HOW CAN I TEACH CONSTITUTIONAL LAW UNDER THESE CONDITIONS FOLKS

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?

Great listen, diolch, pawb! Always had respect for @leannewood.bsky.social and her work with community projects to improve lives is inspiring!

"London lives rent free in their heads as it's living proof of how completely wrong their politics is - they 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 to lie about it!" As the far-right push a thinly veiled anti-immigrant narrative by branding London a "crime-ridden hellhole" - Jon and Lewis push back.

🧵 Reform UK’s “Lawless Britain” campaign isn’t about crime. It’s about manufacturing fear – and pointing the finger at migrants. The Bear lifts the lid on the fear factory.

Lots of cloud last night so a shocking night for astronomy. Managed to find a few gaps. The sky is wondrous.

I'm on Too Long; Didn't Read on Radio 4 in a couple minutes. It's very funny. Or at least it is until I bring the mood down horribly with some jaded political analysis.

I often wondered what the world would look like if the most ignorant, dangerous & daft opinions of radio phone-in hosts/callers were permitted to prevail. I never expected to find out…

Brexit can’t break every bond. 🌍🎶 Triorca Youth Orchestra are young musicians from Norwich and its twin cities in Novi Sad, Koblenz and now Rouen. Last month they turned twinning into music, friendship and a stunning Rouen cathedral concert. 🎻 Read the story ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

It's amazing what evidence based policy can do. The evidence that the 20mph limit is working fantastic from the point of view of saving lives and saving the taxpayer money in Wales is overwhelming. You can be annoyed about it. But you can't argue that it isn't doing what it was supposed to do.

“The best way to think about Congress Republicans is as a full-time propaganda outlet for Trump. What they mostly do in hearings is create smoke screens for him. The pretence of trying to legislate has been largely abandoned. They’ve ceded control of process and just create content for Fox News.”

Fascinating Radio 4 documentary by @willhaycardiff.bsky.social about Reform's rise in Wales ahead of next year's Senedd elections. An incisive look at what they've promised, why people are turning against Welsh Labour and what Farage's win could mean for the country. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Larva (n), an animal's juvenile form preceding metamorphosis, from Latin larva/larua meaning ghost, spirit, or mask. Linnaeus so named them bc larvae are so different from their adult forms and thus 'mask'/conceal them. So a butterfly is a caterpillar's dream, a caterpillar a butterfly's ghost 🐛👻🦋

I love that, among the usual former BNP, convicts, conmen, and Ukip loons involved, there is also an Elvis Impersonator. nation.cymru/news/notorio...

1 in 3 doctors were born overseas. 1 in 2 builders were born overseas. 1 in 6 nurses were born overseas. 1 in 4 transport workers were born overseas. 1 in 7 UK business founders were born overseas. 1 in 5 university academics were born overseas. The UK would be screwed without them.

AOC’s dress broke ethics rules. Trump’s crypto empire? Fine. Qatar gifted him a plane? Cool. Congress still trades stocks like it’s nothing? No problem. This system is a joke.

When even a 50 year long advocate of FPTP Tory changes their mind and backs PR, it really is time for Labour to listen to its members, the electorate and its opponents and come to Jesus on changing the system for General Elections conservativehome.com/2025/07/15/n...
