Autopartage: The scheme that helps you get by in France without owning a car
Across both urban and rural France, a rapidly growing network of vehicle hire schemes for locals is making car ownership optional, as journalist Katy Wright explains.

“Only a deliberately uninformed electorate… could believe that Brexit, former prime minister Boris Johnson or Farage could be the solution to their problems” And there you have it. Why we’re here and why we’ll stay stuck here until we learn to act in our best interests, rather than theirs.
The two most plausible explanations for this most dangerous move are: 1) Trump plans to sell this extremely valuable information to foreign states and make billions and billions. 2)The US is run by an agent of a foreign country that desperately needs this information.
TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...
What change, Mr £5Mill? An even more ruinous Brexit cos you’ve binned the reset and huffed out of the ECHR? More Farage riots on our streets? Mass deportations and ICE-style thug gangs? Removing our rights and protections in a race to the bottom, so your crypto mates can profit? Absolutely not.

Badenoch has no grace. And only arrogance where empathy and social intelligence should be. She is what the Tories have now become. Unelectable. Deeply unpleasant, unprincipled and really very dim.
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 3mo agoStarmer leaps to the defence of Bridget Phillipson after Badenoch calls her a "spiteful class warrior". "The Education Secretary grew up in poverty... It's an incredible story of social mobility and success... I am so proud... It drives every single priority and value that she has."

Trump will release the video evidence of vandals cutting a 350 ft gash in the Reflecting Pool lining when he releases the Epstein files, and proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and evidence that the ICE agents who killed Americans acted in self defense, and
And not a squeak from Farage, Lowe, Robinson or Tice. Nothing. Literally nothing.
JWexTheSpa@jwsidders.bsky.social · 4mo agoA shirtless white man, in the street with a knife in his hand, having attacked and wounded five people, allegedly shouting anti-Muslim slogans is the sixth story on the BBC UK news page. There is absolutely no doubt at all this would be the lead story if attacker and intended victims were reversed.
International stability and the security of their own countries requires Trump and Putin, and their inner circles, to recognise that the 21st century world isn't the great power playground they thought it was. But neither seems personally or politically capable of doing that.
All Trump had to do when he started his term was JDFU. Like, he literally just could have played golf for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, and literally done NOTHING and we would be in a 1000% better situation in every conceivable dimension
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoEnten: "With independents, Trump is 55 points underwater. My goodness gracious! This was a political disaster. No wonder he wants to move on from it. There was no president ever before that had any poll in which he was 50 point underwater inflation. The Iran war absolutely drove Trump to new lows."
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.
Trump: conspiracy claim Welker: do you have evidence to support your claim? Trump: CLAIM Welker: evidence? Trump: ad hominem attack Welker: evidence? Trump: either/or fallacy as ad hominem attack Trump: more ad hominem attacks, storms off Trump: grumble, mumble, snort, stomp
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoWOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads
I fell foul of a website which appeared to be a US government site when I applied for my ESTA yesterday. The visa, which should cost $44 has cost me $179 and there is nothing I can do about it! I hate it when this happens 😔

Corruption is the guiding principle of the administration and has been from day 1. What is happening now is nothing new, it’s par for the course. It is what the USA is now. Face it squarely.
I am against Jews being attacked but not any more so than I am against Muslims being attacked, or immigrants, or Italians, Germans, French etc Just because the government is in bed with Israel doesn't mean that we should be too.
49% of Americans are struggling to buy food even as Trump has made himself $4 billion richer as their president and cut taxes for the wealthiest 1%
Senator Tammy Baldwin@baldwin.senate.gov · 5mo agoHalf of Americans are struggling to afford food, yet this administration wants to continue spending billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on a war that no one asked for.
The state pension (£184 per week), for many, simply allows them to pay their bills to essentially continue to live their lives without resorting to financial aid, starving or freezing. Is this something that needs to be reviewed as per the article? www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...
