I am british born and bred, can trace my british ancestry back for over 1000 years but I welcome migrants and have nothing but contempt for far right flag shagging fascists. The same fascism that my grandfather's generation fought a war to defeat.

Why oh why are the refs not stamping out this awful #playfoul football Argentina use. Its legal but its exactly why two yellow = red was introduced.
Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
As an academic, I have decided to pre-empt AI taking my job, so I am going to take ITS job! I am going to start hallucinating, lying to my students, and drinking 700,000 litres of water
Voters know: Nigel Farage is a privately educated ex-city trader who has been in politics for more than 25 years. He is the establishment. Great work by @bjennings90.bsky.social
Ive just had to leave a nice place on a riverbank. The gent on his speakerphone shouting swearing and gesticulating drove everyone off the sun patio. There were young families kids he was totally oblivious. Electric Zombie phone.

Two episodes in the bag! I’m working with old friends on a brand new project - bringing British landscape archaeology to Channel 4… #Grounded #DreamTeam
Not to take any undeserved credit, but Andy Burnham’s economic agenda sounds a lot like a book I once wrote

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.
Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · last mo.Hard not to regard this as a classic example of a pre-emptive campaign by certain sectors, along with their media sympathisers, to discourage a new prime minister from appointing someone who might damage their interests in the long and short term. And it will almost certainly work.
On the hottest day of the year, we're envious of the Kitchen in the Wild guests who, last month, kayaked around Eilean Shona, before being served smoky goat soup and bread, cooked in one of our stockpots by Valentine Warner and served up by Angela Hartnett. Oh for a sea breeze!
