Tommy Robinson will not come to Birmingham There’s a reason the far-right march in cities like London but haven’t in the second city Brummies - black, white, asian - won’t have it Bookmark this tweet

I have chosen the word "government" deliberately. Most people fail to understand that government is continuous. The standing of the UK is dependent on its perceived competence & integrity. Decisions passed by Parliament under one government are honoured by the next. 3/

We know, from the limited Russia report, that the UK government did not direct SIS to investigate. Perhaps that is why the BBC, Sky etc. has been so reticent to highlight Gill - because it would raise questions as to why UK government didn't direct. Did they collude? 2/

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit. All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating. 1/

Authoritarians fear only one thing: DEFIANCE‼️ (Downtown Portland)

The frogs were the first plague on Egypt. Exodus 8. 1. Moses asked Pharaoh to release his ppl. When he refused, God sent a plague of frogs. The frog suits are a great symbol for the struggle to free, not only Chicago but the whole of the USA from Trump's tyranny

I find @tomtugendhat.bsky.social's argument not just ludicrous, but dangerous. Due process is *absolutely* paramount in criminal law - not "whose side you are on". We don't trample Separation of Powers just because you feel rightly angry and ashamed for being spied on *while Security Minister".

I keep having people telling me that I shouldn't vote for Labour because they are appeasing the *far* right. It's a big claim. When I ask for examples, I get deflections or insults. I'm asking for specific examples because it's very easy for a nice-sounding narrative to form. #UKPolitics #Labour

Trump can say this is the beginning of a lasting peace all he wants, but the reality is: The Occupation continues, settlers continue to terrorise Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza is a ruin and could collapse into civil war, and the Israeli government still does not want a Palestinian state

Richard Tice - "Please welcome to the stage... Nathan Gill" So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

Journalist: Why didn't Trump get it? Nobel Peace Prize Committee say they only give the prize to those with courage and integrity More integrity that every politician sucking up to Trump

I could watch Zack Polanski utterly wreck Zia Yusuf ALL DAY LONG.

Fiona explains to the audience a decade old non- story pre-dating Polanskis’ career in politics But she won’t explain the Nathan Gill story #Bbcqt from a few weeks ago about Nathan Gill, Farage and Reform Russian bribery story bylinetimes.com/2025/10/04/t...

Richard Tice wants Sharia Law in the UK...

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts. Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

Polanski now supports a banned terror group even though he won’t have access to their actions like the government does. He’s blindly supporting them and that’s dangerous.

This is Nigel Farage for you... The real Nigel Farage. His slashing and cutting would hit his voters the most.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

I'm no expert on this or anything but I am aware we had a Black Mayor of Battersea in 1913! Black Brits also gave us the origins of my favourite genre of music. Drum and Bass in all its forms from the sweet, funky, or downright nasty. IIRC it started with Jungle Techno & Jungle before mainstream DnB

Is this The Watcher?

Exactly. He has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. He had the ability to help her and he did. Seems like the sort of person I would want as a leader!

Something needs to be done about people complaining in person about waiting times for NHS non-emergency appointments. It's slowly getting better but it will take years to be sorted after what the TORIES did to it. Everytime medics are interrupted you risk someone else's life & increase waiting times

I've been reliably informed most of the European Research Group cronies in the BBC governing board contracts expire next year. My speculation is it's likely very expensive to terminate them early resulting in a big fat payout at the taxpayer's expense. FFS SMH 👇🏻 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_boy... ☝🏻

I've been using a mobility scooter for several months and have discovered how shockingly inaccessible Asda is because all the chilled sections are enclosed with doors and they swing outwards. Which makes them totally impossible to use lol. Tesco freezers at least have sliding doors. #UK #Disability

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

Love that the PM is personally taking the time to thank long term staff for their public service. Ben has been working in Downing Street for 25 years! www.instagram.com/p/DO0xA-OjFFO/

The split in Your Party has broken into the open. Jeremy Corbyn urges supporters not to donate to the link promoted by Zarah Sultana. Sultana responds calling it a "sexist boys club."

Very simple in systems theory perspective: When you control communications, you control the systems. You can't control, because it is too complex, but you can irritate or channel communications and "direct" emergence. So, it's a big problem when few people "own" the communication of the many.

What might prove more effective is to forget about trying to engage effectively with racists and concentrate on uniting those who may have different views on many other issues and perhaps different politics but are appalled by the far right and can stand together on that single issue.

TLDR: Make racism shameful again. While you’re at it add fascism too.

Sorry, but this was weird and very chilling.... and not because a young husband has just been tragically killed. These people know nothing but escalation, division and hate in every circumstance. Our equivalent is the thorougly dignified Brendan Cox. That's who I'll be thinking of today.

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

‘Five Houses’ Farage has a certain ring. And he owns, or has claimed to own, all of them. Which is four more than Angela Rayner does… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Now we know, they have no idea where the shooter is, or even who the shooter is...for that matter. I mean, what could go wrong when you have an FBI Director with no experience...and an idiot president who insisted on firing the most experienced and longest serving experts at the FBI.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signs an agreement to push ahead with the controversial E1 settlement expansion. “We are going to fulfill our promise that there will be no Palestinian state, this place belongs to us,” www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

Put your hands in the air for some New Jack Swing - LMFG!! She’s bad, she’s bad, she’s bad, all I know is… #musicsky #80s #music #80sMusic #OldSchool #over40sky #over50sky open.spotify.com/track/24gxdU...

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

The media and their backers were determined to get Boris Johnson elected. Remember when he could do no wrong. Ignored all his moral depravity? Well they are doing the same with Farage.

Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

I don't understand why Farage's vile policy is Starmer's fault, it isn't Labour policy. Labour is doing what it said it would, clearing the claims backlog, working with France and other countries, stopping the dangerous dinghy crossing and deporting those here illegally. The tone's a bit off though.
