There’s a complete lack of loyalty. I think Keir Starmer should stay. I think there shouldn't be a leadership contest. And I back Keir Starmer to finish the job that he started, deliver the manifesto that he got elected on. Yes, things have been tough. Yes, he's made mistakes. buff.ly/blYVhcX

"No country on earth, probably, has been more harmed by Donald Trump personally than the United Kingdom." The Atlantic's David Frum on whether the King's state visit can "smooth things over permanently" between the UK and USA. #Newsnight

How do people feel about this?

This guy is basically inviting China to take Taiwan.

When the interior ministry declares its militia to be above the law in terms that equate dissent with treason there really isn’t any question of whether or not we are looking at an authoritarian regime.

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/cc-df

"London had around 104 homicides last year. Let’s put that number into context – New Orleans had 124 homicides last year. That might make London look just a little bit safer than New Orleans, but here’s the thing – more than nine million people live in London, but only 360,000 live in New Orleans."

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

"MAGA is looking for imperial expansion into Europe, promoting 'patriotic parties' on the far-right of our politics," says Jon Sopel. "This needs serious attention." Trump is making a move on Europe – and the UK is looking the other way www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/trum...

How can you possibly run a country when newspapers make up stuff and put it on front pages as if they didn't invent it in the first place, and people believe it. And then we'll get Farage whose every fuck ups will be painted as triumphs. youtube.com/shorts/AiRo3...

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.

Amal Ismail, 28, a Palestinian journalist, was injured in shelling, leaving her blind in one eye and with serious damage to the other. Doctors say she needs treatment outside Gaza, but closed borders are preventing her travel and her condition is worsening.

Lovely weekend at #mathsJam . Thanks to all those who organised and those who gave talks. Hope to see you all next year! Safe journey home everyone.

Kemi Badenoch says her decision to ditch her climate commitments is due to her having "listened to the industry". No mention of the millions of pounds her party has received from the funders of fossil-fuel linked lobby groups bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

This is brilliant !!! #NoKings

In #MathsToday, Year 12 tackled some Underground Maths tasks on inequalities. Inequality sets: undergroundmathematics.org/polynomials/... Inequalities for some occasions: undergroundmathematics.org/quadratics/i... I always find with their tasks there's more to them than initially meets the eye.

A new report from University of Oxford researchers shows just how bad the UK media has become at challenging false and misleading claims made about immigration. We expect to see populist politicians making false claims, and weak governments fail to counter them, but journalists can do better.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

@pimlicat.bsky.social - CEO of Best for Britain: ⚠️“Stoking fears over immigration as a way to remove our basic rights is right out of the authoritarian playbook We cannot allow the same to happen here. Rights are not something we can trust Farage to rewrite." www.bestforbritain.org/farage_can_t...

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers
