Reeves’s promise of England pub business rates U-turn averts Labour rebellion. Policies announced, defended and abandoned. Two child benefit cap Winter Fuel Payment Farm IHT Disability benefit cuts Private equity tax Own goals galore by a weak chancellor.

Stephen Miller’s cousin 👇🏽

While Reeves, rightly, condemns Reform's racist policies Labour continues to rip families apart. Labour's anti-immigration policies boil down to saying if you aren't born here you don't count. Labour wraps up xenophobia in slightly nicer language, not always, but the policies are still xenophobic.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Brought to you by the largest single funder of Republicans ever. Every single Republican must be made to answer for this.

Again: If I was anyone in any position of mild authority, I’d look at the out of control wingnut cranks at this newspaper running a two-month hate and terror campaign against *the police* as being pro-Islamist radicals, and I would conclude that they can do this to pretty much anyone they want now.

They shot her and then prevented a doctor from trying to save her. Meanwhile right wing commentators make out having pronouns in her bio somehow 'justifies' this. This is the organisation Badenoch wants to replicate here, while Starmer panders to the man currently painting the victim as the villain.

Make it viral.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

The world capitulates. 150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax. They make profit we fund the cost. The race to the bottom will accelerate.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Denmark's prime minister tells Donald Trump to "stop the threats" about taking over Greenland. King Donald wants to expand his empire and be the master of the universe, create mayhem and destroy NATO. The US isn't a reliable ally. Europe must take charge of its own security.

I mean, at this point a "counter narrative" on X is an image of a fully clothed child

Showed up in my phone’s memories today.

For many of those seeking asylum a mobile phone isn't just a lifeline to keep in contact with loved ones, it's an essential resource in accessing information and resources. State mandated theft is another example of Labour's dehumanisation of people seeking safety www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The Venezuelans are very clear about who their president is – and it’s not Trump

Pete Buttigieg: “It’s an old & obvious pattern. An unpopular president — failing on the economy & losing his grip on power at home — decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one”

Trump's attack on Venezuela will create global instability. Will prolong the Ukraine war. How could the US condemn and sanction Russia? Encourage Putin to kidnap Zelensky. Encourage China to takeover Taiwan. What is the point of the UN if rogue powers can do whatever they want?

Five years, 258,000 followers and much of that time enduring relentless abuse. Then, when musk took over, it escalated, extreme racism, extreme misogyny and zero guardrails. Musk is a racist nazi nonce and I fucking hate him. This was my last comment and I wholeheartedly mean it

Nobody could have predicted this.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

“Whether the outcome is ultimately good for Venezuelans, as I hope, or bad, Trump has betrayed Americans,” Conor Friedersdorf argues. “He could have tried to persuade Congress or the public to give him permission to use force. He didn’t bother.”

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

“We are going to run the country.” Ah, so we’ve skipped the legal fig leaves entirely now. Not democracy. Not justice. Not liberation. Just occupation of a sovereign country. Gotcha. Greenland must be looking at this very carefully.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Racial and religious hate crime on UK public transport is growing, data shows. Nurtured by Reform, Tories and Starmer's "Island of Strangers" speech. Scapegoating minorities for economic/political failures. Without immigration, UK economy can't function.

UK govt should end rail outsourcing ‘racket’. Passenger services brought into public ownership in name only. Privatised security and catering suppliers, £150m profits last year. Rolling stock privatised, public purse to pay £3bn+ to lease it. Lucrative rail freight remains privatised.

The US department of Homeland Security has posted imagining 100 million deportations. The US has a population around 340 million, including 42 million people in America born abroad, about a third of whom lack legal status. Many are citizens now. But there are about 235 million white Americans.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

A clothing charity which supports people in financial difficulties has said it is seeing more working people facing "clothing poverty" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The world’s 500 richest people have total wealth of $11.9tn. Their wealth up by $2.2tn in 2025. 8 billionaires accounting for a 25% of the gains. No one becomes this rich by working. They fund right-wing parties, oppose worker/human rights, cause more pollution than normal people.

"Immigrant Derangement Syndrome is a top-down phenomenon, not a broad popular movement. It reflects the perverse obsessions of MAGAdom, with racism a key component.' To state the obvious, this analysis by @pkrugman.bsky.social also largely applies in the UK/Europe. substack.com/home/post/p-...

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt — Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt"

One nuance often missed is broad majority view that birthplace matters & qualifies undermines ethnonationalism's insistence on ancestry. I have called this "inclusive nativism". Its v difficult to get 3/4 people to reject British identity of a British-born person who sincerely identifies as British

New YouGov research for ippr finds that civic conceptions of being British are held by most people, with a third prioritising birthplace. Reform voters are outliers, against the general public view, weighting ancestry and ethnicity more highly www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The 51st state. Trump demands that the UK allows American chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated meat into its supermarkets. UK already agreed to pay more for US drugs, reduced tax on private equity managers, considering cutting tax on tech companies. 'Tacking back control', someone said.

The UK government back to blackmailing other countries, this time to be able to force people to return to objectively unsafe ones. Labour proving once more to be as bad, if not worse, than pretty much any previous government for decades in relation to immigration. news.sky.com/story/angola...

Yes, but no problem if you're an MP who was sent to prison for beating up his girlfriend.

“Farage had an uneasy end to the year” Where “uneasy” = exposed as racist with corrupt/traitorous links to Russia and useless at running councils. But no worries. They’ll just join forces with the failed Tories to “end the left wing tyranny.” They can all go to hell. (Sunday Times)

This message hits hard.

Man who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax and moved his business to Singapore after the Brexit he voted for wants your sympathy.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage. His first question was: “who funds him?” Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

In case you’re worried about how he’ll cope, here’s a picture of his house.

There's a word for selling political influence for cash... (sadly Reform aren't the first to do so) Via Private Eye
