Integration - some facts that will never cross the racist Robert Jenrick's lips. #CPC25 #C4News bsky.app/profile/omar...

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I? The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us. Folks - want a better country? Join.greenparty.org.uk

Given how badly Kemi Badenoch is doing her job here, she’d be wise not to talk about the validity of other people’s jobs!

BBC News finds it easy to move from the fall of another French cabinet to considering the future of the Fifth Republic, but can hardly mention Trump's unconstitutional militarisation of Democratic cities and threats of the Insurrection Act. Promoting mixed martial arts on the other hand... #r4today

Oh yeah ... I forgot to add that the Tories want to expel legally permanent British residents based upon their race and country of origin. Regardless of how actually evil this is, it helps no-one, no white British patriot will be better off because of this! It's thick as well as stupid!

If you don't think that the Overton Window has shifted right in recent years ... here's Reform AND the Tories going beyond what the BNP suggested in 2005. They want to expel legally permanent British residents. Frankly I weep every day for what my country has become.

Fuck it ... I've been pretending that I'm too good for it lately ... but I want to go to the fair ... It's Abingdon Fair this week and even though I'm not a teenager and I don't have little kids anymore ... I still want to go. I think they're brilliant. Don't make me go on my own.

Still disappointed that the Allotment Life feed can't differentiate between the UK allotment meaning a plot of land you rent for a small amount to grow vegetables ... whereas we're often made to look at the US meaning of allotment - an amount of money allocated to something boring. #AllotmentLife

I hope everyone else is enjoying conference season 🤣

It's been 5 years ... so I'm asking the question now ... what the fuck happened to Dido Harding? You remember the one ... given £37 billion to implement test and trace during Covid with absolutely no accountability ... a test and trace system which never happened.

🔴NEW🔴 Thread 🧵 @bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

No Dan ... don't give up ... you're the sane one here. Places change people as much as people change places ... it was ever thus ... if you make a place your home and engage with/add to the community there, you are from that place.

I fucking loved Janey Godley ... she's missed every day.

I honestly don’t know why Reform and Nigel Farage are upset about being called racist … they say racist things, hang around with racists and they have clearly racist policies. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck … how dare you even suggest it’s a duck!!

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this. Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout. And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.

Scroll to the end to hear Nigel Farage telling the truth.

The last few weeks has felt like an onslaught of fruit harvesting ... there's no way I can process everything in to meaningful food, turning in to alcohol is a possibility though! Currently trying to work out what to do with the last few plums, two huge food barrels full of pears and 250 quinces.

All the right words from Rachel Reeves … yes, we all want the platitudes you are saying … but when will you actually do something to make us feel the cost of living crisis is getting better in our own real lives??? #labourconference

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

I’m sure there’s some kind of rule in English to do with the order of adjectives … so I’m not sure I’ve got the following right. Can someone like @susiedent.com help me out?

Jimmy Carr? Greedy, vain, unprincipled, tax-dodging, gypsy-bashing, annoying, unfunny slimeball more like!

“My wife went to Riyadh to see an edgy comedian” “Jimmy Carr?” “No, she went of her own accord”

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

If a Labour government can’t begin to address this as its number one priority, then what is the point of the Labour Party?

UK median wage for an employee is £30,816. A single person needs to earn £30,500 a year to reach a minimum acceptable standard of living. A couple with 2 children needs £74,000 a year between them. Can't rebuild economy based on low wages and poverty.

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

I know I often get on my high horse about faith and religion which I think are flawed and wrong ... and I still think that. But religious communities like churches (my direct experience) are not flawed and wrong ... they are amazing ... I wish they existed outside of religion and faith.

Leave are swans alone!!

Reform MP backs up Nigel Farage claims that migrants are coming for your birds.

Does it make me a bad person to say that I want everyone to have a national ID card that definitely proves you are who you say you are? Supposedly that wrecks my liberal credentials ... but what are you trying to hide? I don't need to hide my identity.

I made my first massaman curry from scratch today ... my oh my ... the difference between the flavour in a massaman curry and the food I grew up with is next level. Wartime British food that somehow made its way to the 1980s has a lot to answer for! Just heating something isn't cooking.

The "free market" means that we're constantly having to jump through hoops switching our providers of gas, electricity, our savings accounts, our mortgages, our broadband providers, our mobile phone contracts. Who the fuck has the time and energy for that? And they know it.

Billy Bragg points out to Reform UK ‘patriot’ Richard Tice that his flag’s upside down. 🇬🇧😂🤦🏽‍♂️ #bbcqt

I’m old enough to remember something like this being career-ending. An unprompted comparison of paracetamol and *thalidomide*??

Oh no! The people who write recording contracts have decided to try their hand at the real estate game! 🙀😾

Only in Witney!!!

Here are my most hated characters in the Star Trek universe in order: 1. Lieutenant Berkeley 2. Q 3. Doctor Bashir 4. Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram 5. Doctor Pulaski 6. Wesley Crusher 7. Naomi Wildman 8. Vedic/Kai Winn 9. Icheb (Tim Henman of space) 10. Lwaxanna Troy absolute twats!

It's been slowly dawning on me that one of my childhood staple foods that has made it through to the current day might only be something that my family ever did. Please tell me that someone else out there thinks that a Bovril toasted sandwich is an actual thing that people make.

TV tonight: an essential record of the Covid contracts scandal

This is Excellent!!! 😂 Song dedicated to Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Suella Braverman and everyone else who wants to divide us... 'We Are British' by Joseph Tawadros youtube.com/shorts/Z731N...

Now that’s an English folk song I can get behind … love the musical references too! youtube.com/shorts/Z731N...

Let's not buy each other Christmas Presents this year. It's a zero sum game anyway ... Send capitalism a message that it doesn't work for us anymore. Simply agree with your family that you're not going to buy them tat they don't want. This will have more effect than supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

Just thinking about how we could hold the neoliberal capitalists to ransom ... and I've got an idea. Just make giving Christmas presents seriously uncool. Nobody really needs them, most are unwanted. It's September so they're already ramping. Let's just agree with our families not to do it.

I think we need a new atheist non-conformist movement. The nonconformists did the groundwork that allowed a social revolution through democratic process that led to the first Labour governments. NHS, pensions, social safety nets, decolonisation, anti-racism and gay rights. We need them again.

Thank God we don’t have the cancellation of satirical comedy in this country. I can’t wait to see how they deal with the Trump visit on The Mash Report, Mock The Week and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order!
