There are now more bots than people on the Internet. This problem is truly dystopian on sites like Threads and Twitter. They’re busy gaslighting humanity with propaganda. And humanity keeps falling for it.

Anthony Head was an Ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats home for more than two decades. Thanks for everything Tony x

To believe 2020 was stolen, you also have to believe: 1. While Trump was in his first term, he allowed Biden to infiltrate the federal government & rig the election against him. 2. In 2024, when Biden and the Democrats were actually in charge, they chose NOT to & let Trump win.

Disappointing knee jerk stuff from Andy Burnham. If you actually know any Sikhs, the ceremonial kirpan they carry is *nothing* like the knife Vickrum Digwa used. This kind of talk will only legitimise racism against the Sikh community, who do not deserve this.

I’m a Sikh MP. Here’s why we should all heed the words of Henry Nowak’s father | Jeevun Sandher

I was born and raised here. Countless brave Sikh soldiers died for Britain, proudly wearing their turban and kirpan. Thankfully, Rupert and Restore don't get to decide what is British. Beware … today they’re coming for me, but tomorrow it could be you!

Live scenes of Sleepy Joe B.. Oh wait, that's Trump

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

This is exactly what we have been warning about. But oh no, anyone who objects to the changes is a selfish, privileged nimby, a zealot, a blocker, an elitist. Let's trash the lives of England's poorest communities, and smear anyone who complains. Thanks Keir. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So the police force accused by Nigel Farage of "anti-white racism" is over five times more likely to target black people for stop and searches than white people The figure is higher than the average for England and has got worse over recent years www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Reform’s Robert Kenyon already getting a pasting on Question Time Well done to the woman from audience who said ‘I’d rather be represented by a career politician than a sexist plumber’

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

I see he’s played knifey spoonie before

Left: Reform UK's Robert Kenyon, "Get normal people in politics.. Not someone who would use it as a stepping stone" Right: Lady in maroon, "I'd rather have a career politician than a plumber who is sexist"

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

37 years ago, students stood in Tiananmen Square & peacefully called for democracy. Tragically, the Chinese Communist Party responded with tanks & violence. The students & civilians who died that day still inspire us with their courage to risk everything for the freedoms we hold dear.

Clever old Farage. Pivoting to corrupt grifterism to distract from his appalling racism, then pivoting to appalling racism to distract from his corrupt grifterism.

Farage wants to start riots to distract from his £5m gift. Trump starts wars to distract from his Epstein involvement. Farage is just a Division 3 Trump.

I see Farage is inciting Farage riots again

Who the hell does Farage think he is “addressing the nation”? And why the hell does he think he has the right to trample over a family’s grief and turn their tragedy into the Farage show? What a truly despicable, deeply racist little man. There can be no pride in a country where he has power.

Where’s Farage? He’s not been seen in Parliament for weeks, doesn’t hold constituency surgeries, cancels big TV interviews last minute & hasn’t been campaigning in Makerfield. Oh look, there he is!! Popping up to spread more racism & use the tragic death of a young man to draw attention to himself.

So Nigel Farage, was this the response you were looking for? It doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re a money laundering scum bag, it just adds to it. You despicable vile human being.

Curious from the Guardian. I didn't "warn the party" - it wasn't a party meeting! I said progressives needed to separate those thinking about voting Reform from the Reform leadership. I didn't say we "need to seek to understand" - pretty clear it's about inequality. Other than that - perfect!

Motions concerning crime, children’s wellbeing, pensions, Northern Ireland, the King’s Speech, and even immigration have all been skipped by the Clacton MP www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...

There’s not much new to say about this but I find it very sad that in multiple countries in Europe, including the Netherlands and the UK, “there are too many brown people and we should deport them” has become a fairly mainstream talking point for sitting MPs. Not something I expected to live to see

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

unnoticed by whom, npr

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Zack Polanski explains the council haven't confirmed if he owes council tax. And says he gets more scrutiny than Farage and the £5m gift

Not repeating the remarks, but Kruger defending what has been said about Carole Vorderman shows the rhetoric about protecting women and girls to be a demonstrable lie. Publicly endorsing the humiliation of a non-compliant woman is a lot of things but Christian it is not.

Carol Vorderman attacks "disgusting online abuser" as said Reform by-election candidate... who posted creepy sexual message about her remains Farage’s man in Makerfield www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

As I haven’t quite yet tired of saying: we are, very much, where we are.

*Protect Our Women* from *fighting age men* with primitive misogynistic views who *don't share our values*

Never forget, Cameron's Tories brought Brexit because Farage's UKIP was taking a bite out of Tory polling. Without a care, Cameron & Cabinet bet the nation for Tory Party benefit; to the absolute disastrous detriment of the nation.

James Talarico: “Theocracy is the most dangerous form of government — the only thing worse than a tyrant - is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God. Our faith in Jesus should lead us away from theocracy, tyranny, Christian nationalism & toward a multi-racial, multi-cultural democracy”

One of the interesting tangential aspects of Trump's visit to China is that he can't control the media output. Some of the photos are UNREAL. Had to check this carefully suspecting it was altered or AI gen, but I have found it on three known press outlets with credit to a global photo agency. 😱

How to change this debate. " Being outside the EU costs every UK household an average of £8,300 every year. But being inside again would only cost each UK household £38 every year. Do you still think we should stay out? "

The fact that a neo-Nazi teenager who attempted to behead a Kurdish barber in Bristol last year has just been sentenced to almost 20 years in prison isn’t *national* news is enormously telling. It’s really not just a South West story, is it?

Enjoyed speaking to @bylinetimes.bsky.social to discuss ten years of championing the most open, diverse and successful city in the world. As the rise in disinformation shows - London’s enemies resent us because of our enduring success ⬇️ bylinetimes.com/2026/05/12/s...

Farage has shared an image of an NUJ card belonging to a photographer that has presumably been dropped nea (one of)r his properties. For someone so concerned about his own security, he seems perfectly willing to whip up his followers against someone who presumably has none.

NUJ responds to Farage doxxing a photo journalist who was doing their job. www.nuj.org.uk/resource/nuj...

The more things change The more they stay the same.

@labourlewis.bsky.social : "For every 10 voters we lose to Reform from Labour.. we lose 16 to the Greens. The reality for us is that actually, by shifting to the right.. Labour is losing its core progressive vote. That's what's happening at the moment"

If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

Genuinely don't understand how the answer to a PM who has major shortcomings when it comes to being across policy, is a man who disbanded NHS England while seemingly not realising he did not have the budget for the massive redundancy costs

When Jewish people speak out against genocide, why are our voices dismissed? And smirking while I describe someone Nazi-saluting at me isn’t just disrespectful - it feels deeply antisemitic. youtu.be/7VkfYJgLljE?...

An obvious antisemitic caricature of Zack Polanski in The Times. But there will be no media or political outrage, which tells you all you need to know.

The Green Party has complained to the Times' editor about this cartoon which they say pushes antisemitic tropes against Zack Polanski by portraying him with a hooked nose. "Zack faces daily anti-semitism, and in the past six weeks two people have been arrested for anti-semitic actions towards him."

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
