Great explainer: The ECHR is protecting everyone in the UK 🚨 "Reform has touted its plan as a 'legal reset'. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction." https://bit.ly/3JYzaI8

The words aren’t.
Can’t even say white bread anymore.

Again - the reason that the Good Friday Agreement locks in the ECHR is that the UK had repeatedly been held accountable by the European Court of Human Rights for human rights breaches during the Troubles - while national courts had failed to do so, even upholding miscarriages of justice
Haha 😛
You just know this is because of the bread lefties. She’s fucking demented.
No!
He’s still not dead yet. 🙄
Elon Musk is a very dangerous man.
You’d never hear anything like that normally from me but as you say, this is an exception.
Yvette Cooper says UK is “taking immediate action to rescue children who have been seriously injured in the horrendous onslaught on civilians in Gaza so they can get the health treatment they need.” 👏👏👏
Let's not forget that the hotels are a symptom of the Tories purposely not processing claims to create a backlog. The hotels should not exist.

@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of B4B: “In 30 pages, the Good Friday Agreement cites the ECHR seven times as an essential safeguard and so these claims look like a wilful misinterpretation of a treaty that ended decades of bloodshed in the UK and Ireland." https://bit.ly/461k8cf
Colin Talbot, an emeritus professor of politics at the University of Manchester: “I went through Reform’s national policy statements and they had no policies whatsoever on local government. Nothing at all." https://bit.ly/4p6QHy8
I find Keir Starmer, profoundly depressing on this subject. He has been catastrophically weak.
For months now, the vast majority of the UK print and broadcast media have engaged in a round-the-clock campaign of stochastic terrorism against immigrants. The results of that campaign are coming to fruition.
The narrative Rylan is just saying what ‘real’ people think. They’ve had enough. 🙄 Lineker is an out of touch leftie who supports Hamas. 🙄
🤣
I could live with it.
I've just learned that (Reform-run) Durham County Council have rejected a resident's request for anonymity in reporting this complaint against Darren Grimes. Resident's response to the council below: bylinetimes.com/2025/08/29/r...
There is a video going round. I posted similar yesterday?
Because he’s saying what many say who don’t have any political experience. That’s the latest nonsense being spouted.

You don’t need outside experts to check what Jack Straw and Policy Exchange are claiming here. You can just read the public text of the Good Friday Agreement to see it relies upon ECHR membership. If the UK leaves, the agreement either needs renegotiating, or it’s been breached. It’s that simple.
Ursula von der Leyen’s plane was forced to land in Bulgaria and use paper maps after suspected Russian GPS jamming disabled its navigation, the FT reports.

"Rylan is not an ideologue. He is exactly the sort of person the government should be talking to." Rylan's migrant rant was full of far-right misinformation – and the government is to blame for its shocking lack of effort to control UK conversation on asylum seekers
A fully trained, experienced healthcare professional. Like we can afford to lose them? This country has a sickness.
Hmm I still think he has health problems though?
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
Next leader of the Labour Party imo.
The ECHR is essential to the Belfast Agreement. @pimlicat: “The radical right is playing on fears around immigration to remove protections from all UK citizens and Northern Ireland’s historic agreement may only be the first casualty if the UK Government doesn’t hold firm.”
BBC using the phrase 'approved asylum seekers' today. It's technically correct I suppose, but emotionally barren - taking a word that inspires sympathy and turning it into a dead administrative phrase. They are refugees.
Brexit - the gateway drug to a dangerous obsession with immigration - next come deportation schemes, #Farageriots, increasing authoritarianism, overt racism from politicians and media, cruelty as policy, leaving the ECHR… On and on. Relentless, ruinous failure. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Yeah i know, hard to find isn’t it? I can’t remember where I saw it originally.
Erm, that’s all Labour has been talking about? Maybe it’s the media that is the problem?
😆
This is utterly heartbreaking. People like Rylan, the media and many politicians need to stop the hate and lies! This is the lady who was racially abused by the old couple at the weekend.

