Today would've been the 51st Birthday of Stephen Lawrence. The people who murdered him are the same crowd terrorising London at this moment in time

the juxtaposition of 'let's enjoy Paddington bear!' and 'let's deport human migrants to the Taliban!' is too perfect

Very revealing moment on Channel 5 earlier today. Ann Widdecombe claimed people abuse disability benefits. I asked several times for her evidence - she said she’d “heard it from people” when she was a minister. My response? That right there is why our country is in a mess.

Hugely irresponsible 1) For your own safety, as someone who's worked in retail, do not confront shoplifters. Ever. 2) Perhaps instead of an alleged "shoplifting epidemic", maybe address the fact that 1/4 of the UK population are living in poverty? Seems related! www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08...

Outside Westminster Magistrates Court with @afc-soasv.bsky.social

Very happy never to have to listen to this awful man again - but he's damn right - @zackpolanski.bsky.social IS incredibly charismatic. Also, incredibly principled. Not that Gove would recognise a political principle if he saw one in the street.

Keith Richards is going to outlive us all isn't he?

What a way to go out

Of course they did. Wankers!

p diddy not getting charged for his more serious crimes is proof to me that jeffery epstein would have gotten out of prison and let out into society. no one really cares about sex crimes or trafficking

This is our Generation's OJ Simpson #DiddyTrial

I am ashamed that our elected MPs would do this. There is no more important duty than looking out for each other. Than sharing resources. Than having a politics of uplift rather than kicking down. Shame on any MP who voted for this. I am having a sob now. But will fight on

IN FOCUS | Gen X is being weeded out of the job market by AI... it's time to fight back

62 MPs have signed the reasoned amendment. Maskell says many more MPs plan to vote no than have signed. Many Labour MPs and others are opposing. It’s close—so much depends on how the new wave of Labour MPs vote. #TakingThePIP

🚨HAPPENING NOW: MPs must vote against the UK government’s cruel plans to cut social security for people with disabilities. Poverty is a political choice and choosing to cut support for disabled people and not taxing the super rich is shameful.

The disability benefit cuts being introduced today would have made George Osborne blush. We cannot underestimate their human and political cost. The public will not forgive us if we remove support from those most in need of it.

Teams is so much better for video call meetings than Zoom. I will die on that hill

6 years ago, we lost former Arsenal forward and Invincible, José Antonio Reyes, at just 35 years old. Rest in peace, José — your memory will live on forever.

Dr Assal Rad— “𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 is NYT’s euphemism for crimes against humanity.”

People talk about “benefits culture” like it’s some scam. You know what the real scandal is? That you have to fight, cry, collapse and prove you’re disabled again and again just to survive. Labour were supposed to be better, not worse. #TakingThePIP

I am proud to be a (non-celebrity!) signatory to the #TakingThePip letter sent to Starmer and the government. We “demand that the government withdraw its inhumane and catastrophic plans to cut disability benefits.” This is nothing less than “cruelty by policy.” tinyurl.com/3cmv43a9

🧵TW: PIP & Mental Health My new FOI further exposes the 4+ rule’s cruel impact on mental health. 1 in 3 MH claimants will be cut off, including those with the most severe disability. It shows a system built to erase cumulative + fluctuating need. #TakingThePip #WelfareNotWarfare

decades-long manhunt finally ends

You won Spurs. Enjoy the trophy, I hope it makes you happy. Dear Lord, what a sad little life, Spurs. You ruined my night completely. But I hope now you spend the UCL money on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.

Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly. The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in. We urgently need reform. Solidarity, once again, to Gary. ✊🏼

PIP - Unsurprisingly Sir Stephen Timms claim 'small interventions' has no basis in fact. 'Assertion that conditions for PIP claimants "could individually be managed with small interventions or the addition of aids or appliances"' whatdotheyknow.com/request/asse... via @whatdotheyknow.bsky.social

PIP isn't an out of work benefit. But the Government really wants to make it into one.

Can't cook, dress, eat, or toilet unaided? Soon, that won’t qualify you for help. 1.3 million disabled people face losing support. Read that again. #PIP 👇😞

Big up Declan Rice being here.
