Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space… …with widely-held public opinions… …tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.

@octopus.energy I switched supplier on 1/10/25. You sent a final gas bill on 4/10 & electricity bill on 5/10 some 10 working days ago. Yet I am still waiting a refund of over £800. This is in breach of Ofgen’s Guaranteed Standards of Performance. Please confirm when I will be refunded.

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales) Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories…. You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country. And you think it’s bad now?!

We should carry that sentence in our heads whenever we feel weary or overwhelmed or encounter the disillusioned, the apathetic..."Fascism doesn't need your support, just your silence."

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

The compassionate world is headed for a mincer with the crank turned by broligarchs, OILligarchs,warmongers and mafioso grifters and liars and still BBC radio news gives Farage the headline.

Let’s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist? Like if he is. RT if he is Donald Trump's little bitch.

This is chilling…… Gerald Knaus discusses this rise of the far right…(abv version) “Putin tries to destroy the infrastructure ..because he knows (it will) create refugee crisis in Aleppo, now in Ukraine. They come to Germany, Austria, and then our (Russia’s far right) friends benefit politically”

And the UK appears very keen to follow your lead. 🤡 Brexit vote in 2016. 🤡 Brexit is then a barrelling moronathon that we resolutely ignore. 🤡 And now - even though their big idea is a total shitshow - the brexity British MAGA party leads in the polls. Can’t teach that slavish devotion to failure.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Before you shrug and say “Oh. PPE again. Old news” Remember 1/ that cost lives due to reduced - or no- protection 2/ All those £billions could have been spent on crumbling NHS and school infrastructure Instead it went into Tory crony pockets That‘s your money & my money going into their pockets

I know blaming the advisor is usually a distraction from problems at the top but since sacking a PM who won a huge majority 14 months ago is probably mad, and since they're not going to do it anyway, I really think they should sack the demonstrably useless advisor. www.politico.eu/newsletter/l...

‘You, Boy! This is actually NOT my house, It’s my girlfriend’s. I misspoke.’

He's EXTREMELY tetchy.

It feels deeply unfair, but at the same time, we want government to be free from the taint of corruption, so it's the right course. I do, however, feel very sorry for Rayner. NOW let's watch the press hold other politicians to these standards.

Everyone, including the BBC, really needs to do better. This is not a game. The hatred is brewing. We’re on the cusp of civil unrest as a result of disinformation. People’s safety and potentially lives are at stake.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

There's no better poster child for the mess the UK is now in than the fact that the Financial Times - home to the "how to spend it" supplement on luxury geegaws - is now one of the most left-wing media channels in the country simply because it's still interested in reality.

Dear media. I think controlled immigration is a good thing for our culture & our economy. I think we should be a safe place for people fleeing persecution. I think you’re enabling far right extremism to flourish & become the norm in this country? I think that’s appalling. From a UK citizen.

I feel nothing but shame and disgust at my nation's flag being turned into a weapon and a threat.

BREAKING NEWS! Number of asylum seekers in hotels up 8% in past year, but falls slightly since March??? The new obsession. Don’t remember knowing any of this. Don’t remember this being breaking news when the Tories were in power?

I always love it when people get up on their high horse about this, because I do know lots of people who were Tories for decades and are now Reform and let me tell you, getting to know them is a highly instructive and helpful experience with many useful lessons. Give me a minute here.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Today my barber and an acquaintance (now a former acquaintance and former barber) have been openly racist. The radicalisation of Britain is happening at a frightening speed and it’s disgusting. This isn’t the country I grew up in.

“𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 is why we had a revolution against people like you.” At a 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 event on the UK’s Online Safety Act, Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin says Nigel Farage "screamed" at him for criticising Trump, calling him “pig-headed.”

Current mood……. 😠

And this is the bit I don’t get… How you could look at them, and not see that they could be our children.

The brutal personal toll of politics. Those of us who carp and criticize from the sidelines, of which I am guilty too, should be careful not to drive all good people out of the arena, leaving only the grifters and charlatans in charge.

Heart & soul from #raye 🫶🏼 what a voice & what a class act….. 👏

“She just smiled and held my hand” #commonpeople #pulp #glasto25 bloody brilliant!

Remote control.

Reform is a Limited Company Farage owns 53% It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit” It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget It wants to privatise the NHS & invest in fossil fuels Close the BBC & break International law It’s a scam Please retweet widely

I've been a journalist for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've witnessed as much wilful (and v likely coordinated) disinformation from certain corners of the UK media than over past few days. Sun, Mail and Telegraph have been truly awful - and seemingly shameless www.theguardian.com/business/202...

In the UK we have something called The Byline Times through which supporters fund quality independent journalism. It's a small way to fight back against the tide of crap coming from the oligarch press.

“They were careless people, they smashed up things and people, and then retreated back into their money," The Great Gatsby. F Scott Fitzgerald. 100 years old today.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Brexit has never looked quite so ruinously insane as it does right now. And it’s always been idiotic. Alone, outside the EU, needing to improve our relationship with our own continent but also terrified of the wrecking-ball lunatic in the White House. Cornered by our own ‘sovereign’ stupidity.

Current mood……. 😠

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

You could make a LOT of money if you knew in advance that the stock market was about to soar or plunge. Wonder how many people in Trump's inner circle are in on the decision making aspects of this wild whirlwind of on-again-off-again tariffs?

As we welcome the news that the UK will support Ukraine with a £2.26bn loan… Here’s your reminder that the Conservatives wasted £9.9bn on unusable or defective PPE Never forget their staggering corruption and incompetence.

My fav photo of me

"They are not on Twitter, but they are in local communities" The Lib Dems could not have paid an agency for a better slogan.

Posting footage of deportations impresses no one. Reform voters don’t think it’s enough hatred and the rest of us turn away from yet more performative cruelty. The Labour vote disintegrates. If Labour can’t decide who it should be talking and listening to, then it ends up without an audience.
