- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)I think the bots on X and on here are skewing the outcome of elections. In Scotland consider this: snp failure or a new more committed FM? Vote Scottish Labour. Sarwar for Scotland.
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)The UK PM has today had his 2nd call with the President of the United States this week. Both calls have discussed events in Ukraine & peace negotiations. Both also so the pair talk about the joint UK–US base on Diego Garcia. Important work still ongoing, despite the media circus we have right now.

The very papers who lauded May, Johnson, Truss & Sunak now want to control the government with demands the PM resign. Over an appointment they almost universally lauded a year ago. Yet again, manipulation of the populace by emotion. Again, the FBI has had this information for over a decade. 1/ - Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Labour is lifting half a million children out of poverty across the UK, including 95,000 in Scotland. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage is happy to keep kids in poverty to take 5p off of a pint. Child poverty is a scourge on our society and this Labour government is confronting it.

- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Posting this photo of Matt Goodwin and Steve Bannon (yeah Jeffrey Epstein's friend) seems to be upsetting Reform UK supporters. It came from his own blog: t.co/6TjPxiRX6l About how he met far-right party leaders and special interest groups, all fawning over Donald Trump.

We need to challenge the nonsense spread by anti vaxxers and ensure children are protected. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... news.sky.com/story/uk-los...

- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)I feel like we should all take a moment to remember that Ukrainians are still dying and this guy is just spitting bilge about fucking Greenland being "unprotected" from Russia.

- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)(1/2) Puppy farming is inhumane, causes suffering to dogs and distress for families who unknowingly buy animals raised in cruel conditions. I am therefore pleased that the Government’s Animal Welfare Strategy commits to ending this appalling practice, and today I called on

- The orange idiot just spoke about how bad it is in Venezuela where they cut someone’s hand off for phoning the police. How about shooting your own citizens in the face? Bit worse than cutting hands off IMO
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Live footage of me, listening to Gavin Newsom, a senior member of the party that screwed the last election and is still failing to provide any meaningful opposition, not to mention a citizen of the country who voted for this shambles, telling Europeans we are pathetic for not standing up to Trump.
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Should the UK turn its back on Musk?
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Just read Newsom's comments and couldn't be any more angry. The US inflicted this lunatic on us and he has the gall to say Europe looks "pathetic ... at least from an American perspective". It's like a man who willingly lives in a pigsty claiming that someone who trod in dog shit smells bad.
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)not only is this an appalling take which attacks Starmer for the actions of a lunatic and not the lunatic, but also strays well beyond ‘unbiased’ reporting

- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)"[Farage's] presence felt like constant noise. The persona he had adopted was destructive and intolerant of anything non-British. He wasn’t very good at anything – no great orator, charismatic, or engaging. Being vitriolic was the only way he’d get noticed." So, he was then *exactly* who he is now.

- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Please share this Nadhim Zahawi tweet as I think it’s now been deleted.
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Do you know how many Labour MPs are now on Bluesky? It's now over 300 out of the 400 or so MPs! And many do post! I've created starter packs and a list! Firstly the list: bsky.app/profile/did:... 1/5
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Much like Louise, I stopped posting on X some time ago (2024). For a while I continued reposting ministers etc but stopped that when it became obvious that we shouldn't even be using X to broadcast.
- Reposted by Laura F (Atticus & Arturo)Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.
