Nothing in the Sky News headlines about former Reform Party leader Nathan Gill in Wales being convicted for taking bribes from Russia to make pro-Russian statements. Have you seen anything about this on British TV? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

VD VANCE IS GASLIGHTING, because it is #ICE who have been violent. Any leader who says that law enforcement should be masked, does not care about voters’ rights or transparency. It’s no wonder Trump picked Vance. They are both lowlifes. #ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼

Farage and Badenoch want to quit the ECHR. It would remove our protections. It would place the UK alongside Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and international law. It is what traitors would do.

Earlier this year I spent several days in the largest Muslim majority city in the world. Not once did I feel unsafe or have anyone telling me to behave a certain way. Did eat some great food though.

So much hope and now so much regret voting for Keir Starmer. It has been nothing but disappointment. And I’ve been a Labour supporter for the last few decades. 😡😡

Lucy Powell: Labour has handed the megaphone to Nigel Farage – it must end now 👏 inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Netanyahu avoids Europe. “Shorter, more fuel-efficient routes may have flown across France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and the UK. Those countries have all signed the ICC statute and would be legally required to arrest and surrender Netanyahu to The Hague-based court if he entered their territory.”

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m not against ID cards per se. But I am against them now. For this. As yet another weapon in the arsenal against immigrants. This isn’t taking the fight to Reform. It’s using immigrants as a human shield while Reform keeps punching you in the face. iandunt.substack.com/p/id-cards-a...

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Kier Starmer effectively endorses Reform, telling UK voters you are justified in voting for a far-right anti-immigration party. 🫩

Moldova bars pro-Russia party from parliamentary elections

I think Digital ID cards could well become Starmer’s Poll Tax.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION YET? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The community note has it right.

Nail on head by Adil Ray, "If a Muslim extremist rallied 100,000 people we would be worried, but when Robinson did we say: they have genuine concerns"

Here's a link to Labour's 2024 manifesto. It doesn't appear to mention rolling out a national ID scheme (which I think we can agree is a MASSIVE project). Yet Starmer's doing it anyway. If that's acceptable, why aren't introducing PR, or rejoining the SM, CU or EU? labour.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant. His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom. But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague. We will miss him terribly.

In principle I don't have an issue with digital ID, but I don't trust a UK government to implement it. Our data will probably end up in the hands pf Palantir.

Brexit: How Britain was out-negotiated Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, kept a secret diary of the talks. Published in 2021, it revealed in painful detail why Britain lost so badly at the negotiating table @jondanzig.bsky.social eu-rope.ideasoneurope.eu/2025/09/25/b...

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

London is, and always will be, a place for everyone. A city where people of all backgrounds live side-by-side, and where our differences are not just tolerated, but celebrated.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that there is NO EVIDENCE for Donald Trump’s claim about Sharia law in London fullfact.org/world/donald...

The Royal Parks has rejected Nigel Farage's claim that migrants are killing and eating swans from their grounds. The RSPCA has also poured cold water on the claim, saying a video that has been circulating on social media was from 15 years ago news.sky.com/story/royal-...

Arron Banks: "The Communists took a third of the intelligentsia out and shot them in a car park, and I always thought what a waste. But now I think actually, they had a point." Needless to say, Ron failed to get into university and has had a chip on his little shoulders ever since.

Fossil fuel & mining companies issue record number of lawsuits against govts to protect profits, defeat green policies & climate action. Cases heard in private courts. Over $114bn awarded. Corporate wealth used to destroy people, towns, govts. You can have corporate power or democracy, not both.

According to research by the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center, at least 1045 people have been executed in Iran between January 1 and September 23, 2025. In the latest update, 142 executions were recorded between the beginning of September and September 23.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Nigel Farage has been warned his "morally repugnant" plans to scrap the main route to citizenship for migrants could push the NHS to the brink of collapse www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

BREAKING: Emmanuel Macron declares that France recognises the state of Palestine

This week three years ago, Shirin, Mohammad, Sarina, Mahsa, and Mehdi were all killed by the Islamic Republic for taking part in the Woman, Life, Freedom protests. Read their stories, and keep their memories alive on the Omid Memorial.

"Researchers have developed a comprehensive tracking project documenting the systematic dismantling of democratic institutions in the United States under Trump’s emerging regime. On 9 September, Christina Pagel and Sandy Laping presented their Trump Action Tracker project..."

Have you heard the good news? Yesterday, all across the country, Americans marched for clean energy for "Sun Day." And this'll warm your heart: "In Virginia, volunteers climbed rooftops to install solar panels on affordable homes built by Habitat for Humanity." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Alaa Abdel Fattah: Egypt's president pardons prominent activist Amazing news!!

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

On LBC today, I discussed the government's announcement of a second runway at Gatwick Airport and its rumoured decision to allow new oil and gas extraction. Is this Trump’s doing, Shelagh Fogarty asked me? No, it's worse than that. youtu.be/rGI_bbSDh5o?...

I wonder what the guy sitting next to him thinks?

Labour walk past an open undefended goal again. Instead of attacking Farage's Trumpian craziness on the grounds of morality and sanity, all they can think of doing is claim he's got his sums wrong and can't make something work that should NEVER even have been considered in the first place.

Aggie Chambre, LBC, asks if Farage has done any modelling on how many businesses will close as a result of their deporting legal migrants policy Farage blames mass migration for poor economic growth Farage ignores the impact of Brexit e.g. 20,000 businesses ceased exporting to the EU since 2019

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.
