Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:

World leaders: stand up to Trump, starting *now*
Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

Good afternoon, blueskiers. Popped in for a long overdue catch up and seeing several people I haven't seen for ages. Also, most of the peeps following me are normal brits, which makes a nice change from sexbots etc.

Hope you all have a good evening.

Happy New Year to all my friends on here! Today is a good example of the difference between this and the other place. So much more civilised in here.

Won't be able to sing along to Shaky using the right words again. Brilliant Gemma!
As promised @esherukweku.bsky.social I wrote you a thing
This is Merry Griftmas Everyone in the style of Shakin' Stevens

Snow is falling
Far from Clacton
Nigel’s grifting
Having fun.

It’s the season,
Of spin and distraction,
Merry Griftmas, everyone!

Just found this latest parody by the amazing @gemmagould.bsky.social. Enjoy!
It's Christmas time, and there’s no trains to catch today,
At Christmas time, the strikes have left us in disarray.
Yeah the platform's empty
the timetable is a tease
Thrown my arms up in frustration

Off out on the trains this evening. First stop East Croydon to investigate an alarming poster that has recently appeared.

Why, BBC News? Why show the clip of Starmer suggesting he could be the next James Bond without referencing that it was a response to Badenoch saying she could be working class after a couple of shifts in McDonalds? It just doesn't make sense.

It was close, but the first stage has been passed. Not sure what happens now.
💥 Really pleased that MPs have PASSED the ‘10 Minute Rule’ motion from Sarah Olney MP in favour of Proportional Representation for parliamentary elections and local elections in England

Dear Sainsbury's, please can you make your self checkout screens react to fingers being pressed on them. Sometimes it feels like I'll break the screen when saying pay by card.

Good afternoon you lovely lot! It seems that dispatches have tried doing a hit piece on disabled people. I don't know how many times I have to say this, but benefits are not easy to claim, people don't get given free cars, and disabled people aren't the reason the economy is fucked!

There's a lot of Geordie accents on this South London train.

Good morning all. It's that barmy day where your wallet is under attack like no other. I'm resisting temptation. If an email has black in the title, then it's going in the bin.

Did anyone else notice that Kemi Badenoch failed to associate herself with the prime ministers comments about the floods?

They really don't care, do they?

Shit! Just seen my brother's town on the news. River flooded cutting town in two.

In case you were not there in early days of Twitter…

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS.

It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side.

This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter.

Just block trolls as they hit your feed.
