These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child and even worse - they were introduced without consultation, warning & no evidence base youtu.be/7roDSM-GPBY?...

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

@mrstevenallen.bsky.social It was a bit of a reach… It is mentioned in Shakespeare's play Macbeth, in which a vision informs Macbeth that he "shall never vanquished be, until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him." #Burnham

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

Clickbait and 'AI slop' distort memory of Holocaust. AFP's Fact Check team has noted a surge of such imagery on social networks, distorting the history of Nazi Germany's murder of six million European Jews during World War II u.afp.com/SBzc

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

I'm staging a low budget production of Swan Lake called Toilet Duck.

They're getting the ones who are most emblematic of the no-accountability approach of the previous government. Braverman and Zahawi both resigned after breaking the ministerial code (Braverman returning a week later). Jenrick should have gone for the Richard Desmond planning approval farrago.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

I’m detecting a bit of a link between being a politician and being a deluded, abhorrent, self-absorbed, narcissistic sminge flannel.

@lewisgoodall.com Could Andy Burnham stand as an independent?

They murdered a nurse who cared for military veterans & then called him a terrorist.

I’ve been wondering where all the hobby heroes were.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

There it is…

Labour's ruling committee, which is stuffed full of allies of Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney, has just blocked Andy Burnham from standing to be an MP in Gorton and Denton. The odds of Labour losing this previously safe seat to Reform now look much higher

Sunday, innit

Labour’s NEC blocking Andy Burnham’s parliamentary candidacy is clearly a political move to protect the PM and the feeble “mayoral election expense” story won’t wash with most voters.

So, when Luke single-handedly takes down an AT-AT walker with a grappling line and one grenade, why didn’t word spread that that’s a way to do it..? #StarWars

It's not hyperbolic to say that people in the UK shouting at migrants in hotels, assaulting people in the street, making racist FB comments, will be the ones signing up to whatever force emerges a couple of years into a UK government elected on this white supremacist platform.

I never usually buy the usual arguments about the BBC but the 6 music bulletin this morning gave most of its time to Kristi Noem and more or less in passing mentioned that video evidence showed the bloke to have been unarmed. It was really something.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Artists are left-wing. Farmers are right-wing. Bird-watchers are lapwing.

This is a man stepping in front of a brownshirt in defense of a woman - a concept that is abhorrent to ICE - with his phone in one hand, the other in the air, as he is pepper sprayed. Not a threat. No attempt to assault or assassinate. Your eyes are not deceiving you. Trump, Bondi, and Bovino are

PM of Poland: "On December 22, 2011, in Ghazni, Afghanistan, I took part in the farewell ceremony for the five fallen Polish soldiers. The American officers who accompanied me then, told me that America would never forget the Polish heroes. Perhaps they will remind President Trump of that fact."

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

The way the American government just lies to its citizens is insane. You could be at home sleeping and 5 masked thugs break into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep, and high ranking officials will go on TV and declare you're a terrorist and they acted in self defense
