“Shame must change sides.”

There is more about this world we don't know, and often the further remote, the greater our ignorance. Not wilful, not nasty, not for any wicked reason. Just because we're less exposed to & less informed about that part of the globe. I love those that help w/o judgment (& a bit of humour 😉).

A classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Tremendous coverage from @channel4news.bsky.social on the science of #AMOC collapse 👏 Do take the time to watch this and take it in. This story needs to be shared and absorbed. #EmergencyOnPlanetEarth

My old pal @mortenmorland.bsky.social celebrating my 15th anniversary in Downing Street in style

Only 2% of the Epstein files released per C4 news investigation www.channel4.com/news/epstein...

This sounds like an excellent idea.

I can't quite believe that in the midst of the Epstein p*dophile scandal the WH is unaware how this looks. The most likely explanation is that it's intentional trolling. In a culture that confuses bullying & cruelty with strength, its still members seem to find perverse enjoyment in doing so.

Imagine.

This is big. Fifty leading academics, former senior officials and experts in politics, policy and law have signed a letter warning about the dangers of the UK’s First Past the Post voting system #MakeVotesMatter www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Hypocrisy alert 🚨 It’s ok for Tommy Robinson to flee his homeland to find safety. Pleading for his ‘fans’ to pay. He’s also a criminal with a lengthy rap sheet. Exactly the type of person who Tommy would decry being let into his own country of residence. Wonder why he thinks he’s so different?

Once you’ve snorted cocaine off toilet seats, you can do anything.

Nadhim Zahawi walked past a tired guy in London recently....our thoughts and prayers are with him at this difficult time

The Dublin Agreement was a huge deterrent. People knew if they arrived in UK & had claimed elsewhere, approved or denied, they would immediately be returned. Now that data sharing is no longer an automatic right. The UK lost access to several shared mechanisms when it left the EU

How re-assuring. If you’re a banker that is.

"The general approach of the monarchy and the establishment or whatever you want to call it has always been to imply that no one knows whether Andrew, who had 24-hour top-level protection, was where he said he was at any given time." Exactly. They know more than they're letting on.

There’s always a post

Yet another example of how, in Britain, if you're an authoritarian neo-nazi, you can airily dismiss judgements of the High Court if you happen to find them inconvenient. Reform government, anybody? 🤮

They are trolling Jim Ratcliffe.

Palantir is suing the Swiss magazine Republik who pointed out Palantir's links to ICE and the Genocide in Gaza, which caused the Swiss Government to call them a catastrophic threat and ban Palantir from Swiss Government.

“The MP, Stella Creasy, said: “I long for the days when a midlife crisis for men meant getting a motorbike and a leather jacket, not trying to [get] elected so they could indulge their alt right fantasies about ensuring women were pregnant as soon as they were fertile and then didn’t go to uni.”

Kemi's latest messaging needs work imo

The detail is a bit light weight after the last couple of weeks, but it is the national broadcaster telling us again and again that the king's brother lied. #BBCPM

Absolute madness and depravity.

Donald Trump's morality is quite like my stamp collection. I don't have a stamp collection.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

People travelling to the United Kingdom need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), unless they have a visa or leave to remain. ℹ️ www.gov.uk/eta

The Guardian's Jillian Ambrose unpicks the many tens of millions in state support that Jim Ratcliffe's businesses have accepted, after the billionaire railed against people on benefits (and claimed Britain was being "colonised" by immigrants while himself having moved to tax-free Monaco).

Fantastic result, well done to all who fought for this Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful

Very glad the proscription of #PalestineAction has today been found to be unlawful. The Green Party will always stand against authoritarian crackdowns on peaceful protest and continue to fight for peace and justice for victims of the genocide in Gaza.

Pls read whole piece. Neither Mandelson or Mosley were asked about Mandelson’s role in fixing Starmer’s visit to Palantir & subsequent £240m deal. It finally made headlines on Weds when a q was asked in Parliament. But honestly, BBC also has qs to answer open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

The UK should swiftly follow suit. Unfortunately I cannot trust this Government to even look at the matter. Let alone decide to act. www.newscase.com/palantirs-sw...

Under his eye!

Couldn’t find a handmaid…

“If any criticism is needed, it should be directed towards those who have offered little contribution to our life here and have instead spent years siphoning wealth out of one of our proudest institutions.” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍

Good to see some backbone appearing. Enough of fake plastic patriots talking Britain down. Strip him of his knighthood unless he recants and starts paying tax www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Public reporting deters crime. We urge it for burglary, assault, fraud — so why not road danger?? Reporting helps tackle reckless driving and save lives. The Daily Mail mocking this as “villainy” misses the point. Accountability on our roads protects everyone. www.the-londoner.co.uk/jeremy-vine-...

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

My God... 😢 'Lucy Harrison, from Warrington, was shot in the chest by her father while visiting him in Texas, after arguing about Donald Trump, an inquest has heard. No criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury declined to indict him.' #c4news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

-WHAT DO WE WANT?! Brexiters:- "To diverge from the EU so that we have the right to consume per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances which have been linked to a series of serious health issues including cancer -WHEN DO WE WANT IT?! Brexiters:- NOW! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Now more details in the Epstein files reveal Bannon as part of a successful plot to topple Theresa May with Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg, here’s an article from the archive about Johnson and Bannon’s collaboration bylinetimes.com/2023/04/24/b...

“But now the U.S. government isn’t even pretending to espouse human rights and democracy, and is willing to behave criminally in public more often to more people.” Excellent piece on what’s happening in the USA where the govt is essentially introducing a system of gulags.

If people who are in work are also receiving benefits to make ends meet, the benefits system is subsidising the corporates, not the people. A fact that seems under-reported.
