Delighted to finally be on BlueSky!
Looking forward to connecting with more progressives, more liberals, more LGBTQIA+ allies and more people who do not like Reform UK, MAGA and Trump.
Let's work towards a fairer, more progressive world for all.

Best of luck to @libdemshk.bsky.social candidates across England in today's Local Elections, especially in #Lincoln!
And, like so many in Lincolnshire, I'm hoping Andrea Jenkyns doesn't win the Greater #Lincolnshire Mayoral Election. She'd achieve little for our brilliant county.

I'm glad that prescription prices won't be going up this year - they are high enough as it is in England.
If only we could afford to make prescriptions free for everyone.

The settler originally from Texas is an horrendous human being, discriminating against and using dehumanising language against Palestinians so fervently and using his religion to justify using that language.

Can't believe I just heard a gun carrying Israeli ultra-religious nationalist in the Louis Theroux documentary #TheSettlers saying that he doesn't even recognise "Palestinian" as a word.
Absolutely shocking. Vile.

Watching the Louis Theroux documentary #TheSettlers exposing the more extremist ultra-nationalist religious element of the Israeli settler population living in the occupied West Bank.
Eye-opening is an understatement.

£85.9bn wealth transfer to the rich.
Since 2022 UK govt has sold gilts/bonds acquired with QE at a loss.
It is also paying interest to banks on deposits they hold with the Bank of England to facilitate interbank transactions. Unnecessary.
£85.9bn enriched the rich, inflicted harms on others.

It's quite fun winding up the MAGA cult on X. They just can't accept their Dear Leader can't make a mistake. The contortions over the tariffs debacle are ridiculous. Sad.

In May's Local Elections, Labour are defending just 350 or so seats, compared to the Tories' 1400. Starmer could lose 100 but Badenough faces SEVEN TIMES as many.
The winners are likely to be the Lib Dems & the Greens.
Voters switching to Deform to teach Labour a lesson are repeating Brexit.
