Tice & Reform are pushing the “protecting women” narrative strongly. More on tomorrow’s @quietriotpod.bsky.social. I reread their contract/festo. The word “women” appears just 3 times, each only in context of “service men and women”. They are not protecting our rights, but seeking to subjugate us.

Ann kind of called @zackpolanski.bsky.social a communist at one stage! Let's hope next time they need to take 'deputy' off the caption when he's on screen Great shift put in this morning by Zack! #BackZack at backzack.com Join.greenparty.org.uk
Spent two hours with Ann Widdecombe this morning - quite the experience. Disagreed on pretty much everything. Great to expose that Reform pretends to represent working class communities, but it's billionaires they're really serving. With Rob Rinder on 5.

www.jpost.com/opinion/arti... I'm sure you'll all be interested in this article by Jon Pearce, new MP for High Peak and Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. Who went to Israel after the ICC case and then wrote this. Our Government is complicit in genocide and shouting it from the fucking rooftops.

532 arrests of pacifists and protestors by a police force charged with keeping the UK safe. I wonder how many crimes went unsolved because police were seconded from elsewhere www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

And people still think this government are better than the Tories. Is there a life they haven’t made worse?
The policies set out in this government's immigration white paper go further than the previous government's on creating a hostile environment for migrants. It will see so many people who have built lives here suddenly finding those lives utterly destroyed. www.bbc.com/news/article...

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children” We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

If they ask me what radicalised me I'll tell them. It was 9th Aug when the police arrested a blind disabled man for peacefully protesting a #genocide. Go fuck yourself @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social, Fuck the Labour Party, fuck Labour friends of fucking Israel and Labour together. Shame on you all

Probably the key stat is that 1 in 6 people IN the UK are born overseas. So they are less likely that Brits born in Britain to become criminals. Where is the responsible journalism @ipso.co.uk - there's got to be the limit to the non-stop nonsense Shame on you, @mattdathan.bsky.social

The hotspots are getting hotter as more people sign. We want all our parties to get coverage not just one over and over and over again. The Reform propaganda fest has to end. Sign and get others to sign. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

⚠️ An unregulated "Safeguard Force" set up to protect Bournemouth raises serious concerns about "vigilantes" acting on personal or ideological agendas - and sets a very dangerous precedent.

Arresting Quakers, former Guantanamo inmates, blind disabled activists... This is the largest political mass arrest since the Poll Tax Riots 35 years ago. A government for nobody, hated by everyone, cowering behind a thin blue line. Pathetic. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Narrator: Sadly though, SCOTUS has now exempted the president from the founders’ intent to criminalize bribery.
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Ex Reform UK MP sounds alarm on “migrant dinghy” 113 miles from Calais. Turns out it’s just four dedicated rowers raising cash for charity. Oops! Read their reaction to it ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @owensennitt.bsky.social

365 arrests How many far right protestors have been arrested? And for the pedants, there are a number of laws under which they could be arrested.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.
Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.
