That blue hit different in the winter light—crisp and almost electric against those white geometric lines. I loved how the building's stepped facade created this rhythm leading up into that dramatic sky, with the clouds adding just enough texture.

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

Trumpian levels of dishonesty & distraction by Streeting.
Trying to divert attention away from the fact that, as Health Secretary, he gave our health data to dodgy US spy firm Palentir…
…which was represented by *Peter Mandelson’s* lobbying company.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I am absolutely infuriated that the best damned account in this place has been run off due to the ridiculously piss-poor moderation here.
I deleted my previous posts about my harasser to protect the sanctuary, but I will not be using this bluesky account anymore if someone can threaten me here, via email, and on the phone without consequences. Bye for now.
