5p off a pint or 500,000 children lifted out of poverty? Reform betting that people prefer a cheaper pint.

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman accidentally voted with Labour to abolish the two-child benefit cap tonight after entering the wrong lobby!

Board of Peace - Season 1

Tommy Robinson and his far right goons are holding a carol service to honour the birth of a displaced Middle Eastern refugee who started a religion that explicitly emphasized a belief in universal love, peace and tolerance over earthly nations and division. Dimmer than broken Christmas tree lights

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion. It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so. This is very long overdue.

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

It was wonderful that Melissa opened the convention. It was a pleasure to visit the University Settlement a few years ago whilst on our Jollies. They do so much inspirational work, and it always reminds me of an international youth exchange in Berlin (2010) as part of the #IFS100

It's great to be here at #locality25 convention, meeting new people and bumping into international friends. #PowerOfCommunity

This is a desperately sad story, one doubtless repeated across the country, but it’s also desperately stupid: “an independent report … estimated the centre is saving the council more than £500,000 a year in costs that include services in mental health, youth justice and social care”

This attempt to both-sides obvious undeniable racism is a truly grim way to report this bsky.app/profile/itvp...

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP. And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

Farage: epic grifter

Very interesting evening.

Starmer urged to do more to push back against ‘onslaught of racism’ www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #hopenothate

Farage tells Reform conference: “We refuse to have our children’s minds poisoned with a twisted interpretation of history.” What I suspect he really means is that he wants children to get taught a bunch of self-affirming lies about the past aka fake history and that's really very dangerous indeed.

The UK’s laws are failing to stop the rise in hate speech – and people are paying the price voxpoliticalonline.com/2025/08/02/t...

The UK govt is deeply complicit in the Gaza genocide. ☠️💀 Here’s a full account of the receipts...

This is the documentary the BBC would not air. Channel4 had decided to air the great documentary. It forensically examines allegations that healthcare workers including doctors have been targeted by Israeli forces. Watch this important piece of journalism - Wed at 10pm.

Dear labouruk.bsky.social @keirstarmer @rachelreevesmp, I do not stand with Israel, yours, one of many who are disgusted with your decision. #notinmyname ##freepalestine

It's definitely a recommended read....A Diary of Resilience by Plestia Alaqad ##freepalestine

Why isn’t there a “coalition of the willing” to stop the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza?

To quote the Dr. "This is the beginning of the end of everything. Fuck the world. Fuck the silence. Fuck everything". 🤬 #genocide

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating May it be a blessed occasion with your loved ones.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

The most fucking hilarious tweet of the year. Bookmark it because it may not be topped in the next 360 days.

Twitter is hilarious at the moment. I reckon Elmo is going to delete it instead of just his account.

Oops, I have a severe case of woke mind virus. All symptoms match!

How genetics works

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

It’s Friday morning and time for Barely Civil Society. This week taking a look at what next for #youthwork, with the last of the Big Society Boondoggles, NCS, coming to an end. Plus more general charity sh*tshow updates. dralexevans.substack.com/p/goodbye-na...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR Let him know he’s wrong by sharing this widely

"And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent." Location: Parliament Square, London (sound on) youtu.be/WMwqhdVV5as

I wanted to just share the video. However, it was too long to upload. Watching this viral video brings 😢 to your eyes. skwawkbox.org/2024/11/30/v...

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day. Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

Me popping back to Twitter to see if it's improved....
