"English Women don't care about their bodies and just walk around with their fat bellies and odd shapes pushing a pram at 16 in their PJ’s." Robert Kenyon - Reform candidate for Makerfield. Patriot. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

Dear, oh dear. Way worse than I thought it might be - especially when it comes to women. Icky.

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

They tried to make this man an MP while he's being paid €10k a month by Hungary.

"In some areas, First Past the Post could mean MPs getting elected on as little as 25% or 30% of the vote. That is not sustainable for British politics, and it is time for Proportional Representation." 💯💯💯 @richardfoordld.bsky.social

We're excited for @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social conference next week. We're running 8 standalone sessions + 2 joint sessions with the Political Economy Perspectives Group. 📅 Full programme: www.psa.ac.uk/conference/p.... ✉️ We've just e-mailed members with details of our sessions, social and AGM.

I’m committed to checking the output of GBNews, that it complies with OFCOM guidelines. Financing this TV station might amount to covert donations to Reform UK – without restrictions otherwise imposed on political parties. app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/153028...

In England a driver can be speeding, using cannabis and a phone, overtake another vehicle, mount the pavement outside a school playground and kill a 4-year-old girl while uninsured — and receive just 3 years 10 months for causing death by careless driving. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

Yes Reform. It's absolutely fine that utility and grocery bills have skyrocketed in recent years but most of us haven't had a pay rise in that time. We can all make up that huge gap. We are just exaggerating. Or maybe you think we can't do maths so we will take your word for it?

while he complains about people on benefits, his company INEOS is literally a beneficiary of corporate benefits. some mornings, I think capitalists deserve a revolution.

The untold story that is told constantly and isn’t really true

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Matt Goodwin? The columnist for the magazine available only in departure lounges for private jets?

"Give us all your data or we'll kill more of your people" All the racist repression is all a cover to create and protect their authoritarian mafia state.

"One child bleeding from an eye injury wasn’t seen by medical staff for two days. Another child’s foot was broken when a member of the staff dropped a volleyball net pole." They were fed meals "that were moldy and had worms" and then refused to treat food poisoning. apnews.com/article/immi...

DHS Sec Kristi Noem said Pretti attacked officers, & CPB Commander Bovino said Alex wanted to do “maximum damage & massacre law enforcement.” In posts on X, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called Pretti "a would-be assassin.” You saw what you saw. They're lying to you.

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If this same clip was in the UK, the whole US conservative political-media complex would freak out and saying it's proof that Britain is worse than North Korea, a society of woke censorship and fear that needs to be torn down. Podcasts would cover it for weeks. Vance would do a long sarcastic tweet.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

The DG of the BBC said this week that it remains on X because it has to reach a worldwide audience. 40m followers.... 40k views and 92 likes. A local Facebook group has more reach.

"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."

Only thing missing is Polanski nefariously rubbing his hands together.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

They're all scared of Zack, it's great 👇🏻

If it were steel works we would have a government bailout plan, yet losing thousands of jobs at unis is met with a shrug. & unlike steelworks universities were profitable when they had foreign students. You are killing the golden goose… one of our best exports… HOW IS THIS HELPING GROWTH?!

The Telegraph has just published *yet another* correction to one of its net-zero articles. By my count, that is now the TWELFTH such correction since Labour won the election (and covers 15 separate articles). I have now added the latest one to my epic thread which is tracking these corrections...

These are the living conditions ICE/border patrol provides for the children they kidnap. Does this look pro-Life to you?

Two of the top bosses of the BBC resigned this week, after allegations in a dossier claimed Panorama had altered a Trump quote. One problem: that dossier altered the Trump quote, too www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-e...

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

So many issues Today programme could have asked Charlie Mayfield about on his new report. Very odd to pursue a line of enquiry about whether the UK statutory sick pay is too generous (we have one of the least generous systems in the OECD).

This!

This struck me as one of the best instances I've seen of a Dem politician—in this case, @joeneguse.bsky.social—taking a badly-framed press question & both *calling it out* as a badly-framed question & answering it with passion & smarts. bsky.app/profile/cory...

Is climate stability enough to drive change or do we need social movement to spark action? A new book from @matpaterson.bsky.social and Paul Tobin @manchester.ac.uk explores how politicisation and protest might be key to real climate progress. 📚🌍 Read more: www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/a...

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

"The incremental U.S. fossil-fuel profits in 2022 relative to 2021 were enough to increase the disposable income of the wealthiest Americans by several percent and compensate a substantial part of their purchasing power loss from inflation that year, thereby exacerbating inflation inequality. "

Thrilled to see new book from buddy @stacydvandeveer.bsky.social available in full for free online from Cambridge UP. Paul Tobin, Matt Paterson & Stacy have assembled a diverse set of contributors/cases to examine Stability & Politicization in Climate Governance www.cambridge.org/core/books/s...

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Please help combat BBC news blackout of Green Party! @zackpolanski.bsky.social was the only party leader not interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their party conference. So please RT his cracking conference speech..

I am genuinely baffled and distressed as to why the UK government is intent on destroying UK's genuinely world-leading universities, who bring £265 billion into the economy and support more than 250,000 jobs. This tax will kill us. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Yet more embarrassment for the Times, which has printed a ludicrous – and almost certainly false – line about windfarms being “dismantled” near Trump’s Scottish golf course But why pick up the phone, as I did, when you can print nudge-nudge rumours instead? 1/
