Starmer too busy sucking up to Trump. Lammy fishing with Vance. Both obsessed with protecting Israel at any cost to our freedoms. Labour openly supporting war crimes. Police arresting peaceful people.

Police too busy arresting & harassing people who care about genocide & kids being murdered. But that is what Starmer wants - at all costs defend Israel - fuck everything else.

An investigation by the wonderful @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals that a growing group of Tommy Robinson supporters have formed a violent anti-Islam network which shares downloadable terrorism manuals and has links to established neo-Nazi organisations and a Russian hacker collective.

Imagine how different it would all be if, rather than aping Farage, Labour had worked from day one to establish safe routes, set up processing centres in France, process applications, and softly defuse the asylum issue.

Ah, my birthday present 📗 🌺 Do summer evenings get much better than wandering local streets recording 95 species in 2 small urban roads? Including chia (which had us foxed until AI saved us). Even my trusty 'smell' test didn't help the ID of chia.

I’m still digesting the detail. But let one thing remain clear: The removal of jury trial from thousands of accused people is being proposed not from principle. Nor necessity. But because successive governments - of all parties - chose to take a chainsaw to the justice system.

Trump spent 75 minutes on the phone with Putin. He praised him, talked about teaming up on Iran, but apparently never called on him to stop targeting innocent civilians. What a disgraceful way to treat our allies and the brave people of Ukraine.
