Sweet Jesus on a bike! Allowing these groups unrestricted access to government is bad enough. But almost certainly allowing them to instruct how to avoid FOI requests too. Government policy is being driven and controlled by transphobes who aren't even in government.

#BREAKING: Megachurch founder Robert Morris pleaded guilty Thursday to five counts of lewd or indecent acts to a child. Morris, who founded Gateway Church in Southlake, agreed to a plea deal during a hearing at the Osage County District Court.

Until a suspect has been identified, any media interviews in which people blame the Manchester attack on anti-Semitism is speculation. I’ve heard the same folks doing the rounds today claiming that “you can’t even be a Zionist in this country without being attacked”. Pure opportunistic speculation.

It seems that @skynewsrss.bsky.social has sent Philomena Cunk to conduct interviews in Manchester today. For ten minutes now, she's asked a Jewish couple how the situation makes them feel. Is it stressful? How worried are you about your granddaughter? Surreal.

🇫🇷 A giant screen, lots of cheering and applause: the scene inside La Caserne venue in trendy northeast Paris might feel like a sports bar. But the crowd there were watching live fashion, not football. ➡️ u.afp.com/SmkQ

I didn’t get the job. Crazy.

'Farage Boats' is a useful term and should be normalised.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time. This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.

Something that escaped me until now. Farage and Reform want to BAN DUAL CITIZENSHIP

🔴Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally Was Sponsored by a Convicted Fraudster Allegedly Behind Cryptocurrency ‘Rug Pulls’ The far-right rally was bankrolled by convicted fraudster alleged to be behind two cryptocurrency scams, Byline Times can reveal bylinetimes.com/2025/10/01/t...

So funny and true. 🍜🍽️

I created counter-fraud tools for the Cabinet Office during lockdown, hailed by Downing St as “star performers in the government’s Covid response”. Sunak refused to use them to prevent fraud in Covid grant applications. My team was told we were “busy enough” and didn’t need to check PPE suppliers.

Why does the taxpayer pay for Farage’s security? He sows hatred and should pay for the consequences. #FarageBrexitBoats

Lucy Powell has warned that Labour should not wave through a devastating trans bathroom ban 👇 Ripping up trans rights would be a disaster for Labour, for business, for women, and for the wider LGBT+ community. It's wrong. Labour needs to stop aping Trump and Farage, and protect our human rights.

They’ll close the company down. The cash is in Belize.

Let's see if the people who blame Labour for the behaviour of judges, give Labour credit for the behaviour of judges today. "Labour got us are money back!" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

95% know they are

Asked whether there was any hope that Labour could turn it around, Curtice replied: "The honest answer to that is no." www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

1. Don’t order offal. 2. Walk out if the veggie main is one beetroot at €31. 3. Stick to the set menu. 4. Learn to cook. 5. Don’t order bread; they’ll bring it anyway. 6. Three-course menus are a desperate, unhealthy attempt to live like the decapitated French aristocracy you so claimed to hate.

I can’t wait for Trump to be gone.

Steady, Joey Sausage is not like the milkman of olden days, doing house visits. There is a lively trade from the back of cars in Languedoc lay-bys in British bacon and sausages. It’s all a bit spivvy and desperate. Why can’t these migrants just integrate?

A total shitshow:

🤯 Supermarkets in Odesa also went under water: tomorrow the city will also have heavy rainfall…

Krusty here forced senior officers to travel to his pep talk, threatening to sack anyone on the spot that he didn’t like the look of.

What he means is that he draws a little picture of a KKK meeting at the bottom of each commission. Just to remind the generals what he's planning...

Provoking the Praetorian Guard always worked wonders for emperors, no? 🙏🏻

Will the US be back to the 1950s by 2028?

When Farage becomes Führer*, which towns will he attack first for being woke? * what his German-speaking kids call him every other weekend.

Declaring war on the US will definitely get him a Nobel Peace Prize. 😬

can't post video because of @bsky.app's video limit, but Trump just touted that drug prices in the US came down in recent months "in one case over 1,000%" 🥴

Farage says that Starmer is unfit to be Prime Minister. I agree with Farage on something. Aargh.

My op-ed for LBC on how, rather than confronting Reform, Starmer's rhetoric and policies are emboldening them. Labour needs to start making positive cases, improving lives, and challenging misinformation, rather reinforcing Reform's own narrative and scapegoating. www.lbc.co.uk/article/keir...

Gosh, Starmer is dull and monotonous. If this was going to save his career and revive his fortunes, it won't. And his focus on Reform UK is completely misplaced, given that Labour is losing far more support to the Lib Dems and Green party.
