Having hope is the new punk ✊🏻

Trump's numbers are tanking and he knows Mamdani's a winner and inviting him to the White House creates a positive association. Mamdani needs to make sure Trump won't send federal troops into NYC. As the Chinese would say, this meeting is a win-win.

President Snow says “the only thing stronger than fear is hope”.

No Reform MPs attended Parliament today for the urgent question on Russia, because the Kremlin didn't think it was a good use of our time.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

The trap was baited, the foe was caught 🤡

X is in clear + systemic breach of its legal duties in the UK to remove unlawful content from its platform. Proof: when X users abuse + harass others with the racial slur "paki", X reporting system defends the racist abuse in more than 90% of cases reported. A new thread documenting this.

This is every fucking bit as bad as it sounds. Also, even the AI fuckers themselves are starting to dump their shares in their own shit but Labour are somehow still shackled to the fucking mast of the skynet titanic.

Just rewatched ‘A Single Man’. What a perfect film that is. Tom Ford created a thing of beauty and meaning. #ASingleMan

Six pro-Palestine prisoners are on hunger strike across UK prisons. Their demands: the right to a fair trial, freedom from censorship, and the deproscription of Palestine Action. They’re being punished for standing against genocide. Their struggle is one of conscience — and solidarity. 🇵🇸

Two more former Dulwich College pupils have come forward, on the record, to say they heard Farage racially abusing Peter Ettedgui, Latest story with Dan Boffey and @drblacklock.bsky.social

The second person in just a few days has said to me they think “Starmer is a decent person”. We must realise that many people think the Labour Party are on the wrong track but they are still sympathetic toward Starmer.

WH Smith CEO quits after accounting error wiped £600m off value. What golden goodbye has he got? £30m supplier discounts prematurely booked. Why did the board, audit committee, non-exec directors, internal auditors, external auditor PwC not know?

Birds living 'a life of intense misery': Campaigners slam KFC's animal welfare record

It is a political choice to keep children in poverty whilst billionaire and multimillionaire wealth grows larger. @greenparty.org.uk has today written to the Chancellor urging her to use the next week's Budget to tax wealth fairly, cut bills and deliver real change.

Our country is in crisis. Bills are too high. People are being forced to live in mouldy, unaffordable homes. One in three kids is living in poverty. The budget is this government's chance to turn things around: it's time to cut bills and tax billionaires.

“Soldiers testify that they have been told to burn down houses they have stayed in by pouring oil on curtains, books and mattresses.” Read @aloner.bsky.social’s report on the destruction of Gaza’s cities.

At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

The fact that it would never have had any impact on illegal immigration might have had something to do with this…

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

What the Labour Party used to understand was that it wasn’t that immigration was tearing the country apart, but that immigration was what was holding the country together. Immigration kept our NHS going, our transport system going, our education and much more. It’s still true. They must know it.

Most asylum seekers arrive with their valuables long lost in bombed or abandoned homes, stolen, or sold to afford the dangerous clandestine passage to safety The real thing of value to be snatched from refugees under these proposals is far more painful: their families & futures Me, for @zeteo.com

Actually hilarious.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children. Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power. This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

Spent the weekend with a childhood friend I see rarely. Am pretty confident the people who will still vote for Labour are the people who don't actively engage in politics and still think Starmer is basically a decent man. Yes amazingly enough there are some.

For the press/Govt to be even discussing this as a possibility seems sick in the head.

If we are going to be forced to obsess about asylum seekers like this on a daily basis I might have to become one.
