Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and 'it makes people feel very scared', says Starmer. Almost like living on an 'Island of strangers'?

On your show talking about the degrading of our nation flag today @mrjamesob.bsky.social, you missed a key point. A Hell of lot of these flags are hung upside down. Deliberately. Our enemies are laughing at us.

The BBC’s core problem is that, like the NHS, it models the benefits and virtues of a not-for-profit public service in a world of rapacious corporate greed and unstinting right-wing hostility to the idea of the public good www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/w...

Is ANYBODY interested in the world cup qualifiers 🤷

How ever since Labour came to power, the British media has started to notice a whole series of problems they spent the previous 14 years completely ignoring www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-great-...

The man has a heart of stone, he cares for no one but himself #Deplorable

Why the BBC handing Reform hours upon hours of unfiltered coverage of their press conferences every single week is so irresponsible What exactly has been "squandered" about Brexit here and by whom?

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed. He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

Darren Explains.... ...the defence deals with countries like Norway and Türkiye. Why they are good and what benefits do they bring to the UK! Labour delivering for British jobs, the British economy - the whole country! www.instagram.com/reel/DQe42a3...

If you do indeed manage this, Mr Heseltine, then, Tory or not, you will have my admiration and respect. Good luck to you, Sir! www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lor...

Yusuf - this bloke is a joke. One of his Reform mates doesn’t like seeing people of colour. She’s a racist. Yet the Reform tea boy carries on as if that’s ok when he’s one of her targets. More fool him

If ANYTHING happens to Rachel Reeves over this letting agent stuff, then I will call for the entire scrapping of the ministerial code & the independent advisor. The Tories essentially didn't abide by anything and I no longer care about requiring Labour prove to be more above board than others. 1/3

Private Eye.

The Elizabeth line shows how quality transport infrastructure in London can unlock opportunities for people and places across the country. This vital work in Derby makes clear that investing in the capital’s transport network doesn’t just benefit Londoners but drives wider economic growth.

Where is ... 8. ?

Erm, no. No this policy does not need "clarification". It needs condemnation. They have been pretty clear what they want, the mass deportation of people living and working here, families ripped apart, and xenophobia and racism embedded further as government policy www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in's own house. #ShakespeareSunday

Seems Sarah Pochin turned her clocks back to the 1970s last night.

An elected MP, Reform’s Sarah Pochin says there are too many Black and Asian people on TV - so plain racism - and the coverage of it is buried. Silence and ignorance is complicity, causing lasting damage. When we see racism it’s what we do next, individually and collectively, that matters.

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that

Imagine having a life so small and inadequate that it would be improved if there were fewer black people in Sainsbury's ads.

This morning, @mrjamesob.bsky.social is talking about how he is rather proud that he is part of the richest 1% that provides 33% of income tax take. I agree that far too much wealth is in the hands of far too few. It highlights the imbalance - that has to be fixed.

What a waste of £75,000! 😡

Here you go. "It's will encourage unity" says Leader Mick Barton,who knows exactly what he's doing when he wastes this £75K. Divisive. Unnecessary. Well done for voting them in 👍 BBC News - Criticism as Reform-led council set to spend £75,000 on new flags - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jess is one of the good ones. Yet another working class woman with a target on her back.

Aw, Farage doesn’t like hurty words. He can insult whole country, but mean Starmer ruins his week. 😂

Pay attention U.K. This is what is coming your way if the likes of Farage and his Insurance mates like Arron Banks have their way.

My timeline is full of "No Kings", And honestly? I could not be happier. The USA has to relearn its roots. Has to remember what differentiates it from the UK. Because right now? It is far worse than the UK has been since before the USA even existed.

Absolutely this. The UK in the 1980s was so much more violent and so much dirtier than it is now. The public domain was in a state of collapse. Communities across the industrial Midlands and North, in Wales and in Scotland had been abandoned. We're still paying the price now.

Brexit was a really crap idea. And one of the many reasons why it was so crap is that it will take decades to undo. If you don't accept that, I'm afraid you do not live in the real world.

Jemma Forte 1970's: CEOs earn 20 x more than average worker 2025: CEOs earn 122 x more than average worker The richest 1% own 50% of entire country's wealth. Obscene inequality has been normalised

Nigel Farage. Dodges any accountability for Brexit. Plays fast and loose with the Clacton House saga. Talks of nothing but immigration. Downplays the Nathan Gill story. Did f*ck all as an MEP; even worse as an MP Nigel Farage is a con man. #NigelFarage

Why doesn't the UK media talk about Farage and Russian money?

Knock knock Whose there? Laura Cumminsberg knocking Labour again

Greta Thunberg should win the Nobel peace prize and not a convicted felon who makes war on his own people. #GretaThunberg #NobelPrize

You’ll be staggered when you read this great post by TeeDixie👇🏼👌🏼 It shows how effective the media has been, in painting labour as a shit show in Govt, and glossing over how terrible the Tories were

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned. Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

I think it will be good for Starmer and Labour to have Jenrick as Tory leader. Badenoch is so bad she is basically entirely irrelevant. Jenrick and what he advocates are so disgusting and so poisonous they cannot be ignored.

BBC shows once more that licence payers are funding free PR for Reform and Tories by blanking @zackpolanski.bsky.social head of @greenparty.org.uk with an excuse that’s more flimsy than wet toilet tissue❗️🙄

Time they pensioned off Laura K along with all the other Tory stooges at the Beeb.

Rubs eyes. Looks again. Rubs eyes. It's still there.

What a flithy age we live in.

Incredible. TLDR: vaccines containing mRNA that encodes for allergen-related proteins have had promising results in mice, and might even be a stepping stone to an asthma vaccine.

The UK right is now committed to: 1. Abandoning net zero 2. Removing UK citizens’ human rights 3. Tearing up current and future deals with the EU Yet many on the left believe the priority should not be the right’s defeat at the next general election. The self-indulgence is off the scale.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.
