Referencing GBNews Poll on BREXIT. For the avoidance of doubt, and bots, could we do a quick retake on this one? Would you, if there was another referendum, vote for ✅ or against ❌ BREXIT? We will be watching 👀 🤖 Please RT for a broader view.

I'm not one for taking many landscape shots, but sometimes, especially living here on #Mull I have to make some sort of an effort.

Mull is a beautiful location and offers stunning views.

Happy to share more, if people show sufficient interest.

This was the view towards Rum from Mull, on a rather colourful evening. Taken from the "hill road" leading out of Dervaig.

EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

Today over on Twitter feels like the time I got a call to say my Dad was dying, I flew home on the next flight, cried all the way, landed in Dublin, got a taxi to hospital, only to arrive at my Dad’s bed where he was sitting up eating a bowl of fucking ice cream #Twitter

Nancy #Pelosi is stepping down as Speaker of the House.

A few years ago, when we made a #VEEP sketch for the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, the offices of all the politicos who took part in it (#Boehner; #Biden; M. #Obama) asked us to take jokes out. Pelosi, on the other hand, told us not to be so shy and to put more in.

Respect.

This graph - showing how low social security benefits are in the US - has an unintended side effect of showing just how poorly Britain compares.

Hint: look for the US. Then keep going down. #UKpolitics

Even within austerity, Chancellor has choices: smooth curve of cuts and gradual debt reduction VS front-loading pain, to give Sunak room for a faux-mini-recovery and ‘giveaways’ before next election. Hunt plans to do the wrong thing *and in the wrong way*.

Austerity kills people. Last decade of cuts resulted in 335,000 excess deaths. Causing unnecessary misery to improve a PM’s election prospects is profoundly wicked.

Over 300,000 ‘excess’ deaths in Great Britain attributed to UK Government austerity policies

Recent evidence has shown people across the UK are dying younger as a result of austerity, with people living in the poorest areas hardest hit. A new study published today now quantifies the scale of these deaths.

This week, the world’s human #population is expected to reach 8B. About 109B people have lived and died. Each grain of sand represents 10M.
