@Th3Oasis @TalkTalk I’m having exactly the same problem with my mother’s account - and am going round in time-consuming circles trying to get a resolution. Did you find a way through? (I’m assuming the replies pointing you to a dodgy-looking hacker are best ignored).

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

While I *am* still mainly moving to Bluesky, I do plan to keep a (little) toe in here to support the good guys. These are two of them. Well worth half an hour of your day.

Origin Story Special: Fascism, conspiracy theory and the troll king Elon Musk. How the fuck we got here and how the hell we get out

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

I still get a lot of good balanced news content here - but if I make the mistake of looking into the replies, well, it’s not just outside my bubble. It’s outright lying, threatening, and intimidating. It’s time to wean myself off and start building up the Bluesky follow list.

@sharonodea @sturdyAlex Ah, but will he be there to bob up in October? Or will the scent of Trump $$$ be too tempting?

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

@sharonodea @sturdyAlex I’ve been betting on a flounce by Christmas - beginning to think I can bring that forward somewhat.

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

@IanDunt My optimism levels are ratcheting up.

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

@OllieEngland @OhGodWhatNowPod ... and is Farage actually capable of managing a team of 2-13?

We can do it South West Herts! 💪🌹

Something to fire up the embers of cautious hope and optimism...

Sensitive, thoughtful and insightful portrait of Keir Starmer’s life and leadership by ⁦@IanDunt⁩ and ⁦@Dorianlynskey⁩. Beautifully done and well worth a listen https://t.co/ygmecv35xq

@DanNeidle 79 and 19 are now my favourite percentages, and I shall use them at every opportunity.

@parkrunUK For a coffee & catch-up with @filbloor . Stayed with it for 16 years (so far) for the coffee & catch-up with a multiplicity of friends.

But Sunak won the debate…?

Really hoping that the term “Portillo moment” is wiped and replaced by “Sunak moment”.

Time to start planning #electionnight snacks & beverages…

[YouGov @YouGov]

Who do BBC debate viewers think came across as more...

Trustworthy: Sunak 39% / Starmer 50%
Likeable: Sunak 33% / Starmer 52%
In touch: Sunak 18% / Starmer 63%
Prime Ministerial: Sunak 41% / Starmer 42%

They’re simply working through the Tory greatest hits of yesteryear, aren’t they? I’m waiting for them to try “you’ve never had it so good”.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

We shouldn’t be reliant on foreign food. Buy British.

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

I'm using @BestforBritain's tactical voting information tool https://t.co/2yKM5uyl42 because it shows local factors and the latest polling data. https://t.co/G7qBs3wecl

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

Looks like a good list to me. Could even call it a "Plan" to undo the damage of the last 14 years. Seems like a bargain, and even more so if you strip out the spin and dissimulation.

Here’s how the £2000 tax hit for every working family in the UK is calculated, by independent, impartial Treasury officials

#ITVdebate My 2p. Terrible format. Sunak shouts lies confidently. Starmer seems to have a sense of humour. Preconceptions and prejudices unchanged. #SewingBee would have been more constructive viewing.

[marb1es (A14299) @marb1es]

@Sonos Just caught up with the app update. Seems to be even more of a room-reading failure & car crash than Sunak’s election campaign.

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

New prime minister Starmer is going to be in Washington DC on the day Trump is sentenced for the NATO summit.

Does anyone have a camera on Diane Lockhart? We need a camera on Diane Lockhart RIGHT NOW.
