It's not Ukraine who needs a new president it's the US. We just have to hope that he loses badly in November. Not that he'll accept the fact.

He's already said that Ukraine needs a new president, because Ukraine dares to hit Russia's refineries.

Just watched The Life of Chuck by @stephenking.bsky.social . Profoundly moving. My BFF's brother succumbed to this in spring this year. It is one of the most devastating but underfunded illnesses. Please donate to brain cancer charities if you are able.

Are you holding an event or gathering at the start of 'flu season? Do you know that Covid is rapidly rising? Do you want to keep your attendees safe? Make sure there is excellent ventilation. Encourage the use of FFP3 masks. @greenparty.org.uk

And why are they allowed free pass to roam the streets like this whereas other protesters aren't, and are even jailed.

Witkoff is such a creep. Quite clear too who's side he's on. I guess he's used to crawling though.

I'm sure she does. A shame though that you can't take Cody to visit Mom. But I can understand it could be painful for her.

Apparently that's the story that's been given out when actually he chose to step down. Who knows though...Just one further lurch to the right for the nasty party.

Phew! Should have noted the inverted commas. I'm very glad Cody has found a good home with you. It must be very sad for both Cody and his human mum though.

Trump only likes those who butter him up which is why those who should be allies aren't and those who are the US's enemies he counts as friends.

I wouldn't let Musk in to the country, or treat him as we treat other unpleasant trouble makers like 'Tommy Robinson'. And if only we could do the same to Farage, Jenrick, Tice et al.

What happens next time there is a wildfire or flood? As for cutting out woke ideology he's replaced it with Reform ideology. These people have something missing up top.

But you won't reach everyone that way, especially not the young. They don't bother with the BBC. The directive was requested by the emergency services incidentally.

Video shows Russian drone chasing Ukrainian street vendor in 'human safari' attack
Ukraine said the video - showing a terrified civilian being hounded by a remotely-controlled drone - amounted to a war crime.

I see. I'm surprised though and it is of course very disappointing that the council cares so little about the other businesses up there who will be finding things very tough thanks to Reeves's NI tax slapped on top of everything else. Hoping Healy will reverse or reduce that for SME at least.

Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Thank you. So you were kept in the dark about this? How sneaky of the council.

@greenbenali.bsky.social I've just discovered that a Gail's bakery is opening in Highbury Barn. This risks doing a lot of harm to indie businesses in the area. Why was this allowed?

I think he has to do the best he can for the remainder of this term. I can't see Labour winning a GE in the forseeable future, no matter who is in charge.

He was in an impossible position re Brexit. What is it, around 55% would rather we were in the EU. What about the rest? How would you have suggested he handled that? It'll be interesting to see what Burnham does. Not much different I suspect.

Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
Yes, like running a good government, not one running scared of Reform or doing what they think will attract Reform supporters. Labour made so many mistakes and lost so much support thanks to this.

He also said he wanted a two state solution.

Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
There must be a proper contest - not a Burnham shoe in, - where candidates debate and their ideas are tested. My hunch is that Burnham's supporters would shy away from that - with good reason.
020
Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
And is it going to be a straightforward handover? Ignore Labour's own rules? I couldn't vote for a party that behaved so undemocratically. It seems all still to be about Reform.

Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
I think many of Starmer's problems come from hanging on to people he shouldn't - top of which is his chancellor. I hope whoever takes over shows better judgement. But I'd like to know what Burnham's policies are and has he a mandate for them? Labour needs to be very careful here.

Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
Wait a minute! Burnham hasn't got the top job yet. It mustn't be a shoe-in.

Sue Reid @suereidauthor.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
Sorry, I haven't been on Bluesky for a time. Events have certainly moved on since then. If there's a Burnham coronation I think Labour will regret it, but whoever takes over is going to have a very hard time convincing the electorate to vote for them again.

Me too. He should stay in Manchester. He's tried to become leader twice and lost. That should tell us something.
