In case you missed it ... Cambridge Analytica used the Brexit ref as a testing ground for the Trump campaign. The tech innovations they introduced such as micro-targeted social media disinformation, bot farms and illicit data collection were a game-changer for the far-right.

Ah, is this is how they’re going to do it - “the machine keeps ‘punching back to the Republican candidate”

How a country is unable to get rid of someone like this 👇 is beyond me.

‘There are more gun deaths in the US on a single day than there are in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Japan in a year combined. Our weekly total is roughly equal to the annual total of gun deaths of France, Canada, or Germany.’

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Shocking

As Trump and Putin work to crush Ukraine and destabilise Europe and Farage’s ally gets sentenced to 10yrs for taking Russian bribes, it’s a good time to revisit this excellent report on how the British rightwing has betrayed us all. Brexit was their weapon of choice. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

Got to hand it to him, Putin has been very clever

So, finally, a PM who admits there **was** Russian interference in the Brexit Referendum — after all the evidence amassed by myself @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @lukeharding1968.bsky.social Sergei Cristo, J Patrick et al — dismissed as conspiracy for ten long years Truth is the daughter of Time

Letter printed in The Times today

‘No question”

Helpful explainer as usual from HCR. ‘the United States is entering its eighth month of a war on Iran that Trump apparently began with the same cowboy mentality Bush carried into the war in Iraq.’ Hegseth: “The ideological clowns are out,” he said. “The patriotic cowboys are in”

Always remember ... Brexit was the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK finally bins Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe — and a decisive strike against Putin-backed populism.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Before: “virtually every member of Congress could be expected to commit to the peaceful transfer of congressional power” Now: “it would be hard to find even one congressional Republican with the integrity, sense of duty to country, honor, and courage to put America above the Republican Party.”

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

This should not be described by the police as "lawful protest" when it is not lawful & not protest

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.

“This is a good time to note that Hegseth is terrible at his job, that the Pentagon is a mess, that he should never have been confirmed, and that he should be fired first thing in the morning. But in this administration, sycophancy is more important than competence.” ‘

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

Take me back there! - 1964 - the Great Society - Medicare - ‘prohibiting voting, employment, or educational discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or national origin.‘

Suicides in ICE detention rise as 911 logs reveal harrowing details of self-harm The five suicides since January 1 are the most in any calendar year during the past two decades

So we have full 2025 immigration stats - Total net down by 2/3rds in 2025 (3/4 from peak) - Small boat arrivals in 2026 down 40%. Asylum backlog down 48%; returns up 9% - Asylum seekers in hotels down 35% (down 48% from peak) YET PUBLIC PERCEPTION 49% think 2025 saw increase; only 16% know it fell

Most of Britain thinks net migration is still rising — when it has actually fallen by more than three-quarters From our new 2026 @britishfuture.bsky.social study of public attitudes to immigration, published online here www.britishfuture.org/britain-thin...

My daughter, s-in-l & grandsons have just arrived for their first ever family holiday. Made possible by 2 increases in min wage, lower interest rates, 30 hour child care allowing her 2 more days work a week & breakfast clubs allowing 8am start time at doc surgery. Thanks Labour

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

This. I’m mad.

Councils: 🌹 Labour: 26 (-35) 🔶 Lib Dem: 15 (+3) ➡️ Reform: 13 (+13) 🌳 Conservative: 9 (-10) 🌍 Green: 4 (+4) 0️⃣ NOC/Oth: 59 (+25) 126/136 councils. (92.6%)

Dear Reform-voting ladies… Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to: ❌ Scrap the Equality Act - your legal protection against workplace discrimination & unequal pay ❌ Kill the Online Safety Act - the law protecting you from revenge porn

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance. The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year. In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person £14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit If you can't afford that you are dying

ICE has spread fear and chaos on American streets. Yet, Reform UK says they want to introduce ICE-style in the UK. We spoke to people in Cardiff about Reform UK's dangerous plan. We don't want Trump-style policies here.
