🇬🇧🇺🇸 The UK and US are failing to manage 'flu risks. 🇯🇵 Japan has declared a 'flu epidemic. People asked to: 😷Mask when appropriate 🧼Wash hands 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧Avoid crowded places 🏫Some schools have even closed temporarily 1/

The BBC’s week from hell might look like accountability - but there is more than a whiff of orchestration about it all. When the Telegraph cheers and Trump claps, you have to ask yourself: Who, exactly, benefits when the Beeb bleeds?

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

A good day to listen to our proud, joyous history of the BBC: One of the greatest British inventions of the 20th Century. An institution which, even at its worst, is far better than its detractors podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

If the BBC caves to Trump and hands over licence fee payers' cash to him, it will lose far more from non-renewals by licence fee payers than it would ever risk having to pay to Trump in court

Hahahahaha!

Mehdi Hasan, "Is rejoining the EU a Green Party aim" Zack Polanski, "Yes it is" And just like that, the Green Party have leapfrogged the LibDems

I notice all those brave journalists, Guido alumni, and Tory hacks, who manufactured a scandal - a dangerous one to national security, at that - out of gossip, supposition, and sticky tape, have gone ALL QUIET now the witness statements have been released and are exactly as the PM detailed at PMQs.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Yes! How anyone can even consider him is beyond me. What has he done to facilitate peace in his own country? He couldn’t care less about peace, unless he benefits. news.sky.com/story/nobel-...

We need immigration! The negative, racist rhetoric is going to cost us dearly. Multiculturism has enriched this country and I feel all the better for it. When will we wake up to this?

Opinion | The Labour Government has unveiled a plan to make migrants prove their social worth before they are allowed to settle permanently in Britain. I wonder if it would be an idea for us all to subject ourselves to similar scrutiny 🖋 Simon Kelner Read more: trib.al/vxU1w9r

Preliminary results from the Moldovan electoral commission show the Russian stooges having done poorly. If these results continue, this is incredibly good news. pv.cec.md/preliminare

Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nigel Farage is pushing Trump’s dangerous anti-science agenda in the UK. It’s irresponsible and wrong.

🧵While you fight each other, billionaires dismantle protections, #healthcare, education, human rights. The first task is survival: break their grip with #WealthTax and #Limitarianism. #EndOligarchy. Only then will your vote—whatever your stance—truly shape your nation’s future, instead of serving

Nathan Gill, ReFuk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Ex-Leader & ex MEP agreed to make specific statements to the EU Parl on at least 8 occasions as tasked by Oleg Voloshyn, a pro-Kremlin 🇷🇺 Ukrainian, in return for money, the court was told. In other words he was a Russia fluffer in return for money. Who does that remind you of?

Nothing she said was wrong. She’s smart; not anxious. I’ve spent a year resting & recovering from Long Covid. It’s not a joke. I’m through the other side as best I can b but my body can’t afford more of the same. If only we had #cleanair & sensible PH info🤷🏻‍♀️ bsky.app/profile/durh...

Not a word of this on BBC 10 O'clock news. Why so shy BBC? We're usually bombarded with Farage et al on BBC. Doesn't fit their narrative. We're being spoon fed and conditioned for a fascist govt by UK Media.

Today I spoke to @bbclondon.bsky.social. Absolutely disgusted at yet another Trump attack on Sadiq Khan and his racist conspiracy theories to divide us. London stands for diversity, inclusion & equality - everything great about Britain.

@wesstreeting.bsky.social we need to act now to protect the independence and validity of the JVCI. It must not be vulnerable to manipulation in the future.

Tooting MP - also my MP - Dr Rosena Allin-Khan: “The US Ambassador should be summoned and challenged over Trump’s rampant Islamophobia. “Trump continually spreads lies. In London, we celebrate our diversity and reject racists and bigots. London is the greatest city in the world…”

We just learned a very important lesson today that America's religion is capitalism. Corporations love the color green, which trumps even the color white. It's about money and the bottom line. Disney responded to the pressure and boycott and that's why they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel.

Never before has a fascist party driven by hate and calling for mass deportation had a chance of power in this country. Dark times lie ahead, remember to take care of each other, minorities and those who are most vulnerable.

Their daughter, Gladys, later married a descendant of French Huguenots called Harry Farage... and Gladys and Harry are the grandparents of this man. Maybe someone should ask him who of his ancestors he'd have liked to deport. 3/3

Nikolaus died aged 45. But his and Bina's only son, Carl, the son of these immigrants who had arrived in the "German wave" of the 1850s showed demonstrated how migrants can assimilate. Changing his name to Charles he got a job with the Post Office and married an English girl, Ellen Abbott. 2/3

In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty. Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3

It would signal the the de facto end of nearly all immigration to this country, from those coming to work to those who come for love. It would crater our economy, tear up relationships, remove status from millions of European, result in endless legal battles and leave us as an international pariah.

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

Read this short🧵and repost. George speaks the truth and we ignore it at our peril.

There is no obvious limit to how far Trump is prepared to go. He wants everything. He wants everyone to swear undying loyalty to him. He is prepared to do anything to get it. “Anything” might currently seem unimaginable to us. It's time we started imagining it. 4/4

Hitler continually tested the boundaries, seeing what he could get away with in terms of rhetoric, power grabs and assaults on other people. As Establishment resistance folded, he found he could get away with more and more. Trump is on the same path. 3/4

These people are dangerous. This is not normal.
