Not that any of this matters but I just want to remind everyone that the St George of ‘the flag of’ fame is the patron saint of levantine Christians and looks more like some of the asylum seekers than he does white ppl. He looks like a cousin of mine
When will BBC report this? Scientists have warned " Amoc collapse must be avoided “at all costs”. No longer low likelihood. Seems like a major story to me @bbcpaulmurphy.bsky.social
Labour are enabling this shit !
In July 2023, a year before the last GE, I explained exactly why Labour looked set to be a one-term disaster. Everything I've seen from them since they came to power has only cemented that assessment. (I hadn't expected them to SPRINT towards Reform. That surprised me.) medium.com/@edwinhaywar...

“We lived, as usual, by ignoring. Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.” —Margaret Atwood Starmer's work rate is quite remarkable.
Labour enabled this. Labour enabled this. Labour enabled this. It's important enough to repeat three times. Another future was possible, but it would have taken politicians with moral compasses and souls.
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
There's a decent chance of seeing the aurora tonight - it may be visible as far south as the Midlands (perhaps even further south) 🌃

"Positive Money suggested earlier this year that Britain’s biggest four banks were on track to report 14% higher profits in 2025 than in 2024" Taxing these windfall profits is a no-brainer - the proposals from @ippr.org to #TaxTheBanks are very welcome 👇👏
More afraid of exposing the thin skinned Trump fluffer Farage for the fraud he is than doing the right thing . Labour are a lost cause
‘UK to make it harder for refugees to bring family members to country’ How very humane. Remind me, what do Labour stand for nowadays? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Philp is the most disingenuous MP since Johnson. Where do the 33k people in hotels go? Who opened the hotels? You did Philp. Sending them to barges is absurd. Thank goodness he will never see power again.

BBC Four 9pm tonight
From their BannonBrexitGoebbels playbook They were always going to run a referendum on leaving the ECHR Once the RefCon merger/coalition finally becomes official they will base their entire GE campaign on it It will be Brexit reloaded funded/scripted by the same reprehensibles who enabled Brexit
Liars and twats have spread this utter gibberish . Anyone who falls for this nonsence should never be alowed to vote again
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
He is a 9 faced bankrupt prick .

Voting for Brexit, stopping the small boats – none of it will ever appease those who wage war on immigration | Nesrine Malik
Change ECHR Art 8? In order to achieve what? What changes, why, and how will we know it isn’t the thin end of a wedge? Playing to RefUK’s audience is not only dumb politics, it puts a match to petrol soaked kindling.
Fuck Labour, they do not deserve our votes

What a cunt he is
Carswell’s radicalisation must be one of the most extreme stories of the British parliamentary right over the last few years. From what I remember his 2017 book was mostly about bringing back Glass-Steagall and calling Farage a pound shop populist? And that’s *after* he’d joined and left UKIP.
Fuckwits.

I'm not sure whether the Telegraph & the Tories are actually interested in Angela Rayner's residences or just obsessed with her. Meanwhile Nigel Farage has five houses.. wp.me/p15p2Q-eWu
🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread). As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
We mustn't let him deceive the electorate a second time. Read The Bear's article for some great talking points to have online and with friends and colleagues.
Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in many of the UK’s problems - it’s time UK news shows and Labour started pointing that out youtu.be/be3b8RkMqvs?...

P&O Ferries boss who illegally sacked 800 staff quits. He told a parliament Committee that the company knowingly broke the law, faced no action from Tory govt. Workers replaced with £4.87 an hour agency staff. Now he probably walks away with golden goodbye and pension pot.

One of the big downsides of Labour's refusal to consider broad based tax rises that go against their election pledge is that bond traders are far more sceptical about the viability of all these others taxes being muted. So it's pushing up borrowing costs.

Psychopathy presents in multiple ways and has even been codified in the Hare Psychopathy Checklist; lack of empathy is the cardinal indicator of this condition. There are disproportionately more of these people in positions of power: right-wing politics and corporate elites are awash with them.
Fuck Labour I'm now a Green Party member, I actually joined when Corbyn was in charge
3. They are the kind of people we should contain and shun, in other words. Yet, astonishingly, the Labour Party is competing with Reform and the Conservatives to appease and attract such men, while dissing and burning its own base. We could reasonably ask what in the name of God is going on.
2. We’ve also discovered that there was a very high representation of suspected domestic abusers among those rioting against asylum seekers last year. A small number of truly horrible men are responsible for all kinds of misery. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Who would guess that , animal abusers are reform voting twats.
1. Out of curiosity, I went through the feeds of some habitual tuna tormentors. I found they’re big on: - fox hunting - Reform UK - antagonism to asylum seekers. In other words, the same few antisocial (psychopathic?) men, turning up in all the bad places. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... 🧵

I posted this 20 months ago in an unmentionable place. It has become no less true.
“We found that the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so. That is quite a shocking finding as well and why we have to act really fast in cutting down emissions.”
Leaving the ECHR to stop 40,000 asylum seekers per year is foolish, given the risks to Britain's other interests. People who should know better have lost all sense of proportion.
Not a drill.

“This is exactly who Starmer 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be talking to, the median voter! What Rylan said will resonate." Where is Labour? 🤔 @jonsopel1.bsky.social & @lewisgoodall.com say the party’s lack of communication lets misinformation about migrants spread, leaving a vacuum others happily fill.
It’s true - instead of strongly challenging misinformation about immigration, Starmer and co are weakly repeating Faragist rhetoric.
Time to recirculate this…there’s plenty our govts could do to stop the famine, death and destruction. Wringing hands and issuing strong statements doesn’t cut it.

I fear there is deep truth here.

I've spent the last three years researching Grimsby Town FC for my PhD. So in the wake of last night, I wanted to write a piece on what makes #GTFC such a special club, and what Manchester United can learn from the supposed "little fish" of English football. joshbland.substack.com/p/the-real-b...
