Bsky is rolling out age verification in the UK. This is a problem because it requires users to share their government ID with the platform, making it part of the wider surveillance state the UK has become. I'll be moving to Mastodon, follow me there if you like @davetortoise@mastodon.social

The Premier League have bent over backwards at every hurdle to stop us competing and disturbing “the big six” and now all of a sudden you can sell your women’s team to avoid a PSR breach. It makes you sick to think we had to sell Minteh/Anderson for this. The games well and truly gone #NUFC

Keir Starmer, "We've talked to colleagues who have made powerful representation. As a result of which we've got a package which I think will work"
You're proposing a two tier disability system. Some people with a disability will get more than other people with the same disability. This is wrong.

Good on the Labour backbench for holding Starmer to account on welfare cuts, a lot of people would've been really hurt by it if they hadn't. @marykfoymp.bsky.social my MP ❤️❤️

I feel pretty depressed about the fact that vast swathes of today's young people are completely reliant on a peice of software that can be switched off the instant it becomes unprofitable for some dork in San Francisco to be honest

Nigel Farage has announced a Robin Hood Tax in which billionaires could pay a one off fee of £250,000 and then never pay tax again on their £800,000,000 a year average income.
The Robbing You Tax would cost you £37bn a year.

I absolutely refuse to be dragged in to the mindset of urgency over transfers. Nerves of steel needed, I agree. But for me, you never judge a window until it’s closed (slams shut?).
Isak? Signed at the end of the window.
Tonali? Early July.
Bruno? End of Jan window
Calm heads needed.

Almost as if profiting off of water provision is a terrible and inhumane system. Why was this ever privatised?

Callum Wilson and Joe Willock do not look like the players of 3-4 years ago, but Newcastle United would absolutely not be where they are without those two. Individually, each probably saved us from relegation. They helped us win a trophy. Their contributions should not be forgotten. #nufc #HWTL
