This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

The silence of the Westminster lobby as one of their own backs calls for me — an elected Member of Parliament — to be deported is telling. No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites. Our media class is rotten to the core.

"weirdo” “ridiculous” - these are the playground taunts when you have no political arguments left to make. And just like playground bullies, they come from a place of fear. Because they can see us organising and they don’t know how to respond. join.greenparty.org.uk

Some bits on the harsh reality of the ceasefire plan in Gaza, including some details that have not been perhaps as widely reported as they should ⬇️

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?

Milei looks like all the cast of Are You Being Served in one

"About 2,800 Palestinians from Gaza are detained in Israeli prisons and detention centres without charge, according to the NGO Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI)." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

The least surprising news ever. But also thank you to @robevansgdn.bsky.social & @direthoughts.com for shining a light on how two Silicon Valley lobbyists have joined forces to advance their billionaire-funded techno-accelerationist agenda into the heart of UK govt.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Just in case you are curious - and my God you should be - about the dude Wes Streeting and others are handing loads of public data contracts to. 👇

Kevin McKenna is on the glue 😵‍💫 I’d say that “there’s a feeling” amongst the vast majority of Scots, that the Orange Order are bigoted, sectarian, knuckle-dragging orcs 🍊 🦍 🇬🇧

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

The racists in the UK are not the ones attending pro-Palestine marches this weekend. The racists in the UK are the ones saying that you shouldn’t protest 53 Palestinians being murdered because two Jewish people were also murdered on the same day. Some of us can condemn both.

Yes sir we're chanting "Release the Earhart Files"

I have just submitted an FOI to the Home Office demanding FULL TRANSPARENCY on Palantir’s role in tomorrow’s “Brit Card” mandatory digital ID scheme 🚨 WHY THIS MATTERS: Palantir already has its surveillance tentacles deep in UK infrastructure with 24+ government contracts including: Thread

If you thought that the UK Government had actually begun to think coherently about constitutional identity and the sensitivity around national identity in Northern Ireland, the "Brit Card" should disabuse you of this notion...

Worth remembering this when you hear Reform talking about swans, autism and ‘science never being settled’.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

Selling this was only ever about limiting the ability to see Palestinians being murdered in real time. This has been laid bare, but it no longer matters, and they China will now transfer ownership to a series of purveyors of the American surveillance state, and war crimes will no longer be visible.

There has never been better conditions for a force to Labour's left. There has never been a bigger threat from fascism in Britain. If 'Your Party' implodes, that will be tragic - and unforgivable. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Please, for God's sake, put aside petty differences and practice some solidarity. We desperately need coherent and effective alternatives.

cannot believe how bad the Your Party launch and rollout has been. took a huge and deeply felt upsurge in british left wing politics and just pissed it up the wall

It’s just sick. I am beyond upset that our government allows this to continue without opposition. The situation in Gaza City is "nothing short of cataclysmic", a UN official has told the BBC, as Israeli tanks and troops continue to advance on the third day of a ground offensive.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

It is fascinating they found out the shooter was one of their own and decided to try to use it for a Reichstag fire anyway.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

👏👏👏

What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?

Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities

Genuine quote here from the British Prime Minister: "I always sit in front of the Union Jack. I’ve been doing it for years.” Does he mean when he's watching Eastenders, or having his tea? What kind of flag-shagging bollocks is this? Message to the outside world: Britain has lost its fucking mind

Sorry, but wtaf? This does absolutely nothing but ensure that even more people, including children, have to use irregular crossings, and blocks people who even this government have recognised are refugees from being with their families. This is utterly sickening from Labour. 1/

Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

In this story for our Refugees Are Welcome Here series, several refugees speak to us about coming from professional backgrounds but facing no right to work in the UK. We hear from dentists, teachers, academics who want to contribute - but legally can't. www.thenational.scot/politics/254...

Lucy Connolly called for hotels housing women and children to be set on fire. Out of European countries, UK ranks 13th for asylum claims/capita and 1st for proportion of news media owned by billionaires. Only one country has widespread protests outside asylum seeker accommodation.
