You'd be forgiven to think that 'prisoner releases in error' were a unique problem for the Labour govt. However figures from Justice Dept for Tory FY show 2010/1 63 2011/2 42 2012/3 44 2013/4 50 2014/5 49 2015/6 64 2016/7 72 2017/8 66 2018/9 64 2019/20 50 2020/1 46 2021/2 54 2022/3 81 2023/4 115

Zohran Mamdani demonstrating empathy and caring. Something incredibly rare in politicians, and totally absent from Republicans.

Can we expect Starmer's government to wake up to this threat, before it is too late? PS... it may already be too late.

This certainly paid for his swimming pool, and some!

"Right-wing content was shown most prominently, regardless of users' political leaning". "...right-wing voices dominating and the algorithm pushing posts to new users that don't align with their interests. How much more evidence is needed? X is a radicalising tool.

Zohran Mamdani: "My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty"

Rachel Reeves says we have a £25 billion black hole Rachel Reeves knows Brexit makes us £40 billion poorer Rejoining the EU would give us a £15 billion surplus Why doesn't Labour want what's best for the UK? Tax rises? That'll be Brexit

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

Sky News: 'Badenoch defends Tories record on the economy' 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure his Labour MPs are all too aware of the extent to which Brexit has recked the UK, but credit to Keir Starmer for finally realising what the rest of the sane world knew nine years ago.

No migrants have been recorded crossing the English Channel for 11 days, the longest gap without an incident so far this year. Maybe even asylum seekers now realise what a shit place the UK has become?

Socialism with a human face: 'Alongside the issue of inequality, @zackpolanski.bsky.social has sought to challenge the heavy demonisation of immigration, calling the phenomenon of the “boats” an obsession, arguing instead that immigration is essential to enhancing the UK’s labour force' ~ theboar

This is what happens when governments vilify migrants...

Is there any chance Starmer could adopt a sensible plan that actually works?

If you're "staying on X to fight the Nazis"...you're very much not winning

According to scientists hurricane Melissa has been predominantly caused by climate change. But hey - let's all keep listening to people who know fuck all about it and tell us there isn't a problem.... even as the oil lobby funds them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

The pound continues to plunge against the Euro:

Exactly this 👇👇

Finally, a politician talking sense... @zackpolanski.bsky.social: “I think rejoining the CU is something we should be doing as soon as possible” “Over longer term, absolutely we should be rejoining the EU". “I think Brexit was a catastrophic decision".

Prunella Scales was one of the most successful and popular comedy actresses of her generation - achieving worldwide fame and recognition as Sybil, the long-suffering wife of Basil Fawlty in the sitcom Fawlty Towers. RIP Prunella Scales 1932-2025

I don't know who to credit this image to, but anyway, they got the price wrong. That 2/9d should read £122 million

“Despite the rainforest being a few thousand miles away from the UK, its destruction affects us all....hiding a damning report to inform the public is morally wrong and questions the UK government’s commitments and leadership.” says Martin Simmoneau, Head of Advocacy at Cool Earth.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

UN head: "The truth is that we've failed to avoid overshooting above 1.5C in the next few years. Going above 1.5C has devastating consequences. Some of these devastating consequences are tipping points, be it in the Amazon, Greenland, western Antarctica or the coral reefs". #ClimateCrisis

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "You are famous for talking about refugees, Palestinians" Richard Gere, "Do you really believe what these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin, what these guys say?" "Or do you look at your heart and go: the world isn't like that?"

Richard Gere helping Asylum Seekers, RT if he is a billion times the man Nigel Farage is.

Zack Polanski on renationalising water companies, "Shareholders can't say stock not worth anything then expect payment to renationalise"

Absolutely astonishing. In plain sight. Not a peep from the mainstream media.

This is an important letter from asylum seekers, explaining their situation. Racists should read this before opening their mouths. They won't of course. Politicians should read it before making incorrect assumptions about their 'benefits'. Few will of course.

Europe has weathered Trump's tariff onslaught better than initially feared...

The nursing union has urged the government to stop using anti-migrant rhetoric, which it said was putting staff at risk. That this needs to be said is shocking. Sadly, it is necessary.

Wes Streeting: the biggest takeaway from the Caerphilly defeat is that "collectively as a team, we're not telling a compelling enough story about who we are, who we're for, & what it is we are driving to do". I fear that Labour ARE telling enough about who they are, and who they are for.

Wes Streeting: "There is a deep disillusionment in this country at the moment, and I would say a growing sense of despair about whether anyone is capable of turning this country round”. Well, maybe take a look in the mirror Wes?

Five survivors invited on to the child sexual exploitation inquiry panel have written to say they will continue working with the investigation only if Jess Phillips remains in post adding she’s “devoted her life to hearing & amplifying voices of women & girls who would have otherwise been unheard”

Mehdi Hasan, "Is rejoining the EU a Green Party aim" Zack Polanski, "Yes it is" And just like that, the Green Party have leapfrogged the LibDems

Great explanation of why conservatives (including Starmer's Labour) are constantly cutting welfare. As usual, it's not about 'balancing the budget' or anything like that. It's a cynical, deliberate strategy to make the rich richer.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Pretty shocking, this, from a barrister and former Lord Chancellor. Shabana Mahmood, disgracefully peddling misinformation about the Human Rights watchdog.

An indication of just how far the UK has fallen, with precious little media comment. 👇👇

The UK could learn a lesson from how the French deal with corrupt ex-leaders.

The more I think about her actual words, and how appallingly under-reported/understood they still seem to be, the more shocked & disgusted I am.

(Prince) Andrew needs to be fully investigated by the Metropolitan Police. Repost if you agree.

Global internet outage connected to Amazon Web Services. Now, where did I put those two bean cans and string? 🤷‍♂️

I'd sooner trust a stoned monkey with a bag of hand grenades than this lot with the economy.

Trump reverting to type: Trump 'threw maps as Zelenskyy meeting descended into shouting match'

Reuters may have captioned this photo more accurately than it appears.

Brexit in action. One of the largest mussel exporters in Britain loses £150,000 after three lorries were prevented from entering the EU a “We’ve lost a lot of money in the last few weeks just on these failed loads and it’s not something we can continue to do,”

Adil Ray, "This is now a story about whether Prince Andrew should drop his titles" "That's not the story here" "If he's innocent, as he says he is, why not testify?" "He is a key witness. Help victims who want some kind of justice"

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Look around. Every corner of this country is awake. People flooding the streets not out of hate, but out of love—for each other, for freedom, for the idea that we still matter. They want us to be afraid. To stay home. To be quiet. We refuse. This is what democracy looks like.
