Imagine seeing the images of ICE arresting Americans in their bed, some w/o any clothes, some of them children, & thinking: "This is it, this is how we'll win back the votes!" Imagine thinking a tory "ICE" force is what Brits want in a country that would simultaneously be deprived of human rights

Glasman has been peddling this guff for months. I remember thinking, when I saw this in July, how comical it was for a man so obviously dour, joyless, and angry to claim that, BuT fOr ThE wOkEz aNd tHeiR mAGic LaNyArDz, his life would be full of love and laughter.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia. It’s really that simple. (So many shameless hypocrites around.)

Utterly despicable.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester. Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

Really depressing but not unsurprising to hear and see commentators across the networks scramble to weaponise the terrible events and loss of life in Manchester yesterday. Maybe they could give it a day off and actually mourn the victims.

The pro-Palestinian marches are not a 'glorification of the death of Jews', they are a protest at the death of Palestinians. #bbcaq #bbcpm

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Fuck. Ing. Hell.

After clashing with Maurice Glasman recently, I've come to realise just how pernicious he and his Blue Labour movement are. We could discuss his chumminess with Steve Bannon and JD Vance, endless pandering to the far right and evident hatred of the Labour left. But there's something even worse. 🧵

The highest electricity prices in the world, the highest train fares in Europe and rivers full of sewage. It's almost as if privatisation was fundamentally flawed.

Trump’s former “spiritual advisor.”

Zack Polanski is sending out the message that you can both oppose Genocide and condemn attacks on jewish people in the UK. And it is driving the Media insane because they want to cancel Genocide protests.

Kemi Badenoch saying “the last time I checked, Northern Ireland did vote to leave” is so on-brand it hurts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Richard Tice during an interview "Keir Starmer literally used the words: take up arms and go for the enemy" What a lemon Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that. Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot. Make your mind up.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

The Times finds it "unacceptable" that people who came here legally in 2021 and have been living and working here since should allowed to stay. The sad decline of a once great newspaper into ignorant xenophobia and casual racism archive.ph/TFZY9

Here I am in March 2020 wearing the PPE that was available at the time for frontline services about to see an influx of extremely sick people with SARS-CoV-2 now known as COVID-19. I watched many die. Colleagues died. Michelle Mone should be in jail. And she should only be the first on a long list

Tory party’s long journey away from science, reason, responsibility, common sense and truth is complete

“Farage “broke Britain" with Brexit and is now, outrageously, capitalising on the vast damage he caused” Article argues there’s no need to mention Reform’s racism as the Brexit shitshow is failure enough. But that had its roots in racism too. So let’s do both. app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

In the WTAF department: Labour peer Lord Glasman has personally apologised to Farage for Starmer’s statement that Farage is a racist. “I’m ashamed. It’s a disgrace.” He went on Farage’s own GB News show. Glasman is the architect of Blue Labour, the ultra-conservative Labour pressure group.

It’s increasingly clear that convicted Russian influencer Nathan Gill was a senior member of Farage’s entourage. (Banks and Wigmore were also in and out of the Russian embassy sharing FBI files, RT talking points, and discussing gold and diamond privatisation deals)

Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs? Read Chloe Deakin's letter on Farage's fascism and racism at school.

Don’t bottle it Starmer. There is tsunami of criticism from the right wing media and their fanboys and girls for what you said at conference. Your speech gave us hope. Expose Farage & his band of racists, xenophobes & fascist grifting Putin apologists. The majority are behind that strategy.

This is great. It naturally follows that Musk can only get out of our politics if politicians and political journalists stop using the social media site he controls.

Reform whining about incitement against Farage is another misstep (just looks pathetic). After a summer where they got to control the narrative they're flailing around a bit now.

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!

She should be in prison. Making money out of death and other people’s suffering is an abominable crime! But make her the first and not the last to be brought to account.

People often claim it's a mistake to call far-right figures racist. But it's extremely telling how much they hate being called racist. Farage doesn't welcome it. He is afraid of it. And he has benefited from people's reticence about using it to describe his policies.

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

Pete Hegseth isn’t describing military strategy, he’s describing war crimes. Calling for ‘untied hands’ to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill without rules of engagement is a demand for lawlessness. No professional military on earth would follow that path.👇

Hugged a self-described racist jailed for inciting racial hatred at his party conference. Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated. Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

It’s like the papers are working with Farage to get him elected, weird.

Weird how The Times had Farage's "shocked" reaction to Starmer's speech published before Starmer's speech.

I cannot believe in almost three weeks with the weight of our media behind us, we are still none the wiser on who paid for dodgy Nigel’s house. He’s hiding something really bad isn’t he?

Unexpected stay in Morriston Hospital with wife's nasty infection. Typical of UK hospitals, it's brilliant, inspiring, frustrating, woeful, but, overall, magnificent. Without immigration, it would collapse overnight. The send them home morons are, stupefyingly, regular clients. #immigration

Krishnan Guru Murthy, "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?" Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country" Labour have gone utterly bonkers

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

When Reform's Nathan Gill is sentenced for bribery, he will be the third of Nigel Farage's former MEPs to be jailed for being corrupt, after Tom Wise (expenses fraud) and Ashley Mote (falsely claiming benefits). What is it about Farage that attracts crooks?

Wonder who else was on the Russian payroll? 🐸

My concern about the ID thing is not currently the ‘how?’ - though that’s important. It’s the ‘why?’ Why now? What is this really about? Do we really need more ammunition against immigrants when the mood music is so hideously hostile? Can’t we stand up to Reform by changing the sodding record?

Are we surprised that the ex-leader of Farage's Reform party in Wales was shilling for Russia while he was an MEP for Farage's Brexit party? No. We're really not. Not even a little bit. Corrupt autocrats ❤️ Corrupt autocrats www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"You don’t fight the politics of violence by quibbling with the details. You stamp it into a million pieces! You draw a f*cking line!" If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

His advisors are clearly, and I’ll say this politely… fucking shit. Corbyn’s were fucking shit as well. It turns out that political advisors are all absolutely shit at their jobs.
