Call them out and ask them to recite on the spot, ask Farage to do it.

This policy is evil. Genuinely evil. Yet it has received no serious media scrutiny.

More extreme than the BNP's manifesto in 2010 which shows how extremist RW views have been normalised and this isn't as extreme as Restore.. BBC News - At-a-glance: BNP general election manifesto share.google/2fXZZ8t6qk8x...

I'd been repeatedly warned off writing short stories by agents & editors, but Help The Witch sold 14,000+ copies. Sadly my ex-publishers then collapsed, sending it out of print. But it's now been republished. You can get it here w/free international delivery: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

On April 3, I walked through the halls of the National Art Museum in Kyiv. On May 24, I cried looking at its wounds after the russian attack. My favourite painting from that April day: 🇺🇦 Anatolii Lymariev Fallen Angel, 1983–1985

Interesting that the idea of another EU referendum is regularly discussed on broascast media as something that would cause division and thus a bad idea. But plans to deport literally millions of people are discussed as administrative questions.

Yes Iain. Adam should tell the family *everything”. The constant undermining. The broken will-promise. The clonking cover up and Rhuarree’s anguish. The Bribery Of George. Where Johnny is. The location of the magic Ambridge crêche. The true nature of dark matter. *Everything”. #TheArchers

There's a situation unfolding in the land of online bookselling that I haven't discussed primarily because I have little information to share. An unknown company is making multi-volume purchases, and when I say multi-, I mean some of us have been getting 500 orders a week. For REALLY random books.

It would only be one small step on a boundary but Restore should return Routledge's £2500 donation to join Lowe's Cromwell Club of high value donors before June 18th byelection, given Routledge's advocacy of a new Hitler by 2939 + call for mass genocide, not deportations bsky.app/profile/sund...

When I say Restore are neo-Nazi I'm really not exaggerating. bsky.app/profile/sund...

I have a corollary theory that Britain became a rich country partly because our ancestors spent less time worrying that the weather would kill them in the next 24 hours.

No Sox!

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

You do not have to be polite when confronted with blatant racism. Call it out, every time. Feeling shame for failing to act is far worse than any social awkwardness you might feel.

Farage claims Russian hack! Doesn’t make the donation legal or declared. ”ask him about his connections to Russia & the consequences of Brexit, he'll put a stop to the conversation.” “Brexit was the best thing to happen for Russia...”👇 Where is the UK? www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...

Hi, not sold anything for a wee while, these pieces of original art are still available and I think they’re good and thought someone might want them. Though you know. Who knows? Thank you all for being supportive www.chloecumming.com

It's good to know Burnham is a member of the "legitimate concerns about immigration" club, now data shows immigration to the UK has been reduced by 82%. Xenophobia like all phobias is based on irrational fear. Burnham is wifully feeding the fear to win votes too.

Happy to report that the mass reporting of the nasty reviewing of the Queens Arms by Raise the Colours rotters was successful and Google deleted them Nice people have dropped by today. Bar people said they've had loads of people come in to show support throughout today+ also🙏for all the online help

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

A recurring finding of the Ipsos issues index is the higher salience of immigration in more affluent areas - esp the second quintile - rather than the most deprived areas. Most affluent: 43% Second most affluent: 47% Middle quintile: 44% Second most deprived: 36% Most deprived 37%

Immigration salience by party (top 3 issue) Reform: 83% (1st priority) Conservatives 33% (2nd priority) Labour 17% (5th priority) Green 16% (=6th priority) Ipsos, 8th-12th May 2026 www.ipsos.com/sites/defaul...

Meanwhile, Zack Polanski has had absolutely nothing to say online about this, despite regular posts. But interestingly he did have the time to share stuff attacking social media posts ostensibly from another party's candidate. The brass neck here is off the charts.

Reform are again saying this. BBC were clear it is a drop in immigration today. Broadcasters should challenge/correct inaccurate versions of claims the fall is about emigration

The sub-Arctic is a hotspot for celestial phenomena, making it the perfect place for observing auroras and other mysterious sights in the night sky.

Funny football 😂

55% want to believe it, so they can hang on to their so-called legitimate grievance against "too many foreigners coming over 'ere"

What does it say about the 55% whose perception about immigration is completely wrong? Their perception of levels of immigration has to be based on something entirely different & I think we know what that is. Folk need to stop pretending they have legitimate concerns about immigration, they don't.
