Labour's anti-asylum measures are the most hostile for a generation and some of the most inhumane across Europe. Not only are they barbarically cruel, they're also unworkable and pointless. These are measures designed to cause harm and grab headlines, nothing else www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Three days in Aberfoyle when you hit the weather jackpot is 😎👌🏼 #aberfoyle #scotland #gravel #cycling #bikesky

Absolutely this 👇🏻 There needs to be urgent regulation of how vapes are packaged like sweets, and shops that sell nothing but sweets and vapes (there’s one along the road from me) should be sent into orbit

10 years ago, days before the Brexit referendum. There was a deadly terrorist attack in Britain. Afterwards, nothing happened and very few people today will refer to what happened by its name. 1/

Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Glasgow turns out to say no to facism #glasgow #scotland #antiracism

I'm going to travel back in time and tell myself how in 2026 there's a website run by a white nationalist supervillain, a website he uses to meddle in domestic affairs and foment racial violence, but all the governments of the world still use it for official posts like it's no big deal.

We utterly condemn the violence being seen in Belfast and Glasgow. These are not "protests" they are race riots. They are far right fuelled attacks against communities, leaving people in fear. Women and children trapped in their homes by hostile mobs who threaten violence against them.

Expert on extremism here: In 2025, there were 1798 right-wing extremism referrals to Prevent, the UK counter-extremism programme. This is *double* the amount of Islamic extremism referrals (870). And yet, the government is incapable of seeing far-right extremism as a threat. Why? 1/

NEW: We’re launching the Trump World Cup Chaos Tracker to compile a record of how Trump’s racist, violent policies - coupled with FIFA’s corruption - are impacting this tournament. 1/3

Nobody should be on twitter/x. Those who still are need to accept what it is they're a part of and stop asking to be absolved and made to feel better about propping up a fascist, violence-inciting cesspit under the guise of being a voice of opposition. You're a collaborator. For what, footy bants?

Glasgow has long had its own distinct "far right" anti-immigrant base that cannot be understood without understanding unionist loyalism. This truth is often dismissed - that's different, it's just about football here etc - but I reckon it's going to become increasingly impossible to deny.

As oil and gas companies see rocketing revenues, and more people face job insecurity, now is the time for the government to end tax breaks for fossil fuel companies, and support oil and gas workers into green jobs instead. Sign my petition here👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

We really should be asking ourselves why one rich twat’s racist opinion can become headline news in this country While the perspectives of thousands of volunteers welcoming migrants in their communities & mixed migrant/British families are never heard?

"If Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies him from holding power, why does the company controlled by Epstein's business partner and co-owner retain access to the UK's most sensitive national security infrastructure?" Peter Thiel. Jeffrey Epstein. Palantir. The UK Government.

Legally, it is not a strike because it isn’t from the strike region of France. It’s sparkling resistance

Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share: “Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.” (link below)

Who is paying Nigel Farage while he’s meant to represent Clacton?

Where are the trees? We have A LOT of this landscape and less than 4% native woodland. This should be a rich mosaic of habitats, moor, bog, woodland, montane scrub…We force it to remain in this artificial state. We don’t need to give every inch of our uplands over to sheep, grouse and deer stalking.
