Labour must finally stand up firmly against a Reform policy. Call it out for the obscenity it is. Starmer has recently finally spoken out against populism and division. What could be more populist and divisive than this? Nor for heaven's sake, don't dodge it, or excuse it. Challenge it.

@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of B4B: “Reform’s Trump-style plan to deport thousands of people from the UK who have the legal right to be here, and who even may have been here for decades, would not only be economically devastating but unconscionably cruel.” 🚨 https://bit.ly/4mquyIo

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

I have defended the BBC again and again. No more.

Poland's statement to Russia at the UN. "If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or 'by mistake', and gets shot down, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned." ~AA

Podyssey Season 2 @alexpodyssey.bsky.social is now very close to reality - threshold is being able to pay production costs and expert contributors for 10 episodes (season will be 20 episodes, but will pick up numbers/support as it goes). Please, become a monthly supporter. www.ko-fi.com/podyssey

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Kimmel back after Disney lose a tonne of money

You are held in a queue and will be answered shortly Press 1 to be held in an endless cycle of pain and misery Press 2 to be held in an endless cycle of pain and misery Actually any number. Welcome to the Rupture

I think this about covers it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

US ends reporting on health, food security, fires the job stats person for giving bad news and Trump says criticism of him should be illegal. Welcome to America (USA you are so screwed)

A lot of pretty funny very depressing stuff here youtu.be/F1MA-YqjOxw

I was thinking about WWII and one of the good things to come out of be it was the increased self determination of women. It wasn’t perfect, my grandfather told my mum there was “no point in educating women”. But that Kirk & the GOP wish to marginalise 50% of the workforce is economic madness.

Good morning from the very wise cat.

I realise there’s bistromathics and the improbability drive but why has no-one investigated and utilised the unstoppable force that means as soon as you state “dinner is ready” everyone immediately fucks off? We could put “dinners ready” fields around Kyiv and nothing would get through

A central cause of UK economic stagnation is chronic high skilled labour shortages. If the UK stops allowing migrants to bring dependents, as Farage has announced, migrants will simply choose other countries that do, and the problem will worsen. Reform UK's nativism will economically cripple us.

Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works." Entirely untrue. Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

False: How disappointing.

"Brexit will allow the Parliament more legal autonomy to legislate and regulate independently at the cost of making Britain measurably poorer" would have been a much more accurate and honest framing of the choice facing voters.

Oh, I see...

😳

People are comparing the US right wings response to Kirk’s murder to the Nazi response to the murder of Horst Wessel. Is that wise? No idea. You decide forward.com/news/768607/...

Power crazed because Trump encourages excess

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

Clearly a lot of politics

An idiot’s* guide to trade deficits or why Trump is full of shit. (*for the avoidance of doubt I’m the idiot)

Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered for using his words to spread hate and bigotry and divide this country. In death he should not be sanctified for a life used to inspire people's worst demons to target the marginalized.

Publicize everyone who signs.

Melissa Hortman was murdered by a man who had been registered as a Republican and kept a hit list of dozens of Democratic lawmakers and abortion-rights advocates. MAGA influencers lying about it are no better than the few people on the left celebrating Kirk’s murder.

Curious facts: Idaho is the only U.S. state in which cannibalism is illegal. Burial on private land is often permissible. Texas, Tennessee and Memphis are the most renowned for their bbq’s.

Watching the strictly come dancing intro show with an underwater dance sequence. How do they do that? Maintaining neutral buoyancy would be so hard

There’s a simple answer. “Democrats won’t vote to fund this regime as is. It’s up to the republicans if they want to shut down the government. They’re in the majority.”

Trump: We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one. There was never a war between them. They’re 4,000 miles apart.

WSJ: The Trump administration is canceling the annual survey that tracks how many Americans struggle with food insecurity, data usually collected each December by the USDA. If you hide the numbers, the hunger disappears.

there is a point here i want to amplify. the free speech defenders of the mainstream seem to have no awareness that actual free speech is often more fractious and destabilizing than civil and respectful. a society where speech is genuinely free isn’t the deferential space they want it to be.

The road to authoritarianism is paved with cynicism

Sad www.lbc.co.uk/article/russ...

Slave level exploitation exists today 😳🤬 Charlie Kirk / MAGA thought black emancipation was a mistake

I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people. youtube.com/shorts/IpO0S...

In a future where authoritarianism has tightened its grip, we must recognize the insidious roots sprouting from the seeds of apathy planted in the present. Each moment we ignore the creeping shadow, we empower the very systems that threaten our freedoms.

What a cunt
