It's been an absolute honour to visit Clacton fewer times than I've visited America, hold zero surgeries and do fuck all for the town.
The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

11:15am yesterday, our village. Are these the first migrants from Ceuta to reach Dorset? A number of young lads in Cub Scout uniforms leapt out of a minibus & invaded Jill’s shop. They had no idea what Apple Cobbler was and taunted Simple Sally with their woggles. Deport. Now.
Have to say… when Jenrick thought he needed to be a one-nation Tory to make it in Cameron’s govt, he went for it. Then a firm remainer. Then a Brexit evangelist to catch Johnson’s eye. And now full fash to creep up to his new far right gang. The needy little twat really wants to belong, doesn’t he…

Very good interview with Mehdi Hassan on Media Confidential this week "The BBC made FARAGE" - example: 38 appearances on Question Time Thats done the UK very great harm Why did they do this? Are we looking at money buys influence again? Farage has the funds to enable this Who in the BBC?
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
I've finally uploaded 24 new downloadable phone backgrounds onto my site! 17 are of my aerial embroidery, the others are non-aerial landscapes :) Each is £2.50 and is a small way to support my art outside of purchasing originals or prints 🌱 victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #smallbusiness
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Erin identifies criminals like it’s a hobby or an instinct. Right now it’s the data service and the fact that she’s on the case means it’s probably more important than many of us realize. 😎

“[This] raises questions about how much Trump knew about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes. Reiter told FBI agents that Trump revealed [in 2006] that Maxwell was Epstein’s ‘operative,’ and that Trump said ‘she is evil and to focus on her.’” @jkbjournalist.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jkbj...
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 6mo agoTrump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief. Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.
Voters want Palantir out of the NHS, and ministers may have a good excuse to make that happen in the next 12 months By @willem-moore.bsky.social

2/3 We need to reduce our reliance on unaccountable tech giants like Palantir and ensure the NHS remains in control of its own future.
1/3 The dangers of the NHS's £330m contract with Palantir are well known. A subscription-based contract that leaves the NHS without meaningful ownership. Lock-in to a single supplier that risks future price gouging. Critical health infrastructure dependent on a shady spy-tech company.
People say they love their countries and their peoples. Then why are we letting a load of corrupt shitfuckwankercunts destroy it all? Cant love it that much.

🧵 What is REALLY happening at the Ceuta border in Spain? It is not just a migration crisis—it is a textbook example of hybrid warfare, where human movement is weaponized for geopolitical leverage to destabilise Europe. Here is a breakdown of the players 👇
Why is Ceuta a migration flashpoint and how were so many people able to cross from Morocco?
An estimated 50,000 people attempted the journey to the Spanish territory in chaotic and dangerous scenes that resulted in dozens of deaths

@GottaLaff@gottalaff.bsky.social · 2d agoABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
The far right is using the border chaos in Ceuta to manufacture a continent-wide crisis narrative. Actors immediately deploy divisive language to make voters angry as fast as possible, regardless of the facts. It is a familiar, dangerous playbook designed to stoke fear and undermine democracy.

Ceuta did not threaten Europe. Europe’s response did.
A deadly border emergency was contained within 48 hours. European leaders recast it as an invasion, weakened the Union, and handed Europe’s enemies the dystopian story they wanted.
