Yorkshire lass living in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, teaching in Cheshire and rolling my eyes at RW, Tory/Reform bollocks here & Maga/Christofascist bullshit over there. Woke AF. Committed atheist. No DMs- you WILL be unfollowed & blocked.
Had a great day at the 4th day of the 4th test between England and India. All fans having a great crack together. Farage would just SHIT if he saw this.

This is TERRIFYING. UK could become a vassal state of conservative USA & bring a version of Project 2025 to our shores.
The Brexit vote was fiddled by Cambridge analytics, Cummings, lies & private funding

Trump win was fiddled by computer fraud, lies to evangelical Christian’s & private funding

Farage is being paid to do the same lies etc to England in elections again

He will succeed as nobody will stop him
If, like me, you think Brexit was a terrible idea, this should terrify you.

Reform has linked up with the U.S. based groups to create its own version of Project 2025.

Are people in the UK just ignorant to the burgeoning autocracy and breakdown of society in the US?

Watch this to the end. My sentiments exactly.
This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed.

THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”

Time to crank out the best photo I ever took when I lived in NYC. This guy was just hanging around in K Town with his sign. Seems very pertinent today.

American Senator being manhandled for asking questions of the puppy killer. This admin is full-on fash.
Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

As a Brit, I’m a bit confused about Gavin Newsom. It wasn’t that long ago that people seemed to be having a massive go at him (podcast?) - and now it’s like he’s the messiah for the way he’s standing up to Trump. Can someone enlighten me, please?

Bravo, Ian Wright, for referencing the FA banning women from football for 50 yrs in addition to what they did to Jack Leslie as one of their many mistakes. No doubt he’ll be accused of ‘wokeness’ by the slack-jawed gammony mob.

And this is what we’re paying a license for..???
EXCLUSIVE: The BBC has drawn up plans to win over Reform voters by changing its news and drama output.

This is relevant here, too.
This hits hard.

Great thread for those who 'don't know' if the deal is better than the Brexit 'deal' Johnson fudged (30% according to YouGov). It may not be what we had before Brexit but it's a step in the right direction.
The UK-EU summit agreement covers the following 12 areas:

1. Sanitary & Phytosanitary
2. Energy cooperation
3. Emissions trading
4. Steel
5. Law enforcement & judicial cooperation
6. Irregular migration
7. Defence, security & development
8. Fisheries
9. Youth & educational mobility

I’ve already been sent this and completed it- but ok, I’ll do it again. *cracks knuckles *. Kuenssberg/ QT Reform Kate Andrews Show/ Chris Mason are all going to get it. Suggestions for political shows welcome.

Trump’s going to take credit for this new Pope, isn’t he…?

I approve of this behaviour
Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.

They graded it.

Bwahahaha.

The face you make when you have to deal with an intellectual amoeba compared to yourself.
The face you make when you realize you’re trapped in the room with a babbling buffoon.

Excellent news from Canada. Amusing to think it was heading for a conservative govt BEFORE Shitzinpants started his shenanigans. Carney is the closest adult in charge to the US.

UK teachers start on $42k/£31650…
We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

WHAT??!!! This can get to f@&k.
Libraries in the UK increasingly asked by individuals and small groups to remove books, primarily with LGBTQ+ themes, from shelves, as the malign influence of right wing US pressure groups stretches across the Atlantic, where it has no place:
