Seeing this guy outrun ICE is cathartic yet horrifying knowing they’re arbitrarily & unlawfully kidnapping people across the States, often on the basis of racial profiling. ICE are the American gestapo. And it’s about to get much worse after Trump added $180bn to the immigration enforcement budget.

Trump’s ICE agents tried to kidnap a food delivery worker in Chicago - but the guy was too fast for them.

I hope someone's writing an epic paper on Glinner's move to the right.

Blimey. The Conners season 4 is awful.

A 64-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life after a fire at a London hotel housing asylum seekers. This is where we are now. Where are the politicians to call this out? Or do they not want to upset their right wing base? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just seen The Last Laugh at Everyman Playhouse. Good fun. They're all great actors but Simon Cartwright as Bob Monkhouse is mesmerising. everymanplayhouse.com/event/the-la...

Kamala Harris is appealing to oligarchs to save us from the “communist” Donald Trump?!! Good god. I'm not sure which is worse: the ideological-illiteracy or the cynicism. youtube.com/shorts/4PBHE...

A BBC investigation finds asylum seekers trapped in dilapidated hotels, spending years in administrative limbo, indebted to criminal gangs and yes, moved arbitrarily so that they have to take taxis across the country for routine GP appointments. Government response? Stop the taxis.

People seeking asylum don't choose to stay in hotels or to use taxis. If a man was sent on a 250-mile journey to visit a GP at a cost of £600, it wasn't his choice. He doesn't have the power to make that decision. These are vulnerable people in a foreign country. You're angry at the wrong people.

Antifa sabotaged the escalator.

He's a journalist like I'm a part-time lettuce farmer from Utrecht called Volslagen Onzin

"Sexual objectification but make it empowering" is so 20th century.

Cambodia and Armenia woke up not knowing they’ve been fighting each other According to the president, Armenia has also been fighting Albania and Aberbaijan - not to confuse with Azerbaijan

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

It's ridiculous that so-called lefties are still using Musk's social media platform at all.

This is the sort of deportation I can support. searchlightmagazine.com/2025/09/tomm...

Sultana, a supposed socialist, threatening other socialists with defamation lawyers is worse than when she called feminists bigots who weren't welcome in Your Party. An unserious, immature, egotistical politician who's making Greens (and hypnotits) look sane. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Your Party.

Acting unilaterally in what's supposed to be a unified party of the left then instructing (no doubt expensive) specialist lawyers to sue (other lefties?) for defamation. Oh how very socialist!

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

The predictability of the Your Party implosion is as irritating as it is boring.

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

I doubt they intend to bother with any of that. They'll just arrest anyone suspected of anti fascism.

Look who came with

I'm amused that Zarah Sultana is upset by SEXism when she thinks she's affected but she's happy to call other women bigots for opposing it!

TV shows cancelled, people sacked or put on black lists... all for daring to speak the truth about "free speech warrior" Charlie Kirk. America has plunged head first into some very dark territory indeed. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm definitely going to stream the recent episodes of South Park.

Really?! This is the text evidence?! There's more convincing dialogue on Hollyoaks?

It's not as simple as tolerating shared online spaces. It's also not centre or centre-right. Using X means abuse, threats, lies, misinformation, disinformation, putting money in the pockets of cynical far right grifters. I'd not do this offline so can't comprehend why I'd do it online.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

It's good to see our BBC reporting accurately and fairly.

Starmer isn't leading. He isn't a leader. Labour won, not Starmer. Labour won because there seemed little alternative. Starmer chasing rather than leading has increased Reform's chances as an alternative. Starmer is incompetent at best, dangerous at worst. He definitely needs to go. I'm not a Tory.

This is on my journey to work. Nothing like the threat of male violence to brighten your morning. Anarchists are like Peter Pan: never grow up.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Really needs to stop presenting it as grassroots working class movement. Defend struggling working class people but recognise "...the platform was graced by a procession of leading international far-right figures." Funded by billionaires not a cry from below!! searchlightmagazine.com/2025/09/hist...

Giving Kirk credit for his “open debates” is textbook revisionism. Throughout his podcasting career, he weaponized the guise of dialogue to fuel propaganda, radicalize the right, particularly the young, while normalizing cruelty, racism & misogyny. That’s not debate. That’s indoctrination. 🛑

It's my birthday next week and I've already been gifted eight bottles of wine. Eight.

The corrupt far right billionaires behind the duped eejits who marched claiming to 'unite the kingdom'. Their funding only brings division. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

"... so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion ...". Does that mean that some don't?!

Just looked through Graham Linehan's X feed and he now makes Morrissey look reasonable.

This is where an uncritical defence of "free speech" leads.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

I don't accept that human beings can change sex and I firmly believe that matters, in love, life and law, when trans identifying men claim to be women. But nor do I accept this warped persecution of trans people and politicized guilt by association.

The Guardian f*cked up! They claimed, citing an unnamed high school friend, that suspect Tyler Robinson was the lone “leftist” in a family of “very hard” Republicans. They later retracted it with an editor’s note after the source admitted they couldn’t reliably recall their connection to Robinson.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.
