Lucy Speed

@ralph_now @implausibleblog @bbcquestiontime Nope. I think it was pretty easy finding her. Prob just have to head to a university , look in places where people with successful upstanding careers like teachers are - decent humans living a real life, what one might call the majority , even still. No need to lift any rocks.

@implausibleblog Lol. No one in the UK thinks this. The @bbcquestiontime must have spent a lot of man hours scouring the streets for this lady. It's pathetic really.

School teacher, "I think we are proud to be British. But there have been moments I have been embarrassed to be British" #BBCQT Fiona Bruce, "Like when?" School teacher, "I live in an area where we have asylum seekers. The use of the English flag is being weaponised and politicised" "Something that used to represent unity is now being used to promote divisive policies" "One of the things we teach is British values" "One of the values is tolerance" "I do not see tolerance any more in politics" "If we're going to talk about the impact on national identity, that comes from leaders" "That also comes from political leaders who talk poorly of our own country"

This is what the Conservative Party did to all of us! Never let it happen ever again!

@CLWilliamsIV @CAsunshinegal @AlinejadMasih @realDonaldTrump @UN Didn’t Trumps goons also execute protestors in the street? This is a confusing paradox.

@CAsunshinegal @AlinejadMasih @realDonaldTrump @UN This is why we need to defund the UN and send them packing from NYC. More of our Tax Money flushed down the toilet every year with these hacks …. Trump’s Peace Group should replace the UN.

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

At midnight, the regime raided 18‑year‑old Melika Azizi’s home and dragged her to Lakan Prison in Rasht. She’s been beaten, cut off from her family, and sentenced to death. In court she looked the judge in the eye and shouted: “You’ve spilled the blood of so many young people, how can I stay silent? It doesn’t matter to me, kill me too.” This is a teenager whose “crime” was courage. We can’t let them execute her in silence. #MelikaAzizi #StopExecutionsInIran

@JeremyVineOn5 The Government must help urgently with energy bills - people can barely afford them now without them rising further! No we can't afford this every time - that's why I also spoke about investing in clean energy infrastructure & reducing peoples bills in the long term.

@MoltenSugarR @WFmerica @IanCopeland5 Or flu or most of the others ones they’ve conflated here. Lunacy.

@WFmerica @IanCopeland5 This picture is a BS. They don't give four covid vaccine shots with a monthly interval.

This is what Smallpox looked like in a world without vaccines. You've never seen such a thing. Know why? Because vaccines work...

Almost a week ago, US First Lady Melania Trump chaired a UN Security Council meeting on "children in conflict" while the US and Israel killing children in Lebanon, Gaza and Iran. Today, US envoy Tom Barrack, who is accused of raping children on Epstein Island, is chairing the UN Security Council on the human rights situation in the Middle East. This is the most hypocritical things we have seen in the history of the Security Council.

GB News has turned into the Reform channel. After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act. We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.

I said "And this sustained project of privatisation and deregulation turned Britain from a place which made things people need to a place which made money for people who owned things." And the City said:

9-year-old lad walking home from football sees something not right. Three blokes trying to drag a girl into a van. Most people would freeze… he didn’t. Started shouting, ran straight at them, caused a scene. They panicked and ran off. She got away. Nine years old. Fair play to the kid that’s proper courage.

Well Done Spain 🇪🇸. A ROOF TILE THAT’S GIVING LITTLE OWLS THEIR HOMES BACK In rural Spain, a clever design is helping thousands of nocturnal birds reclaim what modern construction quietly took away. The Little Owl once nested in old stone walls and traditional farmhouses. But as rural architecture modernized, those natural cavities disappeared — leaving these small hunters without shelter. So conservationists from the Grup de Naturalistes d’Osona and Grup de Natura Sterna designed something brilliant. They created the Teula Mussolera — a modified clay roof tile that doubles as a high-tech birdhouse. Here’s why it works: It looks exactly like traditional Spanish roofing — preserving the beauty of rural homes. Its internal tunnel is predator-proof and thermally stable, protecting chicks from heat and hunters. It allows owls to live alongside humans as villages expand. And here’s the smartest part… This isn’t charity. It’s partnership. The Little Owl is an elite natural pest controller — hunting thousands of insects and rodents every year. Farmers who install these tiles aren’t just helping wildlife… they’re recruiting a silent, feathered security team that reduces the need for chemical pesticides. Sometimes conservation isn’t about separating humans and nature. It’s about designing a way to thrive together.

When the UN tried to declare food a human right, two countries voted against it. The United States and Israel.

THANK GOD THAT WE DONT HAVE BAT SHIT CRAZY EXTREMELY STUPID LEADERS HERE IN EUROPE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, "Let us say to our British friends" "If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties" "They will be be met with open arms" Sounds like a plan. Who's in?

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, "Brexit was a colossal mistake" "I'm too diplomatic to express exactly what I think about those who promoted Brexit, during the campaign, and those who still think that Brexit is a good thing" "It's not only like shooting yourself in the foot" "It's like amputating your leg without a medical reason for doing it"

How meningitis rash looks on Black skin 👇🏾 Take note because there is no mention of how it presents itself on Black people.

One in six private renters is now renting a former council home, often at extortionate rates – and often partly paid for by the government in the form of housing benefit. It's not just deeply unfair - it economically doesn't make any sense. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

the annoying thing about this meningitis outbreak is that a student from liverpool john moores uni died from it on jan 3rd and his parents actually sent mails to universities and student unions to raise awareness but never got any responses

Something genuinely different happened in British politics today. Zack Polanski gave his first major economic speech as Green Party leader and it wasn't the usual vague gestures you get from other party leaders. It was a diagnosis and a plan. The diagnosis: privatisation, austerity and Brexit haven't just been bad policy choices, they've locked Britain into a structural trap. A "bond market doom loop" where financial markets constrain every government before it's even started. The plan ("Zackonomics") is built around ending rip-off Britain for the people who actually keep this country running: → Freeze energy bills now (£8.4bn, funded by the windfall tax) → Cap rents → Nationalise water → Scrap Right to Buy → Forgive student debt → Rejoin the Customs Union and eventually the EU Funded by making wealth pay its share: a wealth tax, equalising capital gains with income tax, and closing the loopholes that let the richest opt out. Is every detail nailed down? No. But this is what it looks like when a party leader actually tries to match the scale of the problem. Britain's economic settlement is broken. Someone finally said it. #Zackonomics x.com/TheGreenParty/…
