This Reform mayoral candidate just can’t stop questioning minority ethnic politicians’ loyalty to the UK. He’s done it over and over again. Nigel Farage should have sacked him two weeks ago. He must sack him now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead. Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too. “The trouble with power is that it’s exposing, both politically and personally” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We think the world is getting more dangerous. But what if it’s the news – not reality – driving that fear? TV news doesn’t just report danger; it curates it. Peter Thurlow explains 👇

German prosecutors bring criminal charges against three Greensill Bank officials for role in the 2021 collapse of the lender. UK would have given them public honours, crony contracts, buried prosecutions; just like the Post Office and Grenfell scandals.

The explosion of extreme and dangerous misogyny in our schools is down to influencers like Andrew Tate. Reminder: Nigel Farage once described Andrew Tate as “an important voice for men”.

Farage's failed Brexit promised the world and has delivered nothing but misery. So why trust Farage's Reform with the UK economy? They can't even run councils they've won. #SpottedNews

We talking about misogyny? Let's start here.

A new systematic review & meta-analysis of 2M+ people estimates a ~36% pooled prevalence of reported long COVID after infection. claiming you "don't know anyone" who's had long COVID is statistically implausible - unless you only know like <3-4 people www.thecardiologyadvisor.com/news/more-th...

As Rupert Lowe spewed racist, anti migrant hate, Samir Zitouni blocked a British Knifeman from stabbing a girl & was seriously injured A migrant from “third world cultures that” (Lowe claims) “treat women like dirt” & a threat to UK women, saved a girl Lowe breaches MPs standards with impunity❗️😡

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

A great piece by Green Party Deputy Leader @rachelmillward.bsky.social Migration and asylum are not modern anomalies. They are as old as humanity itself. Yet we have allowed our politics to strip them of their humanity, turning people into numbers, threats, slogans. @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Newsom's Observation of Chump's Lies Last Night.......

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism in the UK over the past year. How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard? news.sky.com/story/terror...

Nigel Farage told to apologise by 26 of his school contemporaries - The Guardian

Exclusive: Voters should be “worried” about the prospect of Nigel Farage becoming PM after a senior Reform UK politician was jailed for taking bribes from Russia, a cabinet minister has told HuffPost UK. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclus...

Why can't immigrants who come to the UK integrate as well as this?

It is unfathomable why unions continue to fail workers in an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus, when it's known "that a substantial share of #LongCOVID could be prevented through targeted workplace measures & policies": Via @tomkindlon.bsky.social www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

"A little festive advice to those in Reform" Keir Starmer tells Nigel Farage's MPs. "If mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts, this time report it to the police"

You do not need to work to have value. You do not need to produce for capitalism to have value. We should not make ourselves the arbiters of another person’s worth, and we certainly shouldn’t base their worth on their job, bank balance or health status. Everyone has value.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc. Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

Whilst Labour is advising no masking required the state of California is now advising N95 (ffp2 respirators in the UK) for travel on planes. This is good advice and would be good to see them extend this. They also advise on vaccines. Covid is airborne

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

What I want for Christmas is some transparency on COVID.

🚨David McLennan is Reform UK's first elected councillor in Scotland. He won a by-election in Whitburn last week. He claims to be a retired police officer, but David actually left the force after being charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, we reveal tonight.

I said “let’s clean the air, wear masks and other prevention stuff to protect people from bugs”… Society said. “We prefer dead kids.” Mainly because dark money convinced people that going back to “normal” was important, no matter how bad it was.

US puts £31bn tech ‘prosperity deal’ with Britain on ice. Trump doesn't honour agreements. It's about dominance. Demands that UK ends digital services tax on US tech companies and it's food safety rules which bar certain US agricultural products. Say NO to Trump slavery. Better off joining the EU

When we had society wide covid mitigations, we eliminated an entire strain of flu. Now we’re in the “you do you” era and seeing an aggressive and early start to flu season. Three children in Ottawa have died. Wear a mask, ideally an N95. Get your vaccines. Clean the air. Stay home when sick:

This is what Presidential Leadership looks like at the time of an unfathomable American tragedy. #BarackObama

Why do I wear an N95 mask? Bc Covid will happily destroy your immune system, more each time you get it. It can give you a whole new syndrome and/or awaken & worsen dormant viruses+syndromes. You do not want a mystery disease like my loved one has now. Our system does not know what to do with you.

The Starbucks CEO made $96 million for 4 months of work. Employees can’t get a living wage. The longest strike in Starbucks history began on Red Cup day. police just arrested a dozen striking employees for protesting outside a distribution centre. Boycott Starbucks. Don’t cross the picket line.

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can become chronically ill. It’s not a choice. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. You can be the healthiest person in the world & completely disabled in an instant. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

BREAKING: British MPs warned ministers: The US is engaging in “extreme rightwing tropes” with echoes of the 1930s and threatening “chilling” interference in European democracies,

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

People have had enough of Labour. They can change leader but the problem is the hundreds of corporate lobbyists who are Labour MPs. More and more people joining the Green Party every day! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Sounds about right.

Crucial thread on the latest blatant falsehoods in the Telegraph, and how they reflect a much wider false narrative.

Look at this! One of my daughters sent this about her town. Well done Chelmsford 👏👏 I know they have a great new LD MP @mariecgoldman.bsky.social 👏👏 ( who my daughter campaigned for) We need this in every town. There are great things going on in my town too ❤️

Besides communicating the importance of vaccination, where available, the government should be explicit about not mixing with others when ill, using effective face-coverings in an appropriate manner, and making use of ventilation, to avoid spreading airborne viruses.

The US and multiple countries have what’s called A DEMOCRACY. America came into existence to escape a king. Why would we want another and one as completely ignorant to the people’s needs as this incompetent idiot? He’s in it for the grift and destruction. To hand us over to his rich oligarchs.
