Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Mamdani: My message to I.C.E. Agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

Wherever Farage sets his foot, you find fraud.

Reform UK Council Grifter in Northumberland. Councillor Shaun Knowles turned up to a meeting yesterday for the first time in just under 6 months. This means he avoids disqualification by just a few days and keeps his councillor salary.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

This is not only exceptionally good work, it is also presented in a very clear visual way. Bravo, Sky News! news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Any word on helping Jamaica or Haiti or Dominican Republic?

The economy is in tatters and the gop government shutdown to cover up the Epstein files is in full swing but…. Have you checked out Trump’s new shit room? Your taxes paid for that.

This, from the leader of the opposition, seems like a pretty clear case of contempt of court to me

Not sure why this was kind of buried in the Guardian story Kent leader Kemkaran "failed to ensure that her register of interests listed the fact that her husband is the director of digital transformation at East Kent’s health authority" It's a criminal offence to knowingly omit relevant interests.

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Literally one of the greatest soft power brands on planet earth driven into the ground by successive British governments that embrace failure, decline and irrelevance. on.ft.com/3Wq1XIT

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment. #authoritarianism #DemocraticDecline #SteadyStateAssessment

Well done Susan and @ledbydonkeys.org Lining up Farage’s other sources of income which makes his £93k MP’s salary £1.1 million since he became an MP. Meanwhile Clacton isn’t feeling the benefit.

Trump's mismanagement of the American economy is starting to cost jobs ... #TrumpSlump

BBC’s Reform plc spokesman Mason now telling us the Home Office are falling apart - despite much of what they’re doing being significantly better than the corrupt mess they inherited from the Tories.

Lights are on but nobody is home. We have a broken Roomba for President.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

British.

"Another Reform MP has been accused of being in breach of Parliamentary rules, after its deputy leader Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality he received from Lubov Chernukhin – wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister" leftfootforward.org/2025/10/refo...

It starts small. Little motions toward tightening the information circle. The press has been turned into a monster in the public eye (especially by the right) so now every restriction feels justified. They’ve spent years convincing people that journalists are the enemy. More ⬇️

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Your occasional reminder that Mone can not be stripped of her peerage without an act of parliament. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Who would have thought Reform aren’t ready for government? All those councillors winning elections then resigning when they realise they have to actually work aren’t ready for government!!! The majority of Reform would fck you over good style,never let them.

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Ok. Who did this?😂😂😂

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

Rachel Reeves' admission of the "severe" economic damage of Brexit is welcome. Now it's time for the government to stop making it even worse bylinetimes.com/2025/10/15/k...

Here! THIS crosses the line for everybody. Your boss Mr T with his pedophile friends. bsky.app/profile/roma...

The not-so secret language of fascist fashion

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

The global network of the radical right is a threat to our democracy. 🚨 @libdemdaisy.bsky.social on Musk and Tommy Robinson: "It is outrageous that a man who has so much control over what people read online could be funding someone who stokes far right extremism on our streets."

Lib Dem deputy leader @libdemdaisy.bsky.social asked Keir Starmer whether he would commission the security services to "assess the threat that Elon Musk poses to our democracy" Her question at #PMQs comes after Tommy Robinson claimed Elon Musk was paying his legal costs

Why is Badenoch going on and on about the failure of this China trial. The PM has been clear he is going to publish what information he can and that it all happened under the last government....and that it will show her to be wrong. Yet she is still going and going. She's a disgrace!

Nigel Farage claimed that Warwickshire County Council had blocked Reform’s inquiries into their financial accounts. The truth? Reform never made any inquiries. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-politics/2025/10/nigel-farage-wasnt-telling-the-truth-on-laura-kuenssberg

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in court to testify in his corruption trial, days after US President Trump called for him to be pardoned. Protesters outside the court demanded the trial continue as a test of Israel’s democracy. Netanyahu denies all charges.

BREAKING NEWS In a move that has shocked absolutely no one with basic arithmetic skills, populist right wing party trying to win votes with fantasy economics traipses around in fetching hair shirt after all their policies are found to be economic fantasy.

When I see announcements like this, I have to ask - how many of the people out there who are so vehemently anti-migrant would actually pass English at an A-Level standard?

🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨 When power centralizes, resistance must decentralize. Apps can’t protect us, only people can. Build networks & community protection! Organize where you live, or they’ll organize how you live. ✊🏻
