Yesterday we cycled through heavy rainstorms, strong wind, cold; we had punctures and mechanical issues plus some unpleasant comments, yet that pales in comparison to what Palestinian people face on a daily basis. Please give generously if you can. justgiving.com/page/newcastl…

I rarely use X/twitter now, the algorithms are terrible and it's become unenjoyable. I'm giving bluesky a try and will post my profile here for those interested.

Let us remember all those who have fallen previously and give our best efforts to ensure it never happens again.

When tens of thousands are killed in Palestine and we use words like 'genocide', we're told it's an insult to previous victims. When a few dozen football hooligans are attacked after rampaging round a city, all of a sudden it's a pogrom. Unbelievable hypocrisy.
These weren’t ‘clashes’. It was a modern-day pogrom. And another warning to the West about the consequences of mass migration and failed integration. Wake up before it’s too late.

Politicians up in arms about the scenes in Amsterdam shows exactly what we're up against. No mention of Palestine flags being ripped down everywhere, but when locals fight back, it's a 'pogrom'. We must never concede anything to these.

Labour are a total dud. They got in due to a split in the right and have got off to the worst start possibly ever. Farage will be buoyoed, Kemi is not that popular, all setting up for a huge next General Election

Just think thousands go to arenas to listen to these two clueless Muppets yap on
"Tonight is a very, very devastating body blow." @RoryStewartUK reflects on how he could have gotten his election prediction so wrong.

A penny off a pint but bus fare going up a quid, so to go town and back I'd have to have 200 pints to break even...
This is a Budget with cheaper pints. #Budget2024

Moment Labour MP Mike Amesbury sucker punched constituent and then beat six times him while he lay on the ground caught on shocking CCTV footage trib.al/KRomqVQ

This has to be parody at this point
Hello America … you can vote for billionaires and fascism, or you can vote for in-touch people and freedom … why you’re even making it close is beyond the rest of the world (apart from the leaders of Russia, China and North Korea).

Wait til you find out how much they have in reserves ...
It is reported that you, @PoppyLegion, have a department of Diversity and Inclusion whose head is paid between £64,122 and £67,437 a year. If this is correct, how is that a useful way of spending money donated to your charity by millions of people?

Awful news 😞 my thoughts go out to the family
A boy has tragically died following an explosion in Newcastle. He sadly died as a result of the incident in the Violet Close area in the early hours of today. Despite the efforts of the responding emergency services he tragically died at the scene. [1/7]

In their droves 🤣🤣
People voted Labour in July in their droves because the party did not offer up ludicrous unfunded promises, the sort that cost them elections they should have also won by a landslide under Corbyn.

The confidence to do this on camera, and the reaction of the female shows everything that is still wrong in society. She should not have to tolerate this at all. He should be kicked off the show immediately to send a message to others as well.
Something very weird was happening on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing last night

A Workers Party Vs TUSC feud seems to be brewing, notably one sided. Wonderful. Just what we need.

We had rampaging mobs up and down the country over summer, I wonder how angry people will get over this. Absolutely sickening!
NHS hospitals are now charging patients £2/hr just to sit in a wheelchair in A+E. These are some of the sickest patients, who often have to wait hours to be seen. The NHS is crumbling, and is being eaten away by constant privatisation. When will @wesstreeting act?

I try not to get bogged down into generalisations but it is hard to with this. These Tory pensioners would've been glad to see the 2 child benefit cap kept, spouting 'its not my job to feed others kids', not so happy when they're on the receiving end though.
This winter, pensioners will have to choose between heating and eating. And that’s on Keir Starmer.

Fascinating thread
Replying to @culturaltutor
Other countries were even slower — in Russia the Gregorian Calendar wasn't adopted until 1918. Hence the famous confusion around the "October Revolution" of 1917. It happened on 25th October in the Julian Calendar, but on 7th November in the Gregorian.
