The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning. The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It is good to see some Labour MPs condemning the Home Secretary's hideous proposals, and rhetoric. I hope that more come forward to condemn this inhumane treatment of people seeking safety, and ensure these proposals never see the light of day in practice.

Lord if this is true it is utterly abhorrent #Mahmood But I heard such a lot of terribly unthought through stuff coming out of the panic-stricken mouth of Jo White, Home Select Committee MP, mouth today in @channel4news -that it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re being instructed to go down this road

2015 Shabana Mahmood really needs to have a word with 2025 Shabana Mahmood

Come on Balvinder that was class! #strictly

Well Craig may be right on George’s rhumba BUT the choreography isn’t his fault! #strictly

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

Time and again I see the assumption that pensioners don’t have housing costs to meet - not utilities but the roof over your head - it isn’t the case for many.

It’s profoundly worrying that so many politicians and journalists, continue to use this platform which is increasingly a space for hate speech and far right propaganda. It’s having a serious impact on the state of national discourse. Government should at the very least make X abide by the law.

NEW: 942 amendments have been laid down in the House of Lords ahead of the Assisted Dying Bill's committee stage in the chamber, which starts tomorrow. This is believed to be a record for a bill at committee stage. It's going to be an intense debate.

@bbcradio3 I was glad never fails to have that effect on me - even on a grey November morning! But - why don’t you get a proper account on here? If you’re still on X - it’s way past time to ditch that cesspit!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

Follow all the money funnelled into Freeports.

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

I despair

Tells you all you need to know about Leavitt. And isn’r that (PERFECT) just so sad. That a major work power has sunk to the depths revealed by his social output is a tragedy. We must not allow the US more control over our media. In fact we need to pull back from it #bbc @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

What IS he doing?

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

“We're seeing a level of proliferation of bodies & body piles from space that's unlike anything I've ever seen…” Human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond explains how more people could be killed within a week in Sudan, compared to the past two years in Gaza. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/sudans-dea...

It’d be a travesty for Alex to go this just wasn’t her dance #strictly

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT "We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"

Flagmania is racist bunting and we all know it. Poppy-policing is more of the same menacing ‘patriotism’. “Those who oppose the UK’s emboldened far right need to speak out” not cower before Farage and the Daily Mail Otherwise what *exactly* are we remembering? www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-f...

#Reform really showing their nasty side. Remember Rishi leaving D Day early - and that went down like a bucket of sick. Let’s hope people start to lose the blinkers that make them think ‘they can’t be any worse’ or that they are in any way the answer to our troubles. #Farage

Claire's beloved horse Tango died in terror when holiday-makers set off a firework display at a nearby cottage. Sign her petition to protect animals and vulnerable people from the shock and terror of unexpected explosions. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

Oh — the situation has escalated. Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in. "Jesus says very clearly … we're going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=taCi...

It’s been a great series of #gbbo I’d say - enjoyed every episode

Yep I think if it wasn’t for that he might have edged it - it was closer than I thought it would be #gbbo

Speaking from Christo-fascist school board ground zero: YES. Do not let them get a hold of your local school boards. The shenanigans and self-dealing that occurs is unbelievable. Local votes matter so much.

Would Nigel Farage like to comment? Tommy Robinson? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolute unmitigated garbage being talked on @bbc-politics.bsky.social by @dannykruger.bsky.social and ably backed up in that by Kevin Hollingrake chair of the @conservatives.bsky.social - pathetic denial of their own record in government and of reality. Meaningless populist rhetoric. #bbcpolitics

Yet again - why is our government and our public sector having ANY truck with this man’s poisonous pit of lies and division. Why @lisanandymp.bsky.social ?

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social why is this racist idiot ever on BBC?
