If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

It's no coincidence that Raise the Colours are back the week after Stirchley elected a Green Councillor of Palestinian descent. The fact that Labour encouraged this group is a disgrace

Great day for Blue Labour

Should Starmer just sack Streeting now?

The 4th ed of Blackstone's Guide to the Anti-Terrorism Legislation is published today. This is the first edition in 12 years and, at times, it felt like a Sisyphean task as counter-terrorism law is nothing if not ever-changing. So it’s great to finally see this out. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

What could possibly go wrong?

He tried to break Kayfabe and it didn't work; not just with Blue Labour but with the electorate too. ukconstitutionallaw.org/2025/10/09/a...

Wes Streeting would enter an Inferiority Complex Competition thinking he would win.

Someone's just said on the BBC that the UK has "a very top down presidential-type system".

Amazing. 7 minutes apart.

The fact that the heave is being initiated by those on the right of the party such as Streeting or Mahmood really is something. I know it's because the left have been purged but just the sheer delusion of them thinking that they'll do better rather than realising that they're the problem.

King's Speech tomorrow...

📢🚨JOB KLAXON🚨📢 Next year I'll be on a @leverhulme.ac.uk Research Fellowship working on my monograph, so Newcastle has a 1yr fixed term vacancy to cover Legal Theory/Reasoning and Animal Law: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DRM114/l... Niche - but happy to take any Qs people may have. Please share widely!

Petition to rename universities "Brain Forges". "Britain needs brains. Brains are essential to Britain's national security interests. We can't rely exclusively on imported brains." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

We asked for hope, you gave us hate. We asked for change, you gave us red lines We asked for compassion, you gave us Shabana Mahmood.

No tie and sleeves rolled up-- Starmer means business.

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

I think he just needs to get Shabana Mahmood to tell progressives to fuck off more.

Turns out that the 'Blue' in Blue Labour stands for 'sad'.

Every three minutes on Bluesky today: oh that's a delightful name for a town! Dudly-on-Friendton. I see they have voted for the Murdering Orphans party.

Oh yeah, Canvas was hacked.

I get the feeling that a lot of people go to the polls in the UK thinking that regardless of who they vote for, things are going to get worse. So you're voting for the party that will either blow it up or make it worse more slowly. And I think that's a very dangerous place for a democracy to be in.

Keir Starmer learning from the Liam Rosenior School of Leadership. That'll save his job...

Has anybody tried turning England off and then back on again?

The Dillon case is available at the following link. It effectively reduces the Windsor Framework's rights and equality protections, as litigable measures, to the Six Annex 1 Directives. Any broader UK Government pledges are just ashes in the mouth: supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc...

“Too stupid, Draconian and plainly vexatious for David Blunkett” is quite a high bar to have leaped

I’m always disappointed by the lack of election posters in this country. Is it really a democracy if you don’t have at least 5 meaty faces with their soulless eyes staring down at you from every lamppost?

If we just leave Americans to it, maybe after a while the world will achieve herd immunity?

That there is no deep push back or outrage over this just speaks to how profoundly NI is othered in GB politics. There are no votes in it. There's only forget and move on. share.google/PbXA5GOlxyQO...

On a day when all the headlines lead on British values, there's a powerful irony that there is next to no coverage on national BBC news programmes of the Springhill Inquest findings. These values are in short supply when families have to fight for decades for justice: share.google/7TAptGHwQJBV...

The only way to tackle antisemitism is for all parties to treat it as seriously as any other form of racism *Looks at current stance of parties on tackling racism Shit.

Jonathan Hall's position should be untenable after these comments. Far from being an "Independent Reviewer", he is committing every sin in the counter-terrorism playbook by capitalising on an attack to pursue an ideologically driven clamp-down on human rights and basic democratic values.

1. He's supposed to be the Independent Reviewer not "government advisor." 2. The media, Independent Reviewer, and Government are doing a great job of giving this horrific attack all the attention it was hoping to garner. Great job, everyone.

The whole idea of depriving terrorism of the oxygen of publicity really has gone out the window.

The Mandelson appointment scandal needs to be added to the long list of examples as to why the executive should not be blindly trusted or deferred to when invoking reasons of national security to interfere with human rights or depart from ordinary constitutional safeguards.

The absurdity of UK counter terrorism policy laid bare. A mess of historic groups that Govt can't decide whether to remove, strict liability offences denying police discretion and an inappropriate application of counter terrorism law to direct action protest:

The kids have been keeping Kiri and Lou from us.

Another sensationalist headline focusing on the introductory remarks to a report that contains no further detail regarding the threat landscape facing the state.
