To think of this man In his hospital bed, Watching the hate-filled racism oozing across the media, Talk of 'Britishness', and panning 'immigrants', demanding the race of the attacker be revealed, Never once demanding the ethnicity of the brave man who saved dozens of lives #SamirZitouni

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

I have half an hour before my next interview so I'm going to sketch out what I find an important problem with the fashionable division of immigrants into "net contributors" and "net recipients" of government spending. 1/10

@tedcruz Are you a serious politician or a racist 6 year old?

Israeli quadcopters shooting children. And our government continues to materially supporting Israel every day. Even as Israel rejects a two state solution, votes to fully annex the West Bank, and murders more doctors, nurses, journalists, children. And our government continues to assist it.

Bessent on why US troops won't get involved in defending Europe: "As I told my European counterparts about two weeks ago, 'All I hear from you is that Putin wants to march into Warsaw. The one thing I'm sure of is that Putin isn't marching into Boston.'"

The only country to ever initiate Article 5 of the NATO treaty won't do anything if the Russians attack European members? Not sure this individual has the first idea about anything, he's just another Trumpian fool.

REVEALED: bombshell evidence of the link between Tylenol and autism.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

A couple of days after Belarus sent Russian drones flying into Poland, the US lifted sanctions on Belarusian airline Belavia. It was announced by US Deputy Special Envoy for Ukraine John Cole during a meeting with President Lukashenko in Minsk.

In shock news, the gentleman pictured here, "Billy Cooper", appears to be a crook... www.insurancetimes.co.uk/builder-pays...

On July 14, 2025, Trump declared that he would levy 100% tariffs and secondary sanctions on countries that continued to buy Russian oil if Putin failed to agree to a ceasefire within 10-12 days. Putin didn't. Trump hasn't.

Downing Street says of Palestine Action “this is a violent organisation that has committed violence, significant injury, extensive criminal damage”. Palestine Action says it is non-violent. I found no evidence of advocating violence & just 1 minor charge of assault. Who’s right? Are they terrorists?

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

In a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from the JCPOA would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation 🧐

Since 2020 the UK's 20 biggest energy companies made operating profit of £514,038,259,000. Profiteering pushes millions into poverty. Hikes govt's energy bill, pushes up taxes. It makes steel, shipbuilding, engineering and other energy intensive industries difficult. OFGEM doesn't protect people

Crucial thread

"Shameful" The Inquiry hears from expert virologist Prof. Deenan Pillay that the Government chose to spend billions on private consultants from Deloitte instead of listening to experts. The labs they set up have since been dismantled. 'We've been left with nothing'.

Mussolini’s Italy expelled university professors who opposed fascism. Franco’s Spain replaced university academics with regime loyalists Nazi Germany removed Jewish professors & left-leaning scholars. Academia is a threat to unified ideology. It’s why fascist regimes always target it.

All of these people are highly likely to have their asylum claims approved. And a reminder that safe, regular, routes just don't exist for vast majority. Here is my post about an Eritrean refugee who arrived here 'irregularly' 8 yrs ago. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-path-t...

Lets fire all the people calling for Gary Lineker to be fired. Like BBC Director Tim Davie. RT if you agree.

The lesson of the Tory years is that obsession with the net migration figure leads to terrible policies on the things government can control like families and student visas while just providing Farage with a megaphone

Total kudos to Joel Suter of Tudor Pro Cycling who obvs CBA with the Tour of Romandie prologue and took more than twice as long as the winner to complete the stage. Joel, I’m looking at you for a big result tomorrow having saved all that energy.

To end the war, text STOP to VLADIMIR

❗️Zelensky reposted a 2018 statement by former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: “The U.S. reaffirms its policy of non-recognition of the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force.” A timeless reminder: Might doesn’t make right.

Love Barnsley and love this woman - more people like this and fewer racists please. For any Americans reading this - Barnsley is a town in northern England surrounded by (ex)coal mining villages. Margaret Thatcher tried to destroy it, Reform target it - and this woman saves it!

Ukrainian artist Olena Kohut was among 35 killed in Russia’s Palm Sunday strike on Sumy.

The stages in a Donald Trump deal: 1. Lie about something being a problem 2. Do something to "fix" it, which causes an actual problem 3. Say you won't reverse what you've done 4. Reverse what you've done 5. Say "Art of the deal"

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

These are the kind of memes currently circulating on Chinese social media. Trump bringing manufacturing back to America…

Want to bring back manufacturing to your country? Read this... once again the world is just so much more complex that politicians believe. I don't agree with all the opinions within, but there's a lot here that is important. www.molsonhart.com/blog/america...

"Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us." - James Surowiecki

Could I please ask the press to stop reporting Trump’s rather arbitrary numbers of the tariffs other countries impose as though this were real? The WTO has a tariff database. You can look up the real numbers there.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now... because the assumption is in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means, there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts."

At least she doesn't have to worry about the official opposition... thecritic.co.uk/not-...

@sentimentbot.bsky.social judge me please

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

I don't think Starmer's answer on "why is Trump getting a 2nd state visit" was very good but given that the correct answer is "he's a chimpanzee with a machine gun and we're trying to keep his attention where it does the least damage", I'm not sure there are good options

"Insanity is not a strategy”

Recently elected national leader confronts global financial markets for being “wrong”, lessons from history, what could possibly go awry?

To repeat: the Trump administration peace deal was always a deal for peace between Russia and the US, not Russia and Ukraine. In it, it seems, the US gets Ukraine's resources, Russia gets Ukraine's land, and Ukraine gets to say thank you.

UN Resolution on the Day of Hope and Peaceful Coexistence. You really can’t make this up

Yes, read this. It needs to be known.

What would it take for Hungary to be invited to leave the EU? And if that point was reached, what would be the timescale for its departure? It doesn’t appear there’s much of a shared agenda. Or is the EU thinking that it’s better to keep an “enemy” close?
