If you were writing a political drama and wrote Stephen Miller as a character everyone would think you were being absurdly OTT.

The Green Party now has 78,000 members. Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line. I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Remember liberals applauding the Shamima Begum precedent for a groomed child and when we raised the alarm about it they were calling us overdramatic

The Reform right like the MAGA right are completely fact averse and know that they can bullshit their way to power because their followers simply don't care about truth. That's the threat this country faces, and it strikes me that our media are ill equipped to tackle it and failing us all.

Incredible line from the Reform fascist love in earlier as Yusuf says, "The reality is that we think the [immigration] numbers are much higher." Soooooo it's not a reality then, is it? Like, by definition. It's just some vibes.

Running against Mussolini by agreeing with him on everything except the org-chart of his proposed train reform taskforce.

These people are dangerous. This is not normal.

Never challenge a corvid to a game of Global Thermonuclear War.

GB News will be ranting about cyclists tomorrow morning. I declined the producer’s invitation.

Everything that the Labour party did about anti-racism, inbetween increasingly draconian immigration legislation and policy, Black and Asian people had to fight for

I don't think it's wise of the Lib Dems to promote the idea that asylum constitutes a national emergency, justifying use of the Civil Contingencies Act. That Act bestows enormous powers on ministers, to be used only in "the most serious of emergencies". Would Davey want Farage having those powers?

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Yep, there's your problem, right there.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

I see they've found another way to break the Good Friday Agreement.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

It’s already illegal to do what most residents on this street have done: paving over front gardens with impermeable surfaces. But enforcement is virtually non-existent. The real reason is car dependency and urban sprawl, as well as lack of safe alternatives.

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

Importantly, couldn't. Not wouldn't. Political decisions based on austerity economics don't count. Build trams. And cycle-route networks, too.

For UK citizens EU citizenship is now a privilege www.bbc.com/news/article...

My gripe with this is the language of "take into account" because every major sports governing body *already* had policies in place. She's just using the bad faith Republican framing that has led regulatory bodies to undo existing regulations in favor of straight-up bans.

Oh FFS. I remember when Lib Dem frontbenchers, whatever other problems the party had, would still say things like "racism is bad" and "immigration is good". I miss when Britain actually had liberal and social-democratic parties, rather than several parties all competing to appease the far right

Weirdly nobody ever says this of Trump leaving X for Truth Social

Well that’s a hell no.

Of all the ridiculous “now that we have [x], we don’t need a knowledge-rich curriculum”, AI is maybe the silliest. How else are you meant to know whether it is right or wrong?

Amazing to see what's happening with rail in mainland Europe, while we're still building massive road schemes and cancelling HS2. Helsinki to Palermo by train – imagine!

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s an extremely white take. Keir Starmer can’t simply do a speech and say racism is not acceptable while he supports genocide in Gaza, has racist rhetoric on immigration and his cabinet has no POC that actively support their communities. It needs action not just words

I’d never seen this one.

Don’t let Labour talk about Israel/Palestine without talking about their role in arming the Israeli military and the ongoing genocide.

Would love to see this for Greater Manchester. No, I don't have time to do it.

🇬🇧 vs 🇳🇿 Slang Showdown! @ZackPolanski.bsky.social & Chlöe Swarbrick test each other’s lingo — see who comes out on top?

Lord of the Rings, taped from a Radio 4 dramatisation.

The most humiliating moment I've ever had in politics was defending Tim Farron in 2017

"Obsession with democracy": Telegraph telling on itself even more than usual here

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills. The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Attacking *anyone* on the pronunciation of their name, or the ethnic background it might involve or suggest, is very grubby politics. The classism involved here hardly helps the Lib Dems with their notions of regaining northern constituencies and councils.

Liberals and indeed some right wingers in the USA

He still thinks/claims that “asylum seekers” come from insane asylums

Best argument for Lammy being made US ambassador is how interesting the by-election would be. Greens have never done well in by-elections but Tottenham would be a great seat to test them
