'This country needs migrants' Zack Polanski, the new leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, speaks to #BBCBreakfast about his views on immigration
This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.
Happy hump day lovely phone family. How are you all? 🐈 My social media feeds are turning into swamps of bigotry and hatred, so when this popped up, it was like a little message from the universe. There are more good people in this world than bad ones 🥰 Have a fabulous day 🌷 #HaveCourageAndBeKind ❤️
The Casey Commission, set up to map a blueprint for a National Care Service and due to report next year, has begun its work under intense pressure from Carers Trust not to “squander the opportunity for once in a generation”. Can it solve adult social care? Here are the issues:
Ukraine has been focusing on Russian radars and air defense systems in Crimea. Is Ukraine going to take another shot at that bridge soon?
Trump's latest two week deadline for Russia to make progress on ending the war has come and gone again. The Russians are saying they never agreed for Putin to meet with Zelensky.
Wow. Didn't even knew you were on Bluesky. I am a big fan of work. Have a great evening.
Can’t wait for these problems to hit Moscow, Russia will do anything it can to avoid such problems in the major population centres.
The fuel crisis in the Russian controlled territories is getting worse. People are now siphoning out gas from cars parked on the streets.
I had to put on a raincoat today. It’s the first time my forearms have been covered since May. I’m surprisingly sad about this.
Killing 11 Venezuelans in an attempt to create a bigger story than the Trumpstein files is probably a crime.
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.
The White House has made it clear that any Republicans considering joining Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) in his bipartisan push to force a vote on the full release of the Epstein files will be treated as committing a “very hostile act to the administration,”
There's been a recent concerted effort to wipe out Russian air defense on Crimea with particular attention paid to the radars there. It looks like Ukraine is seeding the inevitable death the Crimean bridge. It's long over due but better late than never.
Russians saying a Ukrainian group came from Sevastopol, some on motorcycles, to the area of Russian military logistics, blew up some things and escsped freely. Crimea is no longer safe for Russians.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
That Pritzker presser? Unreal. A sitting governor saying, flat out, the Union is coming apart and his state is being invaded by an authoritarian regime. This is a whole new level of crisis.
Sing it.
"Nearly a decade on from the Brexit referendum and almost five from when Brexit was supposedly ‘done’, voters who are genuinely happy with the Brexit we have are few and far between, and no political party is seriously suggesting that it’s a success."
Ukraine has been focusing their recent efforts and attacks on radar and air defenses in Crimea. Ukraine is potentially looking to clear a path soon for a mass flamingo cruise missile attack on the Crimean Bridge. Russia's gas shortages have now spread to the occupied territories of Ukraine.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
If Nigel Farage really loved Britain he wouldn't talk it down at every opportunity to a bunch of ill informed right wing American fuckwits who know sweet FA about the reality of this country.
Trump: I am very disappointed in Putin. We will be doing something to help people live.
No. The world does NOT agree on that. For most of the democratic world, that person is Vladimir Putin.
From the latest proof of life video released by the White House, Trump is caked with make up, reporters kept at a distance, voice is weak, and the podium is acting as a walker to help him stand up. It's not looking good health wise.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
America heartbroken to discover president somehow still alive
Well. He’s puffier and oranger than usual. His hair is insane. But that seems pretty normal to me.
Trump is over 20 minutes late to his Oval Office address. Are they unable to reanimate him? lol
👇👇
Political theater.
"If you celebrated justice for Hillsborough, you have to support the European Convention on Human Rights Without article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights the gross negligence behind the deaths at Hillsborough would never have been uncovered"
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
#Ukrainecast - As Vladimir Putin rubs shoulders with Xi Jinping & Narendra Modi in Beijing, the West’s failure to force Russia into peace in Ukraine has rarely been portrayed more starkly Pre-eminent Russia expert Fiona Hill tells us what Europe & US shld do next www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Kemi Badenoch has been spreading misinformation. @PippaHeylings.bsky.social explains how renewable energy is the way forward to lower our energy bills and protect Britain and the environment 👇
It's TACO Tuesday. Again. Liubov and Prez in the bunker. youtu.be/ie3kdjt22tE
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Having a bad day?? Here's a pick me up... 😊 #bluesky #nature #animals
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
So much for the oft-vaunted US 'checks and balances'. It's no good having a constitution if breaches are not punished.
"This is about the one person who can really effect change from Gaza. It's about bringing it to his attention." @WendyChambLD.bsky.social on @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk's decision to boycott Trump's State Dinner
Hi All, I'm asking for a bit of feedback on Bearly Politics. If you have a moment, I would appreciate if you could click at a few polls. Thank you, as ever, 🐻 open.substack.com/pub/iratusur...
Most of the UK do not realise that we are at war. Russia is definitely at war with us, even if we don't know it.
Russia is engaged in a new kind of Total War: From Child Abduction to Cyber Attacks and Drones to Disinformation. @IoWBobSeely emphasizes the integration of military and non-military tools in modern Russian warfare, and leveraging crimes for advantage. youtu.be/wbkpnXn-yy4
Impressed by his speeches and media handling on day one. He's saying things that need to be said, about equality, society, nationalisation, immigration, environment and - importantly - hope. And he's tearing justifiable chunks out of Farage and Starmer.
I met president of Mongolia and made mistake of mentioning historical ownership of territories...