Imagine being so ‘patriotic’ you spend your Saturday vandalising roundabouts like Temu Banksy. NHS underfunded, schools crumbling, but don’t worry — we’ve got freshly glossed patriotism between Tesco and the A46.
Washington this week. 🥺
It’s time for coordinated EU27 plus the UK action to close X down. It’s a threat to national security. A threat to civil society and a platform for the far right. The U.K. can’t do it on its own - but with coordinated action across this continent we can make Europe safer.
No, they’ll ignore that Owen and just look at the amount of ‘foreign, ie brown people’ in hospital beds.
I disagree, people say about ‘human rights’. They say they need to stay in the country or not be deported because of ‘human rights’?! The law is being abused and they use the excuse of ‘human rights’. People just don’t think about what it means, it’s all emotion.
Morning Bluesky. China’s navy is now bigger than the US.
🙏🙏🙏
🤣🤣🤣
White Australians marching at the weekend about immigration??? You could not make it up.
I'm honestly tired of hearing about immigration. There are far more pressing issues going on, but the media has managed to convince people that immigration is the only thing people should care about. Looking forward to the end of the Parliamentary recess so that Labour can talk about something else.
No!
Bless Alf Dubs. 92 years old and still arguing for the rights of refugees, 86 years after he came to the UK. Wouldn’t it be nice if our politicians could regain some humanity and Alf Dubs could retire. Not looking likely, though, is it? #r4today
I hoping he kicks the bucket before the state visit? That would be a result wouldn’t it?
I think you’re buying into the hype? Maybe you want to? Well over 70% off applications are found to be valid and they are under stringent requirements. The rest are sent back? What’s your problem?
Are you being serious or is this sarcasm?
Small boat crossings for August were at their lowest for 4 years.
💯 Dear government AND right wing controlled MSM. Most of us are not racists, or homophobic, misogynistic bullies. Can you, FFS, please represent the majority of decent people and not the greedy 1% of oligarchs/ billionaires who control and dictate this divisive, racist narrative?
Good!
Arrests after alleged racist attacks on health care worker www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yo...
Carswell is in the same camp as Farage and Jenrick and all the other dismal, dull-arsed Reform/Tory hatemongers trying to create social division and civil unrest for their own power. No more hanging back. Anyone who genuinely cares about society and decency must stand up to this.
Keir Starmer should ignore the opinion polls and focus on what he thinks is right for the country, a leading pollster has said The PM doing what he thinks will work while upholding his values will give him the best chance of victory, ex-YouGov President Peter Kellner told @zoecrowther.bsky.social
Britain is not a country of racist bigots. Time for the decent majority to "take back control". Repost if you agree.

The government will do nothing.
If ever there was a reason for the UK establishment to get off X it's now - Musk has shadowbanned 10 Downing Street's X acc This is NOT OK, regardless of who's in power this is possibly the most overt & audacious interference in our democratic system to date & a reminder that it's Musk's platform
What a gurning malevolent cunt he turned out to be, really.
This morning’s prize for brazen cheek, hypocrisy, & oiling up to JD Vance’s MAGA nonsense. Whatever happened to Brexiters’ deification of sovereignty…
Maybe just as well, they are vile.
What a goal! #liverpool
Kane Wilson clearly didn’t want to go. Good luck Kane. #dcfc #dcfcfans
😆
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.
I was expecting a South American accent and out comes a northern accent 😆😆
Thank you David Clowes. Thank you 🙏 #dcfc #dcfcfans
😆😆😆😆😆
The mob will be down there trying to free them.
100%
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Harrison Armstrong back. I think they’re starting to free up a loan place by signing Sanderson on a permanent contract? #dcfc #dcfcfans
Oh really? Good stuff
But league 2??? He could’ve got good managers elsewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a troublesome knee injury and they were willing to take a punt on him at that level? It’s hard to believe he has a lack of ambition?
Richard Tice consistently claims to be standing up for "Christian values", on the basis that "we are a Christian nation". If that's your pitch, you can't just tell the Bishops to shut up when they criticise your policies.
This is horrible. These people are emboldened. They know there will be very little comeback. Politicians and the media have much to answer for.
There can be absolutely no “shock” about this. The media has been shamelessly platforming Reform all summer. All summer, we’ve had hate-mongering headlines about immigration. It’s a tedious and grim inevitability that you’ve made people angry enough to want to vote for this shit in response.
Yeah it’s a weird one for sure.
Great piece Jack. 👏👏 🐏

He could’ve got that in loads of other clubs at a higher level. I wonder if he has an issue with his knee because this decision is baffling?
They just aren’t. You’re the extremist.
Mad! League 2!! 🤯 #dcfc #dcfcfans
He will get it back on track with this manager and this club. Derby is perfect for him.
Unfortunately he’s only on loan.
Yeah, none of us were convinced they were doing it for the right reasons…the ‘pink pound’ was what it was all about and now they think they’ll lose money from the fascists?
www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a... Twenty years ago, this was the opposite. LGBTQ people are facing a huge backlash. All started in the US. Frightening times where the LGBTQ are being erased.
The idea that asylum seekers are given phones/iPads originated during the pandemic lockdowns, when they were given them for interview purposes because face-to-face was not allowed. Now, whilst certain charities do hand them out, these are second hand and have nothing to do with the Government.
If you cultists still believe after all this time and the proven GDP and living standards we’ve lost. When the PROOF is there, there’s no hope.
