Today it’s 50 years since I first presented Playschool wearing my blue beads and silver heart. I adore bringing joy into the lives of my Playschool Babies during the 12 years I was on the programme. ❤️

27 September 1936 | A Czech Jewish girl, Blanka Schwarzkopf, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Theresienstadt Ghetto on 9 October 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
Very obvious why law enforcement/security services might not want to broadcast details about the suspects while accomplices etc might still be at large
One of the things that links Farage and Trumpism is the complete disregard for the seriousness of government, and restraint Vs making everything content.
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 8h agoThe police have asked everyone to please not speculate about the RAF Fairford incident, so naturally I'm going to waste no time in making up total bollocks to suit my own agenda.
On this day in 1894, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 16 Oct 1941 she was deported to the Łódź Ghetto with her husband. She perished on the 6 Nov 1943 after her husband who died on the 16 Jul 1942. Her name was Friederika Brumlíková
The online far right conspiracy theorists’ obsession with the Fabians - stoked massively by GB News, Talk TV et al - is one of the weirdest, most disturbing things in British politics right now (and that’s saying something) Like a mini British QAnon Must be awful working for Fabians rn
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 11h agoThis balaclava-clad mob were reading out a weird & imtimidating message about Fabians, Zionists and others outside Bluecoat before dispersing
"Countries have spent most of the year burning their oil and gas reserves, and they are now running low. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t open, and for a time the east-west pipeline across Saudi Arabia wasn’t either. Suddenly the prospect of oil and gas shortages in the dead of winter looks all too real."
Trump talked down the oil crisis all summer. Winter will expose him

For every £25 we spend on income support on young people who are out of work, we spend just £1 on employment support to get them into work. We’ve got the balance all wrong, says Alan Milburn at our Labour Party Conference fringe event

Yes, I too am very curious about the reaction - was anyone there?
Makalicha 🇬🇧 🇳🇬@iajulufo.bsky.social · 8h agoHonestly this speech just got me angry. I am surprised this is the thinking of a Labour Minister. Now I regret not attending that conference. I need to find out what other Fabians thought.
82% of Britons say protecting nature is important to them, new polling by @moreincommonuk.bsky.social shows “You don’t often get that degree of consensus” on any issue, says @luketryl.bsky.social - speaking at an event at Labour Party Conference with the heads of the big nature NGOs
You can’t reduce the benefits bill by arbitrarily naming a cash figure you’d cut like £50bn. To do it in a sustainable way you need to give more opportunities to young people so they’re in work. But reforming the system for young people will require painful choices, says Alan Milburn.
FB is an absolute bin fire about this, as you’d expect with people like Grimes, Goodwin and Lowe weighing in about declaring a national emergency and closing the borders. Plus the usual bots saying “why aren’t the MSM reporting this?”
Farage (et al) literally panting for Fairford to be linked to asylum seekers and, as usual, the ludicrous demand for immediate information with totally irresponsible implication that the absence of such information is suspect.
Even worse, it's now being claimed that it's the hallmark of the superiority of "our race" to make such speculations. Beyond belief.
