"People are allowed to be upset about the level of boats turning up... That is fundamentally different to hundreds of men piling out the back of white vans with their faces covered." @JoeMulhall_ on not conflating "legitimate concerns" with what happened in Dover at the weekend.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

For me I find the numerous "jokes" about how the millionaire could give them personally a few quid. Really undignified begging, by people eating in Claridges.

Why is it that our ‘impartial’ national broadcaster is currently showing the annual conference of a political party with less than 10 MPs live on a main tv channel? Outrageous bias. Would the Lib Dem’s with many more MPs be offered this platform. No. TheTories? No. Shame on the BBC

This is *too much* devolution.

What a psychopath

Simply would not say this if I looked like a Nazi Mekon.

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

In uncertain times, you need spiritual insurance. Eel insurance. Emma de Beaufoe (d. 1256) knew. In her will, she left 400 eels each year to Blackborough Priory. The eels bought prayers for the souls of Emma, & her friend(?) Isabelle Freville. Salvation is slippery. Bring eels.

Telling your followers to burn down hotels with asylum seekers in them is "hurty words". But Dan Hodges doing a few tweets is grounds to call the police.

Funnily enough I don't remember Andrew ever expressing these concerns the last four times a Conservative MP became Prime Minister outside of a general election.

I guess the difference would be that war criminals don't get to avoid a trial by calling a by-election against a bin

Notice how everything is an ‘establishment hit job’ for Nigel Farage? …almost like ‘the establishment’ is what he calls anyone who asks him a question he doesn’t want to answer.

Some astonishing bollocks here. The fairness doctrine was abolished in 1987, and by the end of the decade Rush Limbaugh was already the biggest name in American news media. Roger Ailes who set up Fox (and worked for Reagan and Bush) was made President of CNBC in 1993.

X is continuing to give impunity to racists using unlawful n-word and p-word slurs, despite its legal obligations. The Guardian reports on early findings from @britishfuture.bsky.social real-time testing of the efficacy of its May 2026 commitments to Ofcom www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

‘Straight out of Trumpland’: LGBTQ+ members fight for Pride after Essex library ban

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

Saw a Roman aqueduct today..was quite impressed 😮😉 The astonishing C1st AD Pont du Gard in Provence, built to provide Roman Nimes with water as part of a 30 mile network. No mortar used - and still standing 1900 years later Incredible engineering 📷 My own, today

A stunning photo of the Castlerigg Stone Circle, located near Keswick in the Lake District. It is a 5,000-year-old Neolithic monument. It comprises 38 standing stones framed by a 360-degree panorama of surrounding fells, including Skiddaw, Blencathra, and Helvellyn. #StandingStoneSunday

It's possible the much-traduced "Boriswave" ends up doing very well - by comparison to British-born workers and earlier waves of migration.

Nigel Farage wants to take the country out of the European Convention on Human Rights The ECHR protects us all - the rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice

If UK news shows won’t call out Farage’s bull**** lets do it ourselves

It’s getting ridiculous. Reform UK are now posting this “Farage was the first public figure to sound the alarm 5 years ago. Reform UK will detain and deport all illegal migrants” Let’s remind Farage how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT!

Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

So the US navy are going to fire on Chinese tankers? Right.

“The government is trying to railroad these changes through Parliament - in fact - the clause was introduced for the first time in the House of Lords which means MPs have had no opportunity to properly examine, debate or vote on it - well absolute bollocks to that”
