Elections bill will bring in once-in-a-generation change to voting – but misses big opportunity
Today sees the first reading of the Representation of the People Bill, the government’s landmark legislation reforming how elections work. This promises to make some fundamental reform

An outdated and undemocratic institution, built on nepotism and privilege, that dodges the transparency that should be required of all those in power.

Abolish the monarchy.

The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party.

He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war.

Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.

Steve 👇 reports and blocks as many of these bot Gaza accounts as he can but we can all help by doing the same thing.
I used to just report & block but we need to let others know as they will target all of our followers if we don’t. Use #SpotTheScammer to warn others

@mhm0dfmlihd827.myatproto.social and another fake #Gaza scam. PLEASE PEOPLE, STOP DONATING TO THESE SCAM ACCOUNTS.
If you REALLY can't tell what's genuine or what's part of a larger bot scam network DONT DONATE.
Give your money to mainstream charities of which there's many

There is currently an influx of fake sick child accounts run by organized criminals. If you see one, don't follow and certainly don't repost or donate, but report and block.
Let's make BlueSky a safer place and an unwelcome place for scammers.

Scammers trying to enrich themselves by draining off donations to legitimately distressed Gazans are vultures who need to be stopped. These people keep trying, we have to keep reporting and blocking them. Forever.

@amal-ka8.myatproto.social this isn't adding up. The post is different to the story in the link but the real issue is that the link describes this happening in 2023 thats 3 yrs ago. The child in the video isnt much older & I really don't think he's been lying there for the last 3 yrs

I did a little Google search this morning about the petite East Asian bots; here we go:
These accounts are part of a widespread, coordinated inauthentic network, often referred to as "pig butchering" crypto-scams or romance scams.

Okay it's nearly another day, so it's just about that time that I passed on my birthday to others. So if it's your birthday today, then I hope you have as much fun as I did today.
Happy birthday and I'm thinking of you.

Okay, I'm at my local so I can have a beer and a Laphroaig. It's allowed.

Manchester City 5-1 Chelsea

Wow! What a statement win for City!

Man City have thrashed Chelsea at the Etihad!

A Kerolin hat-trick along with goals from Bunny Shaw & Vivianne Miedema won it for the league leaders

City are now 11 points clear at the top of the WSL

It's good that more of the horrors of the Epstein files are coming to light, but it's really only confirming what we already knew or at least suspected.
If only the victims were believed in the first place then maybe we wouldn't have, amongst other things, a fascist in the White House.

Not good enough City. That second half was abject.

Birthday beer. Was in full panic mode throughout the Hibs game and now I have the Man City game to go. Might be lowering a few more.
