Interesting Media not picked this up. Our Mayor's promotional video goes hard on smelly people. Imagine the carnival of reaction if Zack Polanski denounced smelly people

The actual President of the United States posted an AI video of himself, copying (mocking) the recent tragic death of a man in the UK by a tiger. The ending has changed, of course, likely an attempt to make him look brave and funny. In fact, he's repulsive, utterly reprehensible & devoid of morals.

“So this is another key test for Burnham. Will he allow the mob rule of private business to keep dominating our lives, or will he ensure that government is for the people?”

Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

There is NO evidence that asylum seekers pose a particular risk to women. There is NO data showing they are any more dangerous than any other man. And no, memes and random highly manipulated graphs on social media don't count! Every time a claim surfaces suggesting otherwise, it is debunked🤷‍♀️

In reality, their biometric data (which doesn't rely on their ID or documents!) is checked against: Immigration, Security and Criminality databases They are checked for: Convictions Pending prosecutions Wanted or missing reports. So not "unchecked" Wanted murderers will be picked up!👍🏻 4/

Harborne and Farage are up to their armpits in this crypto money laundering swamp. Why is the UK government not taking action against Tether?

It’s not that Kemi Badenoch isn’t reading the room, it’s that the room she’s reading is the dining hall in the workhouse from Oliver Twist, while she and her friends sit in armchairs around a fire, delivering morally improving lectures to the paupers.

Too bad that there isn't a SoS at the Home Office more interested in communicating the true picture on asylum seeker arrivals, rather than letting the RW media get in a lather about 781 refugees arriving yesterday. Barely a fucking word from the media on how much lower the figures are vs Tory years.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

Two billionaires give Reform £36m each. UK politics is cheap, compared to the US. The Tories have been given £10m so far in 2026, Labour £7m. This is the will of two men being imposed on an entire country donation.watch/en/unitedkin...

A day after the mass Trans + Lobby of said government. Politely asking for our rights appears to be not enough. The UK government here is willfully choosing to escalate their war on trans + people.

Why does Kemi Badenoch need a six-bedroom farmhouse second home? That would house two working families with four kids each. Meanwhile pensioners, nurses, teachers and carers support this public money freeloader (aka posh benefit scrounger) through their taxes.

Never mind free market Conservatism. More like freeloading Conservatism from Kemi Badenoch. The Tory leader claims £2,700 per month (£32.4k a year) for her 2nd home in Essex 50 miles from Westminster. And she claims £4,000 a year council tax on expenses. www.essexlive.news/news/essex-n...

The usual links to *foreign* hard RW Christian Nationalist organisations, include the Heritage Foundation (through the Edmund Burke Foundation) who use Trump to push the evil 'Project 2025' in the US. You know, mass deportations, giving women's votes to their husbands/fathers, etc. Grim.

The irony is that the RNLI seldom get called out to rescue asylum seekers as that is mainly done by HM Border Force. The RNLI mostly rescue British people.

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

Personally, I'd quite like to hear Andy Burnham say something - or preferably do something - about Neo-Nazis, racists, fascists and domestic abusers blockading ports, attacking the police and doxing RNLI crews. #StopTheBlokes

The BBC should never be forgiven for being one of the major players in the laundering of Nigel Farage and Reform UK as a credible operator, rather than the whining liar that he is, or the criminal he appears to be. #BBCLauraK
