Hello to new followers 👋 I have two settings: nature photos from around County Antrim and rants about crap mental health services.

You’re very welcome to stay around for either/ both.
Thanks William

Imagine you found the end of a rainbow and it was discount furniture you’d be raging

Absolutely adored it

This was Mijas Pueblo - the village in the hills rather than the coastal Mijas

Probably a slower, more traditional place vs the coastal areas nearby but it’s stunning

Shared a few photos recently

Love that matra

I often hear ‘how do I say X?’ and the answer is usually ‘you just did‘

Didn’t see the blocked post but among some friends we have a theory that X lonely lad goes alt-right, engagement on his social accounts plummets, gets more lonely so they have to go trolling to trigger any kind of response

Either that or they’re just an absolute arse

Brief NI politics interlude: an impending UUP meltdown is as predictable as Tim Collins’ polling station tantrum

Also, a lot of commentators are asleep at the wheel in terms of the UUP’s relationship with women in politics

Is your internet broken?!

It was a new one on me, the most amazing atmosphere! The excitement and joy of it was just lovely

Great work by @lukejbutterly.bsky.social here…
New: At least 71% of those who had Child Benefit suspended were in fact legitimate beneficiaries who had not emigrated.

That figure may rise, as 23% of cases remain open. Only 5% been found to be fraudulent so far.

Senior HMRC officials were questioned by MPs about the scandal this morning

Thank you for your work Luke 🙏 These systems are hard enough for people to navigate, and badly needed, with errors being made people can ill afford to withstand

A great idea, I’ll take another look with fresh eyes

Appreciate it

This is all absolutely ‘nail on the head’, thanks so much for taking the time.

From memory I was using a wee 20mm prime or my phone in not great light either way, and I have a habit of standing well back from the action, so this absolutely chimes

Thank you again

I thank you, I’m no expert either so your vote is as good as mine!
