Shame on you, #KeirStarmer. I hoped for a nobler calling from you & #Labour Party. Why not join Reform, as you compete with Farage. Teams of uniformed enforcers swooped on a few innocent darker skinned people in #Richmond recently. Sickening. No human being is illegal.

#ISpy #Richmond - sign outside #Watcho jewellers. Is this an example of pessimism? Or optimism?

@catsmeow-wa3.bsky.social - and since you like gardening, a rock rose (cistus) - blooming in May this year.

The Gypsy Kings played at Kew Gardens last Sunday. Fabulous! Picnic on a warm evening with joyful #music and dance, lovely audience too. Volare!

215 #Republicans voted to gut #Medicare and #Medicaid. This callous, rushed-through (in middle of the night) law affects families, children. 11 million people’s lives endangered. The nation’s #Health

No person is illegal. If you’ve ever been to hospital, travelled by bus or train, had your street swept, driven a mini, enjoyed fish & chips or tasty food in a restaurant - you can thank an #immigrant for improving life in Britain. Make #RefugeesWelcome

‘Migrants’ are not the problem

Photo in East London’s Wilton’s Music Hall, waiting for the play to start. Mark Lockyer was stunning as ALL the characters in Hamlet. Fabulous!

Visited Museum of the Home yesterday. Beautiful displays about our homes & lives in Britain, past present & future. Inclusive social history. All free! Lovely garden & cafe & friendly staff. Also an excellent shop (see photos). #Museum #London #MuseumOfTheHome

Just managed to catch on National Theatre at home, the play #Nye by Tim Price, about the life of Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan, founder of the National Health Service. Our #NHS was his vision and with it, #NyeBevan literally saved the lives of millions of people. #MichaelSheen & cast were terrific. #NHS❤️

This is the headline that the Republican silences: ‘Data from Texas shows that US born Americans commit more rape and murder than immigrants.’

The Washington Post’s slogan is: ‘Democracy dies in darkness’. Well, looks like someone at The WP has turned the lights off.
As demonstrated by the opinion piece below, quoted in one of the excellent emails from God. - thank you, @god.bsky.social
