This is terrifying and absolutely unacceptable - we need to keep calling out Trump’s racist policies. Diversity is our strength. https://leftfootforward.org/2025/10/starmers-upcoming-climate-plan-must-prove-that-green-policies-deliver-for-people/

Reform UK Councillor Jack McGlenn to Step Down Following Alleged Harassment

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine might lead to efforts to rekindle economic ties with Russia — including the restarting of the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

Factionalism, farce and chaos dog Reform UK in the garden of England www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is what we are emphatically against: Reform are not even TRYING to hide their racism any more. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

"Caerffili has emphasised that Cymru’s politics is now a battle between Plaid Cymru and Reform – and that in Caerffili Plaid have won the battle but still have work to do to win the war."

Two big opposing rallies in Hungary today. Orban’s pro-Russia one got fewer than 30k. His rival Peter Magyar got more than 200K.

Is it even possible to say whether or not Brexit has failed? Because I don’t know what success was supposed to look like.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child and even worse - these changes were introduced without consultation, warning and no evidence base

A reminder that this is the same Rishi Sunak who when he was Prime Minister raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years

"Let's not forget, when we remember the service and the sacrifice with this poppy, that the people who bled and died for our democracy and our freedom, weren't just my grandfather who looked like me & worshipped the same God, but people across Empire & Commonwealth, who were Muslim, Sikh & Hindu'

Nigel Farage seeks influence over Bank of England in same vein as Trump and US Federal Reserve www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners." In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures. Maybe Beth is on a diet.

Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. I’ve told the new Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people first. Join me:https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-emma-reynolds-to-base-water-policy-on-facts-not-water-industry-fake-maths?source=bluesky

Even the travel agent couldn't disagree with him on BBC Radio 4 Today today. The only good Brexit is a dead Brexit ... brexitrage.com/the-disenfra... #Brexit

This is beautiful @zackpolanski.bsky.social

An actual, real life, nuanced discussion about Brexit!!

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense". Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

@terenceknott1.bsky.social Terry. It's fair to say that a component of this ideology change is down to your advocacy in letter writing and sending books to cabinet members and others. Thank you.

This result should surprise no one, as UK polling in recent years years has repeatedly shown strong majorities in support of reciprocal UK-EU Freedom of Movement. e.g. www.politico.eu/article/poll...

Simon Calder's reporting on the travel impact of Brexit has been good, but the strangely-worded final line of this ("under the Brexit deal, Boris Johnson’s government negotiated for UK passport holders to become third-country nationals") suggests that, even now, Brexit isn't really understood.

The UK must stand up for human rights and reject calls to leave the ECHR - Sign the open letter www.europeanmovement.co.uk/keep_uk_in_e...

1 week ago Nathan Gill pled guilty to 8 charges of Russian bribery. Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Dr David Bull and Paul Nuttall, all senior Reform UK leadership, all colleagues of Gill’s through UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK. All have done what guilty people do. Silence.

Reform UK promised to slash “wasteful spending” - now they’re raising taxes. Looks like Reform UK are learning council budgets aren't as wasteful as they thought... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/reform-uk-council-tax-kent-news-rf05q0bqm

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Starmer’s government should ask for 6 month per visit access to the Schengen zone.

Dear Gods of all that is stupid... IT'S REAL.

Climate science is clear: global emissions must peak no later than 2025. Labour MPs scored better than Conservatives, but most still got the year wrong. Climate denial or ignorance has a profound effect on urgently-needed policy. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Half-baked tales of rulings turning on chicken nuggets are no basis for cutting Britain adrift. My Times piece on the Tories’ policy of leaving the ECHR based on spurious claims. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Pleasure to see ITV national news effectively trashing Mel Stride and the Tory conference economy punt. That party is dead. In Labour we trust 👍

Look at who wants us to leave the ECHR. If it’s right wing extremists you know that the majority of the people in this country won’t benefit. Wake up for Christ’s sake and stop sleepwalking towards your own demise.

1. Did you know that some third countries have special historic bilateral agreements that give their citizens additional time in the Schengen zone. op.europa.eu/en/publicati...

Incredible how all the commentators are jumping on Gary Neville, yet they had no questions about how Farage paid for his Clacton house or Gill’s links to Russia. Almost like they can only process the bits of the truth they like…

If any Government can just snatch basic human rights away from any section of society when it pleases then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

NHS could cease to function under Labour’s new visa rules, say nurses www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

An exclusive YouGov poll, commissioned by Best for Britain finds: 62% of Brits say that Brexit has been more of a failure, compared to only 11%who would say it has been more of a success. Full research here: https://bit.ly/4mv524J

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Just because I liked being part of the EU and other European countries have ID cards… …it doesn’t mean I think they are needed in the UK or even a particularly good or workable idea. I don’t see how it will reduce numbers of people crossing the channel either.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

Fun fact: Reform UK has lost at least 22 Councillors and 2 MPs in 6 months.

For those of you who are passionate about freedom of movement, like me, you might be interested in this live stream that starts at 8 am UK time tomorrow. It’s a live presentation of results of the @fomatplay.bsky.social project to the European Parliament @europarl.europa.eu Link below.

Millions of us are still struggling to access affordable NHS dental care. I’ve signed 38 Degrees’ petition demanding Keir Starmer properly funds NHS dentistry now, will you join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

THe VIP lane was bad enough but NOBODY seems to talk about the Furlough Fraud. Sunak, the financial genisu created a scheme defrauded by £9000 000 000 He and his co-profiteers should be prosecuted,
