This is beyond appalling.

No. 10 spokesperson responding to a far right idea: "lol how will you pay for Dachau?" No. 10 spokesperson three days later: "On reflection, Dachau is bad"

The more I think about this the more fucking incensed I am, honestly. WTF Labour? Frog Features declares he wants to deport legal residents who have done all their paperwork (and paid a fucking fortune to the Home Office, by the by!) and the most you can do is criticise his *Maths*?!

Flights have been halted to Copenhagen Airport after multiple drones were spotted over the Øresund Strait, Reuters reports.

Wow, Mason grows a backbone when interviewing Davey, in a way he's never done when interviewing Farage. 100% proving Davey right.

The BBC showed the Farage and Yusuf presentation unbroken for an hour this morning. No interrogation of the facts or policies, just a party political broadcast, free publicity for a party with 5 MPs.

Their coverage post 2016 did not reflect the fact that 48% of people voted to Remain in the EU. As far as the BBC was concerned the Leave vote was 100%. That wasn’t an opinion poll, but an actual vote.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

The cost of care always comes as a shock - probably because people don't think about it until it hits them personally. And that's why no govt is prepared to have an honest conversation about social care & how we pay for it. There is no strategy for long term care so it is dictated by the market😱

Throughout my life some things have been much cheaper than I anticipated (washing machines), others much costlier (curtains!), but finding out that one week of respite care in a Suffolk care home is £1,950 has blown my mind in a way that hard drugs could not.

The world’s media should laugh when reporting this. The guy couldn’t even pronounce the name of the drug. People will die - partly because of what Trump just announced, but mainly because the media reported as fact.

😂😂😂

And, because these utter fucks have slashed education programmes and defunded healthcare, fewer children will get diagnosed and get the help they need, and they will claim they cut autism in half. GUARANTEED this is what will happen. It's just too, too depressing.

If you’re in the Eastern District of Virginia and you get a jury summons, maybe don’t sit this one out. You could end up on a Jim Comey or Tish James case.

Notable that Trump hadn’t even learned the pronunciation of “acetaminophen” (the generic US name for paracetamol) before he made this major statement on its supposed link to autism.

Holy shit

Trump says babies should have vaccinations spaced out over several years. Children will die because of this disinformation. Many childhood vaccines protect against diseases that are most dangerous in early life. Doses spread over years will cause delayed/reduced protection for the child & others.

This is a woeful interview by Chris Mason of the BBC - accusing @eddavey.libdems.org.uk of many of the things that he and his institution stand accused of. - Accusing Davey of being obsessed with Nigel. (Look in the mirror Chris) - Complaining that Davey is acting 'like Donald' for calling them out.

Reform's anti-migrant plans would destroy the NHS and rip families apart, campaigners warn “The effect on the NHS and social care workforce would be no less than catastrophic, with thousands of essential, dedicated staff being shown the door.” www.morningstaronline.co.uk/article/refo...

Luxembourg, Monaco and Malta recognize Palestine. Belgium, legally, does not yet do so, but imposes conditions. 155 UN Members recognize Palestine.

This sort of trashy behaviour - by people who know better - is terrible for our democracy. And thank you to Yougov for doing a decent poll. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, thousands of Ukrainian children have found safety in the UK – but many still face uncertainty, disruption, and trauma. They deserve security, stability, and the chance to thrive in welcoming communities.

It cost Disney $5 billion to get back to square 1 😂 fascist pleasing idiots!

We’re at #LDConf discussing 'How can liberals win the argument on immigration?' With @lisasmartmp.bsky.social @markpackuk.bsky.social @sundersays.bsky.social + US migration expert Frank Sharry.

Lovely to bump into @timfarron.bsky.social at #LDConf. We swapped #running injury stories 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️😂😂😂 #GettingOld

My favorite running gag from this site is Karen Hoyland, international neurotypical villain.

Now listening to the #LDConf debate on #fleecehold (#leasehold) in England. London Cllr reports on people left with unsellable, uninsurable properties sold by developers who go bankrupt, shut down their co then set up a new Co & start building homes again 😱 #housing

The fact they don't have detailed plans. The fact it's ethically repugnant. The fact that it would be an economic disaster. All of these things are what chaotic authoritarianism looks like. As we're seeing in the US.

To remove indefinite leave to remain from people who already have it they'd have to dismantle our entire system of rights legislation and probably end judicial independence. But they could do that with a majority. They've said they'd do that.

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism. The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life. samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

Good news is in short supply right now, but this is genuinely such good news. So pleased to hear this for Alaa Abd el Fattah and his family who have campaigned so hard, after so many long years suffering in prison. #freealaa www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The Lib Dems have passed a strong motion in support of Hong Kongers and hardening criticism of China. ‘We should recognise the Chinese Communist Party for who they are. We should not naively fall into the arms of false friends because the geo-political landscape is frightening and confusing.’

Good to see CPS publicly retracting their nonsense numbers here. I explained their errors to them when they first published, and wrote it up here - they simply didn't understand what the OBR was saying. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Labour walk past an open undefended goal again. Instead of attacking Farage's Trumpian craziness on the grounds of morality and sanity, all they can think of doing is claim he's got his sums wrong and can't make something work that should NEVER even have been considered in the first place.

A lot of sensible people get squeamish at labelling Nigel Farage “far-right”, but his policy of cancelling the legal status of tens of thousands of settled immigrants can not be politically described as anything else. Reform are campaigning on a policy of cruelty & xenophobia.

Yup. They have not in any way or form thought this through.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

I presume that means he plans to deport his own foreign girlfriend - you know, the one who may or may not have helped him avoid £44k of tax?

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

Alternatively the TV news channels could broadcast the policy debates at the #LibDems conference given the number of MPs they have m.youtube.com/@libdems/str...

That’s my girlfriend deported then. And a friend of mine. And another friend’s mum. And another friend’s wife. Surely this is the tipping point that makes people realise that Farage and his mob are nothing more than pound shop Nazis. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Everyone has friends, neighbours, colleagues and people we rely on who Farage and Reform want to deport.

This weekend a good friend made the very good point to me, that people say it's too soon to use the word fascist until it's actually too late

This has to be a moment of reckoning. Broadcasters must focus on the practical consequences and make them clear. It would be utter, society altering chaos. That should dominate the approach, as it would coverage of any other party's policies.
