Shabana Mahmood: "Our model has always been policing by consent, and I think that is an incredibly important differentiation between the way we do policing in this country and where it happens elsewhere in the world"

How are they trying to distract you today from the fact they’re too weak, compromised, corrupt & greedy to even try & stop our civilization from slamming into a wall?

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

“Ministers have failed to grasp the underlying issue which is corporate greed. The only people who will be paying for this are customers and billpayers.” Spot on from Feargal Sharkey 👇

If Labour won’t nationalise water, their “big overhaul” is a con. Sewage in our rivers. Bills going up. Profits protected. Public services should be in public hands.

If Starmer can arrange this guy's public trial and execution so quickly, how come the hunger-strikers are still waiting after more than a year in jail? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

If this greedy and ridiculous man were to become Prime Minister, he'd be responsible for our security, safety, our NHS, our economy, and the welfare of our children. Meanwhile he can't be bothered to do even basic checks on the Cameos that rake in £141,000 for him metro.co.uk/2026/01/15/i...

Anger at UK media for framing cancellation of school visit by pro-Israel MP as antisemitic - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/anger-uk-media-framing-after-school-cancels-visit-pro-israel-mp-damien-egan

A number of people on this platform have been claiming that it's not up to government to shorten people's time on remand, however far beyond the statutory limit that time extends. Well, take it from a very eminent retired judge. It is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Jeez. This is completely insane. How has this been allowed to happen?

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

What oppressive dictatorship has millions of their citizens turn out to demand the release and return of their 'dictator'? Venezuela apparently if you believe US lies.

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical. It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it. And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Not commenting on Venezuela is one thing, but Starmer's ministers not even being willing to say "no of course the US shouldn't invade a peaceful sovereign democratic NATO country, which is one of our closest allies" is quite another.

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants. Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil. He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA. How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way? The USA is a rogue nation.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Day 41 of Amu’s hunger strike. Still, the Justice Secretary refuses to meet with me.

I used to work for an American company and there was always the possibility of moving out there. You honestly couldn't pay me enough to even try to visit there now

The government is letting the hunger strikers die. This is a national scandal - and should be on the front-page of every newspaper in Britain. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gove...

Severe weather conditions in Gaza have claimed the lives of 13 people, including babies who froze to death, as Israel continues to block the entry of aid that could provide shelter to 1.5 million Palestinians living in worn-out tents. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/pale... #Palestine #Israel

Israeli attacks kill 383 people in Gaza since October ceasefire - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-attacks-kill-383-people-gaza-october-ceasefire

My constituent, Amu, is on Day 40 of their hunger strike in prison. Last month, I requested an urgent meeting with the Justice Secretary to discuss their wellbeing. He has now officially declined my request. What an absolute disgrace.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

Clacton, another Friday with no Nigel Farage MP surgery. In fact doesn’t appear to have even visited. #AnywhereButClacton

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

Destroying our chances of surviving on this planet by devouring resources to make AI-driven fucking warfare that will destroy our chances of surviving on this planet. We’re currently being led by the most dangerous psychopaths in the history of this planet.

As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition. The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

on my way to visit two of the Hunger Strike prisoners who are being held at HMP Bronzefield These political prisoners are demanding the closure of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, it supplies at least 85% of the land army equipment and drones used by the Israeli military

"24,000 households.. in Kent are waking up to a 5th day without water" One affected resident says, of the private water company, "these guys should be in jail" Labour could have taken our water back into public ownership. Instead they chose to side with the water companies.

I wish more people were aware of this. Considering the scale of the threat, the media's near-silence is both remarkable and culpable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨NHS England is rolling out Palantir software to run our health records - handing huge power to a US spy-tech firm that’s backed mass deportations and enabled genocide in Gaza. Email your local trust and say NO to Palantir in our NHS ⬇️ notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

Labour's MPs are just knee jerk tyrants. Their solution to every problem is suppression of opinion. Alternatively they could scrap outsourcing in the court systems and use the money to hire enough staff to process cases quickly and democratically.

The Justice Secretary is not considering: Jury trials guard against tyranny for offences against the state or corporations. Risk of politicising decisions leading to attacks on women and minoritised judges.

“The OBR estimates that 780,000 more people will be brought into paying income tax in 2029/30. Are those the people with the broadest shoulders?” Naga Munchetty #BBCbreakfast

Jeremy Corbyn works every Christmas Eve at a food bank and he doesn't take the cameras, and he puts in a full shift. Starmer wouldn't pop in for 5 minutes if it wasn't a photo op.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Government waters down landmark workers' rights bill in U-turn It will no longer include protections for all workers against unfair dismissal from the first day in their job. The promise was included in Labour's election winning manifesto. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Those opposing genocide against Palestinians (the majority of them seemingly pensioners and the elderly), outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Wednesday. More images here: www.instagram.com/p/DRh-Um8jIK... With arrests made, the absurdity of this law is yet again laid to bare.

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed
