Ed Davey, "Who was it who campaigned to rip up 27 return agreements, where, in the EU, the UK could legally and fairly return asylum seekers who had no right to be here" "Yes it was Boris Johnson and the Conservatives, but it was also Nigel Farage"

Ed Davey’s “Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain” is better. Hopefully it will start to gain traction. But unlikely in our media hellscape

If anyone wants to know how Trump’s UN speech is going… he’s had a pop at Sadiq Khan, mentioned antisemitic conspiracies about the globalist migration agenda and is currently dribbling into the microphone while the whole assembly wonders what happened to the United States of America.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Russia's disinformation campaign continues, and having expanded onto Truth Social with Charlie Kirk's death, they're now making content for Truth Social that's all Charlie Kirk related, and pushes buttons related to the LGBTQ+ community, and Ukrainian refugees.

On Kennedy’s claim that nobody over 70 has autism… the timeline of history begs to differ. www.verywellhealth.com/autism-timel...

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

Trump tells women not to take pain relief. The misogyny should be writ large and these medieval Christians want women to go back to the days of suffering through pregnancy in order to have a more spiritual experience.

Your reminder that Tylenol is not in the UK and yet autistic people exist. Must be the fault of paracetamol.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Finally, someone with tiny media coverage has said it 🤦

This is corrupt

The “Boriswave” is a DIRECT consequence of the Brexit Farage pushed. If journalists and politicians were any good at their jobs they would nail Farage to the mast for that. The failure to do so and the pearl clutching about Reform being dangerous to democracy just don’t wash.

Desperately bad stuff www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Reform are filth. They represent hatred, extremism, ignorance and irresponsibility. They'd make us a wretched vicious hateful little island. If people don't stand up to this, they won't stand up to anything.

It’s the Brexit wave but before anyone else has bothered to say it, reform are branding it the Boris wave. How do Labour keep letting them set the agenda?!

He’s the best at something then

“the use of a digital ID should not be mandated. We should have the option to say no to any demand that we have a digital ID, without prejudice or negative repercussions.” www.wired.com/story/digita...

Are we waking up to the reality of biological essentialism and how it actively harms women by upholding ridiculous standards of how to prove you’re a woman? No, of course we’re not, we’re going to double down on our ridiculous concepts of gender while watching it obliterate the dignity of women

You know, this also applies to the left. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that it’s only the right who are being manipulated by algorithms. The despondency on the left is also part of this agenda - if we’re overwhelmed with bad, we can also turn our attention to the wrong issues.

It’s been an ugly week to be away: America’s drift into authoritarianism is speeding up, Trump’s on his second state visit and funding for dissenting voices is still paper-thin. Time to talk free speech, fascism and imbalance.

Online safety really doing its job here. You can’t make the online world safer for kids unless you are willing to regulate and fine the tech companies who are abusing them. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Great to see this develop. It’s time the majority of women were heard and not the small minority who are spreading fear and hate. Protect women by all means, from the actual threats and not the imagined ones.

We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

Where’s JK to condemn this? Bindel? Anyone??

Corbyn, like Farage, has too big an ego to play well with others. Time and again. Laughable that anyone thought he could run the country well www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Incredible from The Spectator suggesting everything that came after Weimar was an improvement. Not for Jews, LGBT people, people of colour, gypsies and literally anyone who wasn’t white/pure enough it wasn’t. They openly think fascism will be an improvement. The whole establishment does.

Does anyone know where our backbone is?

As we agree to have honking great big data centres destroying our environment and soaking up all the water, I can’t help but think that Silicon Valley are running a Ponzi scheme where they’re just going to take the money and run. This video perfectly illustrates the con.

This is why trans people say that cis women will be the ones most affected by gender critical hate towards trans women.👇 And cis women having to prove that they are ‘biologically’ female WILL also happen in the UK if this Labour govt rubber stamps the EHRC ‘guidance’. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What this says to me is Farage isn’t at all popular and if the Lib Dems bother to formulate a useful media strategy they could actually take on Labour and Farage. But they won’t because they’re Lib Dems.

Russia moved to amplify online conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s killing just hours after it happened, seeding social media with the frightening claim that America is slipping into civil war.

So Starmer’s tariff deal with Trump was not what it appeared. And yet we’ve signed another one 🤦‍♂️ I’m in the Guardian explaining why the Tech deal is even worse. Handing more power to US tech barons is not the answer to our problems. 1/3 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
