As an unwilling connoisseur of agitprop, Iran really hit it out of the park with "we're fighting the Epstein Class that either rapes children or kills them"

We are demanding that IENs working in all settings must continue to be eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain after five years. Whether you’re impacted by the changes or not, write to your MP today to demand the UK government scrap the proposed changes. bit.ly/45qa50U

Was overjoyed to hear a commentator for @lbc.co.uk on @mrjamesob.bsky.social yesterday, repeating word for word what Trump actually said. Reporters need to stop paraphrasing what thst man says and making him sound intelligent. He’s an enabled idiot puppet. Stop with crediting him with eloquence

The self control it takes to remain professional and not write Oakeshitt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The redacted email to Aragon said two foreign girls had been buried on Epstein's orders "somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro" and that the two had died "by strangulation during rough, fetish sex."

Kent County Council latest: Seven KCC councillors have defected to Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain tonight. They are Paul Thomas, Brian Black, Oliver Bradshaw, Maxine Fothergill, Isabella Kemp, Robert Ford, and Dean Burns. Most had already been kicked out of Reform, with the exception of Burns.

The Green Party's Caroline Lucas humiliates Reform UK's Zia Yusuf on #Newsnight "Your position is utterly incoherent" "You have provided no evidence that it's the Equalities Act that discriminates against white working class boys"

Trump threatens more attacks on Nigeria unless their prince returns his money

Only 28% of Brits understand about the close links between Farage and Putin Let's spread this more widely, because Reform represents a serious threat to our national security As well as our democracy

How about just rejoining the EU and carrying on like the whole 'Brexit' thing never happened? What is Starmer waiting for? A Reform government that will deepen Brexit and make the UK the official 51st state?

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

Every day another impeachable offence, every day nothing happens. Why are the Americans so passive in the face of the destruction of their country? Minneapolis is a clear outlier, it has not provoked solidarity, it is not leading to change.

In the last 60 minutes, the President has posted 56 times on Truth Social.

There’s something weirdly convenient about discovering that Britain is broken only after you yourself have spent years running the place. A coincidence, I’m certain. (Warning: Swearier than usual).

Episode 3 of the podcast by the Bear (@bearlypolitics.co.uk) and Emma (@monkemma.bsky.social) is quite brilliant. I urge you to listen to it. You can do so here. monkdebunks.substack.com/p/no-go-lond...

I applied to be a councillor. Was asked if I had said anything disreputable on SM. Forgot how much I’ve used the C word in the last year. I stand by my prolific use of the C word & guess my middle age political career is over before it began 🤷‍♀️😂

Proper LOLs at Suella Braverman defecting to Reform... The party that’s spent years attacking the Home Office has just welcomed the person who actually ran the Home Office. Brilliant work lads.

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

What a loathsome hypocrite Toby Young and the rest of them are

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

there will prob be a global boycott of US goods by the end of his term

How it started ... How it's going

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Fuckety fuck. Fuck fuck fuck

Just so I'm understanding this right if Iran shoots protesters our country will have a military response. But when OUR government shoots protesters it's okay and the people deserve it .

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV. The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence. This is not protection. This is occupation.

How quickly these things become normal is causing real cognitive dissonance. How is life so normal yet we’re living a history that is repeating and we were told frequently would never happen again?

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Normalise calling X "X, the child pornography site"

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

You know how one day the geeky kid in school snapped & punched the bully & then the teacher came running to protect the bully? That’s the UK government…

This is a serious question - where are they going to export the indigenous people to? It makes sense to send the ones who say ‘I’m Irish’ back to Eire (don’t worry Ireland - no one wants that for you) but where would they send the real true North Americans?

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Quick update on the political situation in the US: the government is led by a billionaire pedophile who believes he can murder American citizens with impunity. Seems bad!

At a time when billionaires and oligarchs own the majority of our press, when local journalism is in decline, and social media is rife with misinformation and abuse, there has never been a greater need for citizen journalism Who funds us? No one...except you. Become a friends of Bylines supporter:

This has all been a campaign of desensitisation then implementation. Incrementally lowering tolerance, then unleashing horrors. The result? Instead of condemnation of child abuse, women sexually violated en masse and murder by the secret police, we have “debate” We are the social experiment.

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt. The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

All of this 👇🏼 Labour have lost me and a good few card carrying labour people. I’ll also not be going back. I agree that they’ve done some good things but all overshadowed by their constant appeasement and blaming ‘migrants’. Could not be more disappointed with this govt.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

The second instalment of my Sisyphean debunk of 75 supposed Brexit “Benefits” will be out later today. Yesterday I looked at whether we got all the same trade deals for free when we toppled out of the single market, and more importantly, whether maintaining the status quo is actually a benefit. 🐻

So why is Starmer doubling down on failure?

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

1. I hate to see good people wasting their time and energy. And there’s perhaps no greater waste of time and energy than seeking to change the trajectory of the human population. It’s not just futile, but also a massive distraction from things we CAN change. This thread seeks to explain why. 🧵1/12

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard
