NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I just revisited Tony Blair's 'forces of conservativism' conference speech in 1999 - two years into office. It's such a clear headed narration that balances people's continued frustration and what the government had delivered.

When your nan can't watch Cash in the Attic. When Traitors has gone. When GB News replaces Newsnight. When Antiques Roadshow and Strictly Come Dancing disappear from the box - all so that Donald Trump can sit on some fuck off gold throne and mock Britain - d'ya think people will be happier?

The BBC is ours. It's ours to love. Ours to criticise. Ours to shout at when we feel in the mood. And if Farage thinks that the way to win favour with voters is to stand around cheering as Trump takes down the BBC for $1 billion of personal enrichment then he's a bigger fool than anyone thought.

BBC buggered up big time but Trump has had a taste of his own medicine as he’s one of the biggest false news spreaders & liars. So go right ahead & sue them Trump, just like you do with American media, more of your lies will get exposed in the process! #BBC #Trump

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Trump was found as a matter of fact (unchallenged on appeal) by a US court to be an insurrectionist

We have to get wealthy people out of elected office.

Trump's White House & fawning hacks here don't really care about the 0.001% that the BBC gets wrong. They care about all the stuff it gets right.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

Politicians have chosen to be in the public spotlight. We choose intense scrutiny and everyone is entitled to an opinion. And that's right. But how do these nasty digs about physical appearance serve anyone? It's no wonder so many people - particularly women - are put off ever getting involved.

The Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee has called for an independent review plus simpler reporting, better collaboration between agencies, and a full assessment of the risk that landfill tax reform will increase other forms of waste crime. Read the committee's letter ⬇️

A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

“Let’s be clear, since a lot of people seem to be finding that difficult: most people who get upset if they see black or brown faces in adverts are racists. There are few other reasons for seeing diversity in advertising to bother anyone.” www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-s...

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility They kidnapped a disabled child!

This is a president who has sent the military into peaceful cities run by political opponents, and who authorises the destruction of what are pretty much random boats in the Caribbean to make a point about drug gangs. This would not normally be Peace Prize behaviour.

Just heard Chris Philp on BBC’s Today programme explaining why the Tories want to leave the ECHR. He claimed ECHR isn’t mentioned in Belfast Agreement - which is simply untrue. The UK govt agreed to incorporate it into NI law & give direct access to the courts (Strand 3). Why no BBC fact-check?

Hilarious response in the @telegraphnews.bsky.social to this video, riddled with inaccuracies (whoever said anything about death squads?!) I’ve submitted a complaint about falsehoods & requested an op-Ed for right of reply - which was, of course, not offered to me in advance of publication🤷‍♀️

The task is to get the government to focus on delivery - increasingly good signs there - and to stand up for progressive values - a work in progress. Conspiring about leadership changes is a waste of time.

The idea of replacing Starmer is just utter nonsense. He's just won an election with a huge majority. It would look foolhardy, sel-obssessed, chaotic, insane: classic Tory bollocks.

With every day that goes by, Starmer's silence allows Farage and the far-right to seize the narrative and fan the flames. This void is incredibly dangerous. Starmer needs to speak up, to condemn the rhetoric and to defend the conventions he has spent his entire career defending to this point.

There is a recurring message in the Bible. 🙏🏻It’s simple🙏🏻 If you think the book 📖 allows you to starve children 👶🏻keep medicine💉💊 from the sick😷and look away 👀 while people are slaughtered praying 🙏🏻 in churches🕍 or synagogues ⛪️, your ideology is flawed. #pinks #thebiblesays #loveoneanother

Peak rail fares scrapped on ScotRail trains. Scotland also has: Public ownership of water, lower water bills than England's. No university tuition fees for local students. No prescription charges, abolished in 2011. No two child benefit cap from March 2026. England must follow.

Tice and Farage are wrong about the responsibilities of the CofE. The CofE is established by law to look over the shoulders of politicians and remind them of their moral obligation to make ethical political decisions. So the Archbishop of York's comments are entirely appropriate.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... "There is, in other words, probably no single group of people – not in Britain or anywhere else – who are more prone to violence against women than the people now standing outside the hotels denouncing refugees."

The Labour Party is led by people who are convinced that their massive parliamentary majority was given to them by the wrong kinds of voters

I believe you are spot on

So at what point do we admit that Donald Trump is leading a coup d'etat against the American people and constitution, and that Nigel Farage is attempting the same in the UK? Or am I imagining this? #Conspiracy?

Greg Jackson, "Our biggest offshore wind farm is paid not to generate energy 71% of the time" "40% of all of the wind energy we could have from Scotland is paid to be not generated" "We need to fix this because this is what is pushing people's bills up"

@cnn.com why would you say this on your website?? There is NOTHING to indicate this is true, and everything points toward Ukraine…and the United States getting screwed.

Trump is Putin’s lapdog.

For the next few years, we should judge the success of economic policy on two factors: 1) stability - no big drops, no big spikes (that would be inflationary) and 2) a restructuring away from low-value services and towards construction and high-value production.

Crime is roughly half what it was in the 90s. Britain is still one of the safest countries in the developed world. So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape? The Bear provides the answer ⤵️

Last month, I warned that proscribing Palestine Action would result in the mass criminalisation of people who are not even members of the group. Now more than 500 people have been arrested. I voted against the proscription. We shouldn't be conflating protest with terrorism.

This is important.

Together we’re turning the tide on the absence crisis among our kids. Five million more days in school is the biggest improvement in a decade. I want to thank not just the parents but the school leaders, teachers & support staff who’ve made this happen. www.gov.uk/government/n...

I have just met some people who returned from the rally. They said it was taking 5-10 police officers to arrest a single protester and they simply couldn't cope. I wonder whether we will ever know what other more serious crimes went undeterred today because of the huge diversion of resources.

My write up of today's Palestine Action demonstration: “I’m holding a piece of paper, that’s not a terrorist act. A terrorist act is intentionally starving 2 million," one said. “I don’t know what to say to Palestinians, I’m so sorry it’s come to this.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The EU, UK and Ukraine will pragmatically extract whatever arms and sanctions against Russia they can from Donald Trump rather than seeking confrontation with the US. Europeans are not going to solve America's Trump problem for anti-Trump Americans, only Americans can do that.
