BBC editorial staff should re-read their immigration review The corporation struggles to cover well stuff that is not politically contested or controversial It should cover controversial issues but it risks reinforcing major public misperceptions on key issues www.bbc.co.uk/news/enterta...

The significant year on year fall on boat arrivals is broadly unreported by BBC or other media. It has less to do with imminent government changes currently going through than a fall in "push factors" that is Europe-wide

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint! www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedb...

Re PM. It’s not a good look. Either he lied to HoC about the vetting or he simply wasn’t told, making him look ineffectual. But, he has been effective internationally as PM & we need a steady hand on the tiller now in a dangerous world. I’m aware I may be swimming against the tide. Just my view.

For the second day, the BBC are running a story that presents itself as providing evidence of endemic abuse of the asylum system based on seemingly a single encounter with someone who is neither a lawyer nor a registered immigration adviser. Words fail. This is reprehensibly irresponsible.

You can’t tell me Starmer’s popularity hasn’t shot up since the Iran invasion he refused to join?

@bsky.app Major issues with the site today. Can you provide an update please?

Reform Essex activist who hosted Nigel Farage at his tanning salon is also a Nazi superfan who believes that "Hitler was right." Excellent work from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/n...

We are liking the new Hungarian Prime Minister more and more. A few days ago Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the UK should rejoin the EU if the US abandons NATO. Now #PéterMagyar is going further... Let us get on with it #RejoinEU

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Hard to see an endorsement by Trump as electorally beneficial at the moment.

Ditto! Let’s block en masse. This isn’t X. No hatred or ranting of the Orange Lunatic on BlueSky!

BlueSky just verified the White House account. I responded by doing the only appropriate thing:

If Orbán loses on Sunday, what price he claims the election was stolen from him! Sorry all bets are off ! 🙄

He genuinely cannot see the problem with this statement! Republicans get your fingers out of your collective backsides and act now! He isn’t fit for high office. Remove him now!

The rot inside Reform

🔴 MAPPED: The Reform-Orbán Network Ahead of elections in both countries, DeSmog has catalogued the connections between Hungary’s autocratic government and Farage’s operation. 📝 @adambarnett.bsky.social

Essential piece by my colleague @rtakver.bsky.social for @thenerve.news about Reform’s plan to harness vast amounts of personal data to create an ICE-style deportation-surveillance agency 👇🏻👇🏻

This seems like a sober summary of the situation one day into the 2 week ceasefire! A strategic defeat for the US and Israel. An Iranian regime damaged but emboldened. open.substack.com/pub/thenewwo...

Own it, Nigel.

“We should do all we can to support the operation ... gloves need to come off, we need to accept that we are part of this with the Americans and Israelis.” Nigel Farage

Donald Trump repeatedly made a promise to the American people: no new wars. Now, he's threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

This man is threatening mass killings & war crimes on social media. When will enough be enough? These aren’t policy differences. He’s threatening crimes. It’s time to invoke the 25th. But we can’t do it alone—we need our Republican colleagues to do the right thing for this country & for the world.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

In the UK, that’ll be Farage and all his Reform dipshits, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Patel, GB news, the rightwing press and commentators with Daily Mail centre stage… All of them, unforgivably irresponsible, stupid, malignant and disloyal.

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

Donald Trump: “A whole civilisation will die tonight” Nigel Farage: “I’m the only figure from the other side of the Parliament that has consistently stood behind Trump, and stood behind the MAGA movement” Politically, this should be the end of days for them all.

Trump has really, seriously, frighteningly lost his mind. It won’t happen soon, but if Trump continues to deteriorate, Republicans won’t have any alternative but to remove him from office. Neither will America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-has-really-seriously-frighteningly

A US President threatenung to annihilate an entire civilization is not normal behavior and should not be dismissed as such. I'm talking to you, elected Republicans.

"The Peace President." This madman must be removed from office. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-threat-whole-civilization-will-die-iran-war-deadline-hormuz-rcna267059

This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order. Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not. For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

The World need the US Constitution to function effectively like never before!

I want to thank @lbc.co.uk and @mrjamesob.bsky.social for taking my call today on Hormuz and Kier Starmer's speech. It is important to separate the political from the practical and figure out exactly how we open Hormuz safely to safeguard the lives of seafarers not just consider the economics. #LBC

The bravest man Nigel Farage has ever met…

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

The UK will refuse US requests to use British bases for strikes on Iranian bridges or power plants, The i Paper reports. UK officials argue targeting civilian infrastructure would be a war crime.

Reform disintegrating at the local council level. Just look at the long list of councillors who have gone. Why would anyone vote for them in May?

I think humour & more precisely ridicule is a hugely underestimated weapon against the far right. We mustn’t lose this ability as it’s also part of our humanity! It is who we are as progressives who believe in liberal democracy. The far right are ridiculous. We should mock them at every turn.

The irony of MAGA is that the US/West’s enemies e.g. China, Russia are emboldened! This hasn’t happened by chance. Instead it is a direct result of Trump policy. Deluded, petulant nonsense trashing allies & encouraging the enemies of freedom & democracy. The mid terms can’t come soon enough! 🙏

This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.
