Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

"I can't be bought" Says man who sells video birthday greetings for £70 a time.

Headline on the online DM (which I've just checked to make sure they didn't edit it out) says "fully transition." Quite the ragebait.😡

Labour did a Section 28 and who the hell was it for? If it was to appease bigots, guess what? They failed.

Be interesting to see the Right's reaction to the Palestine Action judgment, which protects freedom of expression/free speech ['hurrah!], to criticise Israel's actions in Gaza ['boo!'] and, in part, because of the Human Rights Act and ECHR ['BOO! BOO!']

We welcome the court’s finding that the proscription of Palestine Action was UNLAWFUL. This case has exposed a deeper problem where the line between direct action and terrorism has become dangerously blurred. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

Significant that the High Court ruling is still, in places, quite damning of Palestine Action. It emphatically rejects that the group is engaged in "civil disobediance", for example. It just finds (compellingly) that proscription was still wrong, despite that.

Jim Ratcliffe, like many British billionaires, is so patriotic he helped fund Brexit blamed migration for the UK's woes then migrated to avoid paying British taxes and is now looking to fund Reform Ltd to make sure it will never #TaxTheRich

BREAKING - WE HAVE WON! Following a successful Judicial Review brought by Huda Ammori, and a sustained campaign of defiance by defend our juries leading to almost 3,000 ‘terror’ arrests, the ban on Palestine Action has been ruled unlawful in the courts.

2/ If Starmer wants to protect the vibrant multi cultural fabric of the UK, he must scrap his divisive "earned settlement model". These plans will mean some people will have second class rights throughout their adulthood, preventing many from flourishing & reaching their potential.

1/ We're pleased the Prime Minister has called out Jim Ratcliffe's disgusting, racist & dehumanising language. However, these words ring somewhat hollow when his government is imposing cruel, self-defeating immigration rules that damage social cohesion. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

3/ Division tears us apart, so c'mon Keir give us a positive vision for our shared future. Recognise how vital immigration has been and is to the UK's shared story and ensure that people who make the UK their home feel part of our society.

The whole world is dancing to the tune of pedophiles who say trans people are bad and anti-God and all that bullshit.

Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is stepping down after new documents in the Jeffrey Epstein files showed she had remained a close ally of the convicted sex offender through his 2019 arrest.

hold on i gotta take this

Good morning! It’s Friday February 13th 2026! Another day already? Crikey! (Dated this very day in 1965, Eagle & Boys’ World #16:7, with its cover-strip featuring Dan Dare & gorgeous art by Keith Watson.) You be careful out there among them English, John Book.

FT: "Sir Tony Blair’s think-tank has called on the UK government to reverse its ban on new North Sea exploration licences and scrap the windfall tax on the oil and gas sector". Since his institute is now effectively owned by Trump cheerleader and donor Larry Ellison, this is unsurprising.

This brave woman speaks for millions of British people. Meanwhile these thugs behave in an entirely menacing manner and nothing is done.

An important takeaway – the High Court has made clear that the Code of Practice has gotten the law wrong. It will need to be rejected by the Minister.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social yesterday asked how long before apologists started to ask "has Ratty got a point?". Early the following morn, BBC Radio Four, Today news magazine programme asked if Ratty has a point and they broadcast Nigel Farage to support the view. Farage blamed potholes on immigrants.

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

It is very difficult to defeat the government on any terrorism judicial review It is also very difficult to defeat the government when challenging a statutory instrument, terrorism or otherwise. Legally this is a *huge* achievement for the applicants.

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I’ve managed to sort out The Times Magazine for this weekend:

Good to see Nigel Farage has moved - after being challenged - from multiplying the numbers by five to using the correct numbers.

In advance of the 10am handing down of the judgment in the Palestine Action proscription case, here are my two posts on what is at stake. At @prospectmagazine.co.uk: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th... Follow-on post at Substack: emptycity.substack.com/p/the-proscr...

“So your belief is white Americans face more discrimination than Black Americans - prior to the Trump administration fixing this?” Jeremy Carl, Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state Department spot, is “likely to sink” after today’s performance, per CNN.

If I want my garden waste collected I now have to pay £75 a year. Started out at £40 in the first year, £50 last year and now it's gone to £75. People can't afford it and they are just dumping their garden waste in laybys late at night. Most of the country lanes are turning into tips.

Just read my council tax is going up by 8% that’s more than twice my pension increase. Services are being removed. This isn’t ok.

This is shocking. Cost of living crisis laid bare as almost half of Britons ‘have under £25 left at end of week’ Majority of UK adults forced to make difficult choices, with almost two-thirds found to be cutting back on essentials like food and heating www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

'Mr Goodwin also appeared to agree with the host’s claim that universities have become hotbeds of “politically correct authoritarianism” because they are full of “childless women” . Oh yeah, sure. 🙄

Reform candidate calls for young girls to be given "biological reality check" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

We have spoken to people working in Government in 2009 and 2010 who describe Mr Mandelson's actions as "treachery" or even "treason". But unless he seduced the King's daughter, slew the Lord Chamberlain etc, the various Treason Acts won't apply. (yes, amazingly this is still the law)

What if you already are the change you want to see in the world, and it doesn’t seem to be helping?

“It’s time to get aggressive and get the fuck out because they’re trying to box us in.” DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.

Saw this on LinkedIn. Our immigration system is morally bankrupt and economically ridiculous. Shameful.

for additional fun, my husband works near the Moderna HQ -- not even IN, just NEAR -- and they now have paranoid entry controls with armed goddamn guards because they figure (rightly) that the maniacs threatening Moderna are not smart enough to pick the right building

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.
