There is so much more to say. Some of it here. We cannot let this lie. It's not politics. It's not ideology. It's not a culture war. It's a question of basic humanity. A man is dead. And he should be alive. And maybe he still would be. If it wasn't for us. ENDS

This is important too from @thenerve.news. If you read that viral news piece from one anonymous student reproduced in Unherd, Times & Telegraph & pumped out as FB/Insta ads, you need to read this. What Professor Jason Arday's students actually thought: www.thenerve.news/p/jason-arda...

Had to disable comments on clip of me talking about Jason Arday yesterday on lbc because of sheer volume vile comments suggesting (just as they did with George Floyd) that he ‘deserved’ it. I think Black people are getting pretty sick of the ‘be perfect or expect us to kill you’ routine.

I remain incredulous about the extent to which people just parrot ‘WhYdOnThEyStAyInFrAnCe?’ whenever the question of asylum seekers is raised without apparently doing the most cursory of research, thinking about it for more than 3 seconds or indeed caring about the answer.

I know most of you don’t need to be reminded of this but George Floyd was murdered BY a police officer. The police treatment of Henry Nowak, shocking and in need to investigating as it was, isn’t directly comparable.

Everyone sensible is deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism AND Islamophobia in the U.K. By only reporting on one, the media foster resentment. There is a good argument to say the British media are making antisemitism worse - doing a disservice to both communities.

You've watched us do this. You have a free preview of the grim and terrible ending. Knowing didn't save us. It might save you. Get organised. You're further along the curve than we were in 2014. Good luck. You're going to need it. — @therickwilson.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/05/08/r... 12/12

Can we STOP pretending Trump has a plan?! The imbecile has just increased Iran’s leverage, Made life worse for all of us, …all because he’s a thick AF egomaniac and Netanyahu’s little lapdog.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Question for you… 700+ killed by Israel in Gaza during “ceasefire” 250+ killed by Israel in Lebanon during “ceasefire” Would any other country enjoy the “ceasefire” label while massacring this many people? …we all know the answer by now.

So high on the racism, misogyny & climate change denial that they can *never* admit their man is all the things the people with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ said he was.

Jim Acosta testified before Congress today warning that a pending merger could hand CNN to Trump-aligned billionaires. He’s never stopped speaking truth to power, even when it cost him. We’re grateful someone is still saying it out loud. Share if you believe in a free press. @jimacosta.bsky.social

A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids… Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis And yet when they’re Palestinians… Utterly utterly shameful.

Lets' brace ourselves... Our cost of living is about to rise. Again. Food. Petrol. Mortgages. Why? Because Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein files and another opportunity to make himself and his billionaire mates even richer And the result?

I’ve written to @bafta.org seeking clarity following this year’s ceremony. This is not about blaming anyone with Tourette’s. It’s about understanding how a racist slur was broadcast to the nation despite a 2 hour delay, while other remarks were edited out. Transparency matters.

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE. The work continues.

Badenoch was disgraceful at #PMQs today. People are terrified about the war in the Middle East. What was needed was a mature respectful exchange. It shouldn’t have been an opportunity for her to try and score cheap points about the welfare state whilst baying for escalation no one wants.

My thoughts are with Nurul Amin Shah Alam's family and loved ones after this devastating tragedy. No one who comes here seeking refuge should be left in harm’s way. My office is reviewing our legal options.

Democratic governors, what Trump and Vance are doing to Minnesota, they're going to do to you. It's all a test case. Your leadership is weak, feckless, pathetic and spineless. Will you stand up and fight or will you just wait for your turn next?

There’s no serious debate left: the overwhelming evidence and convictions make clear that Jeffrey Epstein ran a pedophile ring. The real question is why some still convince themselves, and others that he didn’t.

The BBC should never have aired the N-word racist slur, directed at Michael B Jordan & Delroy Lindo. It had a two-hour delay! This is painful & unforgivable. I've requested an urgent explanation.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
