People fatally shot by UK police in 2024/25: 2 People fatally shot by US law enforcement in 2025: 1280

Please make sure you’re a backer of this community. It’s revolutionising how media works - structurally… putting the news mix and content generation into everyone’s hands. ✊

Thankfully Britain does not have a Bible Belt, but Reform are doing the bidding of their US paymasters anyway- get ready to see more stunts like Sarah Pochin hijacking à church this week- or Tommy Robinson’s Carol service (not even satire!) yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/t...

this is insane

Quiet, Piggy.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A new report setting out how Scotland received almost £8 billion of European funding, helping create some 235,000 new jobs, serves as a “stark reminder” of what the country has “lost” because of Brexit. ⬇️ Lost opportunities and greater costs. https://bit.ly/4phsggz

#Line-Of-Duty returning for SEVENTH Series 😳🤩😍 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Did the bombshell BBC memo misquote the misquote? on.ft.com/485zOMr Spoiler alert: it did. Panorama edited Trump to make him look bad. But Prescott edited Trump to make the BBC look bad.

This is how democracies fail. A sitting President is boosting calls for the arrest and execution of political opponents for urging the military to uphold the Constitution. Every alarm in the country should be going off.

then again, the price graph for tiny, tiny violins is absolutely mental

Trump over on Truth Social is spending this morning calling for the arrest, expulsion and "DEATH" by execution of Democratic Congress members

The BBC is of immense importance: don’t let the bad guys win yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/wha...

Pinging Rachel Reeves and her immense intellectual abilities:

WTAF?

⭕️ Councils are asset stripping the Counties they run👇🏼👇🏼 Leicestershire CC (Reform & Tory) wants to sell Beaumanor Hall, Grade II listed mansion for £500K Lancashire CC plans to close care homes & day centres saving £4.6 million.. Ironically a Councillor owns a private care company with his Mrs❗️🤨

📉 Based on the UK’s pre-referendum investment level of about £230 billion a year, the cumulative loss of investment by this year could be between £275 billion and £400 billion. https://bit.ly/4oCFB34

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests, provoking negative reactions | Mark Cunliffe @markcunliffe.bsky.social @centralbylines.co.uk

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day. Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Farage's racism was noted when he was a nobody. But sure, he's not a racist. 'Farage, who earns his living as a City commodity-broker, is a man who often used words such as "n*gg*r" and "n*g-n*g" in the pub after committee meetings.' (Oct 1999) #politicslive www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/oct/...

Sarkozy (ex President of France) just got 5 years in prison for corruption and Le Pen will be panicking tonight ! Bolsonaro got a 27 yr jail term last week… the US could learn a thing or two here

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... This is war for me. Farage is attacking my family. My husband has settled status, his comments are disgusting I will campaign against Reform for being xenophobic against EU nationals and their families. Reform needs political annihilation!!!

Another excellent read by Chris Grey. There's nobody who's expended more intellectual effort on analysing the aftermath of Brexit than him, even if he is now widening his remit somewhat.

Trump's Ukraine Envoy, Kellog, Declares Russia Is 'Losing' The War As He Rips Into Putin's Army. Trump backed the losing horse. He isn’t going to like that. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trumps...

If Labour weakens the bill, they’ll look out of touch with working people. And Nigel Farage will waste no time exploiting that anger. Join us and call on the government to reject any attempts to water down protections for UK workers. 👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/uk...

We need more of this. Well done @channel4tv.bsky.social More than 100 of Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”

After decades of decline and division, Britain faces its gravest threat yet: Farage’s far-right Reform UK surge | Peter Morris

"Nigel Farage lashed out at questions over his tax affairs and said 'you’re disgusting' when The Mirror asked him about not paying stamp duty on his constituency home" https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-lashes-out-calls-35860907

Hes just a grifting lying piece of shit. Changes direction like the wind and will say and do anything to stay relevant. Not sure how people fall for his bullshit.

Farage promise to "stop the boats within two weeks of winning gov't" unravelling. Apparently, it means "after passing laws", "as quickly as possible", he "believes", the boats will still cross, but all will be deported "if necessary" and "sensible", "unless we have a duty of care". Bravo, Beth! 👏🏽

In a functioning democracy with a decent press, these would be wall-to-wall headlines: Fury as Farage Urges U.S. to Punish Britain Farage Accused of Undermining UK Sovereignty But no... "The stamp duty receipt that ended Angela Rayner’s career" FML

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Nigel Farage is not having a good day. 😂

Bit of a paradox that it takes a US Democrat to challenge Farage, whereas UK Labour does a decaf tribute act for him

Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.

Oh great we're at the minority report part english.elpais.com/internationa...

The far right wanted to march across Liverpool today… Liverpool had other ideas 👊 www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

I’m shocked Trump didn’t block this. It’s exactly the kind of history he wants to whitewash. Thousands of pages dropped on how the DOJ, FBI, and Civil Rights Commission handled Emmett Till’s murder. REMINDER: It all began with a lie from a white woman that became a death sentence for a Black kid.

Surprise surprise...

The planning approval for a coal mine, granted by the previous Conservative govt, had been found unlawful by the High Court. So now the mining company are using an investment treaty with Singapore to sue the current govt, with Tory MP Geoffrey Cox representing the claimants.

Elon Musk is applying for a license to become a UK energy provider. What could possibly go wrong? And why is the UK surrendering sovreignty to Silicon Valley? Pls read my latest for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/tec...

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:

On Sunday, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick attended a rally organised by the Homeland Party – described as one of the UK’s largest fascist groups. Jenrick was photographed with Eddy Butler, co-founder of a Nazi terrorist organisation called Combat 18. Jenrick posted that photo himself.
