How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

After my son(11) described my wife as negative and quite angry, much to her chagrin, I tried to rescue the situation… Me: Have you got anything nice to say about your mum? Son: I love her very much, she helps me when I have nightmares and….she’s very gaslightable. 🙄

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

In the early 2000’s my commute included walking past a record shop, it was dangerous for my bank account. As a result, 25 years later, I’m finding gems in my collection that I’ve always overlooked. Found this one yesterday 🤯.
Rae&Christian - Sleepwalking. Vinyl album cover, close up of a blackboard with chalk writing.

If you happen upon any Mystic Brew vinyl from Fatcity Records, snap it up. It won’t disappoint. They’re compilation albums from the late 90’s onwards. Hiphop, reggae, funk and soul, new(back then) and old. This was their 2nd and introduced me to this gem in ‘98. #vinyl

I don’t want to say the words ‘I told you so’ re when the papers were insisting young ppl were flocking to Reform and I, who work with young ppl, said that didn’t seem correct to me, so I’m just going to leave this here…

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax. Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

If you’re alright with runners wearing trainers and shorts, swimmers wearing trunks and googles, footballers wearing shin pads and studded boots, but you start frothing at the mouth at cyclists wearing Lycra you’re a twat! Admit it, a bike added 5 seconds to your journey and you can’t get over it.

Interrupted some dragonfly coitus this morning. Searched up “What’s the deal with dragonfly mating?” The answer was a rollercoaster of emotions! #nature
2 dragonflies, one green, one blue, doing the conga. Screen grab of a search result “When males of this species want to mate, they try to seize the female's head with a special anal appendage. If she consents, the female folds her long abdomen back toward him and the pair flies together in a heart-shaped wheel formation.
