is it only asylum seekers our Labour Prime Minister would object to living next to or would the sentiment apply to black and brown people in general? if merely the former, would he like to explain how he knows people he sees, say, in the street, actually are asylum seekers and not citizens?
Always voted Labour. Never ever will again. This is despicable
Yet another capitulation to Reform, when all the evidence shows that following the far right agenda is a disaster for centrist parties. Politics 101, which Starmer has once again entirely failed to grasp.
Or he could have said people seeking asylum are having to be housed in these places because it was originally the choice of the Tories who made such a mess of the asylum system they had to put people somewhere
I like Bluesky too and I would say you’re right about the reduction in users as I’ve noticed a lot less new posts on my timeline over the last few months. Shame really as it feels like left wing twitter 🤷🏻♀️
Imagine the message it would send if Gary Lineker won 'Presenter of the Year' at this year's National Television Awards Standing up for compassion & the right to speak out And, the feathers it would ruffle My lovely followers, you know what to do: nationaltvawards.com/vote 🗓️ Deadline: 12th Sep
Parliament returns today. But rather than representing his constituents after six weeks away from the Commons, Farage is speaking at an event alongside Trump’s authoritarian allies in Washington 👇🏻
So why are no news channels reporting more about the alligator Alcatraz fuck up? Why not ask trump, Vance, bondi et al what their plans are now? They just seem to get away with these push backs against their plans without anyone questioning them?
Couldn’t make it up, could you
A "disgusting" paedophile who was jailed for his part in a riot at a South Yorkshire hotel housing asylum seekers has been handed a new jail term for sexually abusing a young girl
Apparently he lives in the USA now so even if we do report here, nothing can be done, can it?
Jeez what an absolute twat
That’s one of the most offensive messages I’ve seen in a while. Can we report him for hate speech??
😕
REP. @brotherjones.bsky.social: “People want to give thoughts and prayers after a shooting, but it’s a form of theological malpractice when you pray for something you have the power to change.”
Yes
The presenter – whose ITV bear-baiting show was cancelled when a guest subsequently took his own life – has a new gig: speaking at Reform’s annual conference in Birmingham next weekend. ✏️ Rats in a Sack 🐀
Problem is we will get JD Vance in charge. Will we be able to tell the difference?
Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this. The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)
Palantir just took over the CDC. The head of the UK branch of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, grandson of renowned British fascist Oswald Mosley. Palantir has 24 contracts with key UK public institutions; the NHS, Ministry of Defence, the police force, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC.
WTAF?!
Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!
Absolutely agree with this. Been called out a couple of times by people supposedly on the same side as me because I’m not enough. We’re doomed if we can’t work together 😩
Preach it brother

Just in case you forgot…
Classy
Reform UK: “Free speech! You can’t say anything these days!” Also Reform UK: “You’re banned from reporting on our council because we don’t like what you said.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Yesterday: Nigel Farage says Reform UK "will detain and deport absolutely anyone that comes via that route.. Yes, women and children" Today: Nigel Farage, "Deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage. The news reports who said that were wrong"

I’m completely onboard with all of this but there is still no plan about what people like me do now! Help!!
…and inevitably…👇🏻
You’re kidding, right?
What a complete twat rod Liddle is - everything that’s wrong with white male and stale
Lucy Connolly: 1. Committed an offence under legislation brought in by the Thatcher government 2. Pleaded guilty 3. Was sentenced according to guidelines set out by the Johnson government 4. Freedom of speech doesn't extend to incitement to violence 5. 1A to the US Constitution says exactly the same
If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like. If you hate him, give it a RT.
WTF 🤬 This is happening in Washington, DC
She pleaded guilty and was sentenced by a judge. Starmer had f all to do with it. She knows that; the Telegraph knows that.
If you have any information or tips to share about Donald Trump's patrolling of Washington DC tonight, or any ongoing operations, please hit me up on Signal @ premthakker.35 Your anonymity will be protected Even if you got no info, please boost this so others can see it too. Thank you guys.
Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
If any legal firm wants to set up a fundraiser to sue Robinson for libel on behalf of Ayeni I will happily contribute. (Assuming he wants to sue).
.@pimlicat: "We all had a front row seat to Musk’s malign influence." “British people are rightly against Musk being anywhere near our electricity supply." Say No to Elon Musk's energy power grab and send a letter to Ofgem: https://www.bestforbritain.org/petition-elon-musk-uk-energy-power-grab
Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention. The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.
How about this government, who should know better, stop attacking the legal system when they don’t like the outcome. More and more Reformlite every day!
HA!
The uniqueness of Trump’s constitutional arson is that he always says it out loud, in advance.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
Has anyone asked Melania what she remembers? She’s in most of the photos 🧐 #epsteinfiles
💙
The FBI came to my house to intimidate me because I’m critical of Trump. And they wouldn’t let my girlfriend take a picture of their badges. They had printouts of my posts.
@monkemma.bsky.social really pleased to hear your Substack open.substack.com/pub/monkdebu... featured on the @mrjamesob.bsky.social LBC show this morning. When I read the Substack earlier, I thought it would fit in well under James' "Missed information" feature ! Great work. Thank you!
