The Chief Constable needs to be challenged on this, as these fascists need locking up Section 1(1) of the Public Order Act 1936 was created due to the rise of fascism, and specifically due to uniformed public rallies by ‘The british Union of Fascists’

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Definitely NOT Better Together

#BBC Radio 4 5pm News considers the radical move to pedestrianise parts of Oxford Street. A spokesperson refers to precedents in other parts of the world eg in South Korea.

Labour about to provide a bull 💩 budget. There may not be direct tax increases via income tax but there will be plenty of other way to tax you. #areyouyesyet #snp #indy #independence

For those in any doubt.

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

This is objectively very very funny

Hey Scotland, this isn’t normal for a country to accept this in any way whatsoever. No wonder other countries think we are mugs!!!!!!

“THE PUBLIC ARE THE BOSSES” according to Burnham….unless it’s the Scottish public 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Uber-unionist Andy Burnham is all for the public deciding on whether or not the uk rejoins the EU, yet Scottish independence is “OFF LIMITS”, no matter that a majority in Scotland support independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Reform thankfully slipping down the polls. But be aware with all those donations a major push to win votes is coming. If you don’t want Reform the only way out is #independence #areyouyesyet #yes #snp #indy #indyref

Suella Braverman, a vocal critic of 'something for nothing culture', has been using taxpayer cash to cover her utility bills. Must be nice...

Well done to Peter Oborne for speaking out about the 'feral' culture of political reporting which has emerged thanks to Boris Johnson's senior advisor, Dominic Cummings.👇 full interview here: www.channel4.com/news/peter-o... Read Peter's article here: www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemoc...

Is Burnham starting to think the only way to stop Scottish #indrpendence is by rejoining the #EU? If you want to be in the #EU then the only guaranteed route is via #indyref2 #areyouyesyet #snp #indy #endtheunion

This could get "interesting". UK reservoirs could run dry before Xmas, requiring water to be brought in from elsewhere. This is reported in the Daily Mail - I know - and so their map excludes Scotland (and NI) from the shortage graphic. Of course, Scotland has no such problem. I wonder why? 1/3

I watched the PM on #GMB this morning & both Gillian & Kevin are right, he comes across as very likeable. But as Kevin says, he's got to walk the talk. And whether its on taxing wealth, nationalising water, an ethical foreign policy, & so on, he's given every indication he's not going to.

A fact!!!!!!!
