This is grotesque on multiple levels.

It's not a political party. It's an engine of enrichment for greedy millionaire white men. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Left: Conservative Victoria Atkins says Jewish people are afraid to walk the streets of our capital city on these marches #BBCQT Right: Except of course the Jewish people walking the streets of our capital city on these marches

"Hands up if you took £5 million from a billionaire and didn't declare it because you think the rules don't apply to you"

🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄🇬🇧🙄 We now have an entire media who would rather see a Farage govt, leading to the demise of the NHS and an alliance with the far right US Christian Nationalist fuckers than support the govt we elected And its drift towards EU alignment Putin must be laughing his head off.

Reform are announcing today that they would review and retrospectively strip asylum status from hundreds of thousands of people who are making their lives in the UK. Notable that the Conservative response to the plan seem to effectively endorse it.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

This is appalling. How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead after this?

My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. #PalantirOUT

Cops have twice raided Quaker meeting houses to arrest people- and seize their phones/laptops - without so far charging anyone. Are we seeing pre-emptive policing to make the very idea of protest impossible? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/identi...

A sitting Member of Parliament claiming Muslims practicing their faith in public amounts to domination & division is racist & brings the House of Commons into disrepute. I’ve reported Nick Timothy MP to the Parliamentary Commissioner on Standards. We all deserve better from our elected officials.

So, education is in a spiral of worse inputs (AI doing the work instead of students learning,) and worse outputs (medium and long-term skill loss.) When a society loses the ability to educate its citizens effectively, that's a death spiral, not an achievement.

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US style insurance. Can you afford $50,000 for a broken leg, $500,000 for a new heart, or $2,000,000 for cancer. Or are you dying?

No Palantir anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?

Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This 'correction' from @lewisgoodall.com regarding accusations from Reform and the Conservatives that the Greens engaged in sectarianism, deserves to be widely read. #c4news

There's a whole thing going down on the right wing X-sphere where vloggers go and stand outside mosques... try to provoke worshippers... and then claim they have been "assaulted" - despite the people on the footage appearing to be entirely reasonable and just asking them to go home.

Fixed that headline for you: ‘One (1) farmer who farms 1,000 acres doesn’t like rewilding, we’ve made that the basis of our headline in a classic example of false balance. PS everyone else in the story loves the idea of the Wildlife Trusts buying the Rothbury Estate’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway…. 📍 Old Trafford, Matt Busby Way

Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

This woman in Crowborough who took down flags is a hero and I hope she's ok.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Whatever Farage says, remember this tweet

The bill would prevent the American military from using congressional funds to occupy or annex Nato territories, including Greenland. ft.trib.al/UHn8OkD

To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Absolutely appalling stuff, and remember that every politician bellowing about crackdowns on migrants is helping to create a permissive environment for this violence and intimidation

This is the same group that seems to have an open invitation to appear on every single BBC political programme going, without ever declaring their funding

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness. “Never used to be like this,” he insists.

Many newspapers and politicians have been calling yesterday's fiscal statement a 'Budget for Benefits Street'. Here's three reasons why that is not accurate 🧵

Left: Luke Johnson, Chairman of Gail's Bakery, who was pro-Brexit, criticises Labour for not understanding the private sector and how wealth is created Right: The thing he voted for, Brexit, costs the UK £90 billion in lost tax revenue every year #BBCQT

Good morning, while everyone is waiting for the budget to be announced it’s a good time to say that immigration is a source of prosperity for the UK and painting Britain as a hostile state is sabotaging the country. Thanks!

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight www.cityam.com/the-british-...

Finally!! A bathroom for people who want to take their bollard with them. What a relief. #WorldBollardAssociation

Me too.

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments
