It's going to end in tears. And the gravy train for Mcsweeney will stop. He reminds of Dominic Cummings, not that clever and too much self importance. Veering right and getting in bed with corrupt lobbyists is working out so well Labour, no-one likes them as they became Tories and chased Reform.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Key point on the EU-UK Reset talks: The UK has deliberately chosen not to build popular support for the "Reset". This means that its heart is not in it. The slightest wind blows this off-track. In that case, we as EU should accept that UK is not ready yet, end the Reset, and try again later.

Conservative Shadow Culture Secretary Nigel Huddleston tells GB News that the BBC should "grovel" to Trump. Amazing how many British 'patriots' are spending their time telling our national broadcaster to prostrate itself before a hostile foreign leader

I have no recent insight particularly, but that description of UKG chicanery and trying to leverage what had been agreed chimes loudly with earlier in the year. Keep an eye. Not saying 🇪🇺 will walk, but expect suspension unless the UK gets its house in order A 🧵

The Kremlin show their card I'm not sure the UK (England really) is able to fend off the far right / Kremlin threat. There are too many confused English.

Emily Maitlis is a horrible woman

1945 the British made sure that Germanys public broadcasting system would never be taken over by an authoritarian leader again by creating a complicated federal system. They didn’t see to that at home which has left the BBC vulnerable. This needs to change now.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right - Robbie Gibb shouldn't be anywhere near the BBC

I'm 50:50 on either... 1. The UK (England really) managing to beat fascism and the UK remaining intact 2. England going on a 10, 20 year fascist journey without Scotland & Northern Ireland The loss of the BBC probably tips the balance towards England going full fascist & Scotland leaving the UK.

What David doesn't tell you: Before the GE the Labour shadow cabinet were informed of the choices and tradeoffs by trade experts and David Lammy visited Brussels to understand. Choices were: 1. 🇪🇺 standards, single market, customs 2. 🇺🇸 trade agreement, youth deal, SPS, deregulation They chose 2

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

Kent town 'abandoned by Eurostar' struggles as locals claim it's 'killed' the area. Residents say the once lively market town is now a 'ghost station'. 59.4% of Ashford voters voted for Brexit. Now they're reaping the reward for ignoring the warnings. www.kentlive.news/news/propert...

Darren will be replaced by a Green MP at the next GE There is only so much bollocks One Nation Tories in Henleaze will put up with from this useless shyster and being social liberals and quite green anyway they will vote Green in Bristol NW

The EU makes many mistakes and should show far more flexibility towards North and West African states in trading relations. That is a separate matter from a UK government that talks a Europe-friendly game yet still manages to burn goodwill with partners in the EU over minor sums

If someone had told me a year ago, that this could happen in the UK I wouldn't have believed it. Now it's all happening very fast. Even if you consider Cummings as the 'career psychopath' he always was, this is a dangerous new level.

I don't say this lightly but Elon Musk and his platform X is not only a national security threat to our country, he is a threat to our democracy, to our institutions, to public order and to the wellbeing of British children. And the UK government should treat him as such.

The UK government EU reset in all its, er glory. 😂 Labour manifesto items of professional qualification recognition and band touring don't even make it on the list. A 'reset' without a commitment to european values and the rule of law is meaninless. Only security (SAFE) is viable

Germany’s new National Security Council has met for the first time last night. It’s topic was hybrid threats (👀 @sicherheitspod.de )

The destruction of empathy which is part of the so-called ‘War on Woke’ is a vital component that allows the radical right to rise. Swathes of a population must be numbed to the suffering that they want to inflict on minorities and society.

Scotland recognises that the only way to preserve these values is by reconciling with our European Neighbours. Why can't the rest of the UK do the same?

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

If you live in Islington, you should join the Green Party, we’ve got a talk on Friday about trans rights led by Crystal as opposed to accepting them in the party

Centrists love to focus on how corrupt farage is, which he is yes of course, but his base don’t care about that and don’t believe it, this worked for Trump and it’s working for farage too

The result of the next UK general election can go either way and is too difficult to call We will get a government consisting of mostly: Greens or Reform Mad as it seems this is the direction of travel. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is pretty much 100% certain. 😂 The funny thing is because Labour is so insular this government really do think they are doing well.

From a Kremlin perspective with the 2014 Ukraine invasion. Getting 🇬🇧 out of the EU was a priority Removing Euroclear from 🇬🇧 was a priority Euroclear holds the majority of frozen Russian assets of between €185 - €216 billion Funds to Ukraine from Euroclear are currently stuck.

