Following jess Phillips

Ok but you do literally follow Jess Phillips though lmao

Counterpoint, awful right wing,.racist and transphobic MPs should be scared, maybe.that way they'd change their abhorrent views.

Also most of the userbase of this site doesn't want politicians and journos here, especially UK ones, because it's a safe space for queer/trans people and UK press/politics is rabidly transphobic and right wing

You're running into two concurrent issues - politicians are fundamentally extremely stupid, especially with IT (as they're mostly also boomers, at least in spirit) and this site is run by weird nerds (derogatory) wedded to weird libertarian software protocols above all

I mean not really, mostly just trying to hoodwink some gullible lib dipshits and discourage awful MPs and journos from coming here, but as a side effect it's quite good (also did you know you can create an account here in 30s with any fake email address? Or even any string X@Y.Z? 😘)

Yes, both are fake, but I'm real

Doubly on yours, actually, given your support for the British and US war crimes in the illegal occupation of iraq

Blood is on your hands and every other terf shithouse, you rancid cunt

I recommend that you take a long walk off a very short pier 👍

Thankyou Adam, I'm looking forward to there being some healthy political discussion here!

I'm sorry to see that fake news seems to be prevalent on this platform, sadly this seems a hazard with all networks in this day and age! However, please do not tar all with the same brush - it appears I have joined at an unfortunate time!

As followers on Xitter and Insta may know I have for some years posted a Tree of the Day. These are usually photos taken by myself. But occasionally someone else sends me one. This is from Matt Kelly founder of The New European. He went to the Amazon in Brazil all to win TotD!!!

I would be immensely grateful if people could also recommend journalists and other political figures' accounts to me - I'm finding it difficult to figure out which other people have "made the jump", so to speak

Welcome to all of our new users, and a special welcome to the UK, which had the most Bluesky signups of any country for 5 out of the last 7 days!

What makes Bluesky different? Some key features: 🧵

There comes a time, in politics and in journalism, when you need to follow the flow of the crowd, so I'm delighted to be moving to posting less on X/Twitter and more here on Bluesky - I hope soon that Ed and the rest of the Political Currency team will join me here!
