Things you should never do to introverts:

1. Show up to our homes unexpectedly.
2. Interrupt our recharge time.
3. Invite people to the outing without telling us.
4. Call us right after we texted you.
5. Ask us “why are you so quiet?”

As a Labour MP put it to me, Wes Streeting looked around and said, 'well, not everyone can be on the boat.'

Just saw the speech by @charlotte2153.bsky.social on Jury trial reform, and her own trauma.

Incredibly brave, courageous and powerful statement.

Juryless trials are hugely damaging to proper Justice, and instead of fixing it, they want to make Kings out of Judges, with no room for actual Justice.

No idea why, despite following Emma, I only ever saw her magnificent threads second hand after someone else has quoted them so here I am doing my bit to spread the good word!

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people.

He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?

Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre Lib Dems urge watchdogs to warn fuel giants that they could be on the hook for hefty fines 'if they are found to be ripping off consumers'

Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre.

Opportunistic profiteering

Companies quick to increase prices, slow to bring them down.

Govt must act. Also clawback excess profits through windfall taxes.

Boosting this for Andy - his kits are incredibly cool and well thought out. Really enjoyed building mine and it gets a fair amount of use. Website link below.

Reform Don't Know Working Class Britain ...And their Miscalculations Might (Fingers Crossed) Prevent Farage from Entering No10.

“Farage’s career has been forged by courting those who are openly hostile to anyone who isn’t white and British.”

Absolute facts! 💯 @natashadevon.bsky.social

🚨On Tuesday the Prime Minister will order MPs to vote to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury. It’s a move that will set us on a path to toward authoritarian justice.

MPs must step up and tell him NO

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

This from the Daily Mail is quite something

The one tabloid that has done more damage to cultural cohesion, attacked diversity, migration, Islam, than any other, yet here they are praising the diversity of Dubai

It’s the psychology that makes a difference 🙄

Top-notch investigative journalism.

Here's Michael Gove, spluttering in the face of these straight forward questions:

1. What do you remember about the PPE contract with Michelle Mone?

2. What do you remember about the personal email she sent you?

He was mired in the PPE scandal up to his neck.

Why are Newsnight inviting this man, who attacks journalists on a daily basis, on to your show?

Why is our TV licence fee being wasted on his expenses? @vicderbyshire.bsky.social

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
