Here we go again
Matt Vickers MP made a Conservative party video about the removal of Churchill from the fiver... and Vickers says:
"As Churchill himself once said 'a nation that forgets its past has no future.'
It's a FAKE QUOTE Churchill never said that.
Vickers is a shadow minister
The paranoid and fear about jumping into the shark tank is very real. People are genuinely scared to swim in it. They think they'll be bitten or eaten.
Yup, spot on.
How it started ... How it's going
The current climate of increasing misogyny & toxic masculinity is making life even more dangerous for women across the world
More terrifying still is the startling statistic that the most dangerous place of all for a woman is in her own home
Her
Own

It must end

We should never have phased out trams - big mistake.
Let us know Roger!
A vertical bar chart titled “London has one of the lowest rate of road traffic deaths in the world.” The chart compares average road‑traffic deaths per 100,000 daytime population for multiple international cities from 2018–2020. Bars run horizontally from 0 to 8 on the x‑axis. At the top of the chart, Oslo has the lowest value, followed by Inner London highlighted in yellow at 0.8, then Zurich, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Greater London highlighted in yellow at 1.1. Below these are Brussels, Bristol, Barcelona, Dublin, Montreal, Paris, Edmonton, Calgary, Warsaw, Milan, Vancouver, Greater Manchester, Lisbon, Melbourne, New York City, Auckland, Buenos Aires, Accra, Rome, Bogotá, Belgrade, Guadalajara, São Paulo, and Fortaleza. Cities at the bottom of the chart show the highest values, approaching 8. Footnote: “Daytime population is the sum of the resident population and the net influx of commuters.” Source: ITF Safer Streets Database.
London is proving that sustained action on road safety delivers real change.
By investing in better junctions, safer speeds and HGV safety standards, we’re building a city you can move around with confidence.
Low rates are a start, but our goal is zero. Because every journey should end safely.

Hegseth and Trump’s monstrous cult bombed a school murdering children. Not a single word or remorse or regret has passed their lips, just denial and distraction.
What sort of monsters are they?

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly
The multimillionaire financier Crispin Odey was described by the head of his hedge fund as a “sex pest” and a sociopath and blamed an incident in which he allegedly groped a female staff member’s breasts on a sedative he had taken, a tribunal has heard.
We have many prohibitions for children such as a ban on smoking, alcohol, sex, voting. They are all broken - except perhaps voting - so should we scrap them?
They’re coming for our NHS…

Miliband's words are all very well, but we'll believe "profiteering won't be tolerated" when we actually see it stopped.
It's already happening, so not holding my breath...

Israeli forces have killed this entire family in Lebanon.
goma @soigomaa In the 1800s, a woman engineered a heating system for freezing train cars. She wasn't allowed to patent it under her own name because the law said women couldn't hold patents. Her husband signed for her. Decades later, Ford stole her idea and it became a transport standard. Today every car, truck, train, and airplane on Earth uses her technology. In 2020, she was named one of the top ten women patent holders in history. 108 years after she died. Her name was Margaret A. Wilcox. And almost no one has ever heard of her..... (I share hidden stories of women)
I've been seeing a lot of stories like this lately.
We've come a long way, but we're not there yet.
Do you also mention all the times people are killed by cars?
He would as well. 😂😂😂
@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of B4B: “After over 18,000 of our supporters wrote to Ofgem highlighting real public concern over Musk’s powergrab, Best for Britain are calling on the Energy Secretary to step in and urgently reverse Ofgem’s misguided decision. It’s not too late to do the right thing.”
"A reminder the Royal Mail and the post office are separate businesses"
Splitting them up made no sense & was an act of vandalism by the Tory/LibDem govt, done solely so they could privatise Royal Mail.
On Elon Musk's firm being approved by Ofgem to supply energy to British homes, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey:
"Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
"Elon Musk is a threat to our national security...We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.”
The feeling's mutual

“Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain.” A subheading underneath says: “Ofgem licence means firm can replicate Texas setup of powering homes, businesses and EVs.”
Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.
We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.
