It's an entirely manufactured 'row'. Rayner has done absolutely nothing wrong. She owns one house. She paid the correct amount of stamp duty on it. What's the 'row'? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Comedy writing pay is a joke.
They mean 'brown people'.
Pretty sure this is all very standard 'strong dictator' behaviour - convince the people all is well with you, even when it isn't. Standard from Putin and Kim Jong Un, of course.
But, the foreigners...!
"Should we go back to the conditions that led to World War 2?"
That someone had a post an old photo pretending it was a new photo of Trump on a golf course is very telling.
Stuff like this is on those like Pharage who've pushed division all their lives, this mentality may have existed but they've been validated and emboldened.
He makes RFK Jr health secretary, takes all his health advice from RFK Jr, and now he's dying. Good.
So Trump upped the tariff’s on India to 50% when Trump Modi declined to lie for him by saying that he was responsible for bringing peace between India and Pakistan, or nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. So India et al parades Modi laughing and chatting with Xi & Putin.
It's amazing how people have to look on social media to be told that they are seeing foreigners everywhere, rather than - you know - actually looking outside where they'll see it's all bullshit. But they prefer to believe what they've been told rather than what they see.
And MAGA dimwits think this is the 'small government' they thought they wanted.
It'll certainly be a much bigger celebration than that absolute failure of a birthday he threw for himself.
even if he isn't dead, cremate him anyway
JD Vance right now
The radicalisation of the British public by extremist politicians and an obliging media happy for people to think asylum seekers rather than the super wealthy elites are the cause of all our problems...
Reminder that small boat migration is c.5% of all UK immigration. And asylum-seeking generally is far lower per head of UK population than most other west European countries e.g. 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 🇦🇹 🇮🇪. Yes even Ireland takes way more. Yet none have the same sense of crisis and moral panic as the UK.
Looks like the Paedo President is with his date...
This is supposedly a photo of Dementia Don to prove he is alive. It doesn't look like him, but there is a teenage girl also in the photo so it could well be the Paedo President after all.
The truth about Peter Thiel www.youtube.com/shorts/s-BQh...
Trump cutting off Kamala Harris' secret service detail tells us all that Trump has no intention of leaving the White House whilst he is still alive.
I'm not entirely sure they could get a convincing body double for that mess.
The St George's cross is the emblem of antisocial behaviour.
"I don't mind flags being put up everywhere." The behaviour you are actually encouraging.
It never ceases to amaze me that the far right gammons think people are crossing the channel in a dinghy for the luxury of a £49 weekly allowance.
Labour have banned asylum seekers from buying snowmobiles and timeshares with their £49.18 per week allowance... Starmer, you've gone too far now. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
I generally associate the St George's cross with anti social behaviour.
Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...
Can never find the original tweet, but I love: Guns don't kill people - people who say "Guns don't kill people" kill people. With guns.
And this is why the Project 2025 regime are trying to get it to the SCOTUS they installed, to transfer those powers to their king.
What stops them?
She split up from her husband and they are in the process of getting divorced. It seems pretty reasonable that *one of them* would be removed from the deeds of the property and buy a new property elsewhere.
Angela Rayner owns one home and paid the correct amount of stamp duty on it. I think The Telegraph is struggling with the concept of people not actually owning lots of properties.
OK, so what if they decide to ignore it and proceed anyway?
I'm sure Nigel Farage will bring this up when he testifies before the US Congress in September about freedom of speech restrictions in the UK.
They're not running for re-election, because they know there wont be an election.
"I know more about grass than any human being anywhere in the world." I DARE YOU TO TRY TO TOP THIS, GAVIN @govpressoffice-m.bsky.social
Supporters of the Rwanda idea don't do detail.
It's a regime, not an administration.
A great point, and I fear we know why: they don't anticipate there will be elections going forward—or if there are, their outcome will be structurally predetermined. This administration doesn't appear to have any expectation that it will ever be hamstrung or out of power. Not in 2026, not in 2028.
Career politicians have absolutely no idea how to handle the populists.
Which rights of local people in Epping are being lost? I'm not sure we've *ever* had the right to decide who does and does not stay in a hotel.
America hasn't had socialism and now it apparently needs to be made great again, and apparently is terrible after all this "not socialism". What makes you think that more "not socialism" is the solution?

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
How pathetic that "Woman owns house" is once again a story.
