Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

NEW: When Labour voters were asked why they believed things were getting worse for the UK, they overwhelmingly cited Brexit as the number one cause, with 69 per cent naming the decision to leave the European Union as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed. How about: - It's WRONG - It's IMMORAL ?

While taking a few photos of last night's lunar eclipse here in London (at 8.43pm local time) I happened to catch an image of a plane flying in front of the moon. #lunareclipse

First image of the season! We moved to South-West London (Bortle 8!!!). I set up the telescope to try out a new filter - a Sightron LPS-C1 that excludes the wavelengths in LED streetlights.This is the Fireworks Galaxy. 150x120 seconds Esprit 100ED Sightron LPS-C1 ZWO ASI 294MC-Pro #Astrophotography

Excellent #HistoricalFiction book set largely in the area of North-West Ireland I grew up in, but in 60AD! Great characters, lots of genuine historical detail, and a well-written narrative. US: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-oak-an... UK: www.amazon.co.uk/Oak-Eagles-B...

As Trump heads to the so-called “grand opening” of the Florida migrant facility, this definition - from the Holocaust Memorial Museum - needs to be widely shared and understood.

A reminder that the Washington Post endorsed confirming Pam Bondi. Support pro-democracy independent media.

From relief to horror: Gazans met with gunfire at aid sites

Given how unpopular Starmer is this is quite a reflection on Farage and Badenoch.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

President Macron, "2 million people in Gaza" "You can't get rid of Palestinians and push them out" "They have a legitimate right to live there, to be recognised by everybody" "We have to respect the willingness of the Palestinian people to have a state"

Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads) has now explicitly removed hate speech protection for LGBTQI+ people in the USA. Hate speech legislation in the EU prevents this policy there. American minorities are in for a torrid time. glaad.org/releases/met...
