Finally Reform finds a migrant it wants to house.
When the Greens said this, nothing. When the LibDems spoke up about how bad it was Labour were dropping this, nothing. Reform back it and its even a headline in the fucking Guardian. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Reform UK backs plan to put swift bricks in every new home in England
Party joins MPs across political spectrum in supporting bird conservation amendment similar to one blocked by Labour

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

I'm surprised Trump hasn't announced how it's another sign of God's will that the Americans the most righteous of all the nations in the world 🙄🤦♀️
Pope Leo is a lifelong American citizen, but is also the leader of Vatican City. Can an American citizen lead a foreign nation? And can a Pope retain foreign citizenship? The answers are yes and yes — but it rarely happens.
Can Pope Leo Keep U.S. Citizenship?

I live next to a river. The amount of rats we see nowadays is at least 10x as many as when we moved in 15 years ago, if not more. There are 3 or 4 times when the sewage gets added (the smell is horrendous and the water in the taps has an oily consistency).

Always knew the Pope was a "dude" 😎 #respect
"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."
Pope Sends Deputy to Lecture Vance on Compassion at Vatican
Vance had an “an exchange of opinions” with Cardinal Pietro Parolin that touched on migration, the Vatican said.

Probably because more and more people are stopping watching/reading the news these days. It's not like anything good ever happens 🤷♀️
Was at the dentist this morning.
Dentist: How's it going?
Me: Eh, haven't been added to any confidential Signal chats!
Dentist: ...what?
Neither dentist nor her assistants had any idea about the top headline on every single news site yesterday.
Talk about it. GET PEOPLE to follow the news.

@philbrickellmp.bsky.social Still no response to the cuts in disability benefits that will see some of the poorest in our local community live much further below the poverty line than they currently do (btw Bolton has the highest male suicide rate in the UK so you SHOULD be taking note as their MP!)

@philbrickellmp.bsky.social Any response from you on the disability benefit cuts? As my local MP, I would expect there to be (esp after you were kind enough to write to me and let me know you'd be taking any proposed cuts seriously) 🤔

Because they didn't realise that's actually two words? 🤔 Nice to know the UK has children smarter than those folks at the Oxford University Press 🙈🤣
“Brain rot” has been named 2024 Word of the Year by the Oxford University Press.
Oxford’s Word of the Year Is ‘Brain Rot’
A slang term for supposed mental damage done by overconsumption of trivial online content triumphed over a shortlist that also included “lore,” “demure” and “slop.”

#JohnPrescott always earned a bit of my respect for defending Jeremy Corbyn during a witch-hunt, stating that Corbyn had always been a proper MP who served his constituents in the best way possible and deserved respect. He served long and hard. RIP.

This @bsky.app is absolutely nailing in it in every way. In layout & functionality it already feels like home. If numbers keep growing in this phenomenal way & with advertisers fleeing X like rats leaving a sinking ship I can’t see how the other place can survive, at least not in its present state
