I just signed a petition to stop the rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK. The Government and shops are scanning us without clear laws in place, using our faces like barcodes. It feels really invasive. Can you take 30 seconds to sign it too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Proper humiliation for Farage

Fionna O’Leary@fascinatorfun.bsky.social

Look at the list of 33 candidates that Farage is running against. It’s going to be an absolute circus, which is fitting for the poisonous clown. 3 from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party Nick The Incredible Flying Brick Howling Laud Hope Baron Von Thunderclap. Full consumes, I hope

Chris Rokos. He’ll be donating to Reform next but Britain is well rid. - Funded Cameron in run up to 2015 election. Thereby funding library and youth club closures, cuts to school budgets, armed forces/local authority budgets. Huge growth in corridor care & overcrowded prisons.

Happy Independence Day Canada. The threats are going to come fast, furious and over the top. They will threaten escalation because the White House cannot abide an independent and democratic nation on their border. But we've got this. The Juno beach gene is in every one of us. Carry on

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? 38d.gs/jpcf

Yes, Tendring District Council refused a licence for the party after my Clacton election win but we went ahead anyway, because the rules don't apply to us.

I mean… this is a painful watch. Here we are, Brexit Britain, in our not-so-splendid isolation, being battered on trade, less secure, less reliable, less trusted… just so much less… Canada wants in and we still can’t admit what arrogant, clueless fools we were for throwing it all away.

Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones on the part of Doris Miller’s story too many Americans were never taught: His heroism at Pearl Harbor should have earned him the Medal of Honor. Why didn’t it? “I’ll give you one guess. He was a Black man.” Now they want to take his name off an aircraft carrier

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents

First we had divorced parent Richard Tice saying that couples with children should be married. Now we've got divorced parent Matt Goodwin saying Reform will prioritise married couples with children. Who's up to mansplain marriage next? Henry the 8th?
