So they're proposing using taxpayers money to pay actual terrorists to take back people who have fled from them? That's not sensible, it's senseless, cruel and all round fucking ridiculous.

I want nothing to do with the Green Party under this hardline 'populist' who wants to take us out of NATO.
Well said Stewart 👏
The Green Party has truly fallen with the Election of a hard line "populist" as its leader. He will bring down the Green Party just like Corbyn brought down the Labour Party
What's the betting he voted for Brexit and wants to leave the ECHR because it has the word "European" in it.
😔
I'm sure Farage is proud.
Will happily wave #JeremyClarkeson off from the airport. Push of #Clarkson and don't come back. Sick of these Z list celeb 'personalities' who don't want to pay their tax dues.
Will happily wave him off at the airport.
Goodbye #GreenParty. Going down the hardline #Populist route will lead to the party's downfall. #NeverGreenParty #NeverTory #NeverReformUK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Worth a read, explainer on the ECHR tl;dr * Founded after WW2 to protect human rights, the rule of law and democracy * All of Europe is a member except Russia and Belarus * Drafted by a British Tory MP * UK first country to ratify * Required by the GFA and the TCA/UK-EU deal @ukandeu.bsky.social
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
😁
What the heck is he wearing!

Yikes! 😮
Housing, Infrastructure & Living Standards in the new session of Parliament • Planning and Infrastructure Bill • Renters’ Rights Bill • Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill Labour act. 👍
Just heard a General talking about this Norway deal. We beat a lot of other bidding countries. Our team did the best job. It means the North Atlantic is safer and will be the best served with state of the art sub detecting capability. Well done Labour
Has the Kremlin's hallmarks all over it.

So now Starmer explaining the immigration policy is him having a go at migrants. Make up your minds.Not all of you will be pleased with how it’s done and thats life. They will do it humanely and cost effective Dont like it then you will never be pleased Reform want to round them up and sent to die.
www.itv.com/news/2025-09... Some good changes, including the inestimable Darren Jones & new communications adviser 👍
The government focus is “relentless delivery on our Plan for Change”. Darren Jones as Chief Secretary to PM will drive progress in key policy areas. World-leading economist Baroness Minouche Safik has been appointed as Prime Minister’s Chief Economic Advisor. labourlist.org/2025/09/star...
The government has launched a programme of 30 free hours of childcare a week, covering children from 9 months until school age. The policy expands free school meals to families on universal credit, and caps branded school uniform items. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
Personally, I don't see Starmer standing down before the next General Election - I think he wants to see the job of PM though to the end of the term.
Would really like to see Darren Jones as a future Labour leader/PM
My thoughts exactly.
This is good news.
My thinking exactly. He's definitely a future Labour leader/PM
I can see Darren Jones as a future Labour leader.
Science & scientists have little value in the US. They are met with unqualified climate change deniers, antivaxers who research is conspiracy theories. In fact they don't know the meaning of research. If you don't know the meaning of science live in a cave & eat berries.
“Farage the populist offers chaos as clarity. Where Starmer requires patience and trust, Ref UK offers a sugar rush of excitement. They give immediate, emotionally satisfying answers that dissolve under even the lightest scrutiny yet feel undeniably good in the moment”
Damn! Obviously I didn't wish hard enough 😉
While the country moves forward,reform and racists want to pull you back a few centuries and kneel before Farage and lick his toes 🤢🤢 Those people are the problem in this country. Yes you fckn are,scum.
'Concerned families'...🤔 Oh, and it's not the Britannia Hotel. Oh, and the Police yelled numerous warnings to people to get back. Oh, and why are these 'concerned parents' bringing along their kids to act as human shields?
😁
Superb article from @bearlypolitics.co.uk. Just don't let your cat read it. www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/chaos-cupb...
Love this stuff from Bear.
excellent synopsis from a Legal expert on why the claim "leaving the ECHR won't affect the GFA" is like claiming rain is not wet. 👇
Yeah Nig,the man of the people. Go fck yourselves reform scum.

Ugh
#smallboat crossings for August 2025 are at their lowest since 2019 - under a #LabourGovernment.
This is a lie on an absolutely colossal scale - the figures show that tariff revenue has increased by $20 billion/month - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... would take over 30 years to reach $8 trillion at this rate
Agreed. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
Exactly. Spot on 👏
Polanski - the man who claimed he could make women's breast bigger by hypnosis - in my view, that's a sign of a Con Man.

If people are looking for a place to protest (peacefully, of course), look no further than Tory HQ and the constituency offices of many past Tory Ministers - including Braverman, Jenrick Sunak and this one 👇. They caused this mess.
This is why #Laboyr's #WorkersRights #Bill is the way to go. ‘All the power is with the employer’: why zero-hours workers welcome Labour’s rights bill www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Absolutely.
They ought to be charged with terrorism www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Have a lovely holiday.
“Did you come here on a rubber boat? Ban the immigrants.” This was what a British NHS nurse of Filipino descent and her family faced on a walk in the park in Halifax, according to this account from the Mail. Rhetoric has consequences. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
The people who believe that Climate Change is a hoax, who do they think is behind the hoax and what is it that they think they stand to gain?
So sorry to hear this Stephen. Sending love. Take care of yourself. ❤️
I think that’s the point of Reform & the Conservatives wanting to leave the ECHR. A country in ruins is easier to control
It's nearly Conference time ..... can't wait
Can't help but think of those Big Brother is Watching posters from Orwell's 1984.

