And in the Black Sea currently. Seafarers are under attack and this needs to be bigger news everywhere. If your workplace were being blown up I think you would be shouting about it too!! 7 seafarers are currently missing from these vessels. #SAR #seafarersafety

The second paragraph is exactly what Rafael Behr pointed out they were doing (distracting from their real policies) on Politics live a day or so ago

One big down side of reopening the Brexit debate is that there will be more vacuous and misleading articles like this that say since the UK has trade deals then Brexit must be working, that don't notice the EU still has more... labourlist.org/2026/10/reop...

If we were to rejoin, we would not be joining a progressive trading bloc, but one dominated by the hard right.

Took a little while to perfect the art of laying out the notes so that they could all be seen before it was unsealed. Holiday pay and overtime sometimes necessitated two pay packets!

Public libraries for 18 months, then 6 months collecting the rates and getting cash pay packets made up for Council staff!

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Me too and I'm my case I was being paid for by the state not racking up a debt! Work hard, play hard was my motto! Hard to comment on others experience but 10-15 years ago my two worked very hard tbf and both got the rewards they deserved for that hard work

Exactly that. I work on the basis that something original tells me far more than a random repost Many lessons learnt on 🐦 where following was much more of a thing than here

Alan Stedman @alanjstedman.bsky.social · 18h

For me to follow you or follow back I like to see a bit about where you are coming from in your timeline No posts inevitably therefore means, no follow

The 'reporting to' bit makes me a little uneasy. In SpaD trumps the King usually prevails

If that appointee doesn't grasp the nettle on immigration and growth pretty early it will be a missed opportunity And personally I can't see how the UK sustains growth outside the EU and Burnham seems to have at least got that concept moving in the right direction

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Now, about all this bollocks from Jenrick on Britishness/Englishness Feels like racism to me despite all the descriptions that try and say it's not that technically To those it's aimed at it will feel racist in nature

Good description I have a feeling it's going to get better with a few listens I'll crank up the stereo later to get a wider dynamic than the kitchen Sonos pair can manage There are a few tantalising engineer bits going on that I think only the big system will bring out

Just listening too The track Myrtle had a bit of an REM vibe about it, unhurried with solid bass and drums just keeping the song moving I know you are a big REM fan so I might have to duck! 🤭😬

Tbf I think that's political leadership in a way that we haven't seen for sometime - changing the agenda I'm still waiting on a change around immigration to enable our economy to really grow It's still early days, delivery is fundamental and that's going to take time The dial is moving

Truth will out. Reform is just a haven for racists. Many put a front up in public, whilst behind the scenes they use all the racist tropes www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Norway has removed all of its $2tn Investment Fund from Israel linked banks, as it continues its policy of BDS against Israel. Well done Norway.
