Look at how often Trump sues people. Now note how he's NEVER sued someone accusing him of pedophilia. He knows he'd be destroyed in discovery.

In so many ways - student loans that take 9% of your marginal income without ever being paid off, higher rate tax threshold freezes, mortgage and housing costs - we have seen the return of the "squeezed middle". A huge political opportunity/risk. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

. 6 or 7 unelected lords should not have the power to thwart a Bill passed by elected MPs in the House of Commons! #trevorphillips #BBClaurak #bbcbh #toriesGone576 .

At this point the focus on Andrew Windsor by the UK media can only be read as a distraction from the FT's scoop about Mandelson and the very serious corruption allegations.

You know what punishment would most affect these millionaires and billionaire pedophiles? Take away all their money, compensate the victims, and redistribute the rest to social infrastructure, including Universal Basic Income. #EpsteinFiles

WOW WOW WOW Mayor Mamdani names Stanley Richards as the new head of Dept of Corrections. Richards is the first formerly incarcerated person to lead the city’s jails. Richards is currently the president/CEO of the Fortune Society, a leading nonprofit that assists incarcerated/ formerly incarcerated

I often wonder what Pam Bondi’s hopes and dreams were when she was studying law. Did she have this willingness to sink into rottenness in mind? What goes on in her mind now?

He's beyond pathetic. Has he got any other ripostes beyond "highly overrated"? Lame twat.

This is very good, including explaining something that had always puzzled me, namely why Goodwin suddenly became so hostile to, specifically, 'elite universities'. But the far more important insight is what Goodwin's story tells us about our political culture. 1/3

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

I’ve been out campaigning in Gorton & Denton today. The response on the doors confirmed to me what all polling & fair analysis shows: this is a Labour vs Reform contest Labour in Manchester is strong not just in activists but in public recognition of the city’s progress. Together, we can win this

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Indeed. I'm sick to death of people constantly berating Starmer for walking difficult, necessary lines. It's so easy to shout from a position of zero responsibility or put it in a film. Different matter when it's on you.

Now there is independent proof Zack Polanski was lying to his supporters. It's not just me saying it, but Full Fact has investigated and confirmed it. Will Zack apologise? Will he tell his supporters he deliberately lied and misread them? Will the proven liar resign as Green party leader?

Her pitch is - explicitly! - 'Britain is a broken mess. Hire the firm that broke it, because we have more experience'. No-one would choose a plumber on that basis:

Fucking stupid argument by Reeves. People who don't go to uni use lots of services and products designed by people who do go to uni, like doctors and engineers and so on. Idiotic.

I wanted folks that wonder how a bill from US healthcare looks to have the chance to see one. This is for back surgery to correct scoliosis. The amount at the bottom is what I pay. This is just for the surgery, there will be another bill for the hospital stay and a bill from the anesthesiologist.

Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.

Vaccinations are sensible things. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

DHS: ‘Trust us, he was no choir boy’ World: ‘He was in fact a choir boy, Boy Scout, ICU nurse and all around stand up guy who died being a hero at the hands of absolute ICE zeros’.

Like most here, I am horrified and heartbroken over what has happened in Minneapolis with the death of yet another brave citizen in the fight against ICE abuses. No one should have to pay that price for our freedom, and no family should have to hear that terrible news.

Fuck off, Andrew.

Nice little video of Farage lying about Reform's repeated promises to cut council tax. bsky.app/profile/best...

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism. It almost always benefits the side with the most power. In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

Nigel Farage racks up £151,000 in donor-funded flights to support Donald Trump www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Which makes concerned about a path to authoritarianism in the UK mimicking what is happening in Minnesota. The news reporting what is happening, without fear or favour, is an important part of democracy.

Thank you for this perfect statement. I’m broken. I have lost faith that these murderous thugs will be stopped. We the people cannot allow this for 3 more years.

I'm just sick. Sick of this administration and the Republican party that has no spine. Every day I'm just cringe. I'm a Veteran and this is just sickening. Stay strong. Stay peaceful. Never stop protesting and speaking out against the regime.

It should also be noted that he has no prior criminal record. Is the narrative seriously that a 37 year old law-abiding man, who works caring for and saving the lives of critically ill veterans, just up and decided to “massacre” federal agents?

The last thing he did was to help a woman pushed to the ground by ICE. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Alex was executed. Very sad day.

Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA. To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness. What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country. Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

I do think the GOP losing one or both houses really would hurt, with stuff like that in the offing. Which again, makes me nervous about how far they're willing to go to avoid that

Just in case you guys want to delete your #TikTok accounts Here's the best way to do it without having to agree to the new terms and conditions

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

You're like so many completely ignoring all the positives and I'm a pensioner, they haven't penalised me, the majority of pensioners don't need the WFP. The economy is growing, wages are outstripping inflation, the extra childcare hours are worth up to £7k in some families.

The guy who was murdered in Minneapolis was an American citizen and a nurse. He had no convictions.

A mother of young children and a nurse murdered within 3 weeks. Surely it can't go on?

If you’re Labour MP elected off the back of Starmer winning the last GE you ought to reflect on what serves the countries best interests? Political chaos of a leadership challenge which will embolden the right or slow but steady progress on fixing the country after 14 years of Tory governments?

It's out!

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."
