Badenoch shoots herself in the foot on the Tories’ long march to the right www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is the vision Farage, Badenoch, and Starmer share. This is our future.

Two-way defections prove that Reform's bluster just means failed Tory policies multiplied and promises decades more lethal austerity Reform + Conservatives = Conform "Reform claim ‘injustice’ as councillor defects from party to join Tories" www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

DAILY TELEGRAPH scraping the barrel with 'Starmer led ‘witch-hunt’ against Iraq veterans' This harks back to 2007 and Downing St. states that Starmer was merely a legal adviser to the Court and not an advocate for either side. The right wing press in this country is sickening.

Starmer needs to start channeling his inner Carney.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

Just like embassies, the premises of a consulate are protected. Local police cannot enter without the consent of the head of the consulate as they enjoy "inviolability" under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. #r4today #ICE

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

WTF 😡🤬😡 The US Embassy in Denmark removes flags bearing the names of 44 Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan nyheder.tv2.dk/live/samfund...

Oof

"Noem has complained to others that she feels she's being hung out to dry over the episode and has made sure to emphasize she took direction from Miller and the president" www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

Gov Hochul: “No one is above the law — no one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not the President of the United States— Make no mistake, when these ppl who have abused the power entrusted to them by their offices are finally out of power, states, including NY, will hold them accountable”

At this rate, he'll have to release the Epstein files to get people to stop talking about Minnesota.

"No infraction is too small to be investigated and, if the evidence warrants, charged. We will need an American Nuremberg." Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/49KD9mm

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a warning that still applies. Remembering means recognizing the patterns of how dehumanization and state violence enable mass suffering. As Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos reminds us, silence enables atrocity. 📷 @misanharriman.bsky.social

Incredible choice for a multicultural constituency. Enoch Powell energy

In 1988, the BBC paid tribute to the heroic work of the humanist Nicholas Winton, an English stockbroker who saved more than 650 Jewish children ahead of WWII on the Kindertransport. Winton, sitting in the audience, was not aware he was sitting among the very same people he saved. Beautiful.

Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller must resign. Trump regime murdered U.S. citizens. Noem and Miller lied, defamed the victims as part of the regime’s obstruction of justice.

Another great article by The Bear. If you're not following him, take yourself to one side, have a quiet word with yourself and then hit his follow button. You won't regret it.

Democrats and Judges need to demand the footage from Alex Pretti's phone.

Full EU membership should be put to the public at the next election. It's time to return home. inews.co.uk/opinion/rejo...

Did you know that when Kristi Noem was governor of South Dakota, she launched an anti-drug campaign with the tagline: “Meth: We’re on it.” 😹 As @edwardluce.bsky.social says Noem’s message control has not obviously sharpened as Trump’s homeland security secretary www.ft.com/content/623d...

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

It’s certainly a positive if Bovino is removed But if he’s replaced by Tom Homan-while Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller remain in the administration-this ultimately changes very little All of them must be fired, prosecuted and-assuming they’re found guilty-be put in jail for a long, long time

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Farage’s Brexit was peddled as “taking back control”. It’s been a shitshow. And not because we didn’t leave the ECHR. But because flouncing out of our cooperative arrangements backfires. Prejudice makes for easy slogans but ruinous policy. We should be very wary of this simplistic bullshit by now.

We see where Apple stands.

The fag ash fuhrer sucking up to the mango mussolini again.

Keir Starmer is planning to make Brexit the "key dividing line" between Labour and Reform to win the next election Government source: “Farage doesn’t actually want to talk about Brexit any more because he knows his project has failed” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.” So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

"The murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti was not a mistake, or a tragedy, or a misunderstanding. It was a choice. The president of the United States and his regime saw what its masked agents had done to Renee Good and decided to do more of it."

i'm all for the death of the Tory party, but i didn't sign up for the rise of Reform, the stupid Tories

Tories had 14 years in power. Labour have had 18 months. So when ex Tories like Braverman say “We can either continue down this route of managed decline to weakness & surrender. Or we can fix our country, reclaim our power, rediscover our strength” it is hugely insulting and very bloody irritating.

If folks boycotted the World Cup in USA, like actually teams stayed away it would break Donald Trump…just sayin’.

Gov. Janet Mills: "Congress needs to stand up today and and tell this president that Kristi Noem must go and ICE must be withdrawn. They're only creating problems."

Here's new Reform MP Suella Braverman, boasting about the time she took a trip to see a wall on "the land border between Italy and Turkey" which caused "crossings on that border to plummet"

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

AT&T, Citizen's Bank, and Amazon (surprise!) benefit from the ICE crackdown It's a money-making scheme for them

I've been pretty hard on the Tories in the past but I can't deny they're doing a massive service to the country making Reform unelectable by filling it with Tories.

“Alex Pretti is just about the worst victim possible for the Trump White House. He was a 37-year-old straight white man, who worked in an intensive care unit treating American veterans.” inews.co.uk/news/world/t...

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

This, by @claireberlinski.bsky.social, is a smart, thorough comb through Trump’s use of language, and what it says about him — and robustly makes the case that no-one has to be qualified to make a diagnosis to point out what everyone can see and hear. claireberlinski.substack.com/p/the-presid...

This New York Times story is not paywalled, and it shows a second-by-second breakdown of what happened. Please scroll through it. This is not what America, or anywhere, should be www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

ICE gas a peaceful protestor then shoot off her middle finger with 'less than lethal' ammo.

Farage ‘Britain is Broken’ (So let’s hire everyone who broke it)

Oh look, Suella Braverman has also joined the retirement home for grievance filled Tories. If Reform UK is starting to look a lot like Conservatives 2.0, well… that’s because it is.
