This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Hurricane Rita's botched evacuation turned freeways into parking lots, resulting in over 100 deaths. A week earlier, a NOAA spokesman giving a post-Katrina briefing on the regional evac plan condescendingly dismissed my question about contraflow, saying "this isn't New Orleans."

I spoke to Times Radio about why @greenparty.org.uk are against Gatwick’s second runway. It’s a runway to climate chaos, not the future we need.

Hitler’s atrocities did not come from nowhere. They were developed and made permissible by a belief system, spread through propaganda and supported by powerful backers. Hitler’s belief system was similar to Trump’s, and spread by similar means. 2/4

🔴Where Is the Opposition to Nigel Farage’s Immoral Mass Deportation Plan? Keir Starmer’s refusal to explicitly condemn Farage's plans to tear thousands of families and communities apart is only clearing his path to Downing Street, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

Hitler continually tested the boundaries, seeing what he could get away with in terms of rhetoric, power grabs and assaults on other people. As Establishment resistance folded, he found he could get away with more and more. Trump is on the same path. 3/4

The Labour Party has a tradition of antiracism campaigning. It’s supposed to be in the party’s DNA. That they cannot say it’s just straightforwardly wrong to alarm families who choose Britain to live, work and raise children in is a total moral failure.

I urge people to switch on notifications for the Times and judge for themselves if they are doing journalism or propaganda.

If Reform wins the next election, it will be because Labour paved the road for them by pursuing anti-immigrant and transphobic Reform-lite policies, instead of challenging and rejecting this hateful, self-destructive populism. To Reform I say fuck you, to Labour I say do fucking better.

Anyone who can’t see through the “free speech!” “Cancel culture!” Bullshit now - the whole project has been about amplifying bigotry & shutting up criticism, is utterly complicit - Gervais, Carr & all- the reason they have far right fans is not the quality of jokes but the quality of propaganda

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler. Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of “Godwin’s Law”. Well sod that. Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧵1/4

maybe there's additional context i'm missing here but ed davey complaining about the "problem" of small boats over an unrelated ticker saying "would scrap indefinite leave to remain" is not helpful at all (and look how many people in the replies are like "Yeah! yeah! small boats!")

My mum has lived in this country for 53 of her 76 years. She came her from France and has lived, worked and had her family here. She is now a pensioner and doesn’t deserve to feel the kind of future-ruining fear and anxiety Farage is causing. This must be resisted, we all need to step up!

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

This is the standard approach through history: The community of the free. We've always had people insist on liberty, but only for their group, typically white men with property. Progressive liberalism was about rolling out those rights for everyone, a process that is now being reversed.

The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

Peak both-sidesing! bsky.app/profile/mari... Spot the difference between Trump/MAGAs reaction to this murder and that of Charlie Kirk? Do you recall the Hortmans being held up as plaster saints? Or Trump putting flag at half-mast, or condemning the murder? No you can't because HE/THEY did not.

Trump will never miss an opportunity to exploit a tragedy for political gain. # Charlie Kirk

Just as true of UK but also of Reform and Labour. Which is why the decent people need to ally to oppose them
