Liz Truss banging on about the welfare state is absolute peak irony. Perhaps start by giving up the taxpayer-funded allowance of up to £115,000 a year available to former Prime Ministers — after serving just 49 days in office. And thanks, too, for the mortgage-rate shock following the mini-budget.

Please consider signing this petition. In a healthy democracy, it is essential that constituencies are represented by Members of Parliament chosen by their electorate and standing transparently under their party’s colours.

A recommended read. #PoliticsontheEdge is sharply observed and impressively written, offering a clear-eyed account of how we arrived at the present moment. Credit to @rory-stewart.bsky.social for combining insight, candour, and restraint in equal measure.

You might think honeybees are thriving – after all, we see hives everywhere. But their wild cousins are vanishing. A scientist explains why unmanaged colonies are now classed as endangered across Europe. ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

The gift that keeps on giving! How much longer before the penny drops that Brexit is based on falsehoods? And promoted by charlatans.

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing Musk's proposed $100million donation to Nigel Farage shows we are on the cusp of a real crisis for British democracy But it can be fixed. Here's how, by me democracyforsale.substack.com/p/musks-100m...
democracyforsale.substack.com
Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy
Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences

Since Thatcher handed over a public utility to private owners, creating monopolies in every area, water companies have: - racked up debts of £64bn - paid their shareholders £78bn - paid their managers high salaries - demanded more taxpayers money - poured sh*t into our rivers

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

Being a very British account, I’m having a hard time with the name “Bluesky”. Can we change it to Greysky?

Some people are saying that Bluesky is an "echo chamber" where we're only talking to people who agree with us. What they're missing is that X/Twitter was increasingly screaming into the void – talking to no one. We #RejoinEU supporters were barely visible amid the avalanche of bots and spam.
