Apart from Reform and the Tories… Jenrick cannot *ever* be honest about freedom of movement. He was a Tory immigration minister who oversaw a record high in net migration and who voted Remain in 2016. His whole political career is built on scheming bullshit. www.independent.co.uk/voices/andy-...

independent.co.ukEveryone has (finally) stopped pretending freedom of movement is a bad ideaYou can come out from behind the sofa – a prime minister is actually now willing to make the case that temporary, circular European migration might just have been a sensible policy after all, says Ava...

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has endorsed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for governor of Alaska, crossing party lines just one week before the midterms. She urged Republicans, independents, and Democrats to consider the Democratic ticket: “Alaska needs leaders who will put our state first.”

Every Texas bar has that one guy. He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Today Oct 27@ 7:40am masked ICE agents violently abducted two neighbors in Corona and threatened bystanders with pepper spray. This is not normal. NYC will continue to stand up and protect each other. Abolish ICE.

Well, well, well... 80% of "donations" to Nigel Farage’s party are from donors or companies based overseas. This is not normal. And the public deserves to know what these super-rich donors want back in return.

📣 DELIVERED! Thousands signed my petition for a windfall tax on bank super-profits. I’ve now presented it in Parliament. Banks are making billions extra from the same higher interest rates driving up your mortgages and rents. Let’s tax those profits and bail out the people!

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...
