I have a Jewish former colleague who moved to Israel and worked to foster Jewish/Muslim relations. Hated Netanyahu until 7 October. Today equated the deployment of a few cluster bombs over Israel with the destruction of Gaza. Bibi could yet win the next election.
To be fair, he says he works for the leader of the opposition so presumably doesn’t support the attacks. Would be helpful if he made that clear though.
Don’t be ridiculous. There are enough unserious people in our politics right now, please don’t join them.
Anyone who has lost a dog will absolutely understand. 28 Feb was the first anniversary of losing our 4 year old Lab to a freak sepsis incident. We miss him every day.
Bloody superstar!
So sorry, sending much love ❤️
Nooo I’m with Mark. Dark, oppressive mornings and stupidly light at night which destroys candlelight dinners.
And it has James Gandolfini in which is always a Good Thing.
And all the Iranian sailors on the unarmed frigate they sunk in another blatant war crime?
Wouldn’t that be wonderful!
He is predicting the use of AI will cause massive staff layoffs. Where the hell does he think all those employees are going to find work? Ironically some of his poor saps worked all hours to effectively make themselves redundant. Brave new world eh?
Who do you fancy to win the UK Open? I’d like to think Luke has hit his stride but not totally convinced.
@softsoulcomplex.bsky.social Nice win for the Nuke. Finally finding some form do you think?

This is terrifying. Presumably Hegseth and co have been appointing commanders who share this abhorrent world view.
Thank you for all you do, in these dark times you - and all who support your work - are a beacon of hope for a better world ❤️
Zelenskyy is a thousand times the man Trump could ever be. And he knows it.
Miraculous recovery!
Earliest on record too!
Happy St Totteringham’s Day to all who celebrate!🍾🎉🤣
Sorry to be pedantic but isn’t that a Westie (West Highland White Terrier)? Cute dog whatever, and with impeccable retail taste!
May he win his peace and have the long life of friendships and love he deserves. Outstanding human being.
On holiday in Cuba, the hotel entertainment team chivvied the lazing guests into the pool for a session of “Aqua Gym”, charmingly pronounced in a Spanish accent. Subsequently our dog’s hydrotherapy would forever be referred to as “Aqua Yim!”
I'll be frank - last night was a tough result for our party. I want to start by thanking our brilliant candidate in Gorton and Denton - Angeliki Stogia. She put up a real fight – taking the hatred and division of Reform head on, as well as setting out a positive case for the change she would champion in her community. And I want to thank the party staff and thousands of members who have knocked doors, delivered leaflets, ran campaign rooms and donated over the last few weeks. We ran a strong campaign in Gorton and Denton, but we fell short. It is obviously a disappointing result. It is also true that this is the kind of result we have often seen governments face during the mid-term point. But I get it: people are rightly impatient to see more of the change they voted for in 2024. It’s my job to make sure that happens. And I’m working day in, day out to see it through. Over the coming months, people will feel more of the change we are delivering on cost of living and more opportunities for people in our country. Look at the good economic news we’ve had in the past week: inflation and borrowing coming down, retail sales and business confidence rising, energy bills falling. And look at the policies that are going to make a difference in people’s lives in the coming months: the landmark Employment Rights Act, money off energy bills, the cruel two-child limit scrapped, NHS waiting lists continuing to fall. All that did not just happen by accident. It happened because of decisions, Labour decisions, that we made. I want to say another thing about the result. The Greens can win in a by-election – but they can’t replicate it in a national election. We’ve seen that before. We’ve seen it with the Lib Dems, who have often won mid-term by-elections against both the Conservatives and Labour, but never been able to come close to winning nationally. The majority of this country neither want the wrong-headed policies of Zack Polanski or the division of Nigel Farage. Our task i…
There’s a markedly softer tone in the letter he sent to Labour Party members. The worst description of Greens is “wrong headed”. Why so different??
Billboard outside the theatre in London’s west end advertising Wendell Pierce in Death of a Salesman 2019.
Saw The Bunk himself absolutely smash it in London’s West End. Epic production, Wendell killed it, as he does everything else.
No skin in this game but Talarico is certainly impressive, hearing an American advocating division between church and state and not shoving one’s religion “down anyone’s throat” is incredibly refreshing.
That was the Spanish couple and it was indeed amazing. They came 6th.
Haven’t the majority of immigrants come from our former colonies? The countries that made us one of the wealthiest in the world??
Happy birthday Ben from the little British Isle of Wight! 🎉🥳🎂
Sending hugs 🥰
Surely he needs to look outside the current set up which has given him such catastrophically bad advice?? New broom etc or we’re stuffed.
