Sadiq Khan spokesperson: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

The pound sterling has steadily fallen from the year's high of 1.2133 to 1.1456, a fall of 5.6%. The stubborn refusal of the UK government to rejoin the CU and SM is destroying the UK economy. #RejoinEU

Wes Streeting, UK Health Secretary: "I’ve just got to be really clear about this; there is no evidence to link the use of paracetamol by pregnant women to autism in their children. None. So I would just say to people watching: don’t pay any attention whatsoever to what Trump says about medicine.

Guterres: 'Statehood for Palestinians is a right, not a reward' Addressing the audience, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres thanks France and Saudi Arabia for their efforts to rekindle hopes of a two-state solution, "without which there can be no peace in the Middle East". ~France24

Simon Hughes, "Collaboration with our EU neighbours" "A strong commitment to the ECHR and Refugee Convention" "Be tough on Russia and Israel which are seeking territorial encroachment on the territory of others, with further sanctions on them" "And we should oppose English nationalism"

Reform is racist. Let’s just say it. Loudly and often. They’re racist. Don’t take them on on how they plan to fund their nonsense. They don’t care. They don’t say it because they’ve worked it out. They say it for headlines and for voters who want prejudice as policy. They’re racist. They’re failure.

Lib Dems pass motion to push for full UK/EU Customs Union by 2030 The most certain way of ending the cost of living crisis and of boosting the economy

As Trump and his goons strip Americans of our constitutional rights, the silence of the nation’s leadership class is deafening. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/america-without-a-leadership-class

If the Reform Party plan to abolish indefinite leave to remain also abolishes settled status for EU citizens, that would be a breach of the withdrawal agreement, liable to lead to the EU retaliating by removing trade preferences.

Elon Musk and X should now face "the full force of the law" Ed Davey tells Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/e...

My mum has lived in this country for 53 of her 76 years. She came her from France and has lived, worked and had her family here. She is now a pensioner and doesn’t deserve to feel the kind of future-ruining fear and anxiety Farage is causing. This must be resisted, we all need to step up!

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

Bring it on Jo...

Here are some more companies that Disney owns. This is what a monopoly looks like. This is why they have so much power when you look at this list what don’t they own? Boycott everything Disney and never return to a company that’s willing to subvert US democracy. disney.fandom.com/wiki/List_of...

So Reform / Farage want to deport hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of UK residents, turning the country into an effective police state, breaking treaties, and impoverishing the economy and health service? Just focus on all that. The moral gutter of politics.

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Done.

Ed Davey: “If Musk comes to the UK he should be arrested.” He has branded Elon Musk a criminal and called for him to be prosecuted for “allowing online harm to children” on his social media platform X.

It’s September. Its Angoulême circuits des remparts with more Bugattis than you can shake a stick at.

This is one of the most important posts of the day.

Schools, libraries, pharmacies closed. The French people never hesitate to show their feelings about their government.

4 men arrested after images of Trump & Epstein were beamed onto Windsor Castle have been bailed. Thames Valley Police said: "Those arrested are being investigated for a number of possible offences including malicious communications & public nuisance" So, they were arrested for Free speech?

That's a long state banquet table... Almost as long as this banner

Outrageous bollocks from a pathetically thin skinned Government which is willing to humiliate Britain on the international stage to brown nose one of the most dangerous men the world has ever known. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK. Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer. Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

The news media gave almost zero coverage to the Remain marches even though they were far larger than the Musk-Yaxley-Lennon march. The overwhelming majority of British media is paving the way to to-Russian fascist rule.

Do please join a stellar cast tonight for our live Climate Assembly, online and in person. www.theguardian.com/guardian-liv...

BBC News reporting the United Nations, "The commission concluded that Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza" "And that it is continuing with that genocide"

UN Commission says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Care to comment Starmer?

Zoe Gardiner, "The Labour Party left a vacuum over the summer allowing racism run riot on our streets.. I was expecting better" You're not the only one. I've seen snails move faster than Keir Starmer as PM and now Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The shadow education secretary Laura Trott says: "There is clearly an issue in this country at the moment about immigration & migration." Of course there is, because the hatred & bile against immigrants has been whipped up by the Tories & RefUK for years, supported & encouraged by right-wing media.

This must be a watershed moment. The government's continued use of X is no longer simply negligent. It is an act of conscious assistance to violent extremism.

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

The grim salivating of our press at the prospect of spreading more hate about trans people. Has there been an uglier moment in Britain's modern history?

Why indeed?

This is how you protect your democracy. The US is a demonstration of what happens when you don't. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Fortunately, other parties are available who wouldn’t be so shortsighted. Labour are condemning the UK to political and financial isolation.

Mandelson fired due to links with Epstein - govt claims facts unknown at time of his appointment have come to light - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

“MPs get suspended by the party like I did for voting against putting children into poverty. “But calling the world’s most infamous paedophile and child trafficker ‘your best pal’ among other comments, that’s ok? It stinks to high heaven.” Well said @ianbyrnemp.bsky.social #r4today

FINALLY. 👏👏👏

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Every word... 👇👇

Excellent speech by EC President Ursula von Der Leyen... "Informed citizens, who can trust what they read and hear, are essential to keep those in power accountable."

According to SkyPropaganda the overwhelming majority say immigration is too high. The majority of the electorate don't 'think' immigration is the top issue. They are force fed propaganda from the likes of Sky and BBC. Right-wing propaganda rules the UK.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.
