The tragic awfulness of this government is that it has extended a factional war against the left of the Labour Party into a war against almost all the good things we might have expected of it. It cannot respond to the crisis it faces, because its hatred of the Labour left is definitional.
An episode for the ages. I enjoyed Alan's rant about the Toilet Bowl starting at about 12 mins immensely.
@degruyterbrill.bsky.social Hi. Am trying to buy an e-book on brill.com from UK. Won't accept my correct postcode. Can you help?
I can't imagine how disabled people who rely on this support will be feeling watching the news today. I can promise Greens will fight these cruel cuts tooth & nail and I hope every principled MP across the house will do so too. #DisabilityBenefits
Austerity with a red rosette is not the “change” people voted for.
A photo of the interior of the Tate Modern Turbine Hall festooned with textile 'skins' full of holes hanging from the roof
The Tate Turbine Hall installation 'Open Wound' by Mire Lee is quite viscerally disturbing.
But how do they get to work or the shops by playing tennis? I don't get it.
Slippery leaves have damaged wheels on quite a few of the Piccadilly Line trains I gather, which is why so many trains are out of action
@octopus.energy Hello. I'm on Octopus Tracker. What are my options for switching please? I can't see the option to change tariff in the app.
I remember that one. I walked past and it seemed to be mostly anti-vaxx and 15-minute city conspiracy nutjobs and people bussed in from Oxford.
I live in one of them. It's been such a positive change.
This is fantastic news! 👏🏻
Yep, with @londonbrassband.bsky.social. Your dad's juggling was v. Impressive. I thought he might drop a club on my head at one stage but didn't need to worry.
That's me playing trombone (in purple). 😃
I'm starting to think that Haringey Council must actually have a faction within it of people who hate cycling. They just published these proposals for improving the Turnpike Lane area - no cycling safety improvements whatsoever! cc @haringeycyclists.bsky.social

Important context here:
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
Agricunturals (needs some work, I admit)
Bravo to Richard Flanagan who wins Baillie Gifford prize but rejects £50,000 over sponsor’s fossil fuel ties. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...
If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
That doesn't sound ideal 🤣
Yeah. And they're my padded extra warm cycling gloves 😭
What a day to leave my best gloves on the bus. ❄️❄️ #brrrr
👋🏻. Do you always choose your beer to match your hair?
