The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Ha, the replies in the QT are some classic old school remind you of the good old Soc med days
cRiMeR!!
Well, it's time for some honest to god Bluesky lore.

A year ago, the site was still invite only, and one morning I posted something random and didn't think much about it beyond my own amusement.

This is the story about the #ChristianSkydivingBaby and how it completely took over @bsky.app (1/x)
Given the very specific circumstances, I'd either check to see if I'm on drugs or if the baby is on drugs and if the latter find out where I could get some because clearly those are some gooooood drugs.

The reason they come for comedians early is that a comic license is surprisingly easy to revoke. You just have to stop laughing.

Comedy is about safety, spreading that feeling of safety, intimacy, shared values, group strength.

They don’t want you to feel safe. They want you to feel scared.

My ward, my local park, my new fantastic councillor Marina who won with a 20% swing 😊
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marina is a bold, brilliant socialist. She's going to be a wonderful representative for her community.

She's someone who's absolutely determined to get everything done.

we revealed in FT two years ago that Mandelson stayed at Epstein's luxury house in Manhattan while the financier was in jail for soliciting a minor

he was deputy prime minister at the time

always seemed weird that broadcasters didn't really pick this up at the time

Links between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein detailed in JPMorgan report
Emails indicate then UK business secretary stayed at New York house while disgraced financier was in prison

@skynewsrss.bsky.social your headline about Angela Rayner “admits she should have paid more” is language suggesting she knew she should have rather than the complex reality with her disabled child that was subsequently described so annoying and misleading

Both this and the link of reposts is really interesting- Joel’s thread explains to me why I gave up on The Studio - couldn’t get it. Maybe will retry next time I get Apple TV
The reason this is important is because viewers / readers are looking for clues re: wants & needs in your opening beats, so they can predict behaviour. Failing to give data on money and stability will make them guess, and if their guess is wrong they can’t read the story properly, may feel betrayed.
One of the reasons I love No Hard Feelings is that Jennifer Lawrence’s character worries about money, not having a car, fighting to keep her house. Shockingly rare in mainstream movies

Pasta companies, wtf, why do you continue to use bags that rip the moment i go near them? Why are they so difficult to open yet so prone to tearing once opened? Why don't you use normal bags? Everyone else has mastered bags, why not you?

You & Chupa Chups really need to sort your packaging out

There are so many news anchors quizzing 16yos about whether they know enough and have been taught enough about politics to vote and for goodness sake have they met anyone over 18?!! They are not exactly informed!

If you still have a Twitter account, today is a great day to delete it.

Every view, click, and post there only helps hateful anti-semitic fascism grow.

I worked in Paddington at time and often think of 7/7 -a terrorist attack that killed 52 innocent people-that we rightly remember 20 years on. How many were affected, all the heroes who helped. How diff we think of this, compared to same happening every day in Gaza. It’s hard to get head around

Here’s some photos from last week’s Neurodiversity & DJing panel at Brighton Music Conference which I chaired.

Panellists Ifeoluwa, Kate Wildblood, Jon Carter & Danny Lewis gave many authentic, revealing, fascinating & funny insights into what its like being a neurodivergent DJ
