There's PLENTIFUL evidence that Russia interfered in the EU referendum. Most sensible people on both sides accept that as a fact. If Farage can counter this obvious truth then he should present his case to us all rather than grandstanding and lazily calling Burnham a "liar".

Reform are barbarians, Nazis, fascists, racists, the worst of the worst. Anyone who votes for them is voting for the cruelty of ICE, the corruption of Trump, the incompetence of MAGA and the masterplan of Putin. #Reform♡Russia 🇷🇺

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

When someone is in peril at sea, our lifeboat crews don’t ask where they’re from. They go and save them. That’s courage. That’s humanity. That’s professionalism says MP Our RNLI volunteers should never be made targets for doing their vital work. eastangliabylines.co.uk/lifestyle/co...

Fascist terrorism. Have a guess where the finance will be coming from. That's what the promotional videos are about . " Dear Mr Musk can I have a chiunk of your trillions to fund my coke habit? I'll burn out the homes of some black people in return".

In rejecting fascism, Hungary has hopefully started the ball rolling and we may soon see the likes of Tice and Farage scattered like tenpins. Do not underestimate their threat; to democracy, to the NHS, and to every decent citizen in the UK who is earning an honest crust. Never Reform, never Farage

Former political prisoner Nasrin Parvaz reads a letter to Keir Starmer signed by more than 100 pro-democracy, pro-justice and anti-war British-Iranians, including other former Evin detainees Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Aras Amiri. Full list of signatories is at togetherforiran.org

To be clear I'm more than happy to be divided from the racists and xenophobes that are ruining our country with their stupid flags and their moronic bigotry. We need to take them on and defeat them. It's supposed to be a democracy.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

This is spot on! 🎯 The hypocrisy is staggering MAGA will excuse anything as long as it comes from their “chosen one.” Truth still matters, and accountability still matters. 💙✊ #BlueCrew #ProudBlue #TruthMatters #Resist #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #DemocracyMatters

King Charles and the Royals cannot just separate themselves from Prince Andrew. Andrew was in close contact with Epstein for *years* and even invited him to Buckingham Palace. Charles and the rest of them *knew* all along. #AbolishTheMonarchy #EpsteinFiles

Marwood@andmarwood.bsky.social

It's interesting watching the establishment media teeing-up their royalist panelists with interview 'questions' like "How well do you think the King has handled this?" - all to present an opportunity to try to distance Prince Andrew from the rest of the Royals. #AbolishTheMonarchy

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants. Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps. Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

Wow, Farage *really* doesn't like it when people ask questions about the expensive private education of every single one of his top team, does he... it would be *such a shame* if people were to share this widely... bsky.app/profile/did:...

Fascinating. Will the opponents of protofascism have learned enough from Caerphilly?

Labour has now come in from 10/1 to 5/1 in Gorton and Denton, with Reform at 3/1 against, and Greens odds-on. NB: these are prices (reflecting betting patterns) not predictions (There has been no representative polling of the constituency published during the campaign + no hard data).

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Lyn O’Reilly reposted

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name. Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.
