IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

The orange felon is vomiting untruths at Davos. He confused Iceland for Greenland. He has uttered blatant threats. He has insulted numerous allies. The man is insane and needs to be stopped.

Former Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defects to Reform UK… his natural home of course. Reform is becoming a repository for the morally bankrupt and washed-up Tories.

You would have to wait until year 125,206 to have as much money as Elon Musk.

Whose turn to bring snacks next weekend? 🤔🤣

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

If the Brexit ref was held today, Remain would win by over 8 million votes. That huge majority is created from old Leavers dying, young pro-EU people entering the electorate, and millions changing their mind. It's time for the big parties to accept this reality and aim their policies toward Rejoin.

I had a really fascinating chat with @emilythornberry.bsky.social for this episode and no better way to start in my new billet at Quiet Riot with @pimlicat.bsky.social, @sturdyalex.bsky.social and @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social

Whereas stealing artists’ work is killing their industry, so…

Are we paying attention yet?

History repeats.

Brilliant exposition of the intricacies and iniquities of the UK's immigration system by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social - and how we're being constantly misinformed by MSM. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. 💔

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Instead of headline grabbing stuff like this which will have little effect, let’s reopen safe routes so refugees can apply for asylum and visas whilst on mainland Europe and successful applicants can come here and find work immediately.

How can potential Reform UK voters be won back? YouGov, commissioned by B4B, asked 3,000 people planning or considering voting for Reform UK which criticisms of Farage and Reform UK would make them reconsider. Here’s what we found out ⬇️ https://www.bestforbritain.org/farage_vulnerable_on_economy

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b... As Putin tests NATO with drone incursions, I spoke to @olenakr.bsky.social about the growing capabilities of Ukraine’s arms industry and whether it might prove the solution to European rearmament.

"More than a century and a half ago, this country ignored the explicit words of men who sought to raise an empire of slavery, transformed them into gallant knights who sought only to preserve their beloved Camelot. Words are not violence, nor are they powerless." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Rejoin the EU to solve UK’s economic woes and tackle small boats crisis, Kinnock tells Starmer. The economy would gain £100bn, the government £40bn. We would be part of the Dublin Protocol again, meaning we could return irregular migrants back to France. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The Dutch rip the hell out of Donald Trump and Disney for the ridiculous Jimmy Kimmel firing. This is what you call Free Speech, Trump.

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

If the government can celebrate scaring a critic off TV, the punchline writes itself — and it’s from 1933. #JimmyKimmel

This is a disgrace they need to fire the person at the BBC who is charge of the News, they are clearly biased.

Everything is shit so listening to the superb Hamlisch soundtrack to The Way We Were celebrating the wonderful life of Robert Redford and when America was sunny filled with beautiful souls.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social are we not respecting free speech any more? What the hell are you allowing to happen by arresting protestors left, right and centre? Correction… arresting those on the left. You cannot pretend to be protecting your founding ideals - Starmer is leaning towards the right.

Repost and 💙 if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel!

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us." What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that. What contempt for voters. ~AA

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Right to the heart of the matter. Well said @ianbyrnemp.bsky.social

“He has been killed for saying things that used to be simple common sense. He has been killed because he had the courage to stand up publicly for reasonable opinions held by millions and millions of ordinary people both in the US and Britain.” - Boris Johnson

But wait a minute - wasn't it people in the USA who were questioning freedom of speech in the UK? The irony here is that Charlie Kirk opposed gun controls. RIP to this young man and of the other people who have been senselessly murdered inc Joe Cox & David Amess #CharlieKirk

I wonder if the days of tactical voting are over. We perhaps need to simply vote for what we believe in. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social is so wayward at present that it is hard to align oneself with a party that defies its founding ambitions and is chasing right wing sympathies. So very disappointing

Rayner was careless about her stamp duty liability in Brighton and paid the political price for lack of due diligence. Farage - as is now on the public record - lied about his stamp duty situation in Clacton yet carries on regardless.

@theatreroyalbath.bsky.social Samuel Beckett’s Endgame currently on stage at the Ustinov is an utter joy to watch - challenging on so many levels but oh my, such class acting from the quartet of Douglas Hodge, Matthew Horne, Selina Cadell & Clive Francis. This is a must see!

Farage promise to "stop the boats within two weeks of winning gov't" unravelling. Apparently, it means "after passing laws", "as quickly as possible", he "believes", the boats will still cross, but all will be deported "if necessary" and "sensible", "unless we have a duty of care". Bravo, Beth! 👏🏽

On the same day in the Telegraph:

This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given that he already owns other properties."