Zack Polanski, "We have a failing Labour government: two child benefit cap, disability cuts, the genocide in Gaza" "Poor people have got poorer, rich people have got richer. We need a wealth tax, the redistribution of wealth, the funding of our public services" "I despise Nigel Farage's politics"
Surviving Jeffery Epstein: This week we hear from Jess Michaels, a survivor of Epstein's abuse, who exposes both the monster himself and the wider system that affected so many. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqeOt_rNFM
Whatever happened to the anti-racist, pro-migrant, campaigner and human rights lawyer Keir Starmer and why has he vanished just as the far-right return to our streets? bylinetimes.com/2025/09/02/r...
1/ 🧵 Ukraine's long-range precision strikes expose Russia's vulnerability in oil and gas infrastructure. Why Russian air defences fall short and what are the implications of Ukrainian actions on Russia's resources and global energy markets. @general_ben - youtu.be/_-UMzcA3TK0
Ukraine is hitting Russia where it hurts - oil. Russian pipelines are going boom, queues for petrol are lengthening. The Kremlin Tsar finds that Russia’s size, thought to be an advantage, has now turned it into a brittle, vulnerable, indefensible empire. youtu.be/PQb2PCmAwFE
MAGA is now threatening the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to give Donald Trump the prize "if they know what is good for them." America is living in the dumbest timeline now.
Did the Russians poison Trump in Alaska? People are asking the question.
There is no evidence for this aside from the Russians love poisoning people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Gt...

Russia is a literal burning pile of garbage right now.
Ukraine has announced their first operational use of their new Flamingo Cruise Missile against an FSB outpost in Crimea. Ukraine has aggressively been targeting Russia's air defense systems so their new cruise missile can effectively hit their targets. Russia's oil refineries continue to burn.
This has always been my view. 👇🏽
Feels like the flag debate has been kicking around my whole life and it still boils down to: Civic institutions should fly the flag routinely. Sporting occasions and national events, sure get it out. Year round flag on your house, bit weird, trashy. Doing it to "intimidate the forrins", obvs bad
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Telling it like it is, and cutting through.
Trump has the power to end the ongoing killing and famine in Gaza, free the hostages, and push for a lasting peace. As he visits the UK, we must demand he uses that influence to end the crisis.
I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting. To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage. To show Britain is better than this. Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.
Great news! President Trump has ended speculation about his poor health by making his first public appearance in over 5 days… 🇺🇸
Ahh ... do I spy with my little eye @news.sky.com cosying up to the far right - again?
🇩🇪🇭🇺 Germany now sees Orbán’s anti-Ukraine stance as a security threat, - Átlátszó Berlin is considering freezing €43 billion in EU funds and pushing to suspend Hungary’s EU voting rights under Article 7. EU leaders are also weighing ways to bypass Hungary’s veto power.
When we did an Origin Story on Badenoch I kept coming across things she said that didn't add up and I looked forward to some proper investigative reporting. This is exactly that and I think there are more fantasies to be exposed
Next week, Boris Johnson with advice on monogamy. ~AA
OTD in 2014 I said I could conquer Kiev in 2 weeks. I can’t conquer Donbass in 4 years or Kursk in over a year. But I never actually said which 2 weeks. I remain a master strategist.
What will Donald announce today? A. "Russia has just two weeks" B. His successful defection C. A successful defecation D. His recent death E. A new crypto scam
Peak rail fares scrapped on ScotRail trains. Scotland also has: Public ownership of water, lower water bills than England's. No university tuition fees for local students. No prescription charges, abolished in 2011. No two child benefit cap from March 2026. England must follow.
The EU is pushing for stricter documentation from gas importers to prove origin, aiming to enforce its Russian gas ban by 2028. A draft seen by Reuters shows importers may soon need to verify that no Russian gas is mixed in, a move that could reshape LNG flows and compliance across Europe.
80% of murders in England and Wales are committed by white English males.
Related to Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax? The former Tory MP?
Over half a million children to benefit from funded childcare The government has delivered its pledge to fund childcare for 30 hours a week – saving parents £7,500 a year per child, and putting more money in their pockets www.gov.uk/government/n...
This is a positive big development that should have dominated the UK news. What on earth has happened to Labour Comms?
And Ludwig, while you're at it!
In Clacton, the search for Nigel Farage enters its 424th day.
I don’t think there’s a woman I have more respect for than Angela Rayner. Who else do we know who left school at 16 & had a baby, worked as a carer, got involved with Unions, worked her way up keeping all her authenticity and ended up as Deputy PM of the 6th largest economy 👍
The Home Office's own (excellent) research summary says a) asylum seekers come to the UK primarily because of social networks/ties b) welfare and labour market policies are *not* a big "pull factor" c) safe routes would help freemovement.org.uk/wp-content/u...
When the grown-ups arrive, they can explain why briefing against people who know a lot of things about you and whom you've just fired is not actually very smart.

Overt racism on our streets, flags as threats, Reform strutting around like they’re in power already, toxic radicalisation by Musk on X, politicians howling to leave the ECHR and to hell with the consequences… How can the govt just meekly nod along? FFS and for all our sakes, stand up to this shit.
I think they are planning to do the same thing they do here in Switzerland. Family reunions after being granted asylum is only possible after 2 years to give the refugees time to get work and become financially stable.
If you think the bruises on Donald's hands are bad from last week, you should see his knees from Alaska.
In support of Trump's peace efforts, Russia will continue the war.
To help Trump achieve peace, Russia will keep invading. To prevent peace, Ukraine will keep defending.
Do not believe anything until the Kremlin denies it™️
Thank you!
