So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it

FFS the car lobbyists are so selfish.
When offered a mountain of evidence and data about in the long term benefits to bus services in the city of this scheme, a Bristol Labour Cllr literally said ‘the evidence of his eyes’ informed his decision about whether to let it go forward. www.bristol247.com/news-and-fea...

Has anyone asked Nigel Farage what he thinks of his "resilient and brave" friend Donald Trump posting racist memes on Truth Social?

This is the level of debate regarding the liveable neighbourhoods proposals for South Bristol.

Whilst we strive for a safer place to live, we see moronic criminal damage like this (see alt text for what they've sprayed on our lovely UpFest mural).

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Clevedon South by election result.

A straight switch from the far right to the Nazi party splits what was once the Tory vote.

Labour bleeds votes to the Greens and Lib Dems but scrapes through.

Tactical voting will be really important come the general election.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder:

“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

That is strictly nonsense for morons. The politicians themselves are entirely dishonest about their beliefs and are exploiting the likelihood that if someone is silly and delusional enough to believe in God then they might just be silly and delusional enough to swallow their political ideology.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

I'm loving all the lists of people who have not, and never would be mentioned in the Epstien files. Asylum seekers, poor people, reasonable people with a basic understanding of morality, and of course 99.99% of the global population.
It's just a few rich, white, 'Oh I'm totally innocent' blokes.
