Far right extremist Tommy Robinson endorses Matt Goodwin. A vote for Reform is a vote for division, hate, and all that goes with it.

"Raise the Colours are just laughing at the city, they think they are untouchable. They don't even live in Birmingham. And when brave individuals do stand up to them, they are intimidated and harassed. It has to stop."

On #HMD2026 we remember the six million Jews and five million Roma, LGBTQ+. disabled, political opponents and others murdered by the Nazis, alongside victims of subsequent genocides. Prejudice still continues to day within our communities and across the UK.

If the Greens defeat Farage in Gorton and Denton, it'll change politics forever. I think that's worth donating a few quid to, don't you? donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/parliamentar...

Suella Braverman has joined Reform, saying "I feel like I've come home." Suella voted against * Banning exploitative zero-hour contracts * Banning fire and rehire * Sick pay from day one * Improved parental leave

It's almost a decade since the horrors of the Windrush scandal became public. People are still living in the shadow of its misery. Imagine this level of misery amplified tenfold, a hundredfold, in the event of Reform/Tory plans to create a British ICE and enact mass deportations.

This is Reform - taking healthcare away from you to make money for private insurance firms. Reform hate you. They just want your money to go to their rich friends. Don't ever vote for them.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens. Call it what it is — fascism. History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

Pictures that appear to show men in balaclavas slashing ‘migrant dinghies’ have been widely shared online. Although there have been reports of people destroying small boats, these dramatic images aren’t real and were likely made with AI.

is it good behaviour to say to someone you’re using an all-BAME shortlist cynically to block somebody

Seems that, no matter how hard I try, I always end up writing about wanting to fight Robert Jenrick. So I guess I'm just going to have to fight Robert Jenrick. I don't make the rules. 🤷

Still mind- boggling that a mid and midweek Europa League fixture became a matter of National Importance for three months.

Jenrick claimed he went to Reform for conscience rather than preservation. Would he have done the same if this was law?

Fortunately, the British government continues to have no problem with them bullying brown people and doxxing asylum seekers, or hurling sexist abuse at women, in the West Midlands, so The Lads won't be short of things to do.

“actions that are violent in nature or incite hatred have no place on our territory"

The French Interior Ministry confirmed on Wednesday that the prohibition, enacted on Tuesday, prevents activists from the “Raise the Colours” group from entering or remaining in French territory.

"Today’s far-right seems to have learned from Jordan’s example and failure. Openly displaying Nazism is political suicide. However, soft-pedalling fascist ideas as acts of national pride... continue to play a more crucial role in expanding the limits of acceptable political discourse."

The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners. Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night. The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us £4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

#Bardot - being an “animal lover” seems to be as useful for propagating racist shit as caring about “women and girls”. It’s care based on weaponisable emotional attachments to single issues rather than a broader politics of care as a response to a violent interrelationship of power relations.

Virtually impossible to find the tweets in question, rather than other people's commentary on the tweets. But why is the default punishment option for people of colour from the Right now always deprivation of citizenship? Did anyone ever advocate that for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon?

Leo, who has made care for immigrants and the poor key themes of his early papacy, said Jesus’ birth showed God’s presence in every person. “On earth, there is no room for God if there is no room for the human person. To refuse one is to refuse the other.”

Imran Ahmed, an ex-Labour adviser who now heads the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), and Clare Melford, CEO of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), were labelled "radical activists" by the Trump administration and banned from entering the US.
