So what's new? Britain has been continually "colonized by immigrants" for millenia: Romans, Danes, Normans, Huguenots. Even the generic term "Anglo-Saxon" identifies two sets of colonizers. Conversely, the Brits themselves have colonized elsewhere: N America, Africa, Asia and Australia.

The same people who tell us “oh, dear boy, you don’t understand” when reassuring us about Palantir embedding itself in the British state were almost exactly the same people who told us Russian interference, Cambridge Analytica and phone hacking were just ‘conspiracy theories’

Sign this please. It’s a start to the pushback we need. petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

💥 GOOD. Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition… …after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir… …while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts… Stinks.

Starmer should have stuck with Gray. The post-election mishaps have continued long after she'd gone, which suggests she wasn't the problem.

Oh good. Labour are putting in place the apparatus of repressive state control, just in time to hand the keys over to Reform. What could possibly go wrong?

ICE have fired on people more than a dozen times now and killed at least 5 individuals. Trump‘s regime is at war with its own people and there’s a word for that.

I trust my less-than-beloved government will tell him to fuck off? It would redeem them a little in my eyes.

They shouldn't have warned him. Let him come, then do it. Other countries with courage, take note

If you watch anything today, please let it be this. Can you even imagine doing this? Can you even imagine having to sift through rubble to collect the bones of your wife and children? If you are in favour of this genocide, you are evil, you are not human, you deserve to live out your days in hell

How can this not be flying today? Your help to get it signed would be appreciated. MPs and Councillors changing parties after being elected is NOT democracy. They may(or may not!) have changed their minds but their electorate may not🤬 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Just posting this again for no reason: 🏅

This is worth a read. Former US security services,l pays out some of the major issues facing Trump's US if they invade Greenland. Europe and the rest of NATO are not powerless against a bullying rogue US, far ftom it. You have to wonder why it's taken an American to point this out. #r4today

"Indonesia blocks Musk’s Grok chatbot due to risk of pornographic content" It can be done, will Labour follow?

Absolutely brilliant. 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

The US has had a military base on Greenland since 1951. It currently has around 200 personnel, but once had 10,000. A bilateral agreement with Denmark allows the US to bring as many troops as it wants to Greenland. It’s not about security, it’s about oil and minerals IMHO.

Silence emboldens him. Why would our leadershit in Europe offer silence, tacit permission in the face of his crazy?

Good morning. 💔

Donald Trump "Denmark only owns Greenland because a boat arrived there 500 years ago." Does this stupid POS know the USA's history?

Statement by the Quincy institute on the Venezuela military action. Let’s say they are not happy. quincyinst.org/2026/01/04/q...

Really uncomfortable with this This firm is simply not trustworthy imo. Once in the door they make it very very difficult for you to leave and use someone else

My personal view is that it all went wrong for Starmer when he couldn't bring himself to say that cutting off power and water to Gaza wasn't OK. He lost his credibility as a humanitarian and a human rights lawyer. He knew the answer. He couldn't say so. That was his moment.

The U.K. government should have been preparing for a rogue U.S. from day one. They should have known how to respond to this kind of thing with speed and decisiveness.

Former US Ambassador to #Denmark has this message (posted on 🧵): #Greenland

And will he do that? Closer is of course meaningless without clarity as to what that means.

All it takes for evil to thrive is for mediocre world leaders to say “I’d rather not say”

The US Doesn't Have a Line bsky.app/profile/alja...

Cathy-thanks!

Trump broke his constitutional duty to inform Congress. The UN special rapporteur is calling for Trump to be investigated. Trump promised to make a statement to the nation, and didn't. There's no proof Maduro is even alive. And Starmer can't find the words "I condemn this"

The U.S. appears ready to reassess its tactics in carrying out Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza. The news vindicates the strategy Palestinians have used during the ceasefire to avoid the surrender Israel has demanded in exchange for ending the genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/pale...

In the late 1990s Tony Blair’s MoD went to the trouble of dispatching the SAS to Bosnia to capture suspected war criminals. They were accused of lesser abuses than Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. With them, the MoD has continued military cooperation. www.declassifieduk.org/good-and-bad...

The French police have been tear gassing migrants in Calais for at least ten years. Glad someone is highlighting this

Why Is the Government Really Refusing to Investigate Russian Interference in Brexit? bylinetimes.com/2025/12/19/r...

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

War criminals every last one of them ...

The hypocrisy of supporters of Israeli apartheid pretending to hero worship the leader against South Africn apartheid '... he has written to Keir Starmer and ‘justice’ secretary David Lammy to tell them that Mandela, whom they both claim as their hero, would be “shocked and outraged” by them'

absolutely *incredible* update to the home office destroying jovi's naturalisation certificate, apologising, and telling us they'd send a replacement for free. it turned up in a "do not bend", hard backed envelope today...and it's for a romanian lady living in another city(!) my work is never done

Morning all. Allow me to show you the perfect burn 🔥

Just got back from HMP Bronzefield. Most importantly: Qesser Zuhrah was transferred to hospital via the ambulance she’d been demanding since 5pm yesterday. David Lammy, Keir Starmer — you are on the brink of causing the deaths of multiple young Palestine hunger strikers.

Disgraceful treatment by government. IANAL but surely this breaches a number of human rights protected by law?

To all the people in the US who follow me (which I know is everywhere now outside of Montana, Kentucky, Mississippi, West Virginia, Michigan and Vermont for some reason), can you please do us in the UK a solid? Tell Orange Grampa to wind his neck in - he’s becoming very problematic. Ta! 🐻

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!
