We need to talk about dying The assisted dying debate has been filled with horror stories of miserable ends. But does this reflect the reality of ordinary death?

Mick Lynch went on Question Time once and destroyed the Conservatives, he was never invited on again.

Nigel Farage has been on 38 times, but has never impressed anybody.

Covid corruption commissioner gets to work Tom Hayhoe's first task will be reviewing the £8.7bn of pandemic PPE that had to be written off.

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe

Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption..

And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail

Let's see.

Wow.. learnt the hard way over the other side… don’t criticise Reform…

NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?

This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown

Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it?

Screenshot from the Independent Nigel Farage suggests MOs should debate rolling back abortion limit. Reform UK leader says it would be ‘worthy’ discussion and parliament should get more time ‘to debate things people talk about at home’.

No, Nigel Farage.
We emphatically do not talk about this at home.
You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate.
Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.

Shroedingers Labour “Not moving fast enough to change things” …. “Caused irreparable damage in 4 months…” 🙄

Most farmland isn’t bought by farmers

Enjoyed working on this deep dive into the financial realities of farming with @ben-spencer.bsky.social

It’s not.. 🤣🤣

Agreed.. you know they aren’t genuine when they start to DM you.. as if Tom Jones has the time to talk to me 🤣🤣🤣

Jill in the village shop was surprised this morning by a tatty & smelly old vagrant begging as she unlocked her premises. She noticed the stains on his trousers & gummy dirt on his lips.
‘Got any lubricants Missus?’ he asked plaintively.
Here’s a photo of him:
Any idea who he is?🥺

Very sore losers. Only like democracy and sovereignty when it suits.. it’s all gone very childish

About 3k per constituency by the look of it..

Thought they were all for sovereignty?

Well it’s been celebrated as some “win” over on the other side and amplified a lot of times by Musk. Sadly people will believe it.. he has form when it comes to engagement farming and pays heavily for it to stay relevant

It’s getting to a point that people on X have realised there is a lot of money to make in spreading hate with no real debate or challenge. Full on confirmation bias with benefits

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland.

The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Is Gladiator 2 worth seeing in theaters? I feel like it was better live.

For all Labours faults, they are getting a hammering from social media and Elon is really ramping it up..whatever is the problem, people seem happy for foreign interference in UK policy when it suits and it’s so hypocritical

These people are utterly deluded.. only want democracy to work when it suits them 🙄

Wow. @bsky.app now has 21,826,255 users. It should easily hit 22 million by tomorrow! At this rate it could easily hit 50 million by Christmas. This platform absolutely rocks

Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.

Excellent news

Nigel Farage's Admiration for Putin and 'Concern' for Russian Oligarchs Exposes His Fake Patriotism The truth is Farage has only shown loyalty to one country in recent years, and it isn't Britain.

As Nigel Farage tells Ukraine to give up all hopes of resisting Russia's illegal invasion, here's a reminder of where his real loyalties lie
