I assume if implemented these new powers to further restrict protests in the UK will also be used against those outside hotels...right? Right? It's just another erosion of the right to protest, and we keep seeing that right chipped away. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

How much money has Nigel Farage and Reform UK received from Russian Banks? Or are we not allowed to call him that?

The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours. It’s a one-stop-shop for logging thd lot. And the neta-analysis of what is happening is very enlightening… darkly. See TrumpActionTracker.info

The next general election is going to be unbearably awful isn’t it Just parties lining up to outdo each other in awfulness

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto. It's Brexit 2. And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

It tells you everything you need to know about British politics that the only people who have ever had to apologise for Nigel Farage's long history of racism are the people who dare to call it what it actually is www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

“To be honest, I think things are worse now than in 1979,” he says. “Clearly, there was a lot more racial violence then than there is now, but it’s coming back. What’s worse now is that the rhetoric of the extreme far right is not too dissimilar from the rhetoric across the political spectrum.”

I’m so glad those free speech absolutists are fighting back against cancel culture… Oh, wait

“Dishcloths”? Boris Johnson was always an arrant racist.

Tory-yawnathon update: Jenrick’s lot plots to oust Badenoch. Badenoch plans to scrap Climate Change Act and leave the ECHR. And it feels unbelievably tedious to even comment. This Tory party is over. Their brand is fucked. They reek of too much failure to be taken seriously. Plot away. No one cares.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

History repeats.

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are 🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally 🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face 🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose #r4today

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Signs of psychosis. No biggie

Brexit shitshow latest: “The poll adds to the mounting pile of evidence that….dogma about regulatory alignment has always been more of an elite obsession” People want lower bills and less hassle and don’t care about Farage’s ego or agreeing with EU rules. Who knew? www.politico.eu/article/uk-w...

We haven’t forgotten your silence on your Welsh Leader Nathan Gill admitting 8 bribery charges. We haven’t forgotten the racist and inept councillors you’ve lost. We haven’t forgotten your Britannia Card to help the rich. We haven’t forgotten DOGE being a con.

Calling Reform racist isn’t slander. It’s maths. 20 incidents. 18 months. 1 Farage in a permanent huff.

How humiliating

Rather remarkable that the Trump administration response to a government shutdown is "let's inflict as much pain as possible on as many Americans as possible"

People often claim it's a mistake to call far-right figures racist. But it's extremely telling how much they hate being called racist. Farage doesn't welcome it. He is afraid of it. And he has benefited from people's reticence about using it to describe his policies.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏 PM Keir Starmer

Reform’s Russia connections are a danger to our national security. It’s time for a public inquiry.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

That Farage reaction in full: "mY fEeLz aRe HuRt sO i DeMaNdZ aN eLeCtiOn" 😂😂😂 Who cares, you Putin-loving public-school grifting ponce? Just because the air is coming out of your tyres, doesn't mean you get to demand that the race start four years early. F-off back to Florida.

This signature?

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.
