Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does. E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.

🔥 Britain is about to launch a new GCSE in natural history – a vital step toward restoring our knowledge of and respect for the natural world.

Why would any government welcome a man like Tommy Robinson? The only one I could ever think of doing that would be a Reform government. Tommy Robinson is Nigel Farage’s guilty pleasure. Two peas in a pod.

"When mass slaughter is happening in Palestine we will not be silent. When govts try to silence dissent we wont be silent & when KS.. recognise[s] a Palestinian state at the same time his govt is an active participant in the murdering of the Palestinians we will never be silent"

"... the unjust demonisation of Israel spills over & contributes to an anti Jewish tone in this country" The Chief Rabbi vilifying people who oppose genocide & talking about "our values" Israel is a genocidal apartheid state & my values include opposing apartheid & genocide

"Unions in Italy are holding a general strike in solidarity with Palestine" Milena Veselinovic reports from Rome.

David Lammy uses his address at a vigil for the victims of the Manchester synagogue to call on people not to protest over the weekend Lammy is part of a govt thats supporting and assisting the extermination of the Palestinian people & he doesn't want us protesting about that

"Migration is Britain’s superpower. Our future depends on embracing that truth, not denying it" Bravo 👏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Polanski: "The proscription of Palestine Action must be withdrawn" - noting that Lib Dems failed to vote against the ban. The Green leader calls it an attempt to "silence dissent" "The alarm bells of authoritarianism are ringing loud and clear" he says

Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle who has the presence of an old slipper and is as wet as a sopping dish cloth, cost us over £56,000 crossing the globe on “parliament-related business” over 9 months FGS 🤷🏼‍♂️ Yup the drip who let Johnson & the Tories get away with murder, knows how to abuse expenses❗️😡

Don't spread this Nigel Farage really wants it to disappear.

History repeats.

Join us every day, as we observe a minute’s silence in honor of the soldiers, men, women, and children who perished in this savage war. They laid down their lives not only for Ukraine, but for all of Europe! RIP - Vladyslav Sydorchuk, Dmytro Sierkov (23), Mark Sukhov (27), Oleksandr Chernov (34)

The winds that awakened the stars Are blowing through my blood. W. B. Yeats

The greatest threat to our democracy, freedom, and human rights is not Farage. It is the overwhelming majority of the British news media. They promote Farage, and they protect Farage. If they carry on like this, we will soon have no democracy.

Britain’s electoral system can now give a majority to a party backed by only a third of voters. In the Netherlands, their proportional system limits power to a true majority. Time we learned a lesson? @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

It should be thoroughly investigated. It was always obvious the campaign for Brexit was riddled with corruption. Brexit is a horror, it’s bad for Britain, and it should be undone. #russian #brexit @channel4news.bsky.social please expose and challenge the government

Further reminder - some of those currently trying to weaponise yesterday’s tragedy to fuel Islamophobia have a documented history of antisemitism. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says ‘Islamophobia and antisemitism are two sides of the same coin’.

What a first day of conference! @greenparty.org.uk is here - and ready to win. www.channel4.com/news/zack-po...

Yes! He was outstanding on the dire bbc R4 morning news this morning. A good change. Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social

HARD AGREE.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95% Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Here's Farage parroting Russian propaganda lies that could have come straight out of Lavrov's mouth. Are we really to believe that Nathan Gill, who spouted the same lies, is the only Russian asset in Reform UK.

After clashing with Maurice Glasman recently, I've come to realise just how pernicious he and his Blue Labour movement are. We could discuss his chumminess with Steve Bannon and JD Vance, endless pandering to the far right and evident hatred of the Labour left. But there's something even worse. 🧵

In trying to elicit sympathy, The Teleform may have landed Farage in trouble instead. I don't see this declared as a donation anywhere in his register of interests...

The highest electricity prices in the world, the highest train fares in Europe and rivers full of sewage. It's almost as if privatisation was fundamentally flawed.

Director of the Danish Defence Intelligence Service Thomas Ahrenkiel: “It is our assessment that Russia is currently waging a hybrid war against Denmark and the West.”

Zack Polanski gets a big welcome at Green conference (obviously). Carla Denyer welcomes him by saying he has already 'been breaking the internet'

Detail of a new painting inspired by a dream of a hybrid creature I rescued..

Reminder that Nathan Gill, who pleaded guilty to 8 counts of Putin's bribery was quite central to Refuk as Reform UK Leader in Wales. He was close to Farage, Tice, Yusuf, GB NEWS’s Daubney, Reform’s Reckless and former MEP Alex Phillips. Refuk's Kremlin 🐀🐀 silence is deafening.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...
