Excellent piece by Gordon Brown on how to defeat Faragism Come on @teamlabouruk.bsky.social time to step up www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A Matt cartoon - always brilliant.

Great news that the #Nobel peace prize has been awarded to a woman of courage. #Machado is a real inspiration in a very troubles world www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Heseltine once again showing that there is one decent Tory #Climateemergency

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

First, I want to emphasise that I completely disagree with this policy. The reason refugees have different rights in the immigration system is not because being a refugee is a “golden ticket” ffs, but because their experience of arriving is fraught with danger www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Jane Goodall dies, the Pope condemns climate deniers, and Kemi Badenoch decides today is a good day to say she’d scrap the Climate Change Act. Economically bonkers, morally bankrupt, out of step with public opinion www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

36 years after Hillsborough, 9 years after we learned the truth and still the lies of the state are spouted to the harm of many. Very proud to see Marco standing up for #JFT97 and proving #YNWA www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Prime Minister just announced plans to change how the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is interpreted by judges ⚠️ A dangerous move that risks weakening everyone's human rights in the UK So here's a reminder:

The Metropolitan police are braced for a Panorama documentary airing on Wednesday showing officers and staff allegedly being supportive of the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, making anti-Muslim comments and using excessive force against suspects in custody www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Labour Party are bought and paid for. Lobbying, cash for access, vested interests. This is who they are. It doesn't have to be this way.

Genuinely hope-filled first day of #Lab25 conference, with the @chrleft.bsky.social church service, Catholics for Labour mass at the cathedral, hearing @albomp.bsky.social speak, and a panel on faith in development with amazing partners. More of this please!

Miliband says it's 'possible' government should come off Elon Musk's X social media platform DO IT www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Not sure day one of the latest ID card rollout went very well at all, not least because the government couldn’t answer the absolute core question about why they’re being introduced. The case is that digital ID will be required for anyone to get work. The problem is ID is already mandatory. 🧵

When Reform's Nathan Gill is sentenced for bribery, he will be the third of Nigel Farage's former MEPs to be jailed for being corrupt, after Tom Wise (expenses fraud) and Ashley Mote (falsely claiming benefits). What is it about Farage that attracts crooks?

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Our investigation uncovered that an elected MEP was taking payments to peddle narratives beneficial to Russian interests... This case goes to the heart of our democratic values.” — head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, Commander Dominic Murphy

Extraordinary that this is not front and centre on @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social this morning Ex-Reform politician admits Russia-linked bribery charges www.bbc.com/news/article...

Utterly depressing news from @teamlabouruk.bsky.social You would have hoped that the Labour Party would have recognised the need to level things up in the north. Perhaps @andyburnham.bsky.social needs to send a copy of #HeadNorth to the PM. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brilliant analysis of #Hillsborough law. If you want to know why it is critical to hold the state to account… 👇🏼 “The truth has been hidden”

Do you trust that the new Hillsborough Law can stop public officials from lying to the public? See our new video on the Hillsborough Law in Parliament and follow for real-time updates: youtube.com/watch?v=MCoS... #HillsboroughLaw #CentreForPeoplesJustice #CFPJ

The Labour govt are planning to introduce digital ID cards 🪪 This raises huge concerns about human rights, digital exclusion, and mass surveillance by the government 👇 www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/digita...

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Legend! #KJT www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

Wait a minute, where is Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage to defend our free speech?

Protesters in Britain projected images of President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle on Tuesday night before the president arrived for a state visit. More protests are planned for Wednesday. Follow live updates on Trump's state visit: nyti.ms/3VTtyBH

It was one of the biggest honours of my career to be inside Downing Street and Parliament today to watch as the Hillsborough families made history My write-up from an important and emotional day 👇

Statement from the Hillsborough Law Now campaugn regarding the news that the Hillsborough Law will be introduced to Parliament on Tuesday 16 September.

Tomorrow’s front page of the @liverpoolecho.co.uk on a momentous day

What great news that #HillsboroughLaw comes before Parliament today. So much credit is due to those who have fought for justice since 1989. I was brought up in Anfield. This fitting tribute to campaigner Ann Williams is at the top of my old road

Trump is coming to the UK to AVOID the EPSTEIN story. Unfortunately the British public just crowdfunded the WORLD’S BIGGEST PHOTO of Donald with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. And here is right outside Windsor Castle, where Trump is staying with the King this week.

News! At 4.30pm today, MPs will debate the Save Our Children's Rights petition calling on the Government to retain the legal right to assessment and support in education for children with Special Educational Needs. This matters

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

Will the Independent Public Advocate display greater independence than the Independent Office for Police Complaints or its predecessor the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Time to enact @hillsboroughlawnow.bsky.social to ensure accountability www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/former-...

Concerning words from Justin Madders as he is sacked by Starmer. “Bacground advisers will water down the proposals” Yet another failure to protect the powerless by Starmer and @uklabour.bsky.social ? www.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/2545459...

Led By Donkeys have got Fartrage's number.

Tories pledge to get all oil and gas out of North Sea www.bbc.com/news/article... Hardly a surprise that they would seek favours of the #oil and #fossilfuel industry. No doubt they won’t accept we in a #ClimateEmergency

Ordinary people outside hotels raging at ordinary people inside them: that’s the tragedy of this refugee controversy | Rowan Williams

Blair joins White House meeting with Trump on post-war Gaza - advice from Blair on ending a war…?

David Lammy, when is the UK Government going to stop enabling attacks like these by suspending all arms transfers to Israel? The majority of the UK public think we should stop licensing the export of F-35 parts to Israel, which rain terror on civilians in Gaza.

The Labour response to Farage policy of leaving the Refugee & Humam Rights Convention should not be “he won’t deliver”. It should be “this is not morally right” (not “British values” even). Voters want to see authentic consistent leadership. Not debate the workability of cruelty.

Whatever one's view on the specifics of Farage's plans, it's so remarkable how people can't see what a slippery slope it is to allow the government to exclude certain named groups from the legal protections afforded to everyone else. How are we so blind to the dangers of this?

"So concerned was she about her safety that she recorded hours-long rants directed at her by Cllr Bloom. Those recordings have been made available to council officials as well as this newspaper."

This year @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social ran the run for the first time. Have never seen so many sheep on a course before! Brilliant way to start Saturday

As usual returning from @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social challenged, encouraged and inspired. “Hope in the making” a way to live. @kateraworth.bsky.social and the #DoughnutEconomicsCircus a real highlight starring #BrianEno as Big Finance being taught to beatbox - where else would you see that?

@katerusby.bsky.social wonderful conclusion to our weekend @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social Thanks for a brilliant set!

The witch trials of 1612 still cast a long shadow.
