Just not sure, really not sure, that I'd follow Kemi Badenoch as an example of the USA as a country that is protecting human rights without being in the ECHR.

Kemi Badenoch doesn't seem to understand that the ECHR was set up to protect everyone from people like her.

Oh, what a shame. Our Nigel's fans believe he's an honest man-of-the-people type. And all because he carelessly omitted to mention little things like being a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion, or raking in a million quid whilst an MP. Silly, forgetful old sausage... observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Deporting 750,000 people, even setting aside the hideous cruelty, would be economically idiotic.

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

Ben Houchen with possibly the worst take on freedom of speech I have ever heard. Apparently, it's like breaking in or stealing - you can do it but within limits. 😱

Feel the powey

So easy to spot many pro Palestinian terrorists, no balaclavas, no St George’s flags wrapped around them, not attacking the Police, not throwing petrol bombs.. It’s the grey hair. Walking sticks, white sticks, mobility scooters that give them away.. the thugs

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Meta will listen into AI conversations to personalize ads

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Take the good news seriously too

Meta is building a $10B data center in rural Louisiana that will use more daily power than New Orleans in peak summer, to be powered by 3 new gas plants. It's unclear how much Meta will pay toward gas plants, raising concerns that residents could bear the cost through higher utility bills.

A huge achievement but still a long way to go: As @mumsforlungs.bsky.social highlight, although London has now lowered nitrogen dioxide pollution levels to UK legal limits, these limits are still 4 times higher than WHO recommendations to protect people's health. 1/6

Water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, livestock deaths. But other than that, what's not to love about fracking? www.texastribune.org/2023/10/31/t...

'Europe is in its “most difficult and dangerous situation” since the end of the second world war, Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has said at an EU summit dedicated to advancing the continent’s battle readiness by the end of the decade.' www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

ICE Is Buying a Tool to Track Hundreds of Millions of Phones, Without Warrants Trump is quietly building a surveillance state, and almost no one is paying attention.

French special forces have seized a Russian oil tanker off the coast of France, suspected of being used to launch drones over Europe. The vessel, part of Russia’s shadow fleet circumventing sanctions through illicit oil sales, is believed to have served as a drone launch platform between

The Guardian’s investigation into these vastly popular forums casts new light on the scale of far-right disinformation, which appears to be disseminated at industrial scale in social media groups.

They can smear me, threaten me, drag my name through the dirt… But I will not be silent. I will not be small. I will not disappear. Because my silence would be their victory, and I will not gift it to them. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda

Who is inciting and advocating violence?

Keir Starmer, "When we were in the EU we could return asylum seekers back to France and to other EU countries" - Brexit took away this right

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Spot-on.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Kushal Sureka and wife Preety, moved to UK January 2020 to work as chartered accountants. In past 5 years they paid £100,000 in tax (Farage & Tice used tax havens to avoid paying UK tax) contributing to society & have indefinite leave to stay They’re more valuable than 2 tax dodging millionaires🤷🏼‍♂️

This story is even weirder when you get into the details: “El-Hakim said he had been lured into the scheme by a person who went by "AI WORLD" on the social media platform Telegram … El-Hakim said he received $500 each time he completed a request, earning a total of about $5,000.”

No mention of Nigel and no picture of the nephew so women can be on their guard if they see him. So weird. Imagine if it was a relative of Starmer's or an asylum seeker.

"Carter-Ruck, London’s premier libel firm, tried to help the fraudsters behind the multibillion-dollar OneCoin crypto scam by throwing doubt on a police investigation. They also reveal how the firm made threats of legal action in order to “send a clear message” to whistleblowers"

Why bother getting a chickenpox vaccine if a ‘chickenpox party’ could do the trick? Our new explainer looks at the benefits of the vaccine to children and pregnant women, as well as some false claims about its risks.

If I were James Comey's anonymous FBI friends (you know he's got them), I'd just start leaking every single thing I knew about the WH Felon's criminal enterprise(s). Including his conspirators. Past and present. Including hard evidence. Every damn thing.

For nations the choice is now between two authoritarian, non-democratic giants. One does not impose its values on you, the other does nothing but, including pushing its culture war down your throat. One has a plan for addressing climate change, the other screams Drill, baby drill.

Interesting thread. Christina is quite right about the MHRA, which is in law simply an agency of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with no separate legal personality.

Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...
