Watching the news would be a lot more fun if liars' pants really did catch on fire.

In the global race for talent and workforce participants, UK govt seems to be copying trump's america in hostility towards migrants The damage we are doing to our future with this unhelpful rhetoric is real. People already here are feeling unwanted and aggrieved. Like brexit, it's another own goal.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

💔💔In Kyiv, a woman could not withstand the stress and died in a shelter during the morning attack, said the head of the OVA Tkachenko. 52-year-old Ilona Revut worked as a hairdresser-stylist in a capital salon...

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Latest estimate was only 28% of world now lives in some kind of liberal democracy. Not sure if the stats included US. Fatal flaw in liberal democracy is we allow the billionaire elite to hijack our media, which they then use to destroy liberal democracy. #MediaOwnershipRevolution #FreeThePress

I had a horrible thought when I saw @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social’s post regarding the post from #PeeWeeGerman about the memo from the Oval Office (NSPM-7) + the JTTF‘s crack down on terrorism. Add the emergency call for Generals to meet on 9/30 & naming ANTIFA as a terrorist group. Is that for this👇

With just under half of the votes counted, pro-European forces led by Maia Sandu are already heading toward a crushing majority. Even before the diaspora vote is added — which is expected to heavily favour Europe — this result signals a decisive defeat for the pro-Russian bloc. 1/2

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

War-ravaged Portland

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.

NEW: I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior. By @tilleckert.com

Be Part of Britain’s Weekend of HOPE On 18-19 October, thousands of us will take to the streets with a simple message: our communities are stronger together. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/178420/...

This should be on BBC front page, not hidden away in Welsh politics news. Robbie Gibb, a big Russia fan, doing his job well. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

But the Russian Bear is losing strength incessantly. 😏

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Europe is at war with russia, whether it likes it or not commentary by Ivo Daalder The fighting in #Ukraine is only part of russia's wider war against the continent as a whole. It's high time to recognize this reality and act accordingly. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

If everyone watched The Hack on ITV right now, we could start to repair our media, our discourse & our country. It is TV drama at its absolute best. I know most of this stuff & I’m reeling.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (Updated Version)

"The British Army tried to suppress a report revealing that female soldiers were locking themselves in their bedrooms at night to avoid sexual assault by drunken male comrades." [Tiny piece in the Times p13]

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere. Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity (Letter,Times)

“No more Mr Nice Guy: Ed Davey rebrands Lib Dems as the real opposition to Reform” BUT WHAT ABOUT BREXIT, ED? It’s Farage’s Achilles heel and you’re ignoring it. All you’re offering is some crazy new customs deal which won’t happen! TIME TO SAY YOU’RE THE PARTY OF REJOIN!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Unhinged headline!

DAILY MIRROR: Deranged #TomorrowsPapersToday

As we await Ed Davey’s big conference speech, here’s my analysis of a Lib Dem conference that was simultaneously quite boring in news terms, hugely fascinating in what it showed about the party’s sheer focus and ambition, and potentially quite consequential. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A proud moment for America, as the president bestrides the world stage like a colossus and dispenses wisdom to the gratitude of his enraptured audience. His endless lies caress the ears, as he desperately attempts to export America's culture wars and further spread his racist Hate. Proud moment.

You know russia’s version of history. Now hear mine - the one they fear. It’s not about politics. It’s about stolen cities, broken childhoods, And friends Who lost everything but dignity. Read my new post on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/139473...

🇪🇪 Former Estonian President: “I think that it will take a genuine tragedy before NATO will get itself in order on these issues, precisely because of this incredible reticence to undertake anything." Couldn’t agree more.

Its a good thing #Trump stopped this war... #Cambodia #Armenia 🤡

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.

Fuck ICE. Cowardly bastards.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

There’s a widespread misconception in Western society that repelling Russian provocations would lead to war. It’s a narrative fueled by Russian propaganda. In reality, the opposite is true: Russia will continue escalating its aggression and provocations until it is stopped.

Andrew Marr... this increase of power in the hands of a few... like trump... like 'reform' would want to do in the UK - is a new kind of politics. No, Andrew, it is anything but new. We had kings, and vassal states, and serfs and peasants, 100s of years ago. It's not new. It's the dark ages.

In early September 2025, Russian soldiers opened fire on a 74-year-old man who was riding his bicycle in Kupyansk. ​The man sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. He managed to hide in a patch of reeds and was evacuated the next day by Ukrainian soldiers to Kharkiv.

People get in a tizzy about whether to use legal or practical or moral arguments, to deploy reason or emotion, data or storytelling. The answer is: everything. Let him have it.

Totally lost the plot! Apologies to all foreigners legally settled in the UK. This is not who we are or who we want to become. #NotInMyName www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“It’s time to change the narrative. Tommy Robinson does not represent the majority of Britons. We aren’t afraid. We’re angry. And we won’t be defeated.” The power we need coming from @sangitamyska.bsky.social here www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

BBC headline signed Chris Mason at Farage conference: “Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before.” Laura Kuenssberg, BBC headline for LibDem conference: “Ed Davey loves clowning around, but is it time the Lib Dems got serious?” Fuck you, BBC.

Ha, ha, This didn't age well.
