Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Fire Brigades Union leader, Steve Wright: “If people think that Nigel Farage, a city trader millionaire & his mate, Richard Tice, are gonna be the people that can fix this country for the benefit of the majority, they are wrong” #politicslive

“Why did you stand idly by and let my Party completely ruin almost every aspect of the country for 14 years??” #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Nadine Dorries insisting Farage “excels in campaigning” No, he excels is selling snake oil #bbclaurak

Now we move to political analysis from two failed former Tory MPs who appear to have the audacity to sit in a TV studio and opine on the state of a country they collectively ruined via 14 years of utterly abysmal administration, austerity and Brexit #bbclaurak

Laura Kuenssberg: “This year could make or break Sir Keir Starmer’s government” 24 hours is a long time in politics never mind an entire year, but I’m reasonably sure Kuenssberg never started the first show of the year saying similar things about a Tory government #bbclaurak

‘Man of the people’ Farage fumes at trail hunting ban Farage once again voicing the real concerns of the working class! www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/man...

Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead. Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too. “The trouble with power is that it’s exposing, both politically and personally” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been. In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

“At a press conference this morning, Danny Kruger said Parry was “a very distinguished public servant” and even suggested his remark may have been taken out of context” Not sure a context exists that could excuse him. Reform: what a bunch of racist wankers. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

A reminder that this is the same man who has just spent the past week calling all the Jewish victims of his own horrific anti-semitic abuse liars

Lib Dem president Josh Babarinde: “When Reform MPs go on the telly & say the sight of black & Asian people on TV adverts drives them mad. That is only seeking to sow division. We will see even more scandal from Reform - whether it’s racism or people like Nathan Gill” #bbclaurak

If she’s not on #PoliticsLive, she’s on #Newsnight, if she’s not on #Newsnight, she’s on #BBCLauraK Never in political history has a *local councillor* been given so much airtime by the BBC

The very same commentators that spent years condemning anti-semitism in UK politics as a major national scandal, have suddenly lost interest now that it implicates one of their own www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-farage...

A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto news channels to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist bylinetimes.com/2025/12/05/t...

Nice to see #bbcqt have dedicated an entire hour to the immigration debate cos we definitely don’t spend morning, noon & night incessantly discussing it ad nauseam

You'll be amazed to discover that a bunch of anonymous people that Nigel Farage says definitely do exist, have confirmed that he didn't say any of the things that lots of other people say on the record that he absolutely did

Reasonably sure more pubs closed under the Tories than at any other point in history so forgive for not quite believing Tory MP Andrew Griffith’s concern for their plight under a Labour government #PoliticsLive

You will be shocked to discover after reading these stories that while Rachel Reeves claimed to have been the "British girls under-14 [chess] champion" she was in reality merely the "Under 14s British Women’s Chess Association (BWCA) Girls" Champion. This is getting utterly ridiculous now

Kemi Badenoch, who leads a Party that has taken zero responsibility for the dire state of the country via austerity, Brexit and a Liz Truss budget, questions why Starmer hasn’t taken responsibility for a budget that didn’t crash the economy #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Feels increasingly like a Reeves budget, that didn’t crash the markets, is facing more criticism from BBC journalists than a Liz Truss budget that did #PoliticsLive #PMQs

Farage. Grifter-in-chief. Racist. Russian asset. Trump groupie. He gets an MP’s salary and spends his time doing anything but. A professional piss-taker and national security (and sanity) threat, leading the polls to be the next PM. Come on UK. Get some sodding self-respect.

Oh dear Chris. And BBC. Think we’ll all go with the OBR official, rather than you and your unprofessional biased nonsense. Feel free to issue an apology and have a bit of a think. Maybe about the years of barely scrutinised *Tory* policies that got us into this mess. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Kemi Badenoch who backed austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson & a Liz Truss mini budget is the same Kemi Badenoch furious at measures being implemented in an attempt to ease the dire impact of austerity, Brexit, Boris Johnson & a Liz Truss mini budget #bbclaurak

The media establishment that praised to the hilt a budget that almost saw a run on pension funds & mortgage repayments doubling overnight is the same media establishment furious with a budget that hasn’t seen either #bbclaurak

For a man so against the BBC he doesn’t half spend a lot of time on it #bbclaurak

It was par for the course that a Tory Chancellor would appear the week before the Budget, state that they couldn’t say anything about it, drop it on the country & never be interviewed about it again Fair play to Reeves for bucking that trend #trevorphillips #bbclaurak

The British press poses a genuine and profound threat to our democracy and our shared prosperity. They howl out their right wing, wealth-protecting agenda and want Farage as PM. We will all pay a very high price for their selfish greed and their utter indifference to social inequality.

The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news. Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters Down by 140k isn't thought to be. Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

The front of Tory MPs, like Laura Trott, to appear on national television and criticise a budget that is largely attempting to undo just some of the colossal damage caused by Tory MPs support of austerity, Brexit and Boris Johnson #politicslive

Nothing says “balance” like a panel of three guests including one actual serving Tory MP and a man who ran on several occasions to be one #politicslive

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils? It was years ago. Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils? Not in a hurtful way. Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils? Not with intent. Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils? Not genuine abuse. 😮🫣😬😱 ~AA

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

In the same week the Covid Inquiry concluded that introducing lockdown a week earlier could have saved 23,000 lives and a former Reform politician was jailed for accepting Russian bribes, #bbclaurak hasn’t expended a single second talking about it That is absolutely appalling

When someone as much as farts the BBC runs to Reform MPs/supporters for their opinion on it Yet when a former Reform politician is jailed for 10.5 years for accepting Russian bribes… #bbclaurak

Only 2 papers (Guardian & Daily Mirror) decided the sentencing of ex-Reform politician Nathan Gill to 10.5 years in prison for accepting Russian bribes, warranted front page coverage The Telegraph, Independent, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Times, FT, & The Sun all failed to do so #bbclaurak

What’s the point in having the Tory Shadow Chancellor on criticising a budget that hasn’t even been announced yet and a former Tory Chancellor on criticising a budget that hasn’t even been announced yet? #bbclaurak

So, #r4today reports on the Covid inquiry and the “too little, too late” Tory govt, then says they’ll be talking to *Lord* Gove about it. Ugh. That just sums up so much that’s so very wrong with our politics and media. Rewarding, rather than punishing, those responsible for failing us all.

The worst possible Prime Minister, in the worst possible government, at the worst possible time - Boris Johnson’s legacy

Reform MP Lee Anderson: “Whilst the Labour front bench continue to peddle their own form of dog whistle politics… *entire commons laughs in tandem* …Reform UK are cracking on with the day job” *entire commons laughs in tandem* #PMQs #PoliticsLive

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Kemi Badenoch seems to think the Tories left the country in a state of milk and honey as opposed to a completely derelict mess that any government of any colour would struggle to instantaneously mend #PMQs #PoliticsLive

Farage at school by those who knew him best: www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

The completely unelected Zia Yusuf thinks he can renegotiate a Brexit deal that’s entirely in the UK’s favour Utter fantasist His arrogance is only outweighed by his delusion #PoliticsLive

Who does Reform blame when they take power, cut all illegal immigration and no one’s life is tangible improved? #newsnight

Shabana Mahmood: “I wish I had the privilege of walking around this country & not seeing the division the issue of migration & asylum system is creating across this country. Unlike him, unfortunately, I am the one that is regularly called a f*cking p*ki & told to go back home”

The country is stuck in the shitcreek that these hideous right wing con artists and cultists shoved it into. But no amount of failure can dim their sense of entitlement to power. Hardly surprising when they’re handed megaphones every day but never made to explain themselves.
