A: Who gives a fuck apart from racists? B: His figure is wrong. 71.2% of Glaswegian children speak English as their first language. C: So that's 28.8% who speak it as a second and I'll bet you they speak brilliant English and that it's much better than most Reform voters I've met online.

The constitution says only Congress can declare war.

For anyone who knows anything about genocides and the incitement of genocidal violence, this is the kind of hair-raising stuff you find in transcripts of testimony before special tribunals.

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts! democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-o...

Anyone who cares about Europe's future and loathes Putin should want this plan to succeed. It's the single most important decision Europe can take for its own defence and Ukraine's survival. America is lost. www.ft.com/content/3c23...

Fifty Shades of Farage?! C’mon @mrjamesob.bsky.social, some of us are trying to quietly edit their pieces about Roman military strategy when all of a sudden I am doubled back crying with laughter. I also blame Keith for his liberal use of ‘Je t’aime…’ youtu.be/Z-Lf-y2gDl8?...

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says: "The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order." That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories. How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

No doubt the the ten foot blue aliens are ridiculous and all, but I think the political message it’s sending to the public should be pretty damn clear, and it’s the type of thing that would get you referred to Prevent if you articulated it in our present context. Top grossing movie of all time.

“Skydio has extensive links with Israel…Skydio drones were recently used by city police departments to gather information at the ‘No Kings’ protests and were also used by Yale to spy on the anti-genocide protest camp set up by students at the university last year.”

A new campaign against the far right - to bring us TOGETHER against division and racism. Could not be more urgently needed 🙏❤️

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve". He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Somebody is making big money out of higher education and it is certainly not the staff or the students.

She seems nice

“A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.” — Bertrand Russell

Each time I come to this site I see another example of how predictable and avoidable all this was, for years in advance.

Farage, Musk, and many Tories promote the antisemitic Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory. They're not mainstream figures—they're extremists. Treating them like ordinary politicians only normalises their extremism. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

This is, unfortunately, not new @mrjamesob.bsky.social Suella Braverman, Miriam Cates and the Tory Common Sense Group all pushed the “cultural Marxism” conspiracy theory - far-right propaganda framing Jewish intellectuals as the enemy within. And Boris Johnson? 1/ @lbc.co.uk #lbc

I think that advocates of judge-only trials are basically legal Karens. They're convinced that if we just “speak to the manager” of the justice system, everything will be fair and calm and definitely not rigged in favour of authority. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc

Read this sentence from a Judge-only trial in Northern Ireland. The guilty men were police officers who, amongst other offenses, set a bomb outside a Catholic pub and shot a man. Then returned to investigate their own terrorism. Then be afraid. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc Judges should be wary of an ‘unconscious bias’ against those from different backgrounds who are poor, foreign and uneducated, the president of the Supreme Court has said. (From 2015)

Here's research showing that there is no evidence to support the hypothesis that judges are less likely to be biased than jurors. Remember, they read the Telegraph too. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Here's another story that will make you think twice about judge-only trials @mrjamesob.bsky.social During the Troubles, three serving RUC officers carried out a sectarian gun-and-bomb attack on a pub near Keady. They shot a Catholic man in the stomach and planted a nail bomb . 1/ @lbc.co.uk #lbc

In fiction, you need silly characters. Writers often protect women & marginalised groups from old stereotype but end up reserving all the silly, flawed, human roles for white men @mrjamesob.bsky.social It’s progress of a sort but also a quiet limit on who’s allowed to be flawed. @lbc.co.uk #lbc

They’re rewriting Labour’s identity by stripping away its own story & replacing it with a caricature of incompetence, punishing ambition, union placation, softness on crime, & scrounger indulgence It's all about vibes & branding. The substance doesn't matter. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc
