Despite being a US citizen, a 5-year-old was deported on 11 January alongside her mother to Honduras, a country she had never known.

It's essential to defeat this nasty piece of work

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Farage welcomed Suella ‘Cruella’ Braverman into Reform UK Party Ltd today.

Poverty is deepening. 🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning. People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people. This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

This is excellent, careful, ruthlessly calm effective reporting from @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social in stark contrast to the earlier both-siding bollox from other BBC colleagues.

Oh

A doctor who witnessed the incident says the victim did not wield a weapon of any kind. But he saw at least 4 ICE officers point guns at him. He was shot 6 or 7 times. On rushing out he saw 3 gunshot wounds to his back, & when turned, one to his upper left chest & one poss to his neck

If Homeland Security says it’s raining and the City leaders say it’s sunny, will the BBC say they are “sharply contested narratives” or will they do their job, look themselves and say who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Reform MP Andrew Rosindell tells the BBC that he "would not object" to scrapping the NHS and replacing it with private insurance

GB News tried to present Trump's comments on UK soldiers as a bit of 'confusion', but now the White House have doubled down www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Man of the people latest. All of Farage’s history shows that far from “taking on the globalists” he’s a grifter who milks unsavoury parts of the global elite for all he can get

Not a statesman. Not strong. Not patriotic. Not principled. Farage is a traitorous little shit who is too compromised and too desperate to please Trump, to serve the best interests of our country. He will only ever betray us because he has to see Brexit through to the bitter, broken end. (iPaper)

An article about how Danes are using apps to avoid buying US made products. I think there maybe interest in this outside of Denmark. www.independent.co.uk/tech/us-boyc...

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed. As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. ft.trib.al/V138xDu

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

Not exactly a man of the people. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This could be a big moment for Farage. His only comment so far has been insipid, saying that what Trump said was "not quite fair". I'm not sure that anything short of publicly repudiating his friendship with Trump will play well with many of his supporters. Meanwhile, Labour should press the bruise.

I had a preview of the Warm Homes Plan, and one thing that stood out was the clarity of direction it provides. A simple word count already tells part of the story. 🧵

In Davos, the world is watching an American president’s mind dissolve in real time.

Farage failed to declare over £380,000 in outside earnings on top of his MP's salary. He's lining his pockets when he should be standing up for Britain. www.parliament.uk/globalassets...

Just what the country needs - a computer illiterate PM www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A genuine breaking story: Nigel Farage has breached the MPs' code of conduct 17 times www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This is pathetic of the Times, framing it as all our fault for incontinent social media use while the orange madman gets a free pass

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Spot on ⬇️ "Leaving the EU was a disaster a decade ago." "And it's even more of a disaster given the international situation now."

Global tourism hit record levels in 2025, up in terms of spending about 7%, yet down by about 6% in the US. I wonder why... www.reuters.com/world/us/few...

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Whatever Farage says, remember this tweet

If Trump's innocent: Why did MAGA Mike hold up Congress to block the Epstein files? Why did MAGA Mike block Rep. Grijalva from being seated? Why are they still withholding the Epstein files? Why is Trump named as a rapist in the files? Why hasn't Trump sued anyone for calling him a pedophile?

This corrupt and evil man-baby is no friend of the UK. Why would you put up his flag next to the Union Jack. Why would you put it up at all?

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

🚨🚨"Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him. Now is the time." @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on the Republicans as the last barrier to stop #Trump the madman.

As #Trump menaces #Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan - and inspired leadership ✍️ Gordon Brown The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to act www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lee Anderson: "There will be casualties!" Reform UK just went full Trump on January 6. They're going to get MORE people killed!

A reminder that Rosindell claimed more than £125,000 in second home expenses for a flat in London, while designating his childhood home 17 miles away - where his mother lived - as his main address. https://news.sky.com/story/conservative-mp-andrew-rosindell-defects-to-reform-uk-13496013

For those of you interested in facts rather than the ramblings of clearly demented orange man child here’s the USA confirming Danish rights to Greenland in 1916.

Deeply weird and menacing scenes in Minneapolis. ICE agents sat in masks and balaclavas in unmarked, often blacked out cars, watching local residents. They themselves being observed by a network of locals, trying to deter them from mounting raids. Profoundly abnormal.

Fair point from @adambienkov.bsky.social “When Trump last ran for office, there was no shortage of senior UK politicians and commentators who predicted that his re-election would lead to a new era of peace and prosperity for the world.” Where are they now? bylinetimes.com/2026/01/19/i...

Question in Copenhagen: why is Trump focussed on a Russian threat that doesn't exist (in Greenland) as opposed to one where it does (Ukraine)?

Never forget: never let anyone else forget either.

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a "full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum." So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

Reminder of the spectacularly poor judgement of these people

Sounds like a clown. And now he’s joined the Reform circus.
