Nigel Farage is not a serious politician, he’s just a xenophobic carnival barker, a Temu Enoch Powell with a megaphone and pink trousers, screaming any nonsense that gets him attention. He’s a millionaire investment banker cosplaying as a common man. Don’t be fooled by the mask. It’s always a grift.

First they came for trans people, and we stood up. Then they came for immigrants, and we stood up. When they come for abortion rights, voting rights and science, we'll still be standing. Stand with us and we'll win, together. Join us. greens.scot

It’s long past time Palestinians were accorded the same rights to life, freedom and self-determination we all but take for granted. This announcement is welcome, but much more action is needed to end the genocide in Gaza. We cannot continue to watch this mass murder play out on our phones.

There is no illegal way to claim asylum. The UK does not provide “safe, legal” routes to claim asylum from abroad for all but a few nationalities, like Ukraine. Everyone else has to be in the UK. No human is illegal. Want a just, ethical asylum system? Join us. greens.scot

I've read the first one in this series & can highly recommend. Must get onto the second soon.

Must remember to plug my books during the apocalypse. HEY, WANNA READ A FANTASY SERIES ABOUT POLITICS, MANIPULATION AND TRUTH WITH SOME COOL MAGIC AND DEMONS AND BROKEN PEOPLE IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH MYSTERIES AND TWISTS AND STUFF?

I may have written an entire series about this.

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

What kind of people declare anti-fascists to be ‘terrorists’? 🤔 It’s staring us in the face, people. It’s right there.

Politicians and economists pretend forecasts are facts. But they’re not. They’re guesses. In this video, I explain why fiscal rules based on forecasts are absurd and why we must plan on the basis of present needs, not imagined futures. youtu.be/YKAZR1GrJ-s?...

Literally don’t even know how to access it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

This is the state of play. This is how anti-trans hate can affect everyone. When the wife of a world leader is not immune to having to prove she's a woman to satisfy bigots, what hope do most trans and non-binary individuals have of being able to live our lives in peace www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Please take a moment and express our gratitude to Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert for their bravery in the face of the Trump’s attacks on the First Amendment. They sacrificed their jobs to spread the truth about Donald Trump and his Fascist Regime. For that we are eternally grateful #ProudBlue

A totalitarian movement must never achieve its goals, as that would eliminate the need for the movement itself. Even in victory, new enemies must be created in order to justify further cruelty and domination.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The Free Speech crowd are awfully quiet… 🤫

Starmer is a coward with appalling judgement who’s being terribly advised. He’s doing to hand England to Farage on a plate unless he resigns and lets someone who knows what they’re doing take charge.

How many more fascists saying blatantly fascist things do we need to read before it’s OK to call the fascists fascists on TV?

They really think deleting that made even the slightest difference. This is why people laugh at them all the time, this is unacceptable levels of stupidity for a governing body. Link to "deleted" 🙄 article: nij.ojp.gov

if you ever wondered what I would be like without all that SFF nonsense I keep banging on about, this is your chance to find out! Verona in Autumn is on sale now #booksky - also other titles, but most importantly, it's MEEEEEEE!

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Well, this is embarrassing, Keir. 😳

Tricky. 🤔

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Writeopolis returns tonight! 8:30pm, live in the Discord with @justinleeanderson.com discord.gg/GYX77YQT

This is clearly incitement. "Fight" is not figurative here. It's literal.

Season 12 returns this week with the amazing Justin Lee Anderson! @justinleeanderson.com is the author of the Eidyn saga, a twisted fantasy road trip through a kingdom based on the history, mythology and etymology of Edinburgh! The latest in the series, The Damned King is out now!

Been waiting (not so patiently) for The Damned King by Justin Lee Anderson since The Bitter Crown came out. Can. Not. Wait. Props to the @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social for a stellar set. #BookMail #BookSky @justinleeanderson.com

Och, past me is awfy good to present me. Special edition of The Damned King by @justinleeanderson.com Actually on Ch17 of the audiobook, but was looking forward to this one. I mean, how sexy are those sprayed edges. Love @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #booksky

I have just finished reading The Damned King by @justinleeanderson.com (Book 3/4 in The Eidyn Saga) & I am broken… What a truly terrific story, my hands were shaking with nerves on several occasions as I read the final chapters this morning. How long do I have to wait for book 4?

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

Me, seeing celebrity news about a couple’s divorce in my social media feed:

Look what's just arrived in the post! Thanks @orbitbooks.bsky.social @justinleeanderson.com

One small point on ‘pull factors’. Knowing that the U.K. has a fast, efficient and fair system for assessing asylum applications would only be a pull factor for good and genuine asylum seekers. It would be a deterrent for others.

Check out @jamreads.com review of The Damned King! #YouAreNotReady

Labour's attitude to Reform increasingly, 'if you can't beat them, join them.'

I know this is only the latest betrayal of LGBTQ+ people, after a very long list of betrayals. But surely nobody can consider Labour a party of equality and human rights after this.

Season 12 kicks off next week with the amazing Justin Lee Anderson! @justinleeanderson.com is the author of the Eidyn saga, a twisted fantasy road trip through a kingdom based on the history, mythology and etymology of Edinburgh! The latest in the series, The Damned King is out now!

Don’t forget this was a @scottishgreens.org policy. 🚂 💰

It's very simple. The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money. Not the people with hardly any money. It really shouldn't need explaining.

Book 42 of #adamreads2025 down - The Damned King by @justinleeanderson.com ! Once again the stakes get raised in this excellent series! The twists and turns continue, and I'm gutted that I now need to wait for the next one - definitely going to binge reread the lot when that comes out 😁

Sign me up! 🫡

If you literally believe some people shouldn’t exist, or that you should get to dictate who they’re allowed to have sex with and then whether they should be forced to have a child, and they don’t want you in their lives as a result, that’s called the consequences of your actions. Suck it up.

This is a perfect description of last night’s conversation! ❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to @waterstonesargyle.bsky.social last night, and especially to @annabelcwrites.bsky.social @cameronjohnston.bsky.social and @megintransition.bsky.social. I look forward to hearing what you all think about The Damned King.
