The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

When it comes to today's campaigning groups, there seems to be a complete lack of interest in the #spycops inquiry Things haven't got better - they've got a hell of a lot worse Why the silence? (@_i0n)

"I am convinced Starmer has a Room 101 where female MPs have any principles they once held brainwashed away, to emerge with their regulation hair bob, smart suit and uttering phrases like ‘laser focused.’" – Roy Hayes

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope. In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000. Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

The RSF is not acting alone. They're being armed and supplied by foreign powers. The UAE is funding the worst humanitarian crisis in the world in order to steal Sudanese resources and gold. There's a rising cholera crisis, 100s of thousands have been killed, millions are starving & displaced.

Habit.

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Never let up 🤷🏿‍♀️

'The Fraud has already been a deeply impactful book which has claimed the scalp of Downing Street’s director of strategy. [...] Further resignations of Downing Street staffers, MPs, councillors and now senior government officials may be warranted, too, as the book is finally published.'

"If a ceasefire holds, you boycott Israel HARDER, you divest, you push for sanctions. You don't perform for apartheid. You don't whitewash genocide. You don't pretend like Israel isn't still a violent occupier stealing land and collectively punishing Palestinians daily. " — @Remi Kanazi

"In El Fasher, death has become a daily headline, and the survivors continue to live without water, food, or safety. What is happening is not just a war, but a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe, a looming social genocide where civilians are targeted simply for being alive." — Mohamed Zakaria

Informers often start their careers as rats this way. Police like the leverage they have on the asset as it's the a way they can trust the informant and information provided. The fact that the asset's crimes are worse than the group they're infiltrating makes no never mind because ACAB.

'He masqueraded as an activist keen to protect the environment and to prevent the exploitation of animals, but, unknown to campaigners, he was at the same time secretly passing information to the police.'

I wanted to share this in the daytime and say to the informers and #spycops currently deployed in activist groups: this is your colleague. 👇🏿 This is the calibre of people that your bosses employ. Happy about your choices? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Welsh UKIP leader while Farage was national leader - but NF claims he never knew him? Just not credible. #FarageLies.

Nathan Gill was a UKIP & later Brexit Party, MEP 2014 - 2020. He was leader of UKIP Wales 2014 - 2016 while Mr Farage was the national leader. Gill waa leader of Reform UK Wales between March and May 2021. Last week he pleaded guilty to 8 counts of bribery between 6 Dec 2018 and July 2019.

"Zia, do you ever think it's the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" — Zack Polanski

Last night, Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf were called fascists on prime-time BBC. Call me sentimental, but I think the UK is a slightly better place today. The Overton window shifted in our favour for once.

Hate crimes are up for the first time in three years? Complete mystery about how we got here.

I find this very interesting, especially after interviewing an Irish MP last year who was unaware that PSNI had been sharing sensitive information with paramilitary groups.

I love being right

'Owen Jones, (not that one) posed an intriguing question recently. He said, “Wonder if the UK media will give Zack Polanski as much airtime as Nigel Farage, (Farage has been on BBC Question Time, 39 times) 1/5

Even my regular go-to law whisperer @joshuarozenberg.bsky.social hasn't managed to explain or demystify the Chinese spy thing for me. He's written about it 2 days in a row, and it's no more clearer why they were charged last year or why the charges were dropped open.substack.com/pub/rozenber...

I felt like this was quite big news, but have not seen anyone talking about it. Or actually even any articles being shared about it. Weird. Has the Me too movement totally moved on? Aren't their funded organisations who work on this area of law and women's rights?

Officers in the PSNI’s (Police Service of Northern Ireland) most sensitive department have described their senior management as more dangerous than those trying to kill them. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politic...

Everything has already been said. Sometimes you don't have to repeat it.

No one was harmed during the incident, which is being treated as a hate crime. Sussex Police Detective Superintendent Karrie Bohanna said: "We understand the concerns this has caused within the community, and the impact that will be felt by the Muslim community as a result."

This 👇🏿 is VERY important. Religious and other marginalised communities are being terrorised EVERY DAY. Where is the care or protection?

Footage from overnight shows an arsonist setting fire to the community mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex. A person inside managed to escape safely. Firefighters have now stood down. Sussex Police are investigating. sussex.news/east-sussex/...

And Shabana Mahmood is talking about giving the police powers to ‘crack down’ on these repeated protests…so much for the support of the Palestinian people that she has vocalised in the past. We are getting frighteningly authoritarian 💔

I feel like everything I wrote last year about the Public Order Act and the far right riots was quite prescient. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...