THIS shouid be the headline and he should resign for it, like in the good old days. We are doomed 😩
Subtext of this story is that the villagers made a mistake because the Scouts were Scots. Similar to the narrative of Rupert Lowe and his misidentified charity rowers. Maybe we need to be asking why they these vile opinions have been normalised in the first place. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...
With the caveat that I'm not a woman, I suspect there is a fairly obvious flaw to this plan in terms of making women feel more safe on the streets.
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social It’s not your programme but you’re the only bbc account on here so I’ll ask, why oh why is the headline today about how many people have come here in a bloody boat? There’s a far right coup happening here and the USA and genocide in Gaza for starters! Stop spreading shite
www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/and...
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss trashing the UK on the world stage, "We now live in an Orwellian state in Britain" "Our economy is in decline.. Steelworks closing down because of environmental policies.. Businesses not being able to start up"
Ficking hell. Fascism, on its way across the pond 😳
Don’t let this fade away. Has Trump answered for this? Has @MarshaBlackburn ? apnews.com/article/wome...
And still no roadmap for how we effect the change!
This is the ridiculously obvious deepfake @chriscuomo.bsky.social just fell for. Absolutely pathetic stuff Then instead of apologizing to @aoc.bsky.social he doubled down on the embarrassing nonsense As his brother plays footsie with Trump and his billionaire buddies #NoCuomo
Bit late though isn’t it, now it’s here 🤷🏻♀️
Nobody still seems to be answering the question about what we do?
So does that change how you respond to me?
Yes!
Shame really, I expressed a view which wasn’t really all that terrible and got a bit of a pile on. Seems there’s people who want to fight with anyone that doesn’t believe and feel EXACTLY how they do about stuff. Part of what’s wrong with the world 🤯
How do you know all that about me from one message. You don’t. You don’t know the first thing about my views or my actions. Maybe, just maybe it’s not me that’s the problem? It’s seems there’s keyboard warriors everywhere, not just on X
lol. Concern trolling, or maybe just having a voice? How do you know I’m not a woman, or of colour, or both? I didn’t say anything terrible did I? Just voiced an opinion. Jeez guys 🤷🏻♀️
Wow. That’s a really unhelpful response to someone who actually is on the same side as you but just expressed a slightly different opinion. 🤷🏻♀️
Jesus wept 🤯
Well I haven’t nothing but aggression about my views since I posted them or people telling me I’m wrong - this post is just another one telling me violence is the way. Not sure that’s what Corbyn’s going to advocate 🤷🏻♀️
Lovely, thanks for that. And we are on the same side 🧐 I rest my case 🤷🏻♀️
Hmmmmm
Well not everyone in the party and the country will get it - I didn’t and it’s sounded snarky so I was merely making a point
I mean, that’s the point I’m making - why so hostile? I’m anti reform obviously but name calling and mud slinging won’t wash it - we need a polished reasonable clever well prepared way of communication not jeering. Otherwise no one will listen
Then we’re doing it wrong. Just cos you can’t beat them, doesn’t mean you should join them 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve signed up for this party but I’m hoping the oppositional and aggressive tone in the above post doesn’t remain part of the rhetoric of the party - we need a completely new way of doing things - leave the aggression to the others maybe?
Well, this didn’t age well!
Here's tomorrow's front page of The National (Scotland):
🚨Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? Jeffery Epstein: “Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights.”
I’m so confused
This is mealy-mouthed and refuses to call it what it is: racism. It doesn’t even have the decency to name me, let alone offer a direct apology. Supine journalism from The Observer, but sadly that’s what we’ve come to expect from the mainstream media.
Chris Philp says small boat arrivals are 24x more likely to be in prison than Brits. Full Fact says: no evidence, bad data, serious flaws. Sound familiar? Stephen McNair reports
One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.
Thing is though, I agree with all of that but if he was cheating, wouldn’t he make it less obvious??
I mean WTAF? As a British person I’m completely at a loss as to how this is happening over there…(and we also needs advance tips of what to do when it comes our way ina few years time) 🤯😳
If you are planning to attend tomorrow, please read our advice on setting up your phone in case you are arrested solidarity.netpol.org/setting-up-m...
What the fuck is Starmer doing?! 🤯😩 #nevla
Doubtful.
A former Colchester mayor has doubled down on social media comments he made suggesting the government should “create an Auschwitz camp minus the ovens” to house migrants. The extent to which this rhetoric is normalised is utterly fucking abhorrent. www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/2531263...
I do seem to remember that, yeah.
Instead of doing his actual job, for the past year Farage has been on a speaking tour of radical, pro-Trump groups. We’ve kept the receipts, and it isn’t pretty (especially for the residents of Clacton). Great report by @adambarnett.bsky.social & @rtakver.bsky.social
As Trump refuses to leave the stage, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer is all of us, all the time. “What is he doing?!” (🎥 CH5 Sport)
Always was a twat 🤷🏻♀️
This is one of those random headline generators, right?
🔥 Rosie O’Donnell, an American, responds to Trump threatening to revoke her citizenship — showing he is coming for anyone who opposes him eventually: “You are everything that is wrong with 🇺🇸… King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”
