🥀Labour are launching another vile attack on fundamental human rights.

It is not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances. No human is illegal.

We strongly oppose Labour's Trump-style plans.

Hold on. I want to see billionaires do this on a live tech demo based on the AI technology they say will change the world.

Make this the Opening Ceremony at Davos.

(Bonus points if we can get some Dalek-themed backdrops.)
Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

My brain woke me up at 4am to sing Personal Jesus to me, but with the words changed to "reach out, touch base". I hate it.

And @righttoroam.bsky.social has
won!! The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camping on Dartmoor 🎉👏. Huge congratulations to all involved!
Now Government must step up & pass a comprehensive Right to Roam Act, to protect & extend public rights of access to nature across England
Today we find out if we lose our right to wild camp on Dartmoor - the last place in England where it’s still legal without permission.

We will share updates, verdict news and rally plans soon.

Live coverage of the verdict available on Sky News. More details can also be found here supremecourt.uk
