A Reform UK Councillor who last week apologised for a single social media post he claimed had been 'misinterpreted' as racist, posted a series of other racist and offensive posts. Messages uncovered by Byline Times shows Ken Tranter comparing Muslims to cockroaches who will "take over" the country

Farage almost never talks about brexit any more. He's pivoted entirely to the issue of "illegal" migration which I a bit ironic because one of the main planks of his own leave campaign was that Brexit would stop "illegal" immigration...

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse. I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence. Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

I highly recommend reading this piece. "Will this fossil fuel fascism, that billionaire-backed campaign to crush a green transition by any means necessary, hold back the tide of clean energy autonomy? It cannot be ruled out."

NEW: The Newest Oldest President Donald Trump has not faced the same scrutiny for his age as Joe Biden did. For now. But as Trump is poised to turn 80 next month, questions about his health and increasingly erratic behavior are growing www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The inevitable outcome of Labour's hostile anti-asylum policies, including halting family reunification, is that it is children who suffer. This puts them at far more risk of human trafficking, abuse and starvation, among other things. Labour was warned of this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Who looks at these flags on roundabouts and lampposts and feels pride? Far right thugs and racists. And who looks at them with fear and loathing? Everyone else. National flags are being used as Nazi bunting by Reform and the far right. Let’s call this what it is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Some believe anything and it’s destroying our society. Interconnected Facebook & Instagram accounts create and share anti-immigration AI-generated posts about the UK to large audiences - the creators are from Sri Lanka, US, Europe, Vietnam, the Maldives, or linked to Iran and the UAE

Trump is putting our futures, our lives and our livelihoods at risk. And our leaders? They do nothing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jbW...

Thought for Starmer: Make Angela Rayner Health Secretary, citing her experience of the care system. She clears out Palantir and refocuses on the public service remit of the NHS. Reinstate her as Deputy Prime Minister - Lammy isn’t Deputy Leader so that’s not a requirement and he has another job.

It’s not enough to just highlight Donald Trump’s corruption--like his new $10 billion lawsuit scam to grab our tax dollars. We must demand Trump and all involved be criminally prosecuted. And we need Democratic officials to do that in the media. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trumps-10-...

THE HATER AND THIEF.......

The fact that Keir Starmer has drafted Morgan McSweeney back in to save him has to be funniest part of all of this. Truly committed to never learning a single lesson you have to give it to him

Trump is putting our futures, our lives and our livelihoods at risk. And our leaders? They do nothing. action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-03...

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Starmer has finally come to the same realisation I have been warning about for years: if a Labour government lets in Reform at the next election, that will be deemed an unforgivable error. Essentially the end of the Labour party if it happens. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

What the election results look like from an outsider’s perspective? A) the party currently in govmt has the most council seats✅ B) seat distribution suggests a robust even healthy multiparty democracy✅ C) centre+left-leaning parties TOGETHER still carry almost twice as many seats as the right✅

Environment Agency has not completed any prosecutions against water companies in England & Wales for pollution incidents occurring in the last five years. Companies rip-off people, dump sewage, still allowed to trade. Execs rewarded. Occasional corporate fines waived or deferred. archive.ph/db8Mt

In a few days, Israel could sing at Eurovision while Palestinians continue to die. This festival should stand for unity, not cover up war crimes. Artists are speaking out. Now it’s our turn. Add your name: Israel out of Eurovision! action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-05...

A thousand times, yes. Passionate, brilliant article, deriding Farage for the snake oil salesman that he is, and the damage he’s done; and making the case for being back in Europe where we belong. bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/n...

Exc: This week Nigel Farage explained an undeclared £5m donation as essential for security He cited an "outright arson attempt" on his house. But @theobserveruk.bsky.social has established that police are investigating the incident as a burglary observer.co.uk/news/politic...

A political window of opportunity may be opening to reverse Brexit - but only if the British political and media class is honest with itself and the public. My latest on the current state of UK-EU relations and the overwhelming case for Rejoin

Morning news roundup🥳 Yesterday’s Tesla Earnings Call seemingly imploded with Musk stating that his self driving/RoboTaxi systems don’t work which are a CRUCIAL part of the $340/share Tesla valuation. Without that self driving skill, the share price shld be closer to $30-50 acc to experts. Oops😉

Fossil fuel companies are profiting from Trump's war and we all are paying for is. We must tax their excessive profits, provide direct relief to people and invest directly in green energy. Sign the petition now! share.greens-efa.eu/s/wxLN17Es

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

TUR: It appears the president is more desperate in this moment. Do you agree? LAWLER: Well, let's look back. Obama engaged in a 7-month conflict in Libya-- TUR: We don't need to go back to Obama. Let's stick w/ Trump LAWLER: Excuse me, excuse me. Yes we do. TUR: How does that make this war okay?

Tell Congress: Pass the bill to create a 25th Amendment Commission NOW. Trump is unfit and dangerous — we need an independent body that can remove him if he spirals. This is how we protect the country. #VoteYesVirginia!

"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that he will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."

Q: Trump has repeatedly threatened civilian infrastructure. Last week he said that if his demands weren't met, an entire civilization would die. Are you comfortable w/that? THUNE: I think you gotta look at what the president is doing. He's trying to open up the strait, which we're all supportive of

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake.. Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.
