If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

PSI Inter-America condemns the US economic blockade of Cuba PSI Inter-America condemns in the strongest possible terms the ongoing criminal, violent, and inhumane economic blockade unilaterally imposed on Cuba by the United States.

The US is attempting to starve Cuba - more horrific, unprovoked violence inflicted unilaterally and illegally on a sovereign country.

Not a word from our Irish politicians who claim they are committed to international law and the UN Charter.

USS valuation methodology changes agreed - with more to do The USS trustee board has recently concluded a review of the methodology to be used in the 2026 valuation and has confirmed that it intends to incorporate a number of UCU proposals.

A (positive!) update on USS pensions:

The values of our trade union movement are justice, equality, and fairness, which we expect to be upheld by our university and those who publicly represent it. It is evident that Senator George J. Mitchell fails to meet these standards, and so all links must be removed." 5/5

However, new information recently released by the US Department of Justice suggests a continued relationship between the two men until at least 2013. 4/5

In response to the news that @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social has cut ties with Senator George J. Mitchell, following new information that suggests he remained in contact with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, we have released the following statement. 1/5

A rehare would be much appreciated!

The Psychology of ‘Enough’ by @rcoop801 medium.com/tiny-house-b...

From page of Sun newspaper about Storm Ingrid that hit the UK with a month's worth of rain and 65 mph winds

Its not 'Storm Ingrid' or 'Storm Goretti'... we need to start naming these storms after the fossil fuel corporations that are causing them ... so 'Storm BP', 'Storm Exxon'....
