In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty. Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

Trump's press secretary recommends critical thinking skills for journalists. #bbcpm

BBC News: The Trump regime is about to announce something about autism. Not BBC News: And it's entirely wrong. #bbcpm

The UK has today recognised Palestinian statehood. But for recognition to mean anything, the UK must push Israel to end the occupation, writes @drhahellyer.bsky.social.

Robert Kennedy: Oh, it's all the fault of these painkllers, not every vaccine ever invented. What do I do now? #bbcpm

Another in the GOP’s latest strategy to shut down all debate. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: “Hatred toward Israel is ultimately hatred toward all…Western civilization. “If we worship the creation more than the Creator, we will end up with an antisemitic and anti-Christian worldview.”

Wild how the critics of BlueSky regard basic human decency as extreme left politics.

Traditional, British cake toppings!

What does this man have against cake toppings?

#politicslive moves from desk show to sofa show, and saves money by not attending party conferences.

The Timms review was already planned before the government pulled back from its welfare reforms. It's much more complicated than one single thing. #wato

I think I know, but could some news organisation please explain how you "move a runway"? #wato

"More countries are expected to follow the UK..." Just shaking my head at the vapidity of it. #wato

No, David Bull, Reform has not saved £100mn on school transport. www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/fr... #politicslive

There are naughty kids. The slogan is "just naughty kids". #polticslive

The government is considering different ways of providing SEND support... ... but they're really crap at telling the story. (They might be about to propose really bad policies as well. I'll wait.) #politicslive

I’m old enough to remember Harvey Proctor getting booed at the 1983 Tory conference for suggesting something like this.

Today at the Lib Dem conference #politicslive

One agreement with 27 other member states #politicslive

Things are happening in Bournemouth. #politicslive

If a presenter or a guest addressed David Bull's points it might be different, but Reform's basic headline will stick. #politicslive

Lib Dem conference time, so there's a Reform press event. And no LibDem representative on #politicslive. What will they do for the Labour and Tory conferences? New format, sofas, and background music? Oh dear. #politicslive

50 minutes, until Farage closed the event. Reform's mass deportation event lasted 90 minutes, uninterrupted.

The Creosote Kid has a go at a halo.

There is a human cost when xenophobic rhetoric is spouted. My father, uncles, and grandfather did not fight fascism in #WWll for Tice and Farage to open the door to fascism on our doorsteps. #FightFascism

As the late, great Tommy Docherty used to say ‘I’d rather have them in front of me (so I can see what they’re up to)’…’

Lib Dem conference: Reform announces incoherent anti-immigrant policy. What will they propose when Labour and the Tories get together? #r4today

"Grit in the wheels is a protection." Read the thread to see where that fits in.

Damn! People are reposting this, and the media are discussing it. That means my brilliant entry, which has been ignored by the publishng world for decades, willl be crowded out.

This is because X is radicalising its user base… and many of them don’t realise it.

Personally I think it’s great Charlie Kirk brought all these kids closer to Jesus. Apart from the gay ones, obviously. They need to be stoned to death. Never ceases to amaze me how these lunatics claim to believe in an all powerful god, but insist they retain the right to point out his mistakes.

Repost, and repost again.

💯. Progressives have to stop franchising out their consciences to the courts. Politics is about moral choices. The problem with Reform's proposal isn't that "the courts won't allow it". It's that it's grotesque and inhuman. If we're democrats, we must believe that this argument can be won.

#r4today reported this "policy announcement" and left it hanging, undiscussed.

This family, like too many in the region, is enduring a grim ordeal. A meaningful route to peace must be found so land stained with innocent blood can begin to heal. #Israel #Palestine
