We have official details on the planned digital ID scheme. * available to all UK citizens and legal residents * will in time make it simpler to apply for services like driving licences, childcare and welfare * no requirement for individuals to carry their ID or be asked to produce it 1/4

From Nige?

Ministers will only be able to invest money when the electorate gives them permission. Currently the public refuses to pay more, yet wants better services. Impossible.

This could escalate.... 😅

That it should come to this..... Under Trump the USA is no longer a reliable ally of the UK or Europe. And they've told Putin.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social have you seen this short video Labour put out last night about their successful delivery over the last week?

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Writing in the Guardian, @pollytoynbee.bsky.social calls out dangerous supremacism: “On the Robinson march in London, the great wooden crosses looked like armaments… The marchers’ “Christ is King” flags declared a radicalised ethno-supremacism.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How is it possible for Owen Jones to still understand so little about the essential nature of the Corbyn project?

Private Eye are spot on again.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

This is interesting.....

My statement formally recognising the State of Palestine.

Canada recognizes State of Palestine Carney offers help to build peaceful future with Israel. This is how real leaders, lead.

The UK has formally recognised Palestine as a state after Israel failed to meet conditions set by the Government, Keir Starmer has announced.

Congratulations to Chris Mason for being nominated for 'Political Journalist Of The Year' in the London Press Club Awards. He was nominated for his "fearless commitment to unbiased, objective reporting" by a Mr N Farage of Clacton.

The Roos Carr figures are dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age. They were inadvertently unearthed by laborers during ditch maintenance at Roos Carr in 1836. Approximately two meters beneath the surface, the workers discovered a collection of well-preserved...🧵1/3 📷 me #archaeology 🏺

“Rejoin the EU to solve UK’s economic woes and tackle small boats crisis, Kinnock tells Starmer…‘if we really want sustained economic growth, we have to be part of a body of the single market with our nearest neighbours’” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Exactly, they're all saying what Starmer is saying but only Starmer gets criticised.

Zack Polanski, like Ed Davey, says we should rejoin the EU…… When the conditions are right? So no then? And rejoiners have a pop at Starmer? Everyone knows it will be a gradual process as the right will never admit they were wrong, ditto the media.

Easy to say if your job or future career or family's well-being doesn't depend on deals done with the Trump regime. Millions of people, including me, regularly have to work with those they would rather not; it's a duty and responsibility. Why should politicians be exempt from that?

I’m really proud to be backed by these mayors, who are delivering day in, day out for the people they represent. As Deputy Leader, I’d speak up for every Labour Member, nation and region from my seat at Cabinet. labourlist.org/2025/09/chil...

Wheras, they should be reporting Corbynista takeover of the Green Party that mirrors that of Labour 10 years ago. It'll only end in tears....

Maria Ressa, "By design, social media platforms spread lies six times faster. If laced with fear, anger, hate, it goes viral. They change the way we vote" This is how they got Brexit over the line in 2016

A good day for Starmer: emerges unscathed from Trump press conference and YourParty is ravaged by factional chaos. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Blimey, lots of praise for Starmer from a whole host of sources, some quite unexpected. It’s good to see. And incredibly well deserved.

This brings a wry smile....... But seriously, after 14 years being fed the lie that public services can continue without paying for them, the current government remains a prisoner of national self-delusion. We're literally getting what we don't pay for.

Just been told Starmer is toast and is appeasing the right wing by some bloke on here. Raising the minumum wage, free breakfast clubs, additional free childcare hours, Employment Rights bill, renationalising rail, VAT on private school fees, end of Nom Dom status all apparently right wing policies.🤔

What on earth is King Charles thinking here? [Suggestions please!] I know there's criticism for King Charles and other Royals for hosting the Trump visit. But my take is that they are "taking one for Team GB" [as are the politicians involved].

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

This is what a Labour Goverment does! #Labour #KeirStarmer

"Britain will never surrender to far-right protesters who use the English flag as cover for violence and to instil fear". Good intervention by PM Starmer as he condemned attacks against police officers and the racist intimidation of minorities. 🌹 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Excellent piece by @iandunt.bsky.social . The hatred and threat of violence by these hard right political activists is not just "news"; it creates and spreads fear at a deeply personal level.

Not going to pretend today wasn't depressing but the far right has been stronger in the UK before. Mosley packed out Earls Court and was backed by several large newspapers. Enoch Powell had the support of 74% of the population. Musk has a net popularity rating of -52%

He’s right. They do not speak for Britain but the platform they are given by the media would have you believe that every white person in this country is a far right fvcking fascist. Well, I’m white and I’m none of the above. All of it disgusts me and makes me ashamed to be British and white. You?

Wonderful !
