Danny Kruger claims migrant men represent a disproportionate threat to women. FACT-CHECK: Reform MPs are a bigger "Per Capita" threat to women and girls than ANY minority group. #Bbcqt

It’s incredible how many scandals the BBC has *missed* in recent times. Failing to properly report exactly how catastrophic our government handled the pandemic compared with other countries was the worst …. in a very long list. #LookOverThere #ToryCovidCatastrophe #BBC #Establishment #MemeForToday

I've read quite a few western journalists telling us what to think about Saudi Arabia recently, and none of them take the time to talk to Saudi women. If you want a different perspective, I urge you to read the Saudi Whisperer Substack, authored by a Saudi woman 1/3

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all. Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Truth needs institutions to protect it. A new report warns that UK agencies safeguarding science, health and data are vulnerable to political interference – and lessons from the US show how fragile truth can be. Stephen McNair reports.

Piers Morgan, "No man has been made accountable for this (Epstein) scandal" - then invites Prince Andrew for an interview to clear things up

So true.

Should Britain adopt a Dutch-style voting system to stop a party opposed by most voters from taking absolute power? Is it time to add a “safety valve” to UK democracy? Stephen McNair reports.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Thanks so much for this Doc - exactly what Justin was talking about in pub last night (and to be fair he did say he'd seen it somewhere!). It's brilliant x

Me too. So many people now seem to have no idea of personal space.

The people marching in London today are very obviously the ideological descendants of the Mosleyite BUF fascists of the 1930s. The mainstream news and media are too timid to point it out, but that's what they are - and we normalise it at our peril.

Is it time for Israel to be kicked out of Eurovision, UEFA, FIFA and the Olympics?

UK politics used to be class-based: Labour for solidarity, Tory for aspiration. That broke down in the Thatcher era. After 2008 trust in the old parties collapsed and 'tribes' have begun to dominate. Here's why that is a problem ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

Absolutely brilliant 👇😀😀😀

I should add some nuance to this point - access to work is different across EU countries & there remain many barriers. But in some countries it's working well. We should be matching asylum seekers with language & skills training in areas where we need workers to get the best for all
