Thanks, Keir, for the warm welcome at 10 Downing Street. 
 
At a time of great consequence for our country — one in which our sovereignty has been called into question — alliances and friendships like ours matter.

On 22/01/25, GBeebies presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. I submitted a complaint via @GoodLawProject why don’t you? action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Someone needs to ask Farage to talk us through this one.

He’s all for an insurance based system like America & thinks this would be a suitable replacement for the NHS.

I think he’s a f**king right wing grifting bastard who knows literally nothing about the subject he has strong opinions on.
US healthcare is off the rails.

TY, I was in 2 minds whether to share it as it's likely tobe extremely triggering for some but I'm hoping others will report it too.

You have to give me some credit, as it was blowing a gale, I had to hold my glasses on with one hand & the camera with other - not all heroes wear capes (just Berghaus jackets)*

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold.
Think about it.

I have unexpectedly have to go to Devon today for a few days this week.

I will literally have a couple of days to myself & wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

Big fan of walking, history & photography

Googling as well of course but some ‘real’ advice would be much appreciated 🙏

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.
