One of the largest, if not largest, far-right rallies marches through London. Police attacked. And nothing, zilch, from the Prime Minister. I’m afraid he’s the wrong man for this time. You cannot stay silent when faced with fascism.

For the first time in my life the social norms that kept a lid on nationalist fascist racism; that reclaimed the flag; have stalled. The lack of actual vocal leadership for us to rally around - for the pro-democracy, pro-rule of law, anti-violent, majority - is now becoming an existential problem.

The difference between the scrutiny is astonishing. The BBC trying to over-correct are now actively championing a Reform Government. Good luck BBC when you get your wish.

This is how you do it #Welcome

Starmer giving interview to BBC - BBC choose to play split screen of boats of migrants seemingly on a loop until it switches to our “concerned citizens” shaming the national flags.

I don’t know what this party is. It certainly doesn’t uphold any of the values that had me, perhaps naively, door knocking for them last year. It’s one thing to be asleep at the wheel. It’s quite another to take issue with practicalities of mass deportation rather than treating it as a moral issue

The laziness and implied bias of the BBC here is extreme - "No 10 did not comment" presumably because the CPS and courts are independent, but there's no attempt to find anyone who would argue the opposite view, just the unchallenged whine of someone who called for asylum seekers to be burnt to death

Pride without prejudice x

An abomination. An affront to free speech and an acute threat to the consensus on terrorism www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

But are Reform really “making the political weather” as you, so uncritically say, Chris Mason, or are you making it for them by hyperventilating over each grubby little Tory-Reform-reshuffle, without *ever* properly scrutinising the howling failures of these deeply unpleasant, grifting clowns?

This may well be a test for the inhabitants of Bluesky. Regardless of what folk think of Labour and/or Reeves, do you show concern for someone who looks distressed/poorly, or do you revel in that?

It would, obviously, be asking too much for our media and political class to care more about the repeated, state-directed criminal massacres of starving civilians in Gaza than what some rappers say at Glastonbury. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On the plus side: we're returning to that blissed-out period in the noughties when a £ was worth two $ and we could holiday like kings in the US. On the down side: We can't actually go to the US because they'll arrest us.

They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.

These people are heroes

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"

We celebrated 40 years of Mildmay Hospital’s reopening and the start of our commitment to HIV care yesterday - a moment to celebrate, reflect, reconnect and share food, music, and memories with staff, patients and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who made it so special. #Mildmay40 #HIVCare

I think the fact that GMB is debating the merits of pride flags is rather terrifying and reflects where we are with LGBTQ+ lives at the minute.

I think it also shows that coming after trans lives are really about coming after all of us.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Reform on #bbcquestiontime AGAIN. And represented by their not-chairman Zia Yusuf - not even an accountable elected official. Far too much coverage of Reform on the BBC and too light of touch in challenging their policies (“policies”). The media are creating this monster. #questiontime.

If a government with over 400 seats and 4 years left to govern cannot summon the courage to level with the public on social care then I despair at the capacity of our political system to ever deliver the change we need.

I'm not saying that Vance has angered God, but if he offers to pray for you, it might be best to politely decline

I’m not saying anything but I’ll let you connect the dots. #PopeFrancis

Starmer's meeting with Trump went surprisingly well yesterday. But that has all changed today. No State visit. And a full tilt towards Europe is now urgent.

Better get to 5%

There is no way a state visit can happen now, surely?

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

@maitlis.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com Hi both. What’s your take? Did Musk perform two Seig Hiels?

Is there a blocklist of people who are posting perfectly sensible things during Strictly Come Dancing? #Strictly I can cope with the fascism. But that. There are lines.

Allison Pearson forgot the police can check their bodycam footage and it turns out her account was "wholly inaccurate and misleading". What a surprise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Vote Trump, Get Mumps #RFKNutbag

Matt Gaetz as Attorney General? This is as insane as it is frightening.

Do have deck.blue now. Tx to all those of you who helped me with it. Hard to say how happy this has made me today. 😅 I know, i kow.. But the joy of the small things..

There are valid reasons why MPs may vote against #AssistedDyingBill. But in doing so, I think it confers a responsibility to then campaign for 100% hospice funding and uniform availability of palliative care. It’s not okay to vote no and then leave things as they are. #AssistedDying

Finally decided it’s time to actually use this place - it seems so much calmer than #xitter.
