"I want to make a country we can all afford to live in." @zackpolanski.bsky.social tells it straight on The Last Leg.

Darren Jones says Labour has to convince young people it is 'modern party of the future'. The very definition of an undeliverable promise for this 2010 tribute act: Cameronism with added hate.

where's your poppy, horse? oh sorry, my bad, there it is @remembrancewatch.bsky.social

Well, there's a paragraph that pulls you in.

Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old. He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary www.disabledginger.com/p/help-rodne...

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

It must be the press blackouts that prevented us from hearing about the relentless racism-enabling chasing of Reform policies.

A white gay man who grew up in Virginia and moved to New York to attend NYU for acting and comedy writing has been having a multi-day crash out in my twitter mentions about how the city does not need more housing for "gentrifiers" and like, baby, the call is coming from inside the house!

Whooooooooop, a "Where are your poppies?" in the wild (with apologies for the sewer screenshot, but of COURSE that's the platform she uses)

An inspiring message of “good things aren’t possible” from Labour.

The CJEU will soon be ruling on whether this Danish housing policy is directly racially discriminatory (the Advocate-General's opinion says it is: curia.europa.eu/juris/docume...). The UK's Home Secretary wishes to base family reunion for refugees on such a policy.

More austerity from the “change” guy

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

More from me over on the Up Front. One of the most extraordinary moments in aviation history.

Pure distilled essence of 1979-2025, here. I’m loaded and loving it but somehow I can never shake this mortal terror that somewhere, some poor wanker might be eating a free cheese sandwich.

Great to hear London Labour MPs panicking about losing their seats to the Green Party. For clarity, though - this goes way beyond just London. Across England & Wales, we're saying lower bills, tax billionaires and we're ready to take on Reform. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Q: Why can’t the UK do more rail electrification? A: because it is too expensive Q: why is rail electrification so expensive in the UK? A: because we do so little of it 🤪 Welcome to the treasury logic that prevents sensible rail electrification investment, with your guide @noeldolphin.bsky.social

It seems pretty risky to tell people they won't see the change they want if they vote Green, given that they already voted Labour and didn't see the change they wanted.

Regressive, anti-environment talk from… the Lib Dems’ Tim Farron. I dare @timfarron.bsky.social to publish the ‘evidence’ he claims to have here that Sea Eagles “would not enhance biodiversity” & would be a “huge threat” to lambs Ignorant & scaremongering www.wfelibdems.uk/news/article...

Please don't let the decision by Cycling UK overshadow the achievements of this year's 100 Women in Cycling.

A common, if sometimes disingenuous argument, is that reducing parking is ableist. But it's not if you convert regular spaces to disabled spots as part of overall parking reduction efforts. But I suspect the non-disabled car brains wielding ableism as a cudgel won't agree with that solution.

That's incredibly disappointing and rather spineless. Trans rights are human rights.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

How has it come to this? Even the Tories weren't threatening to deport people in work and legally here (until they went into opposition).

Famously, the poppy is a symbol of remembrance because of how, after the fighting stopped, the flowers sprung up from the neatly-tended fake-lawn rectangles of Flanders.

How did I not realise that Lord Glasman was behind the daring new Blue Labour strategy of 'the stocks'?

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

you can really tell the BBC didn’t expect to air the Traitors finale in November because they’ve not pinned a poppy on everything that moves

You think it'd be in Zia Yusuf and Reform's interests to be a lot more convincing than this...

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

Who says: “I’m going to post on 8Chan because I want to ‘meet people where they are’”? Who says: “Hey, I created an account on the Daily Stormer message board because I don’t want to ‘cede that space to the other side’”? No one says this because it’s stupid – so why does anyone say this about X?

Labour were broken a long time ago. Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires. A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them. Time to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This investigation from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social is absolutely staggering. It is very common in Sheffield (I live in this bit) to have a leasehold, often with hundreds of years left on and pennies in ground rent. This is extortion pure and simple. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/a-london-law...
