Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

"I'm here to talk about what others won’t. To tell the truth about what makes our country great and what makes it not so great. While others thrive on creating scapegoats, I am here to tell you a different story." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ed Miliband has vowed to "ban fracking" for good, as he drew yet another dividing line with Reform during his speech at the Labour Party conference news.sky.com/story/labour...

Energy Secretary Ed Milliband brands Nigel Farage and his allies as: 'Investment-crushing, job-destroying, bill-raising, poverty-driving, science-denying, Putin-appeasing, young people betraying, bunch of ideological extremists’

Watching Panorama’s exposé of racist, misogynistic, lying & violent police officers in London, I’m really hoping that all the Farage fans in my industry will manage to condemn it without qualification. We’ll see…

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

Wow! Now over 37,000 signatures! 🙏 For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. It's time to hold them to account. You can support the campaign to change the law here👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

Starmer's speech was merciless. It's time to make racists feel afraid again inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Well now - that's what we like to see! ❤️🇬🇧🇪🇺

Billy Bragg on fire

A British newspaper (The Mirror) reacts to Trump’s speech.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social You didn’t tell Rory how patronising he was! Shame on you

How can the 'elites' solve #inequality if even the 'good guys' are blind to it? Not through malice, but because their privilege is a pair of blinkers. They live in a parallel universe. See that #bias exposed in real-time. #TheRestIsPolitics #WealthTax #GaryStevenson #BarryFerns #RoryStewart

Incredible. America’s version of democracy, bloated and made toxic by vast amounts of money- has inflicted this bloated and toxic ego on the whole world. It’s a plague on humanity wrapped in a blizzard of deceit, hypocrisy and utterly incessant BS. buff.ly/6MFMv8J

Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan responds, "President Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic and he is Islamophobic" "Since records began there hasn't been a period where more Americans have come to London, there has to be a reason for that"

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere. Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity (Letter,Times)

MSM may have swept Farage’s dodgy property dealings under the carpet but it doesn’t mean we can’t keep the story alive.. So do please repost because Nige deserves it 😁👍🏼 Anytime you want to join in @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social etc do feel free.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

"You have to stand up to bullies and you have to tell them straight, ‘you are stupid.'" Former Irish president Mary Robinson tells Matt Frei that Donald Trump's comments about climate change are "incredibly reckless". Read and watch here:

Ed Davey, "Who was it who campaigned to rip up 27 return agreements, where, in the EU, the UK could legally and fairly return asylum seekers who had no right to be here" "Yes it was Boris Johnson and the Conservatives, but it was also Nigel Farage"

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor. What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

George Monbiot, "By inviting President Trump for a state visit, Labour dishonour us and they dishonour themselves. They are rolling out the red carpet for Farage"

We hear all the time on BBC about Reform’s swelling membership, what Farage had for breakfast etc But 1,400 people sign up to Green Party in 24 hours increasing party membership by 10% and not a dickie bird❗️😡 @libdems.org.uk & @greenparty.org.uk need to put more pressure on BBC re biased reporting

The Dutch rip the hell out of Donald Trump and Disney for the ridiculous Jimmy Kimmel firing. This is what you call Free Speech, Trump.

Happy 4th anniversary to the time this happened on Twitter.

📌Yes I wrote this piece, but I swear to God, you need to read it. Do not let the press gaslight you. Charlie Kirk was NOT a good person. Did he deserve to die? Of course not. Did he say this? "I think it’s worth it to have, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year." Yes. And this:

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are now all considering boycotting Eurovision unless Israel are removed. Like if they should. RT if Israel should be kicked out

"Simple common sense" - Forcing raped children to keep resulting babies - Choosing regular mass murders over gun control - Claiming homosexuality is the same as drug addiction - Saying it's patriotic to attack your opponents with hammers - claiming the UK operates the Great Replacement Theory

Bravo @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk hold BBC to account for using licence fees to run Reform propaganda and depict Farage as a mighty political force.. When he’s really just a #PlasticMP with no viable policies just a mouth that won’t stop bloody flapping We’re all sick of it❗️😡

We have struggled to explain the Starmer government. But I think the explanation comes down to two simple forces: 1. A visceral, obsessive hatred of the Labour left. Any progressive policy, however necessary and popular, looks to the inner circle like a dangerous concession to the left. 🧵1/2

This 👇

“The UK government must unequivocally condemn these strikes and urgently suspend all military cooperation with, and arms sales to, Israel." @elliechowns.bsky.social reacts to Israel's bombing of Qatar and ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Is it time Nigel Farage was banned from the BBC? Like if it is. RT if it should be today.

No wonder he hasn't commented on the Angela Rayner story...

The fragility of Fascism. All challenges must be obliterated.

SIGN OUR LETTER: amn.st/6180fIeA8 Hundreds arrested in Parliament Square on Saturday for peaceful protest against ban of Palestine Action. When UK Govt is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right

Amnesty -- “When the Government is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong here in the UK". www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

BREAKING: Emily Thornberry has confirmed she is running for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party

Zack Polanski, "Let's subsidise good behaviour, rather than subsidising fossil fuel companies, oil and gas" "There's no coincidence that this Labour government took £4.1 million from a hedge fund that have assets in oil and gas, arms and gambling"

This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just arrived, my first reform party conference, well…..almost, I’m not allowed in….:)

Tax aside, this is objectively a very sad end to Rayner’s political career: a teenage single mum from a deprived family who went onto be deputy prime minister. The right wing press detested her for not knowing her place. Their glee at her downfall will be palpable in tomorrow’s front pages.
