TOP TIP: Did you know Bluesky has a feature which prevents you from replying to people just to say any old bollocks? Simply DON'T click the reply button and then type any old bollocks. I think the option is in Settings.

On September 11, 1973, Chile’s socialist president Salvador Allende was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup.

In this 1971 interview, published in English for the first time in Jacobin, Allende expressed his fears of destabilization and US interference.

We’re Back - the rags to riches story of Liverpool FC

It’s the story of how a scrappy underdog went from 6th in the League to 1st, armed with little more than a can do attitude and £1bn transfer kitty

It is absolutely absurd that Diane Abbott has been suspended for this.

She's describing the lived experience of anti-Black racism.

She wasn't saying Jewish people and Travellers don't experience racism. She's saying that racism takes different forms.

#DrStrangelove is excellent - refreshing, and highly relevant to current global politics. #NTLive a great way to see it on a budget. Gp Capt Mandrake forever! ♥️

I have some sympathy with low information Trump voters who were sold a pup by a hideous media/politics complex. I have none for bankers paid $$$ to understand what's going on.

Is that the nothingest 'Super Sunday' match ever? Neither team can get promoted/win league/get Europe. No star players. Nothing at all. The EPL equivalent of Richard and Judy.

On LBC this morning, I spoke about why we should be far more worried the power Elon Musk is accruing, especially in light of his Open AI moves.

The normalisation of his actions and activity by quite a bit of the US and even UK media is a big part of the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnt...

I'm a UK graduate. I did all my schooling in the UK, undergraduate & postgraduate.

But I wasn't born here.

I came to this country as a child refugee.

If you have a shortage of doctors now, it's not the fault of immigrants.

It's because of immigrants you have any health service at all.

Do better
Not only does this sound like yet another "migrants taking our jobs" rant, not only does it show a complete lack of engagement with the reality of the situation, it also shows that Streeting has no idea what "remittances" are. The anti-immigration "brain drain" myth has been debunked for years.
