It's easy to look at public statements purely through a prism of free speech. But words have consequences. Being *legally permitted* to say awful things, doesn't mean we must all go around saying them. The bare minimum should not be the most we can expect. ~AA www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Good Morning from Global Britain.

That might be Rory Stewart’s best pitch yet to be Tory leader. #Newsnight

Reform UK only offers empty promises. They don't know how to govern. "But the experience so far is that governing and running things is hard work. Easy political slogans and simple solutions are much more difficult to implement than say." https://bit.ly/49ekzmy

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

Breaking news: Nigel Farage and Reform have been secretly meeting with the extremists who helped BAN abortion in the USA. Since cosying up to them, Farage has started talking about limiting abortion. If Reform think they’re “taking back control” of women’s bodies, they can f*ck right off.

UK travellers should expect "four-hour queues" as new EU border system comes into force. Brexit really is the gift that keeps giving www.itv.com/news/2025-10...

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

Just a reminder that the far right are always keen to attack education because it’s easier to sell their hate to an under-educated population.

In the three schools I have worked in, I have never even heard the mention of critical race theory. Nigel is so desperate to bring the divisive culture wars of the US to the UK that his lies become increasingly emboldened.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto. It's Brexit 2. And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

*gasp*

Keir Starmer: “Think about it- when was the last time Nigel Farage said something positive about Britain’s future? He can’t. He doesn’t like Britain. he wants to turn our proud country into a competition of victims. “

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Starmer and Badenoch are handling the far-right march all wrong on.ft.com/4pq97dk | opinion

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Only 4 flags? I've seen more than that outside the big Sainsbury! Why does Kemi hate Britain?

He’s such a whiny fraud. Good to hear @jamesrball.com reference this earlier… www.theguardian.com/culture/2019...

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy
