Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Britain taxes the poorest more than the richest.

This is why we are in such a mess. A failure to tax those who can afford it most. The rich leaching off the poor.

We need to stop letting the rich make the rules.

New data from the Office for National Statistics shows that the poorest 10% of households in the UK are still paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the richest.

If like me you’ve had enough of these individuals trying to rewrite history share these actual FACTS
It’s bad enough former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been allowed to spout his absolute boll**** about “Brexit saving lives” unchallenged on UK news shows - now he’s traveling the world repeating it!

Let’s stop him rewriting history - share these actual FACTS

My daughter is doing her masters now but with Erasmus she could have had the option to study abroad for a year as an undergrad. My sister benefited from a year in Grenada in 1994 & because of it she’s fluent in Spanish. It’s tragic that our children can’t benefit as we once did.

Sadly, the #LongCOVID community and many others in the chronic illness community have expressed to us that harm often happens.

Psychologising an illness, failing to prevent reinfection, protocols which exacerbate ill health….

The list is endless.

What a difference it makes to receive a friendly greeting. Went to Dr’s surgery for RSV vaccine. Both receptionist & nurse were friendly & welcoming. On way home called in to local bakery & the lady serving was the same. Just what is needed on a cold, damp winter’s day. 👍 & thanks to all of them.

Dear @bsky.app
Lovin’ it here ~ don’t get me wrong.
Meeting up with long lost friends and you have kicked racist inciting scum like Nigel Farage off.

Couple of tiny asks:
Can you add a ‘Remove Follower option? I have one on Threads. Makes me feel safer.
And an Edit button ~ dodgy fingers!

Thanks!

War is unpredictable
Living through war
Is grueling
Grinding down your
Inner resources
But living life is vital
When your enemy
Wants you to expire
Dedicating yourself
To being there
Being heard
You might feel
Out in the cold
But we are here
You are not forgotten

11:20 am in Kyiv

Morning from Ukraine!
The night was not calm here.
As a result of the drone attack, an infrastructure facility in Kyiv Oblast was damaged. No information about casualties. 10 drones were down over Kyiv and the city’s outskirts.

I had #warcoffee and am ready to live life!
