Institutions including the #NaturalHistoryMuseum & #CambridgeUniversity hold more than 263,000 human remains, #TheGuardian finds. 37,996 of these items are identified as being from outside the UK.

I have encountered evidence of so many horrors of the #BritishEmpire that I am rarely shocked. Often angered, but rarely surprised.

But the sheer scale of this global #graveRobbery stuns. #GHOULS! 😡

Hannah Spencer's win for the Green Party didn't just bump membership up to 200,000. The party has been averaging 3,200 new members per day since the by-election. 😀

Only 35,000 to go until they're higher than the Labour Party.

@ReggieHere summarised it well. The UK's squillionaire media "tried all sorts of angles with #Corbyn before they found a couple that grew legs - all subsequently debunked of course but too late to make a difference."

Prepare for a few years of @ZackPolanski being bombarded from all directions with enormous quantities of expensive manure.

“Today the Voters of Gorton and Denton rejected the status quo and embraced hope” (The Muslim Vote, 2026-02-27)

>> The real story tonight is that young Muslims and wider voters are breaking from transactional politics and embracing democratic accountability - registering, organising, and participating fully in public life. Many backed the Greens because Labour has failed them on Gaza, immigration, the economy, the NHS, Islamophobia, and civil liberties…

"Earning your trust starts now," she says, adding that she will "work hard" for those who didn't vote for her too.

Spencer then apologises to any customers who have booked her in for plumbing jobs. "I'm heading to Parliament," she says."

This election in Gorton and Denton is like, kind of a big deal but also it's only one area, right? So that makes it a bit less stressful.

It's making me think that maybe with elections we should just have one election in one constituency per week. And then there's like, a rolling parliament. 😁

#Mandelson is such a big-hearted man, always #HappyToHelp the cops, just like he helped out his pal #Epstein!

Feeling weirdly proud that my nation is capable of arresting a Epstein Class Royal....I mean it's more than the Yanks can do, isn't it?
How rare is that? The UK doing something right?!

Dear people of the #USA, if the British manage to arrest the King's brother (on his birthday, no less) because of his close relation to #Epstein it may be a good time to apply even more pressure on your own administration, such as it is.

Based on the most recent figures available, the Green Party in England and Wales now have more members than the Conservatives and Lib Dems combined.

They're SO CLOSE to 200,000 members - not that far off from overtaking the Labour Party, even.

"In December, the Home Office revealed that the retrospective #FacialRecognition tool the police had been using to search the Police National Database was extremely racially disproportionate at certain settings, with false positive rates at 0.1% for white women and 9.9% for black women. Liberty Investigates found that the police not only knew about this, but actually lobbied to use the biased settings."

#UKPol #Policing #Racism

"Many years on from the first use of facial recognition technology by police in the UK, and half a decade since the Court of Appeal ruled against South Wales Police in Liberty’s world-first legal challenge to the technology, the public is finally being given the chance to have its say on facial recognition."

#JeremyCorbyn: "I can confirm to the House, under my leadership [of Labour] #Mandelson had no role, no influence & no part to play"

And of course, the establishment know that #Corbyn didn't represent the interests of the ruling class who #Mandelson represented. That was why Corbyn's leadership of the #LabourParty was ruthlessly destroyed ... and why #Starmer drove Corbyn out of the party.

#ukpol #PeterMandelson

#Starmer knew #Mandelson had stuck with #Epstein, but still appointed him. The excuses don't excuse. Confession won't redeem

But Mandelson is a sub-story. Two successive governments of the #UK, of opposing parties, have been disasters. Both elected with huge majorities, both disgraced in a few years, their leaders despised.

The UK has failed. It cannot govern itself.

Now the future belongs to radical changemakers, whoever they may be. Ignore the tweakers; this needs upheaval. By who?

It's really a shame to see people having a bad experience on Mastodon, and not getting the support they deserve. Toxic masculinity is obviously a massive and sadly growing problem.

after seeing the just wonderful treatment women are getting on the #Fediverse by mentioning toxic masculinity just once (hint: it's not grand in the slightest and really demonstrated toxic masculinity), i don't feel comfortable allowing my daughter on here once she reaches an appropriate age in a few years. the same goes with the fact she's multi-ethnic. i don't think the Fediverse is ready for women or people of color really. do better and for shame!

In #Starmer's Britain, being best mates with a massive pedo gets you expelled from the royal family, but not from the so-called "#LabourParty".

Ex-#PrinceAndrew lost his royal titles, but #Mandelson was left to resign from Labour ... and remains a Lord.

So, a company too small to have to file accounts in the UK manages to find £200k to donate to Reform?

More evidence that the funding of political parties (or limited companies that pretend to be so) needs drastic reform. Foreign interference, be that through social media or money bedevils British politics. The dominant parties in parliament are too reliant on funny money to be prepared to do anything about it.

Meanwhile extreme far right Yaxley Lennon backs far right "Reform"'s racist candidate.

I can’t vote in the actual election (not my ward) but I could and did vote at the selection, and I’m hopeful she can persuade local voters that there is a hopeful alternative for Britain and the North-West.

I wish I had the spoons right now to help with the campaign more directly but I just don’t sadly.

When I was at high school, the French lesson was divided into 2 classes, but as they were equal (in)compencies, they were labelled Class A and Class α (i.e. alpha).

Given the number of Tories that have now jumped ship to Reform, I think the same nomenclature should now be applied: Con A and Con α .... tagline: they're just as useless as each other!
