Betfred says it will close all UK betting shops if gambling taxes go up. In other news, pigs have been seen flying over England. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If this Labour government had even the scintilla of any political nous it would now be showing pictures of some of those the Conservatives and Reform claim they'll deport. From the famous sports players to the people who keep public services running.

Cool, I look forward to Witkoff pressing his boss to hand over the predominantly English-speaking region of Georgia to the UK.

Victoria Derbyshire, "You want to spend a lot of public services and welfare, is the wealth tax a panacea? Zack Polanski, "I don't present it as a panacea. It's not close to a panacea, it's just the start of the things we need to do" "We need to bring Capital Gains Tax in line with Income Tax"

Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia. It’s obviously starting to hurt.

"If people weren't getting together, and [showing up] at this moment, we would be in big trouble."

Looks like people showed up in DC

For the record #Asheville turns out #NoKings

No Kings Times Square, New York City look

Amazing video from Chicago today. No Kings

This is Idaho 💙

Imagine all Americans had constitutional rights to bear arms against a government that was out of control and acting in a non-constitutional way against them! Also imagine those "rights" had been used to justify the killing of innocent children. Just imagine what those people could achieve...

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Wow! Look at this! Well done America!

Denver’s No Kings was a larger crowd than the last one. At least a mile of people for democracy.

Endless lines of protestors in Downtown Los Angeles

Here's Greenville, SC

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

Happening now: Here’s a view of the “No Kings” protest in Washington, DC

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Oh no, wait....what? No way!!! Who could've predicted this? Bailey must be some sort of clarvoinant or sage, surely, to come up with this kind of wisdom! Who else could have foretold this end result?! 🤣 news.sky.com/story/brexit...

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Jenrick allies are collecting no confidence letters from Conservative MPs calling for party leader Kemi Badenoch to quit, Hard to work out the strategy of these people. If it’s to copy Reform policies to lure back voters, it won’t work - they’ll go for the real deal.

I wonder if it has ever occurred to Tommy Robinson that if he doesn't like prison, he could try not breaking the law.

Nigel Farage Broke Britain.

Badenoch on the wrong side of everything as she attempts to turn a party with a long tradition into a Reform tribute act.

Some of the comments on here regarding today’s awful events in Manchester make me sick. If you think British Jews are responsible for the actions of Netanyahu then you share the same platform as those who think British Muslims are responsible for the actions of ISIS. Awful awful people

The response to the attack in Manchester today on X & Meta owned platforms simply underlines the failures to regulate social media properly. Until we make these platforms legally responsible for what is posted on them then nothing will change.

"Farage wants 'free speech'? You got it: that leaflet was racist. Condemn it. Apologise. And to immigrants: Farage says 'go home'? I say, you 𝘢𝘳𝘦 home." Wes Streeting calls a Reform UK leaflet suggesting Anas Sarwar would prioritise Pakistanis racist.

Farage Boats should be the new default term.

ICYMI: Anti-corruption campaigners and the Liberal Democrats are calling for fresh investigations into Russian interference in British politics, after Reform UK’s former leader in Wales admitted to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia. ✍🏼 @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Finally! Yes, please! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'm not into golf in the slightest. As the saying goes, it's the ruination of a good walk! However, if this boring sport is where MAGA Americans feel they have to attempt to express their superiority, whilst losing miserably, the US and MAGA is absolutely f**ked! news.sky.com/story/team-e...

After the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill pleaded guilty to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money, worth reupping the FIVE QUESTIONS Nigel Farage is never asked about his fondness for Putin @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Michael Crick, journalist: “It depresses me how much fellow political journalists are down-playing this - a dranatic story not just about Russia corrupting a British politician - as they've done in Germany & France - but also about the character judgement+relationships of Reform leaders Farage+Tice”

How much more evidence do people need that Nigel Farage and his allies are Putin tools? I mean really? Enough already

If you just watched every world leader having to sit there and listen to that vomit of insanity, literal hostages of a nutcase in charge of the world's largest military power, and your takeaway was "iF oNLy StArMeR hAd nOt GiVeN HiM a StAtE ViSiT" you really need intensive therapy.

Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one

Just to be clear: - Paracetamol does not cause autism. - Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK - We do not have a massive free speech problem here. - Britain is not on the verge of civil war. These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.
