I agree with this, but I think if the BBC were better led, it would make fewer culpable errors and it would both directly and indirectly be better placed to fight the real and concerted campaign against it.

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Is there a crowdfunding campaign we can donate to?

This is a very thorough and fair demolition of Zarah Sultana’s poor understanding or sympathy for a country currently resisting genocidal invasion.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Another border control PR piece by the Times’ immigration enforcement stenographer. Not one mention of well-documented and longstanding violence by Bulgarian authorities against asylum seekers.

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

The Home Secretary is very cross! And she wants Sun readers to know about it!

Westminster hacks who neither know nor care about geopolitics should not cover international summits.

“Cultural coherence”

Labour takes 24 hours to respond to neo-BNP proposals from the Tories and then issues a statement so bland and garbled that the reader is left wondering whether they oppose them or not.

WHOA. The AP reports that in the latest strike on a boat alleged to be carrying drug smugglers (which has never been proven), there were actually survivors, and they've been rescued. The Pentagon has yet to formally acknowledge they have survivors in custody. apnews.com/article/vene...

Russian president then delivered a rambling historical discursion spanning medieval princes such as Rurik of Novgorod and Yaroslav the Wise, along with the 17th century Cossack chieftain Bohdan Khmelnytsky.Trump raised his voice several times and at one point threatened to walk out on.ft.com/4qkz9PG

Being a useful idiot for the Assad regime should rule out being a candidate for Ireland’s President.

Smuggling networks thrive with the connivance of compromised border officers. If the UK was remotely serious about this issue they would ramp up investment in civil society and independent media that can tackle and expose corruption.

Welcome to the UK. Your professional qualifications mean nothing. Recite the Wife of Bath's Tale or get out.

It receives little media attention these days but the Libyan militiamen that the EU funds and trains are shooting migrants indiscriminately. One man arrived in Italy yesterday with a bullet in his head. mediterranearescue.org/en/news/dopo...

Let’s check in on the warzone in Portland.

They should reply that they do the fucking news.

Ninety thousand pounds a year to post gifs of planes taking off and send ‘go home’ texts to international students. Nice work if you can get it!

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Lines in the sand drawn by the British government - famously incontestable.

No Brit should be saying ‘antifa’ anyway but at least pronounce it properly: ‘aunty-fah’.

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

Gov. JB Pritzker advises Chicagoans to knows their rights and to film everything after President Trump deployed the Federal Guard to the city.

Who had “Isabel Oakeshott writing propaganda for the Libyan National Army” on their 2025 bingo card?

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Why is the UK government still on X? This tweet about helping students from Gaza has a sea of racist bile in the comments and QTs.

People using the heinous attack on Heaton Park synagogue as an opportunity to flout ignorance and bigotry. The name 'Jihad' does not mean one is predestined to be a terrorist from birth. If al-Shamie arrived in the UK as a child his domestic radicalisation seems more key than his immigration status.

EXCLUSIVE: Former Reform leader convicted of taking Russian bribes. This should be *huge national news* - a direct link between Reform and Russia. #Russiagate national.thelead.uk/p/the-lead-u...

Labour removing one of the last safe routes for asylum seekers will only benefit smugglers. If Starmerism can be defined as anything it's daily performative cruelty against the oppressed, for no political gain.

It is fashionable to blame Brexit and Farage for "small boats" but all that does is reinforce the framing of asylum seekers as problems to deal with and pieces to be shuffled around. Given the current climate of hate speech and pogroms, that is unhelpful. It's also misleading. 🧵

UK and EU anti-immigration demagogues will jump on this as proof that they too can remove asylum seekers to Iran except: a) they are not America b) this is one plane, not hundreds, a plot twist not a border policy

Snivelling bootlickers every single one.

The Health Secretary tells NHS workers "you are home" the day after the Home Secretary threatened them all with hostile environment rhetoric. These two positions are not compatible and voters will notice.

I wonder what kind of politics is held by the Times editor that decided to use a photo of asylum seekers in a boat to illustrate a story about migrant workers arriving on legal routes.

'Boriswave' - a term originally used by creepy posters on X with extremely unpleasant views on race and immigration - amplified by Reform and now being parroted by media talking heads on a minutely basis. Wonder if that makes for a healthy national conversation.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Mahmood’s thoughts on rising ethno-nationalism are worthless when delivered in a speech that frames immigration as a problem and a threat.

Labour are rolling out ID cards because of anti-immigration hysteria. Any potential convenience they may bring to people’s lives is peripheral.

It breaches the right to be accepted as Irish under the GFA. You'd have expected the Cork-born Morgan McSweeney to have spotted that.....

Forcing people to apply for and hand over to authority something called a 'Britcard' should be wildly popular in Northern Ireland.

Citizens patriotically cutting up lines of red, white and blue cocaine with their Britcard before attending the Saturday night deportations at Ramsgate pier with the family.

Farage's uninterrupted promotion of a cryptocurrency firm at the end of his LBC interview this morning isn't getting much attention. Sounded like he was practically reading off a script. Probably nothing to worry about there.

Labour strategists as they are dragged away to the Reform reeducation camps: “Well this is unworkable 😏”
