politicians, says study
Researchers also question whether UK’s impartiality rules allow for proper scrutiny in era of multiparty politics Broadcasters are letting down voters by relying on so-called vox pop interviews and failing to scrutinise political claims during election campaigns, according to researchers. The study by Cardiff University looked at how this year’s national elections in Wales and Scotland, alongside the local elections in England, were reported on UK-wide television news between 2 March and 6 May.
