This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party. Just remember that as they continue to attack us. This is who they are. Mask is off.

🔴The Case for Charging Peter Mandelson With Misconduct in Public Office An example must be set for all politicians considering abusing their office for personal gain, argues barrister Gareth Roberts bylinetimes.com/2026/02/03/t...

There's more. On 31 March 2010, Lord Mandelson's principal private secretary sent him a note of a meeting between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Larry Summers, US Treasury Secretary. Lord Mandelson forwarded it to Jeffrey Epstein five minutes later.

@karinsmythmp.bsky.social : "The ideal action is for Peter Mandelson to resign [from the Lords]" Shameful. Labour allowed Mandelson to resign from the party rather than kicking him out & they are now extending the same courtesy to him in the Lords

House of Lords should strip Mandelson of peerage, says Starmer. That alone won't do. Mandelson leaked sensitive govt info. How many times did he do so? Who benefited from the leaks? Mandelson advised Starmer. Starmer made him US ambassador. What did Starmer know?

😕

If you don’t put Wes on the big cinema screens, we will boo, play with our phones and slash the seats. Well thanks for that lads, have you considered fucking off and getting a proper job

Remember that the UK has far, far weaker protections against state power than did the US. And the latter folded up like a pack of cards. The US is a warning from the British future.

Palantir was a warning sign. Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment. All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Atrocity upon atrocity

This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

Francesca Nadin: The Palestine hunger strikers are being singled out for worse treatment Spot on. The CPS says the max time a prisoner can spend on remand is 6mths, but 2 of the hunger strikers were arrested in Nov 2024 & wont be tried until at least June. Thats 20mths on remand

Again with the abandonment of law and societal norms. It's a recurring theme.

Palestine Action activist Heba Muraisi, 31, said to be “near death” after 70 days on hunger strike,

Jarlov: “The only ones threatening Greenland are the Americans. We are not worried about China or Russia in Greenland. Only the USA.”

Not sure why John has made up that I have a "first preference." In fact I've repeatedly said - including to the Independent - it's not my role to pick the future Labour leader. I'm focused on growing the Green Party. Not convinced people should be allowed to make things up and publish them....

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months." Shameful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s unclear how charging for the image editing will block controversial outputs, as Grok’s problematic safety guidelines remain intact.

I write in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social about the laws that are broken when online AI platforms facilitate the production of child sex abuse material. No new laws are needed. Companies (and their executives) are accountable as well as users. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Well, I think we know who the world's wealthiest child pornographer is.

Republican bullies deploy more threats against the UK to protect their big tech corporate allies.

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Keir Starmer's spokesman says X limiting deep fake images to paid users "simply turns a feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service. It's not a solution.. it's insulting the victims of misogyny and sexual violence." Still won't commit to a ban or to stop posting there

Smh.

Threatening to disconnect Elon Musk's X in Europe would be unprecedented, but it might be time to play that card

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

❗️📽️ NEW VIDEO "WHO'S PAYING FOR YOUR LUNCH?" We asked UK politicians why they went to a Labour Friends of Israel lunch www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TgN...

Alternative headline: humiliating and abusing women on X by digitally undressing them is now a privilege reserved to paying users.

I am horrified by the murder of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent. This is what fascism looks like in real time, where a far-right government emboldens a violent death squad to terrorise communities with impunity.

"Pregnant women & new born babies in Gaza are facing whats been described as catastrophic conditions" "and there are fears the situation will deteriorate further with Israel revoking the licenses of 37 intl NGOs working in Gaza & the [occupied] West Bank" The genocide continues

Just checking with how Starmer's crusade to ban apps that produce deep fakes is going

Of course, in the UK "regulators" are never really regulators. Their raison d'etre is political: to dress political goals in regulatory clothing, to act as reputational buffer zones, to gaslight outsiders like you and I into thinking regulation exists. But never, god forbid, to regulate.

News reader telling herself, remember the memo, remember the memo, remember the memo. "since Nicolas Maduro was... er... seized" phew. remembered the memo

No one is asking Wes Streeting to be a commentator. Asking him to be a government minister when the whole world can see Trump breaking international law whilst threatening Greenland next, and the Cabinet (with Nigel Farage) seems perfectly fine with it.

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : Maduro is recognised as the president of Venezuela by a vast number of countries Darren McCaffrey: Iran, Russia Corbyn: and the UK, which has diplomatic relations with Venezuela at this very moment. Maybe McCaffrey didn't know that?

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Nailed it

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state. The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

The Trump administration planned exactly 0️⃣ steps ahead.

Happy new year! It’s them, or all of us.

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.
