A young single parent got an urgent referral to hospital as she's found a lump, didn't get to her appt, because she couldn't afford the parking when she arrived, so left. Too embarrassed to ask my daughter to quickly transfer a few bob. This is so wrong. There should be no charge for parking.

Greetings UK farmers!!
The man on the left bought a farm to avoid tax, and helped to push up land prices as a result.
The man on the right was a prime mover of Brexit - a major drain on the farming economy.
They are not your friends.

I've spent over three years writing about the COVID PPE scandal, since the early days.
It's the longest running story I've been involved with, and the most serious in terms of waste, rampant corruption, negligence, arrogance and mismanagement.
It epitomises 14 years of Conservative government.

One thing I'm enjoying about Bluesky is that I'm receiving posts about the Universe (with amazing pictures), food, books, and all sorts of lovely other stuff that I'd forgotten existed on that other place. How refreshing and good for the soul

@familylaw.bsky.social, how do I find help for my daughter and her 2 children? No legal aid, and I can't afford to keep funding. Ex wants her to sell house. Please, can someone advise, I'm at my wits end

In case you missed it ...
1. Leaving the Single Market was NOT on the Brexit ballot.
2. We can be members of the Single Market WITHOUT rejoining the EU.
3. Leaving the Single Market was a political decision by a former government, so future governments are NOT bound by it.

I for one am delighted to see so many interesting anti-fascist UK folks coming to our shores. @3chordrock.bsky.social created an excellent Starter Pack for pro-Europe/anti-fash UK folks, and someone at Bluesky cleverly put a "Follow All" button at the top of the Starter Packs:
