We are overtaking the Conservatives and on the cusp of overtaking Labour too. More and more people are backing the Liberal Democrats to stand up to Reform and stop Trump’s America becoming Farage’s Britain.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

🔴Where Is the Opposition to Nigel Farage’s Immoral Mass Deportation Plan? Keir Starmer’s refusal to explicitly condemn Farage's plans to tear thousands of families and communities apart is only clearing his path to Downing Street, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

As the UN concludes that Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian people in Gaza, @iainoverton.bsky.social says the UK must formally end all military and other support for Israel's genocidal campaign or risk being complicit in the gravest crime in human history.

I have four basic concerns about the future: global warming, the impact of AI, fake news on social media and the rise of authoritarianism. I feel the last three are very connected. And the last one especially will do nothing to stop the first.

Anduril Industries (US) had approximately 3,500 employees in 2024. Meanwhile Anduril UK reported just 29 employees last year. Just because you put a flag on it does not mean it means you are all for British workers @anduriltech.bsky.social

So, Anduril Industries, an American defense technology company that specializes in autonomous systems, posting this on the Jubilee Line platforms? A company backed by Peter Thiel no less. A company awarded £62m in UK contracts since 2021 no less. This stinks to high fucking heaven (as usual)

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.
