Sam Altman speed running a preventable global mental health crisis while melting the planet and setting up financial markets for the biggest crash since 2008 demands way more coverage than it’s getting imho 🧵👇

And she's since been rewarded by Starmer with a seat in the House of Lords

The government claims it wants to stop small boats crossing the Channel, yet its new policies will make it harder for refugees to bring their spouses and children safely. This will push more women and children onto dangerous dinghies. I asked the Home Secretary if this is really what she supports.

This is the guy who thought making asylum seekers live in a barracks in Inverness was too good for them and that they were too close to the city centre

The most incessant racist faction in British politics takes this message to be "racism works" (It has shifted politics + policy) (Laws believes it is important to racially harass minorities online and in person. He has left Homeland because it is too soft on forced removals of UK-born minorities).

These are the voters that Labour strategists have made very clear over a long period of time that they don't want any more, and it's a message that has now been heard

Wife of complete nut, Lord John Mann

This complete nut (Jo White mp) on #r4today reckons processing asylum claims in IRAQ - setting up offshore processing centres with British civil servants processing claims IN IRAQ is actually a sane or even money saving plan??? 🤯🤯🤯 Lost the plot entirely.

Denmark steals possessions of people seeking asylum, as policy. It returns people to situations where they are killed. Mahmood is copying some of the worst policies going. Labour once again showing it's just another anti-asylum, anti-human rights, government. #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

This would be a much better use of British unions’ money than giving it to the Labour party

Really baffling why people try to make out there's some qualitative difference between Reform & the Tories

Poor guy. Those ballistic vests are designed to protect officers from the impact of bullets, not delicious, well-seasoned sandwiches

George Osborne 2010 before implementing austerity that caused 190k excess deaths: “we’re all in this together” Rachel Reeves 2025:

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world. It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

After a video seemed to show Israeli soldiers abusing a Palestinian prisoner, Israel has... arrested the lawyer who authorised the release of the video www.ft.com/content/0456...

Yes, this is crackpot insanity caused by politicians and journalists winding each other up to hysterical tantrums *that he and his colleagues do not approve of and won’t participate in, this time*, because that IMO is the key difference with the late 2010s.

The people of Sudan are enduring unimaginable suffering - and the world is watching. I have written to the Foreign Secretary demanding the suspension of arms sales to the UAE.

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a £10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

Extract from more recent Goodwin post. He really should never be allowed on the BBC - or any other reputable broadcaster - again.

When a racialised Other commits a violent crime, Goodwin concludes instantly that the reason is their nature as a racialised Other, separate and distinct from an imagined British nature. This belief in intra-group unity and intergroup incommensurability is called Racism. bsky.app/profile/samf...

If you were ever to compare the early parliamentary views and voice of Suella Fernandes MP (elected 2015) to her later views and voice developed as Suella Braverman, the jigsaw pieces do suggest that Mr Rael Braverman (married 2018) may have been quite the vector of radicalisation!

The police continue to investigate the motive for last night's stabbings. Their initial statement is they don't have grounds to believe it was a terrorist motivated attack Elected Reform Durham county councillor Darren Grimes posted this political attack on the assumption it was an Islamist attack

@alexsobel.co.uk Hi Alex, asking as a constituent, are you still on Twitter/X? Can't check myself, obviously, cos I'm not on there.

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

Laurence Fox wrote a song about Charlie Kirk, and this is the only comment on it.

This Nick Boles, what a guy

The clear thread running through Goodwin's career is the drive to imbue his creepy fixation on immigration with the legitimising authority of supposed mass support. Here, audience members have disqualified themselves from the category of "the people" in his eyes by virtue of disagreeing with him.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation” George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

Nice to be in the top 3 named individuals for news on social and video networks in the UK 🥰 But it's not good that there's no other left-wingers there 😬 The left urgently needs to build up an online ecosystem - and reverse the right-wing dominance 🙏 Priority number one! 🎯

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Yair Netanyahu has been appointed to the board of the World Zionist Organization. Runners-up for the role include the Sde Teiman rapists and the guys who gunned down Hind Rajab.

If 104 Israelis were killed every Western leader and media outlet would endorse Israel moving the genocide back up to full speed. They'd denounce it as an attrocity. But when 104 Palestinians are killed Western leaders are silent and media outlets talk about the "ceasefire" being fragile.

The reason this Nazi crank keeps arsing on about Britain specifically is that he has noticed that here, he is pushing at an open door. We should think about why that might be so.

Private rent in UK now swallows 44% of the average wage. Monthly cost jumps to record £1,385 outside London, £2,736 in the capital. Lack of social and affordable housing, no rent controls, as govts appease corporations and the rich. Profiteering creating poverty/despair, stifling economic growth.

Palestinians returning to their homes in Gaza face danger from unexploded ordnance, with at least 53 people killed.

NY AG has created portal to report/upload footage of crimes committed by the violent bigoted morons of ICE. Every state AG should do this. Fuck ICE & any who offer them even tangential support or ignore their rancid, hateful, cowardly crimes. Repost! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Apparently Keir Starmer has been 'making hard graft and progress' 🤔 On what exactly...energy bills? No. Human rights? No. Economic growth? No. Cost of living? No. Resisting the rise of the far right? Fuck no. Stopping genocide? Also, fuck no. Any ideas where this progress might have been made?

Notably, the UK's Online Safety Act has nothing to say about this stuff.

I would have thought LibDem, SNP/Plaid or Green MPs writing to permanent secretary of Home Office or National Statistician might see Home Secretary asked to withdraw the inaccurate claim and replace it with an accurate claim to propose these or other policies. Ipso might say it is comment not fact

The UK is not the destination of choice for asylum seekers in Europe. It is behind Germany & France and is 17th, or 5th at a stretch, of 28 www.gov.uk/government/s...

Home Sec describes a widely held public perception (UK is the destination of choice for asylum seekers in Europe) + endorses it as true. Home Office data shows it is not true. Whatever merits of her policy change, should not make false factual claims www.thesun.co.uk/news/3709465...

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun? Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

The International Court of Justice just dealt genocidal Israel another major legal blow. Four highlights from its ruling today ⬇️
