BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss. If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled. Join.greenparty.org.uk

So - let me get this straight… They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work What? #4corners #auspol

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

We're pleased that the loathsome comments carried by GB News, which equated being LGBT+ with being a paedophile, have been found in breach of the Ofcom code, following 71,000 complaints collected by @goodlawproject.bsky.social. pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...

‘How do you work that out, lads?’ James O’Brien is unimpressed with the Daily Mail’s framing of Gary Neville’s Union Jack rant.

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

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

Your rights are guaranteed by the ECHR for as long as we remain signatories and you can take the UK government to the European Court. As soon as we leave, you will ONLY have the “rights” that the government of the day permits you to have.

Just heard Chris Philp on BBC’s Today programme explaining why the Tories want to leave the ECHR. He claimed ECHR isn’t mentioned in Belfast Agreement - which is simply untrue. The UK govt agreed to incorporate it into NI law & give direct access to the courts (Strand 3). Why no BBC fact-check?

The ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation. In an age of upheaval and division, we must not let it be torn up for political convenience

Labour call out Reform's racist policies... and immediately ape them further. It's like celebrating your resolution to go on a diet with a slap-up meal at McDonalds.

The edict should go out from Starmer to every Labour MP to always refer to the small boats carrying asylum seekers as "Farage Boats" and, if challenged, explain that we're only seeing so many now because of Brexit. He made that point in one GB News interview, but it needs to be made infinite times.

Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally was sponsored by a convicted fraudster allegedly behind cryptocurrency ‘rug pulls’ The far-right rally was bankrolled by convicted fraudster alleged to be behind two cryptocurrency scams, Byline Times can reveal bylinetimes.com/2025/10/01/t...

"Labour, the party of deep-pocketed workers". Quite the ring to it. This has "Another Potential Comms Disaster" running through it, like the motto in a stick of rock. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

Keir Starmer: doesn't want to rejoin the EU Andy Burnham: wants to rejoin the EU One of these men is putting country before ideology, and it's not the first of the two

‘Who said he’s as honest as the day is long?’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social poses a question about Reform’s ex-leader in Wales, who admitted making pro-Russian statements to the EU Parliament for cash.

When will Labour (and Tories) work out that trying to out-Reform Reform merely justifies their horrendous policies, making them look like Johnny-Come-Latelies, instead of FIGHTING them and showing them up for the nasty, brainless fascists that they really are?

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.". Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918

Zack Polanski, "We must condemn Tommy Robinson, we must condemn Reform UK MPs" "But we must not condemn those people in the country who are feeling scared right now, who are not feeling listened to, who have suffered the consequences of decades of austerity and have been left behind"

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

The USA are now at the point where they're just casually murdering people in international waters and expecting the entire world to take them at their word when they say the charred wreckage contained drug runners. (Who, in any case, should be entitled to a trial, not summary execution.)

The British Isles. Hmmm, let’s see… Britons Bretons Celts Gaels Romans Angles Jutes Saxons Danes Norse Frisians Normans Dutch Huguenots White Russians German Jews West Indians Ugandan Asians et al … When were we EVER not taking immigrants?

I have NEVER seen a party as determined not to get re-elected as the current incarnation of Labour. It's bizarre and thoroughly depressing. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage has spent the summer stoking fears around migrants and women’s safety. But the statistics Farage and other Reform UK politicians have been parroting don’t stand up to scrutiny goodlawproject.org/dodgy-statis...

With respect to the candidates, it really doesn't make a difference who the next deputy of the Labour Party is. The party is so fundamentally broken - it seeks only to protect the wealth of it's donors. I spoke to The Indepedent 👇🏼 youtu.be/sTes4wqlOBQ?...

Maths homework

Exceptional from Zack Polanski on a 1% wealth tax and aligning CGT on earned income #C4News The Greens are proposing what Labour should have rolled out when they came into power in 2024 I'm pro wealth, pro entrepreneurialism, pro innovation, but I'm also pro wealth taxes on those with £10m+

@chrismason.bsky.social do your damn job and hold farage accountable. We can all see the BBC falling over itself to report on the rise of Reform. Any dimwit can do that. Policies that are impossible and would bankrupt the country. Venal racism. Your job is to challenge, not just report with glee

Lucy Connolly, jailed for urging people to set fire to hotels housing refugees, is speaking at the Reform party conference today. All the worst people.

This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.

Zack Polanski just dropped a mic over Starmer - and we're here for it "What we've had from Keir Starmer is despicable in terms of the politics". That's Zack Polanski saying that, not us - but he's right. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

The more Labour stampede right, the emptier the vacuum for the LibDems to go "Let's just ****ing rejoin the EU already!" and snaffle up votes. But it would need to be a loud, proud and sustained message. Not a policy line item on their website, but front and centre in all comms. 2025 is NOT 2019.

Leaked emails link NHS data privatiser Palantir to Jeffrey Epstein A trove of leaked emails have shone further light on Palantir founder Peter Thiel's connections to Jeffrey Epstein www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

Yvette, I'm confused.

It's very simple. The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money. Not the people with hardly any money. It really shouldn't need explaining.
