To now see a drug like that being vilified by people with no medical expertise is not only infuriating — it’s dangerous. This isn’t about protecting babies. It’s about pushing an extremist agenda that puts women’s lives at risk.

“You do not see a link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism in children.” Author of 'Expecting Better' Professor Emily Oster explains the studies on paracetamol use in pregnancy, after President Trump warned pregnant women against using the painkiller. #Newsnight

IMPORTANT 🧵 We've been seeing how RFK Jr & anti-vax lobby has been steadily and effectively reducing access to vaccines in the US. But it could happen in UK too. It's a threat worth considering given Malhotra's speech at Reform conf & big overlap between anti-vax and RW populsim. Read on! 1/11

Ed Davey, "Who was it who campaigned to rip up 27 return agreements, where, in the EU, the UK could legally and fairly return asylum seekers who had no right to be here" "Yes it was Boris Johnson and the Conservatives, but it was also Nigel Farage"

Sir Sadiq Khan the first London mayor to win a historic third term, was included in the 2018 Times 100 list of most influential people in the world and is currently living rent free in the presidents head being number 13 on the presidents ‘list of things I hate’ address at the UN assembly.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

So Reform / Farage want to deport hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of UK residents, turning the country into an effective police state, breaking treaties, and impoverishing the economy and health service? Just focus on all that. The moral gutter of politics.

I'll have more to say on Reform's proposals to scrap ILR at some point but for now I'll just note this - anyone telling you this is a popular idea doesn't know the polling. Overwhelming majority of public back giving people who work and pay taxes most or all rights after 5 years or less

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status. “They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. “Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

This is a great cover.

Dutch late night TV has its take

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Andrea Jenkyns has awarded herself an increase of £150K to “run her office” as Mayor of Lincolnshire. Council taxpayers will now have to fork out £262K per annum for her immense talent and expertise. Reform U.K. Ltd, always knowingly grifting.

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

Farage has resorted to threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding £885,000 out of thin air to buy a house. Let’s keep talking about it, he can’t get away with his corruption & threats will not work! #NigelFarage

SCULLY: Do you know there’s a wiki page that said, “Obama tan suit scandal”? OBAMA: You know what? I’m rocking that suit… And the weird thing was that there were all these pictures of Ronald Reagan in a tan suit and George Bush in a tan suit. I thought I looked better than them in it

Make Disney feel like Target.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Everyone should have free speech. Except leftists. And trans people. And Palestinians. And immigrants. And anyone who supports any of those people. And foreigners. And uppity women. And blacks.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.

The Labour Party, Keir Starmer & Shabana Mahmood would all do well to listen to (at least) the last 5 mins of this podcast, where Sturgeon concisely analyses the problem with Labour’s approach to tackling Farage & how to present a better argument about immigration podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Why does it take @cnn.com to report it correctly? www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/e...

There are one or two questions about Nigel Farage's tax affairs. Some reports say he deliberately avoided stamp duty, others are less sure. I just wonder whether the truth is being witheld from us. I don't know the answer to that, but it is a fair and legitimate question.

Disgraceful.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.
