Good piece www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

The most depressing thing about America’s rapid decline under Trump is that while he is busily throwing Taiwan under a bus, he has received no Chinese help with Iran. He has left the US weak and exposed with his ill conceived war.

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

Big demo assembling, Exhibition Road, London #standuptoracism

Pro-Palestine marches are pro-peace. Yet they’re deliberately perceived as anti-Israel, the meaning conflated to mean anti-semitism and the protests forbidden Whereas if the far right march, their hate filled message which is predominantly anti-Muslim is allowed!! youtu.be/GC4rHRMwiOY?...

Time for more political action on the circular economy. Manufacturers and producers need to take waste products and disposal/reuse into account. This is the sensible, environmental and sustainable way forward www.nu.nl/economie/639...

No matter what they might say, the aim is to intimidate. Personally I find the flags oppressive. Displays associated with authoritarians as they try to intimidate citizens. The groups, putting up these flags, are nothing but groomed militia thugs, ! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The hatred, first shown at school, where cleverness and working to be clever, is to be insulted, bullied and derided at all times...... www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Lots of people are going to think this is too simplistic, but this is how things are. Neoliberal centrists like Keir Starmer and all the other Western leaders have made themselves very unpopular, by pursuing harsh neoliberalism for the super-rich, whilst falsely claiming to represent everyone. 1/3

🍉 'British Palestinians feel unable to speak openly about Israel’s war on Gaza, the director of the British Palestinian Committee has said, amid what campaigners believe is a growing climate of hostility around Palestinian identity and activism in the UK.' www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

So had she been referred to Prevent? She seems like she has been heavily radicalised, apart from the obvious mental difficulties caused by a stressful childhood. Making the case for better social housing that individuals and families can call home. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve decided that I’ll only feature videos of Farage in my content with voice modification, like the BBC did with Sinn Fein in the 90s, to avoid giving them the oxygen of publicity or any illusion of credibility.

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social @mothinali.bsky.social As a Green Party member I urge you to give Burnham a free pass here. Tactical voting will be increasingly important over the coming years, and helping Burnham - a natural ally for us surely? - would be credit in the bank!

No apartheid? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Intimidation is a tactic used by those trying to avoid scrutiny, as right wingers love to do The secret political life of ... Nigel Farage, paid (as he admits) for political work, but failing to disclose, because he can't help himself, he only knows how to lie. www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-of...

On Simon Heffer arguing that Enoch Powell was not arguing for racism. ⬇️

Very important, this. The last time these people marched I didn’t feel safe as a person of colour travelling into the centre of the city I live in and where my children and grandchildren are growing up. Nor, for that matter, did the white half of our family.

Been seeing a lot of such graphs in recent years 😬 #BraveNewWorld

Intimidation and bullying by right wingers that conflate religion and nationalism is a stain on humanity throughout the world

This is another brilliant one from @ledbydonkeys.org [IG] Nigel Farage's close connection with Nomad Capitalists who encourages a "different" type of economic migration. 💰

Why does Radio 4 always platform as its 'independent legal expert' Jonathan Sumption, known to be hostile to the European Convention on Human Rights? Especially as he wasn't a human rights lawyer? (A rhetorical question. It's the BBC the Tories created and Starmer is too clueless to push back.)

Die with it not of it? Just be aware when making these decisions! www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Watch this: youtu.be/RbtHyPcc1rs?...

The abuse happens when humans are not held accountable before the law. The best universal law currently available being Human Rights Law, applicable to all. There should be no excuse or exceptionalism for any religious or non religious creed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"but frankly" ...... is this the last 'but frankly'? What was wrong with the previous 'but frankly''s? Will there be more 'but frankly''s? Liar, Liar, Liar!

Britain was badly governed by the Tories under Thatcher. Just like the US was badly governed by the GOP under Reagan. The assumption that these periods represent good governance, reflects a deeply flawed concept of what adaptive institutional structures look like

Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.

When I attended the ILGA conference last year there was a closed session with the Human Rights Commissioner for the problem cases: Hungary, Albania and the UK. I think this map flatters the UK and we are worse than it shows.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

But we are English! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

This💯 Not a huge Rory fan, but this was good.

Another uncommonly clear today at Utqiaġvik showing the sun never quite setting. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Israel’s crimes are not a "blood libel". They are documented truth.

Starmer dropkicks Badenough in the commons. Humour in adversity. And he has quite the way with a punchline.

The bullying of the current business elites get us PM's that don't disturb the status quo www.cnbc.com/2026/05/13/j...

Are you sure? 😂🤣😜

Time more was made of this in UK commentary www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A huge announcement in the King's Speech - what a pity it’s getting little media attention due to all the reporting on a possible leadership challenge. The government have pledged to introduce a new bill to abolish right-to-buy for new social homes.

Ben Habib to Paul Thorpe on donations to Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson from foreign based billionaire Christopher Harborne, "£14,000,000 to the Brexit party" "£5,000,000 payment that Farage took in 2024" "£1,000,000 to Boris Johnson" "£1,000,000 to Nigel Farage"