Green councillors in Glasgow have secured a pilot scheme for free public transport! 🙌 In 2022 we delivered free bus travel for under 22s. It's reduced climate emissions and congestion, and increased mobility and the money in people's pockets.

Man in grey humiliates Matt Goodwin after his anti migrant rant #BBCQT "Do white British people not also commit these violent crimes? Is your narrative not that these crimes are only committed by asylum seekers and refugees"

Happy Halloween 🎃 hope you woke lefties have a good day continuing to terrify all the Reform voters.

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96 All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing. But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did: votes.parliament.uk/votes/common...

The first step of this would be the immediate protection of the rights of people within the UK who are so worried that they are seeking to leave. I know someone in this position who has lived in the UK since the 1980s and is very worried now. 😔

Mounting a resolute defence against the far right on immigration is necessary but not sufficient. We need aggressively pro-immigration voices - like this - in UK politics. Actively welcoming migrants is morally right and better for everyone. Make that case and put the bigots on the defensive.

Estonia was part of the USSR in the 1990s Since regaining independence, Estonia has.. Reduced its carbon footprint by 60% One of the most developed & digitalised economies in Europe A debt to GDP ratio of 23.5% The cleanest country in Europe UK debt to GDP ratio: 95.3% #ScottishIndependence

This reminds me of when I told Thangam Debbonaire if she wanted to keep her seat then she needed to join the Greens. She thought about it and said she couldn't do that because she was a socialist. You are toast and rightly so. I don't think there is anything you or Labour can do about it now.

This is pish. The Scottish people will choose our path. Not an English based party, tried that and it's failed dismally. The SNP aren't perfect but definitely an established socialist party.Scottish Greens too.Why take the risk on this lot? We're fed up being told

This is not sustainable you would think. Something has to change. Question is, SNP's stance in UDI, Westminster's stance on a referendum, or Scottish people's stance on the Union.

Fascinating that this is the issue that Mr Davey and the LDs have focussed on. A comprehensive CU would be a big achievement for the UK. But it is not like membership or even the single market. If the UK were to do this, it should ask to come under Europe's suite of trade deals

The joke among Plaid supporters at the count was that long before the declaration Mr Farage was halfway down the M4 on his way back to London. news.sky.com/story/caerph...

Stunning result. Well done Plaid. This shows the UK doesn't need Labour to beat Reform.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Greens or Plaid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Greens or SNP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Greens or LibDems Nobody using a Ukrainian flag in their banner should be supporting Labour who are preventing Ukrainian refugees from applying for citizenship. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Pleased to be part of this hugely significant legal challenge. The Boris Johnson Govt first suppressed the Russia report & then refused to act on it. As evidence mounts of Putin’s hybrid warfare, it’s vital that we can be confident in the robustness of our democratic systems

Meaningless nonsense.. There will be no change until there is *actual* change. Without a willingness to: Follow the rule of law Follow citizens rights Follow 'British values' Follow European values and to commit to european institutions Follow the ECHR There will be no change and only words.

Labour policies are currently: Culture wars Managed decline Deporting our neighbours Screwing small businesses The Conservatives (when they were functional and not crazy) used to find Labour views on polling hilarious and nothing much has changed. Labour are fecked in London and rightly so.

Very well done Greens It will be funny to watch the Greens overtake Labour because Labour will be unable to do anything about it apart from panic. 😂

"We do not want to help make Brexit work" German official Exactly! The Brits want access to the Single Market without being members and without contributing to it. So there we go Keir Starmer put your 'make Brexit work' where the sun doesn't shine.

The problem with this "Make Brexit work" LibDem effort is the LibDems don't like foreigners enough to support FoM. So, they can highlight a few things but anything like touring for musicians is impossible. 🤷‍♂️ The Greens are better because they support FoM.

Nothing new in this. Labour together knew before the general election that Labour supporters were 49% authoritarian left and 51% liberal left. They chose policies / messaging for the 49% authoritarian left and are now stuck with no viable exit strategy within a social / economic doom loop. 🙄

Unsettled status as @alexmaclaren.bsky.social points out in the thread below. Absolutely repulsive ReFuk comments and as a Brit migrant in the EU, also worrying for us. Let's concentrate on EU citz in the UK and show them support. Solidarity with @inlimbobrexit.bsky.social @elenainlimbo.bsky.social
