To remove indefinite leave to remain from people who already have it they'd have to dismantle our entire system of rights legislation and probably end judicial independence. But they could do that with a majority. They've said they'd do that.

Also: bear in mind that this is what’s being served up almost a full four years before the next General Election. At this rate, any 2029 manifesto offerings milder than indentured labour for anyone whose family arrived after 1066 would be a pleasant surprise

“This policy is a fucking disgrace and will do harm to the people it affects, our economy, our services, and it’s morally reprehensible” is the correct response not “haha your numbers are wrong and it may not even be legal”

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

Whoops you probably don't want to be setting off your 'don't steal our stuff' smoke machine first thing on a Monday morning.

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

What's the matter babe you've barely touched your event horizon ribs

Loooooool at Australia going to the wall to stop the US entering Intervision

Surely this should be at the Reform conference.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Something Awful being a bastion of reasonably decent posting and low tolerance for nazi shitheels was not something I had on my list of things to expect in tyool 2025

Message boards used to moderate out Nazi content.

Running around with a chainsaw isn't a viable political strategy? Who knew?

"Hiring a babysitter is way beyond what we can afford" Ma'am, let me blow your mind about a free place where you can send your kids for most of the day

In local news: some donut shop owners are crashing out on social media because the Department of Labor told them they have to stop exploiting their (allegedly homeschooled) minor children for free labor

Another attack on the press, and an absolutely absurd one at that.

This is actually how I get around. People on the tube network particularly hate it.

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

As chair of the Senate committee that oversees FCC, Ted Cruz could do something more about this than talk about it on his podcast www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

Did you hear the one about the new left wing party with two members? They're released three statements

Remarkable how he can stand upright with no spine.

DISGUSTING

“When was Joe Biden president?” remains the most difficult question in politics

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Jokes aside, this is precisely why Reform and Silicon Valley are so deeply in cahoots. They intend to steamroll the public interest to give the billionaire techbros what they want - and what they want is everything.

can't really begin to explain the extent to which I do Not want to be filmed without my knowledge by someone wearing smart glasses while out and about

Two notable shifts in position by London’s political leaders last night. 1) Sadiq Khan, following pressure from the Green’s Zack Polanski, describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “genocide” for first time. 2) London Tory leader Susan Hall denying the Tommy Robinson march had a far-right element.

they got elon?!?!?!?!?!?! liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/392...

Also, water is wet

People should be pretty worried about this bullshit. Antifa is not actually a group and they absolutely know that. That means they are going to be able to stick the label on anyone they don't like and hit them with terror charges.

The free speech respecter country is at it again.

I’m really curious to see if comedians cancelled by the right will be radicalised in the opposite direction and end up in the Anarcho-syndicalist camp

One of my friends on Monday started retaining as a carpenter because animation/illustration roles have died off over the last year or so. It's tragic.

charlie kirk’s whole grift was convincing dumb old boomers with more money than sense that he had the ear of The Kids

I'm old enough to remember US libertarians condemning the UK for much less than what he is now proposing. It was six months ago!

The downside to inviting Trump in September rather than August is the White House pool reporters can put out vile slurs about our weather

"Lammy you look different, you had a hair cut or summat?"

"we all make mistakes"

Tough choice for Starmer to sack Mandelson, but we can all agree it was masterful of him to only do this after 48 solid hours saying he would not sack him because he really really likes and trusts the guy who supported the most famous paedophile the world has ever known.
