The BBC 10 o’clock news says the right wing idea of ethnic minorities being given preferential treatment in criminal justice is likely to become a “growing fault line in our politics” WITHOUT POINTING OUT THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. What’s the point of the news if it doesn’t correct disinformation?

Should Nigel Farage be arrested for inciting riots? Like - Yes RT - Instantly

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

Even his family can't stand him... #Makerfield #stopreform #stopthefascists

“An internal briefing prepared for NHS leaders in February 2026, seen by Democracy for Sale, says that even after ‘optimisation’, ‘processing time is reported as taking 4-5 minutes’ while similar processes take only ‘30 seconds’ with current systems.” https://goodlaw.social/i108

Reform UK's candidate for Makerfield, Rober Kenyon, has "mothballed" his Facebook account in the past few days and deleted all of his friends. This because of his friends was Gary Raikes, leader of the New British Union, the self-styled successor organisation to Moseley's British Union of Fascists.

Reform UK had selected Robert Kenyon as their candidate. He campaigned on being in the British Army, but was just a British Army reservist Lance Corporal.

Robert Kenyon is friends with Gary Raikes on Facebook. Raikes, a former BNP and Britain First member, leads the New British Union – the modern successor to Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists. This is who represents Reform in Makerfield.

I realised today that Andy Burnham lives only a 15 minute drive from my old primary school in Padgate. I was very happy there. If he wants to rejoin the EU and introduce PR, I see a small sliver of hope. Voters of Makerfield, please do the right thing in this situation and support Andy.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Time to consider the options.

Donald Trump is full of hot air. And now he’s inflating your bills too. Unlike Reform and the Conservatives, we actually have a plan to bring them down.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

Can we have this in London please. What’s not to like?

How Viktor Orbán Bankrolled the Network Around Reform UK

🇭🇺 "That both Moscow and Washington were such avid supporters of the same candidate speaks volumes for how the global order has been redefined. Make no mistake: this was not just a defeat for an autocratic ruler, but a knockback for a whole ideology." 👇 Our blog on Hungary's historic evening.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... And a decent man. How toxic the RW press were for their evil pile on about how he ate a bacon sandwich and the Ed stone (really who gives a toss?) Instead they endorsed Cameron, his austerity and his Brexit! And the ppl who read this vitriol are the kingmakers.

Let’s face facts, Badenoch and Farage want Britain to be the 51st state of Trump’s America. I do not.

I'm so glad we have her in office...

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran. Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader. He supported it then, and he should support it now.

Come on Gordon and Denton, make history! Turn a 13,500 Labour majority GREEN! Hammer that nail into Starmer's casket!

"If I’m elected on Thursday, it will send shockwaves through the political establishment and show that the old way of doing politics is over... The establishment’s days are numbered." Thursday's stakes could not be higher. Read more from Hannah Spencer ⤵️

Rachel Reeves can't ignore the student loan crisis any longer. Sign this petition now to show that we won't stop until it's fixed: the.organise.network/campaigns/ra... What Lab (THEY introduced this!!!) has done to the young is UNFORGIVABLE! (More that most issues- this is particularly shocking)

Repairing our relationship with Europe would boost growth, reduce red tape and reconnect us with our largest trading partner. It's time to return to our rightful place at the heart of Europe.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

I just emailed my MP to support stable government and stand against Reform. You can too: holdtheline.org.uk

What's that you say, Anas? That you tweeted this last year in 2025 about your 'old friend' Peter Mandelson and now you think Starmer should resign but you should keep your job?

Can someone at @ukri.org please explain why, as part of a "strategic review", it was decided to eliminate an entire responsive-mode grant round mid-cycle? There was NO clue in Sept'25. How much effort, cash, and time has been wasted? This will have consequences beyond these actions as well.

Lord Mandelson is "a very clever man" who can "master his brief" and would be "respected" by the president-elect's team. Nigel Farage when Mandelson was appointed.

If Mandelson really told Starmer he barely knew Epstein, that was an epic whopper of a lie. Here's Mandelson to Epstein in 2009: "You are the only person who knows everything about me. Don't go away". Their relationship only got closer after 2009.

🎵I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending…🎶 The people who broke our country are the same people Nigel Farage is now relying on to fix it. It couldn’t be clearer: Reform UK are simply the Conservatives with a new logo.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

SHOCK CELL PHONE VIDEO: Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.” ICE agent Jonathan Ross after shooting and killing her seconds later: “Fuckin’ bitch.” Via Alpha News

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

One of the attack lines towered above the rest, according to Steve Akehurst, who was behind the research. His analysis points out that “by far the most impactful” message was exposing its extensive ties to fossil fuel interests and corporate donors. writesbright.substack.com/p/new-resear...

How delicately a Romanesque angel uses the lightest touch of a finger to wake one of the magi, snuggled with the other 2 under their embroidered circular blanket at St Lazare, Autun, c1130 (& how beautifully the textures of pillow & blanket are represented). Season's greetings to you all!

I would keep this post going to counteract the vile comments made by Trump on his Trothe Senshall site today

A pleasure to work with you all on this.
