If this is not concerning you, you are wrong.

Dehumanising opponents is the first step in the most evil behaviour the human race has ever committed. This is from "the natural party of government". The UK is broken.

In case you are wondering, the BBC are using "Confused" as a euphemism for "thick as pig shit". BBC News - Confused immigration protesters at Julie Goodyear's old mansion - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

@lbc.co.uk making this subject a phone-in topic is in such bad taste. Pay tribute to the girls and forget the sub-human entity who took them ever existed. Don't make it a topic for people to phone in to give their 2p worth. Have turned off.

"There's a genocide happening in this island because it is being taken over by dffiferent people that are not indigenous to this land" "I would love to know where you are planning to go when they really turn on us. Because it has happened before + will happen again" Thomas Corbett-Dillon, GB News

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social Tony Blair is watching Keir Starmer make the decision he knows he should have made. His ego will not allow him to accept that and reflect on it (something which would go a little way to restore some of his legacy with some).

You in another decade. Uni night out.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

1. Thread 🧵 Freedom of Movement wasn’t just a policy. It was a simple freedom: the ability to say yes. • Yes to a job. • Yes to love. • Yes to a new life in another country. When that freedom disappeared, something subtle but important changed.

Better man than Trump could ever hope to be.

@lbc.co.uk @tomswarbrick.bsky.social It is a simple calculation. The payment is less than it would cost us to house/fed etc failed asylum seekers. So the country benefits. These should be a last resort (I.e get return agreement with the home country) but should be a tool the Gov't use.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

FFS this is the extremely dangerous combination of barbarism and stupidity that is currently in charge of the most powerful military in the world. Genuinely terrifying.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them. I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Migration is part of what makes this country great. We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours. The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Spanish PM going in on Trump!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk How often when you have a pop about RW media parroting Trump/Tory talking points without critical thinking, are you directly talking about the guy who presents directly before you each morning?

“He’s gonna have to say it out loud eventually, and it feels like he could take it in some kind of insane direction like HOOR-muzz or maybe horm-SUH,” said Arkansas resident Janet Flitchen

Imagine my surprise when tuning into @lbc.co.uk to hear Nick Ferrari thinking that Keir Starmer has handled everything poorly.

With: - Trump & his billionaire mates taking the US for themselves; - US, Israel & Iran round 207; - Palestinians still being murdered in their homeland; - Proud Boys/ICE terrorising innocent people; & - UK political class mostly being liars/idiots/both, Nihilism seems a fairly reasonable approach.

Have I got this right? Farage bemoaning the Greens win as a result of "family voting" means he thinks loads of Muslim women wanted to vote Reform but their husbands stopped them 😂

just quite maddening that Osborne's legacy is currently "hey that guy who helped the Tories get back into power then was chancellor for a while until Brexit, and now he has 300 jobs lol" and not "look, everything the light touches was fucked up by George Osborne in some way between 2010 and 2016"

So much fun!

Four years to the day since we discovered the full extent of Ukraine's resilience, courage and willingness to sacrifice for national survival. Europe has made huge progress towards supporting Ukraine without the US. But here are three critical points that Europe needs to understand right now. 🧵

Last week we revealed that Adam Mitula, campaign manager for Reform UK's Matthew Goodwin, has made racist comments on social media.

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk 1 example of not integrated meaning no white people is Jenrick's comments about Handsworth, which is made up of Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Caribbean, African, Irish, English, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Christian.... Can't think of a better example of integration.

Happy #Lawyercat Anniversary for all who celebrate! It's been four years since the kitten appeared in my Zoom courtroom, and I released the 48 second video that made the whole world laugh. Here is the full video showing the big reveal at the end (in two parts because Blue sky). Enjoy!

I'm sorry but it's very funny to me that the legislature of a G7/P5 country of 70 million is currently drafting the "Fuck This One Guy in Particular Act of 2026." Also, imagine tolerating a system of privilege so entrenched you need to rewrite centuries-old rules just to get at one douchebag.

I'm German. I've been schooled in my country's history & crimes all my life. I'm also a political scientist, educated in Germany, the UK, & US. As the comparisons betw the situation in the US & Nazi Germany are increasing to frequent, allow me to comment. A 🧵

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)
