No real idea. It's definitely a view of Bristol with the Cabot Tower and houses in Hotwells down below, but you probably know that already.

What they want you to believe: Wildfires = Canada mismanagement. What the data says: 335 million hectares burned globally in 2025. 3,955 fires in Canada in 2026 alone, 1,092,095 hectares in non-EU Europe, Spain, France, USA, South Africa, Australia. This is climate, not a country.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Whereas, in the US, ~500,000 incarcerated people work prison jobs — often for pennies. CoreCivic alone made $3B in 2022 off prison labor, which Stanford estimates is 80–100% cheaper because wages are negligible.

#laurak should have pointed out to Jenrick where the tax raises have come rather than to "all of us" Tax rises hit: Employers, Higher earners, Wealthy, Property owners – surcharge on homes over £2m, Private school families – 20% VAT Business owners – CGT relief reduced, EOT relief cut All of us?

Social media ban in UK for under 16s has caused some to wonder what they're going to do instead. Reading books sounded like an unpopular suggestion this morning. Free guitars and practice places for the youff might finally result in decent new bands coming out of the UK again. 🤓🤡

Estimates based on age‑specific voting patterns and UK life‑expectancy suggest that roughly 2.5–3 million Leave voters have already died since 2016 — sadly a significant number of them never lived to see the benefits of Brexit. I suppose no one ever will.

I noticed the number of interruptions Think I would've just immediately stopped talking and apologised for interrupting LK with an answer to her previous q. They don't have to provide context when really Yes, No, Don't Know would suffice. Add the occasional, "is that what's you think, Laura?"

Yeah. Didn't win a single league game between his injuries. Now look what's happened since he got injured again.

TBH, I looked at Spurs' results. Only one win in the league since Solanke came back in January and that was only after he got injured again. Clutching at straws here and being positive, but his injury could be a good omen🤔 #coys

Meanwhile, Trump's ignoring Israel's razing parts of Lebanon to the ground in a repeat of the destruction of Gaza that killed over 80,000 people. So far there are already around 2,000 dead in Lebanon caused by the #IDF's "precision" attacks. What would #Epstein say about this?

Free buses like they have in Luxemburg and Estonia would be a better option. They'd have to also #nationalize rail to make train travel more attractive. Lower fuel consumption has negative consequences for tax revenue though.

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed over 72,000 Palestinians. Now Palestinians in Gaza again face enforced hunger after Israel closed all crossings into Gaza, with humanitarian groups warning supplies will last only a few days. End the siege. Let food in.

Trump's appalling in every way. He'll soon face dwindling power as all Presidents do after two years. The American electorate ignored his obvious fascist tendencies and the whole world is paying. Would the inevitable more liberal/progressive President change your view on this?

Paddy O'Connell is a much better interviewer than most of the others on BBC & Sky. He gave plenty of room for long answers with few interruptions. It gave ZP a platform to explain ideas that they rarely want to explore. Kuenssberg, for example, is constantly after a gotcha moment.

Portland's drug decriminalization policy has reduced arrests, boosted harm reduction efforts and shifted the focus to public health. It is a model for treating addiction as a medical issue rather than a criminal one. Meanwhile, back in Westminster plenty of traces of Cocaine found. #DrugTest MPs

As a father of three who teaches Palestinian refugees and whose 89yo father had to turn down the heating in winter ..., seeing a Labour PM chase the votes of the right legitimises the disdain I have for him. Why would right-wingers vote for him when they already have Farage & Badenoch?

Unfortunately, not a lot would happen. People are too poor, passive and powerless to change anything much. The most you can hope for it seems is seeing posts on socialmedia like these. The power to tax the rich and smash the oligarchs lies in the hands of the oligarchs.

There's something I don't understand here. My children have UK passports and German ID cards. They use the former to enter the UK and the latter at EU passport control. Why would anyone with dual nationality pay £589 for a "certificate of entitlement" when they can just get a passport for £94.50?
