BBC report sanitises the overt racism: It notes that organisers warned marchers not to talk to journalists, then gives the "anti-immigration group"'s own sanitised description of itself. It does not report they chanted "England for the white man" in the streets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kent Anti-Racism network organised a counter-protest today to register local disapproval of a smaller v ugly Herne Bay march by the maximally racist "Kent Nationalist Movement" who shouted "England for the White Man" and "Remigration Save Our Nation" into a loudhailer www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"maggie's farm" is a lot funnier if you imagine the entire thing being delivered as an interview answer to "so, mr. dylan, why are you looking to move on from your current job?"

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

There are bombshells and there's this www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Sorry but it's not a lottery: if it were the link between how hard things are for kids and where they live would be random. But it's not. True, there are some poorer places where things aren't too bad. But overall there's a significant correlation between living in a poorer area and poor provision.

El-Sayed is going to forced to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood at least a dozen times more before the midterms. The point is clearly not the answer. The point is the question. It's basically push-polling.

Why do you go to a concert if you’re just going to loudly talk through all the songs?

How mainstream journalism sanitized MAGA's weaponization of justice against the Minnesota Democrat.

Went to see Digger and thought it was good. #moviereview #diggermovie

Another Reform councillor in South London called for the King to be decapitated for being a secret Muslim. Reform say they are taking disciplinary action against a small number of councillors who do not share their values. I believe both would be welcome in Restore www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Increasingly likely that if Texas does not go blue, it is because of stuff like this. This is the fundamental problem of American democracy at this moment--one party does not think that losing is normal and should be accepted. Democracy requires all parties accept electoral defeats.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Ukraine did the world a huge favour blowing up one of Russia's bot farms, but it's only the tip of the iceberg. Twitter needs removed from the world's stage and all other social media needs regulated like any other publisher. Until that happens, nothing changes

How it’s going

All Trump’s overseas assets should be frozen. Hotels. Golf courses. Offshore accounts. Should not be permitted to enter the territories of the countries that are parties to ICC.

The Cupertino pilot is so good and this show should be able to run for a century on the quality plus the foundational premise of a law firm that exclusively fights against big Silicon Valley companies.

After ICE’s deadly surge in Minneapolis, Trump’s new DHS secretary said: “My goal in six months is that we’re not in the lead story every single day.” Jose Olivares from @us.theguardian.com takes us inside ICE’s more secretive new strategy. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

This is Nazi rhetoric

Sadly very accurate!

There's growing experimental evidence¹˒²˒³˒⁴ that LLMs are unusually good at talking people out of entrenched false beliefs and conspiracy theories. ¹ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39264999/ ² pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41179846/ ³ sciety.org/articles/act... ⁴ connecticut.adl.org/resources/re...

Republicans used to hide behind “dog whistle racism” - this is full on CLOWN HORN RACISM

A great colour shot from 1961, with a number 9 Yoker tram passing Lewis's on Argyle St. Car geeks, is that a Vauxhall Victor? 🤔 📷 Jensen-lc #Glasgow #history #trams

Badging this article by LK as "InDepth" is grimly amusing: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I cannot think of one good reason they could have for doing this. Nor even a bad one. They should fix it.

Also helps you understand that political corruption isn't buying votes, it's buying attention, buying prioritization

counterpoint: no

How it started/how it’s going

Half a century old today. And it still sounds brilliant.

I remember the day after Brexit. I watched British-born women, doctors and nurses in hijabs being told “we voted for you to go home”. They were home. So spare me the fucking revisionism about what that moment unleashed. 🧵

Gabby Agbonlahor dead right on talkSPORT to bemoan City snaffling Gareth Barry, James Milner and Fabian Delph from Villa. Only Arsenal (four) lost more first-teamers to City in period of the main charges (2009-18). Everton lost three as well All were fighting near the top and had their stars nabbed

Millionaires who breathlessly announce that they are leaving the country because a social policy subject risks mildly inconveniencing them should never be allowed back over the border.

We’ve all been constantly clamoring to hear about, and from, the Emanuel brothers, and the press is finally catching on

Another discussion about what Labour should think and how it relates to its voters and hard not to think about Thatcher slamming her copy of Hayek down, saying "this is what we believe". Maybe they did but I don't think anyone there said OK we polled Hayek and the key voters have never heard of him

Yeah, justice. Fairness. Consequences. Appalling. Think of the mess.

Your regular reminder that UK taxes are average by western standards and low on middle-earners. Labour figures, especially, should not fall into the trap of pretending that we have a “high” tax burden and that taxes are to blame for the living standards crisis. www.arguably.uk/p/the-tax-tr...

“I think in the end [Trump] is saying, ‘The White House is my castle, and I can let in who I want, and I can throw out who I want… without consulting anybody.’” – @rparloff.bsky.social on Trump’s motivations for the White House press ban lnk.to/onthemedia/b...
