Enjoying being a Freebird on Bluesky. Same handle @glensidetwo2
Early days but has a lovely feel to it. I'll say it again Thanks @SydesJokes for the invitation code.

So #Sunakered has no interest in the evidence, only in the posturing.
Whoever would have thought it?

This seems to suit me today. Our lovely NHS has ruled out critical illness but it's still taking time to feel better. #Covid

Has anybody told #InactionMan he's not actually Head of State?

This rapid sale of former HS2 land always had #ToryScam written all over it.
#ToryCorruption
"Fire sale” of land bought for HS2 north of Birmingham set to cost the taxpayer more than £100m.
Land was bought at a premium under compulsory purchase.
£100m loss to the public purse. But Tory cronies will make money again.

Why are we paying for little #InactionMan 's helicopter just so he can buzz around cosplaying at political leadership?
Rishi Sunak has claimed that voters are fine with him spending £50,000 a day on this ridiculously large private jet.
If you aren’t fine, RT and tell him to spend his own £720,000,000.
Where is his pay restraint?
Also like if you want him to f** off.

Listening to the vile creature Tice makes me thank the stars for FPTP. I hope his nasty bunch of proto fascists sinks like a stone at the GE & Tice with it.

Sitting in my island village today surrounded by floodwaters (age-old issue here), rejoicing that #ToryGreed can't enable house builders to make it worse by building on our floodplain.

Oh great. Let's give the wealthiest people more money - that's bound to help Tory election prospects isn't it?

💙 Amazing NHS went into turbo drive for me yesterday to investigate & reassure over my virus induced tachycardia, breathlessness & chest pain. GP practice: "come here now" & @AiredaleNHSFT A&E: "we will get to the bottom of this".
Bloody amazing the lot of you. 👏 👏👏

Naga's eyebrows deserve their own show.
Naga Munchetty - Do you think you will win the general election if it was held within 12 months?
Greg Hands - Yes
Naga raises her eyebrows at that reply.

I'll be blocking any saying pensioners don't deserve min wage income.
Yes baby boomers often have 2nd work pensions, but our parents still alive, nonogenarians & centarians (mostly women) do not & large numbers in poverty. These are WW2 vets generation. Don't let them down now!

So no more winter fuel allowance for pensioners unless in grinding poverty ie getting pension credit - a pitifully small amount. Please remember even if pensioner gets pension credit, comes nowhere near national minimum wage.

Wonderful. If only the young people of UK would get out to vote in these sorts of numbers. It's our only hope for mending #ToryBrokenBritain imo. Little wonder Tories don't want to make voter ID work better for young people.
Many people think that young people are too disinterested or jaded to turn out and vote.
Look at what just happened in Poland! The youngest voters turned out in vast numbers to strive to regain a pro-EU future.
There's a lesson there for anyone willing to learn it.
