FEDERAL AGENTS OPEN FIRE OUTSIDE SCHOOL: This morning at 8:52 AM federal agents shot an on-looker during kidnapping operation in Los Angeles. A US Marshal was also shot. LAPD is on scene assisting and protecting the Feds. Call to action in thread:

Earlier this year, we published an article headlined “10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement.” We failed, though, to consider that the president might simply force the US government, i.e. us taxpayers, to straight-up pay him hundreds of millions of dollars. Our bad.

Since the Gaza ceasefire, Israel has intensified its operations against Palestinians in the West Bank, conducting military raids in the north and increasing settler attacks on Palestinians harvesting olive groves. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/isra... #Palestine #Israel

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

More journalists have been killed in Gaza than in any other conflict in history. The EIC at Reuters, Alessandra Galloni, joins us to reflect on the last two years of covering the war on Gaza. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/med...

My mother-in-law came from Austria 50+ years ago and worked/raised a family in Norfolk. But she's now 83 and has been 'taking' for some years now. Should she take her Austrian passport and her cataracts and fuck off back to Vienna?

There is a key line in the Maccabi statement that’s going unreported. “We have also been working tirelessly to stamp out racism within the more extreme elements of our fan base”. Not many teams have an extreme elements and admit it. They are part of a group perhaps deserving of special attention.

Greens up to 15% in new YouGov poll. Their highest ever rating, now level with the Lib Dems and just two points short of the Conservatives

“You need to vote for us to stop Reform” is hardly going to work as a campaign slogan when you won’t even criticize a Tory MP proposing things more extreme than Reform (or Enoch Powell, or the BNP), and won’t stand up for the families such proposals threaten.

Robert Peston, "Where are you on the banning of Maccabi fans?" Zack Polanski, "I'm Jewish, I take antisemitism really seriously" "I don't think banning Maccabi fans is antisemitic at all"

Latest YouGov opinion poll: Reform + Conservatives: 43% Labour + Lib Dems + Greens: 50%

Katie Lam to CPS. "The problem with the NET number, obviously, is it contains two numbers: the number of people who came here and the number of people who've left. We should set both a gross cap and a net cap. "A gross cap of somewhere like the 'tens of thousands' so you are net nil to negative"

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

Trump nominee reportedly boasted of ‘Nazi streak’ in group chats

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

Worth saying that despite asking for more than 12 hours we’ve had nothing back from Labour on this

1/x: This is small-potatoes corruption, BUT It's worth noting that it takes a LONG time to get a building permit. You have to have full architectural plans that get approved which means you have to draw them up AND pass them to someone who looks them over. They're breaking the law here.

Students: cost of living is soaring and we can hardly afford to feed ourselves Government: I hear you - how about higher fees and more debt?

The government is gaslighting the British public over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

I don't personally have any interest in the police recording incidents that are not crimes. What is essential is that the police + the government get much better at policing actual racist hate crimes, because the culture of impunity for online racial hatred is having corrosive offline impacts too

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials

A superb post about on-street parking and the baclkash against cycle parking here, from @maxsullivan.bsky.social movepeople.substack.com/p/bread-bin-...

This is Katie Lam, Conservative leadership hopeful, just casually talking about deporting anyone who she doesn’t believe is ‘culturally coherent’ in the Times this weekend. This puts her to the right of Enoch Powell. And there’s been silence in media on these comments.

Amazon’s Ring is partnering with Flock’s network of AI-powered license plate readers, to enable police and ICE request doorbell footage for investigations. This is the first time I’ve seen cross-app integration built to serve law enforcement instead of end users.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

In 2024, the Green Party gained 5,346 members. Today alone, we have gained over 6,000. Absolutely incredible. The Green Surge is just getting started.

The Tel Aviv derby between Maccabi and Hapoel could not be played today in Tel Aviv as the Israeli fans injured rival fans and the police. The game was abandoned at half-time in January. The Israeli police & authorities have struggled to contain the conduct of fans www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Well done Starmer, you played another political blinder.

#OtD 19 Oct 1945 the UK Labour govt decided to illegally deport over 1000 Chinese seamen who lived in Liverpool. Even men married to British women were expelled, along with some of their wives who were then stripped of British citizenship stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9142...

The Bear hears it everywhere: snip-snip-snip. ✂️ Every party’s reaching for the scissors again – even though there’s nothing left to cut. A furious, funny howl at Britain’s obsession with “efficiency”. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

When Israel bombs Gaza after pledging itself to a ceasefire, we apparently need to say this is a “Test of ceasefire” to avoid saying what is blatantly obvious, that this is a violation of the ceasefire Again, I’ll keep on repeating this: Israel does not do ceasefires unless forced to.

Here is the leader of the so called Israeli left, the opposition, calling for the resumption of the war in Gaza no differently than Ben Gvir, Smotrich and the Dear Leader aka Mr Security, you know, the guy who funneled all the Qatari cash to strengthen Hamas.

BREAKING: At least 51 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire came into effect less than two weeks ago, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/z1q2d3

Close to Kruger and Jenrick. If the latter defects I suspect Orr will be involved.

Brutal settler attack in Turmus’ayya olive fields. Many injuries, including a woman knocked unconscious with a club and beaten repeatedly “The IDF lured us into an ambush, I have it all on video. Will upload as soon as I have good service.” - Jasper Nathaniel -

Israeli soldiers were filmed dragging and forcing two young Palestinian children to the ground, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

This, this, this. If journalists don’t scrutinize this and explain it properly now then they have failed on their duty and will bear a share of the blame if such policies are enacted (most of the public oppose them and don’t I think realise what is being proposed yet).

Palestinian death toll in Israeli custody since October 2023 rises to 79 - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/palestinian-death-toll-israeli-custody-october-2023-rises-79

One of the Manchester bombers, Hashem Abedi, is in the news accused of the attempted murder of three prison officers. What the media won’t be reporting is what we know of the Abedi family’s role in the UK’s 2011 war in Libya. www.declassifieduk.org/manchester-b...

At least 38 Palestinians have been killed as the Israeli army commits 47 violations of ceasefire agreement.

NEW: Britain’s top libel firm, Carter-Ruck, acted for OneCoin - a $4bn crypto-fraud. The firm threatened whistleblowers, journalists, regulators, and even the police. Carter-Ruck's work helped the fraud continue as long as it did. Was that a crime?

🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England youtu.be/7roDSM-GPBY?...

Developers encroach on 2000-year-old Devon wetland citing ‘blockages’ to Labour’s housing plans

Brendan Clarke-Smith - a former government minister and ex-Tory MP for Bassetlaw - regrets that the journalist was asked to apologise for suggesting the British-born Muslim leftwing MP be deported (along with "Zarahs" in general). Says its "faux outrage" to object to deporting minorities/opponents

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.