And finally - the flat in Brighton that’s causing all this fuss Yes, she has bought a flat in Brighton No it is not “an addition to her burgeoning property empire”🙄 This is the only property she owns There are 100s of MPs who ACTUALLY own multiple properties Rayner isn’t one of them🤷🏼♀️ 5/
The desperation by those on the Right to smear Angela Rayner is wearing thin🙄 And no - don’t bother replying UNTIL you’ve read the thread! I’ve trawled through multiple versions of this “story” in the Telegraph and Daily Mail to try and piece together what’s going on! 🧵1/17
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

I find even in the depths of winter where it gets down to -8 overnight, it is still keeping my home at 20 degrees for a little over 3kW of electricity but 10kW of output.
A 10kW heat pump is 10kW of heat output, and at max output it is consuming 3kW of electricity and magically finding the other 7kW from sub zero air outside in winter.
Gavin Newsom responds to a completely fake Vanity Fair cover being spread by MAGA, who think it is real
If my house can stay toasty warm on a 10kW heat pump, then perhaps the 24kW heat only boiler it replaced was overkill.
The lenders whose rampant throwing around of our money 20 years ago led to austerity now worried about being asked to repay the favour?
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
Absolutely. The 2011 Tottenham riots ended when it started raining. As a typically damp and rainy island, it beggars belief that we only go rioting as long as it isn't wet.
It's going to rain, so no riots.
The media will report any kerfuffle as a riot.
We can all agree that Reform UK voters are low information voters.
I wonder what the difference would be if the question was "An islamic cleric called for white people to be burned alive in their hotels. Free speech or jail time?"
“Immigrants have mobile phones” is the current made up moral panic equivalent to “poor people have TVs in council flats”
"next election", LOL. As if there will be a free and fair 'next election'.
Me, waiting for all the Epstein files MAGA promised on day 1.
Go Gavin 💥👍
Daily Mail headline: Wind farms hike your energy bills Reality: Bills are rising by less than £3 a month, which is lower than the rate of inflation, and most of the rise is due to expanding fuel poverty schemes, not renewables-related grid costs.
Weird, not a single mention of how retail energy prices are tied to the price of electricity generated by gas.
This recent symptom of dementia from trump hits close to home. I have seen it happen, similar to the episode described around the 4 min mark. #usdemocracy www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ARH...
So, in less than 2 weeks Putin damaged an American factory in Ukraine, and the American embassy. I’m sure Trump is going to defend America. 🤪
Richard Tice has never once tried to explain, with any detail, what Net Zero is and what it is about Net Zero that is supposed to be such a burden. Other than to oil companies.
Reform will have to reselect in Croydon, as their initial candidate for Mayor had been dead for 6 months when they selected her, Inside Croydon report Being dead is one way to pass the social media vetting but was likely to get noticed eventually insidecroydon.com/2025/08/27/f...
I do get sick posting about Trump, but he’s a global threat of a kind we haven’t seen before. Every single thing he does, every policy, is damaging and they all reach out far beyond America’s borders.
If you are still on X, you are facilitating this guy
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
His own base are stupid and ludicrous. They think this is great.
Imagine not voting for Kamala Harris because eggs were too expensive only to end up with everything being more expensive, losing your health insurance, the military in your neighborhood and a geriatric president ranting about ending 10 wars.
And as the US is finding, an actual constitution is completely worthless.
Absolutely, there is nothing that stops a UK government doing what it wants, if they have the numbers in parliament for it. A lot of what Johnson did was testing the waters to find the leaks in the constitutional dam.
I suspect that somewhere - in Tufton St or elsewhere - there is now a spreadsheet of all the Henry VIII clauses with proposals with what can be done with them.
Imagine if the girl in this photo had brown skin...
🔴 NEW 🔴 Nigel Farage plans to hand a massive fracking windfall to a Trump donor. Reform's policies would allow Lincolnshire to be drilled by a firm whose boss has given money to the past two Trump campaigns. 📝 @desmog.com scoop 👇
Brexit in one picture 🤣
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) caught on hot mic saying felon Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files and wants the case files of the convicted sex offender made public. “We need to release it. I have no problem releasing it,” #EpsteinFiles www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaig...
It’s not going away!!
NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice to target Democrats. Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) joins the podcast to discuss Trump’s threat to the immigrant community, the federal takeover in D.C. and the GOP’s refusal to do their job. youtu.be/-9GqHs09QcY
Please don’t let there me photos or cctv 🤮 #farage #fromage
And all entertainment series eventually jump the shark and it all goes downhill from there.
Because he is "newsworthy" through controversy, and also a Farage led government would be very controversial and "newsworthy", so they want to install him as PM to a/ prove that the media are in charge, 2/ have controversial news articles to write going forward.
I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers
