About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

School book belonging to a 12-year-old. Village near Tolosa, Basque Country, 1966. "In school I must not speak Basque" 1,000 (one thousand) lines. Via @KikeAmonarriz. And a recent picture of the boy Lontxo Zubeldia via Naiz. Should be a museum exhibit on the realities of Francoism.

Repulsive that millionaire Farage who grifts his arse off on side gigs while taking a salary from the state for the MP job he fails to do, should target those who earn the least, threatening to lower NMW, scrap improvements to workers’ rights, enable discrimination and tear up the welfare safety net

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants. “And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills. www.euronews.com/2026/03/27/e...

I can highly recommend these walks if you like your history a little more realistic and from the roots up

As Imran Khan said to me, the west will never solve its “migrant crisis” until there is a fair distribution of the world’s wealth of which Britain has had much influence. Perhaps Mahmood and the govt should not be looking at paying £40,000 to return but help countries its looted from to develop?

Enough with the outrage theatre. If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill? You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record. #VoteGreen

“The truth is that Reform has no long-term answers for the structural, economic and geostrategic problems Britain faces. It has been, until now, held together by hate” It cannot fix the problems we face because it’s a symptom of those problems, not a cure. www.thenewworld.co.uk/paul-mason-w...

20 mph zones largely protect vulnerable people - scrap support for children and take 5p off a pint of beer. What next !

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time. He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here. It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This lot open their gobs and let the wind wobble their tongues about. And people say Starmer flip flops!

Reform UK announced a Scottish Leader who’s never been elected by anyone for anything and a new MP who won’t call a by-election. That’s Reform UK democracy.

Thanks to Brexit, we no longer have to put up with unelected bureaucrats. In other news, the new leader of Reform in Scotland is Lord Malcolm Offord, totally unelected in any capacity whatsoever and appointed as leader by me alone. Still, it's only Scotland.

Chasing the votes of those who'll never vote for you while simultaneously losing the votes of those who may is a rare gift.

Same threats here does it ever happen?

Are we going full Trump now - flashbacks to Theresa May’s vans

Responsible for the safety of hundreds of people every day. In charge of equipment worth £ms. Sounds about right.

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners." In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures. Maybe Beth is on a diet.

Respect and fair play to all the gifted teachers who, according to Nigel Farage, are poisoning our kid's minds with race issues. I had great difficulty teaching some of the little buggers about triangles.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Yesterday far right protestors tore up Palestinian flags, flags with Islamic scripture & gave speeches saying “that Islam is the real enemy, we have to get rid of Islam”. Yet nobody from govt is condemning this detail? Why not? Had it been about Christians or Jews what would have been the response?

Another legacy from Rayner. Workers Rights. Most of these will impact most workers. Thank you Angela Rayner 👏👏👏

This is what Angela Rayner’s Renters Rights will deliver. Ever wondered who wanted her gone? Or why? Luckily this law is still progressing.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Alternatives to recycling.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Farage had kittens last year over a few Labour activists campaigning for Harris - "we shouldn't interfere in politics in another country", yet here he is encouraging the US to interfere in our law making process. Sovereign parliament be damned.

Hey, Sky News! Hey, BBC! See how easy it is?

It’s odd that the Tory councils took no action against asylum hotels when their party was in power in Westminster but waited until there was a Labour government. #r4today

Let's hang Farage's "ICE-style enforcement" around his neck like a concrete albatross. Let's show people what that looks like. A majority does not want this.

And Farage wants to let people have hand guns !

Farage’s “probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.” And, unbelievably, this Labour govt finds itself trapped because it has refused to call this out. What a profound - and now dangerous - political failure. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The ever-eloquent @rafaelbehr.bsky.social pointedly refusing to mince his words on what Farage has done for us. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I presume those calling for ‘mass deportations’ and deals with the Taliban will be excusing themselves from poppy wearing and Remembrance Day events from now on…

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

A man who is a total grifter mocks the chancellor and then says his policy is properly costed because his mate, who is also a donor to his cause, is good at maths.

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

This latest spasm of racism, protests, flags, ‘legitimate concerns’, ‘political prisoner’ bullshit is the ugly hangover of a Brexit that failed to deliver the social change it promised because it was all a lie. Now, instead of facing up to that, we get more lies, more hatred. It can only ever fail.

Funny they don't seem so bothered by Jenrick's three homes (including a grade 1 listed manor) plus his forth home in his constituency rented at taxpayer expense. Wonder why.

Migrants can't answer back. They have no voice. So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue. In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess. That is what is really going on here.

Matt Vickers is a joke resorting to tropes & jibes lefty lawyers when talking about the complexity of immigration. He belongs in reform probably end up there if he things he will loose his seat. I am sick of people with a voice stirring the pot instead of looking at real solutions.

This is true. I live in Italy. The UK media has been whipped into a hysterical disinformation frenzy by Farage and this, in turn, has led half the population (polls are clear) to lose the plot. For anyone who lives abroad and follows British news, it is quite evident, striking and disturbing.

Kemi Badenoch talking about migrants coming to claim benefits - she knows you cannot make a claim without an NI number and leave to remain. They will receive just under £50 per week if they don’t get meals or £9.50 per week if they do. The truth matters.
