As a long student of lovely pub flooring, this is truly wonderful. #pub

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

hmm

Worse ways and worst places to drink a coffee. #vanlife

The "Iran War" explained...

And it’s playing again… Picking up all the subtleties in the music & the lyrics. And my god the lyrics… and the vocals… and that brass track coming in… and the drums kicking in and it just builds and builds. My first listen with a glass of red so I’m relaxing into it and yup, it’s going on again!

Oh my, this is just SO damned good. Only released today & I’ve listened to it 8 times already. If you don’t know Judi’s work, this is a great time to go explore! jjlovegrove.bandcamp.com/track/celand...

And yet we'll trust them to do ask the white collar jobs apparently...

It’s 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 & what better way to show your love for live music & female artists as we head towards #internationalwomensday than grabbing a ticket for this @bodeganotts.bsky.social on the 6th March. Let’s show 𝑫𝑯𝑷 that an all female line-up 𝑪𝑨𝑵 𝑺𝑬𝑳𝑳 𝑶𝑼𝑻 𝑽𝑬𝑵𝑼𝑬𝑺 𝑻𝑶𝑶!! 🙏🏻 🖤🎫 bit.ly/JJBodega

Quite right too

I don't care what the cost is, or how much the world needs to change to accommodate it - but the world needs to pivot away from the US. This guy is insane. #trump #davos

how far is Davos from Dignitas

This is some speech. I wish I could hear my leaders say something similar.

It makes me so angry because these are not serious people and we are forced to pretend they are or get scolded for being elitists insufficiently open to new stalls in the marketplace of ideas when we point out a prerequisite for the debate stage should be understanding how literally anything works.

She warned us. Like Hillary, Kamala was right about everything.

This year’s Presidential Christmas card.

So little patience for the people perfectly content riding the tiger of white resentment and nativism while it was helping them push through tax cuts, who now stare at it running loose and feral in the streets and are like, "the left should reflect on how it let things get this far."

I feel like there's a part missing where we all got exposed to a deluge of left-wing bias from the BBC

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

From Charlie Kirk to CCHQ, the right has realised they can lie and not be challenged. Why? In this week’s column, Stewart Lee looks at the ways populists mislead modern voters

Absolute perfection. #Reform

I keep hearing an argument about #digitalid that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. My question though... where do people keep there eggs? Are they spread throughout the kitchen?

Turnip you say?

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like- -How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected? -How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect? I cannot remember.

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here. Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Under new plans to settle in the #UK migrants must volunteer to do work in the community. If you have to do something it's not volunteering. So to be valued in this country migrants have to do community service. A punishment used for criminals. #Labour #migration #ILR

As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians. Ta.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

An extraordinary Telegraph article from 2014 that reminds us where Nigel Farage stood on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Mr Putin 16 years ago.

Thought this might make you laugh.

First it was 600k... then it wasn't.. now its 1.2m? I'm guessing we've moved past asylum seekers now and going for... Muslims? #reform #farright #fascist

A couple of my favourite pictures from yesterday's #StopTrump march. Thanks to @ukstoptrump.bsky.social for organising it and @zoejardiniere.bsky.social 's quite impassioned speech at the end! Wonderful.

At least someone from a right wing paper has said it. Well done Dan Hodges

If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome. If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

Badenoch: "I think he was saying, if people are violent, fight back" What the leader of the opposition says is not true. Musk called for *pre-emptive* violence. He wants people to begin the violence. She says it would not "de-escalate" to reject this!

In London, hate will never win.

Sadiq is right, "for our leaders silence is no longer enough. The time has come to stand up and say: this is not who we are"... But we're not holding our breath! And meanwhile we will say it ourselves - LOUD & CLEAR TODAY!

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

“So, you’re a Reform voter? What attracted you to the party run by a lying, racist, dog-whistling, tax-avoiding, ex-public schoolboy who cares not a jot about women subjected to violence or working class people like you?”