Police Scotland have warned the public not to share misinformation about an incident in Dundee involving a 12-year-old girl after online speculation was amplified by Elon Musk and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... #bbcpm
What the hell was a girl aged 12 doing being in possession of an offensive weapon!
'Odd' to think the likes of Grimes wanted not one, but two Police investigations into Starmer's legal beer and curry, yet now he is worried about people wasting Police time... Rank hypocrisy on his part? 🤔
What's this? More support for Grangemouth, something many people still scream isn't happening! This time another round of skills training in areas like renewable energy & turbine engineering to support those affected by the closure of the refinery. Similar schemes also run in Port Talbot. 1/2
The #ElectricCarGrant Scheme is an excellent incentive from this Government.
We (or rather my hubby) has ordered a new small EV (to replace an aged diesel which is being passed on) and was eligible for the Electric Car Grant.
The Chancellor speaks out against trickle down economics! A view she has long held, if you look at what she has said before. Many somehow like to claim otherwise!
I feel so much potential is being lost.
There is an alarming up tick in the amount of young people - roughly one in eight people aged 16-24 - who are NEETS - Not in Employment, Education or Training. This is not good for the country and is certainly not good for them.
Hunt makes an interesting point. I do think there should be reform of Special Educational Needs and disabilities system as it is too complicated and not fit for purpose. Overdiagnosis of children overlooks that growing up is ‘messy and uneven’, says Jeremy Hunt www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Under a #ReformUK Government expect to see a "shutting down of #Democracy". Forget having a #PressFreedom, forget having #FreedomOfExpression, forget #FreedomToProtest. Under #ReformUK you will have #NoHumanRighta.
So #ReformUK are already going full on Fascism and shutting down the local #PressFreedom and #FreeSpeech. Reform council’s Nottingham Post ban a ‘massive attack on local democracy’ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This.
Disrespectful Ed.
This isn't about patriotism. It's about nationalism, and that's a different beast. There's no genuine "respect" behind putting up these flags. Quite the opposite. Those doing this are weaponising the flag to spread division. That's ultimately disrespectful to the flag www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
It is also considered to be a safety concern.
Painting flags on public property is illegal. Affixing flags to public lampposts in the UK without consent is an offence under the Highways Act
Good. Road markings are there for a reason - to aid drivers and road users. They are NOT there for the #HardRightwing to turn into #anti-migrant propaganda. To fly a flag legally, use a proper flagpole (NOT lamp-posts) or display flags on private property/land. onthewight.com/portsmouth-c...
No doubt she supports Farage's plan. She's had totally radicalised herself.
“Farage’s biggest victory was Brexit, it made him the most consequential politician of the last decade. But as public opinion has turned, some argue Labour should confront Reform on Brexit. Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds did so this morning” morningcall.substack.com/p/morning-ca...?
#FarageTheFascist is already walking back on his vow to deport all #smallboat arrivals to the #UK. He is taking his supporters and voters for fools they appear to be. Nigel Farage rolls back on vow to deport all small-boat arrivals to the UK www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
She is a nasty piece of work and she got what she deserved.
Glad to see Keir Starmer defending the UK’s - and his - longstanding commitment to human dignity in the face of fashionable right wing extremism and the panicked knee jerkery of some “senior Labour figures” who really should know better.
Agree ! Thank you .
I miss Obama. He didn't always get it correct and he certainly wasn't perfect (no one is) but my goodness he was the personification of a statesman.
The far left are at equal pegging with the far right.
Me either - I apply liberal use of the Block facility for those that spout such utter ridiculousness.
Hang on a fucking second. Fartrage and the media are frothing at the mouth and stiring up anti migrant/asylum rhetoric yet look at this government published data. This is data for year end June 2025. Now look closely
This. The mere fact that #Farage and #ReformUK are willing to give taxpayers money to a proscribed, international terrorist organisation known as the #Taliban must surely rule them out as legally unsuitable to hold high office.
The constitution of the United Kingdom provides for two - perhaps three - super-powers for governments with a firm majority in the House of Commons. The first super-power is the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy. The second super-power is the Royal Prerogative. davidallengreen.com/2025/08/yes-...
Bit difficult when the Consitition is not a written Constitution.
The irony ...
“We tried listening to him. His probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.” @rafaelbehr.bsky.social spot on on Farage.
I'm a pensioner, it wasn't us whining about the changes to WFP. You've got a very short memory, this is what happened in the first 6 months of the Blair government. Labour has already completed or is in the process of completing 69% of its manifesto pledges. Blair said make the bad decisions first.
