Politico: "MPs should consider deleting X, according to a committee led by Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle... "On social media, the report said MPs should feel “empowered to step away from platforms that pose more harm than benefit.” Absolutely. Please get on with it.

It’s a shame bbc as yet have no profile on #Bluesky #bbclaurak #bbcbreakfast long overdue.

Love this idea @andrewgraystone.bsky.social for PM! (I suspect there may be other good policies too!)

Looking forward to seeing you all in Worcester!

Visit the US? I mean, c'mon, who would be that stupid!!

As a lifelong hate-watcher of #BBCQT it's been incredible to see the tone shift in last night's prog with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on. It should have never been that hard to call for common sense - and actually popular - policies. Someone is actually doing it. Quick 🧵

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia. I disagree. RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Me too

So Labour want to: - Reform the ECHR (for the worse) - Make life much much tougher for Indefinite Leave to Remain visa holders and applicants - Bring in draconian extra powers to police protest - Widen facial recognition - Bring in compulsory national ID - Deport more people Not very Labourish.

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'Blood letting' is one of the best descriptions of these exercise-based treatments for M.E. that ive heard. Thank you @drmarkburnley.bsky.social for this insight.

Why is Keir Starmer obsessed with Nigel Farage?

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected. Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

Codependence isn’t always obvious, but recognising its impact can be transformative.

Stop trying to balance the books on the backs of the poor! #LabourNotLabour #LabourParty #KeirStarmer #Conference

A tragic reminder that the migrants crossing to England are families, women, children and elderly, not just “undocumented men of fighting age” as per Reform BS rhetoric Two women die during failed Channel crossing attempt 😢

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely this. "Immigration crisis" is largely manufactured and mainstream media have played more than their fair share!.

Looking for a snack

I'm with Zack on this one. Stop the bullshit! (On immigration)

If you’ve never rioted outside a church or a courthouse because of the fact that over 70,000 british rapists escape punishment each year, then I really don’t think you care about British women being in danger from migrants. I think you just hate Muslims and brown people.

Faced once more with the question of "who is this for?" Is there really a population that is attracted by Labour but wants immigration to be tougher in a vaguely specified way? And are they larger than the population who are put off by the same approach?

Spending the week re-assuring nervous progressive MPs and voters that a change of tack is coming only to drop a 'Farage is right but vote for me ed' in the Telegraph is peak StarmerBall.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

There are two experienced women ministers running to be deputy in the Labour Party, but media is obsessed with the men

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Why Keir Starmer's refusal to explicitly condemn Nigel Farage's immoral plan to tear thousands of families and communities apart will only help clear the Reform leader's path to Downing Street bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

Seriously...

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

🚨NOW 426 DAYS since our nuclear test veterans - national heroes in their eighties - requested a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss how he will honour the commitment Labour made to their campaign for justice and compensation in opposition youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...

Interesting short thread on Farage ancestry

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Guardian “The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever” www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Wow. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is on fire here. A speech worthy of your 6 minutes of time, and one which shines a piercing critical light on the current Labour leadership who have tragically strayed so far from their roots.

"Drink some water and touch grass" is my favourite advice of the day so far!

Be mindful of the current narrative. When the right wing speak out they are lauded in the press for their ‘freedom of speech’. When the left wing criticise them , with our freedom of speech, we are woke lefty radicals.

@privateeyenews.bsky.social nails it again!

This & the rape last week in Oldbury should be national news but will be ignored by newspapers too excited at the thought they might get to play at being court press for fascists
