“If killing 23 civilians at an aid distribution site is not terrorism, how can we possibly be expected to accept that spray-painting a plane is? In what circumstances could civil disobedience ever be justified if not now?” - Sally Rooney👏

This is insane by Yvette Cooper. Spray-painting planes is not terrorism. Criminal damage, yes - but you cannot “terrorise” inanimate objects. It does not serve to cause terror in victims. Therefore it is not terrorism. The authoritarian Home Secretary has lost the plot.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Good news! EU gives green light to post-Brexit youth visas with UK, after member states approved how talks would work Alfred Quantrill, from Young European Movement @yem1.bsky.social "EU deciding to formally start talks on a Youth Experience Scheme is a massive step forward for young people in UK”

@rachaelmaskell.bsky.social is right. 🇬🇧The British public are more than TWICE as likely to back prioritising trade with the EU over the US. 🇪🇺Largest market, clearest choice.

This is perfect! Mark Carney is my new crush 😍

Former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard John Dalton says that Iran was not on the brink of getting a nuclear weapon "Iran has not taken a decision to develop nuclear weapons" "We should disbelieve Netanyahu's claims unless there is evidence, and I don't believe that evidence exists:

Nobody in the UK supports this we do not want to spend our money to support Israel committing War Crimes.

Netanyahu has been saying Iran is imminently going to be producing nuclear bombs since 1996!!! This is his obsession and others around the world should not be dragged into a war that a warmonger Netanyahu has started. He has put his citizens at risk - UK - don't put yours at risk for him. #bbclaurak

🗣️ We should be realistic about those who brought war to Europe. Russia cannot be persuaded to peace by persuasion. But there are forms of pressure that can harm those who are behind this, — Zelensky. I ask you to support a serious strengthening of sanctions against Russia.

The reporting has been abysmal by the Brexity brigade. Alastair Campbell - “It is quite something that the chief minister of Gibraltar is having to spend much of the day rebutting distortions and fiction in our media.” Brexiteers and pro-Brexit media sharing misleading claims? Whatever next…

The use of Lime scooters and bikes as weapons of the resistance delights me in ways I can’t describe.

Rachel Reeves should ditch Labour's foolish election promises and increase income tax. It's a much fairer way of raising extra revenue than freezing tax thresholds, which hits people on low incomes hardest.

Boom - the way to prosperity and growth for the UK, is via the EU

"We are the party of fiscal responsibility" says Mel Stride, whose party famously triggered a bond market meltdown which crashed the UK economy and plunged the pound to its lowest ever level against the dollar

Dock workers all across Europe are refusing to load ships sending arms to Israel. It is time for the UK to join them.

The BBC is explicitly, consciously pivoting right to pander to a party with just 5 MPs. Where's the outrage? Where's the coverage?! They are converting our national broadcaster into a mouthpiece for the far right and no one is doing anything about it! bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Brexit has shattered confidence in Britain’s economy, slashing it almost in half between 2015 and last month. www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

Sanctions alone won't win the war.But they definitely help Ukrainian Defense Forces do their job.Sanctions help with limiting the resources for the Russian military machine Thus,increasing sanctions is an extremely important topic for the G-7 meeting.It’s also important that the USA joins in.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Watching nearly every political party in the UK chase the same 20% of the worst people in the country, ignoring the other 80%, just to please the papers. Nothing will change in the UK until the papers are taken in hand. Not all the media, just the papers. The rest will flow from there.

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

This was a crazy story but I’m seeing some wrong info. According to a Chilean interview she did she’s living here legally with her husband here for work. And this wasn’t an ICE arrest— the NYPD wrongfully thought she was part of a group they were pursuing bc they ran her over. And the teen is 12.

Journalists shot covering the LA uprising. Yes, in the US… Next it’ll be live rounds. After Trump won, I was called hysterical for saying dissent will be violently neutralised. I hoped I was wrong, but he’s already done a lot of what I predicted. He wants violence. youtu.be/18bzqx0tf00?...

Radiology delays linked to ‘unsustainable’ NHS privatisation If current trends continue, annual spending on outsourcing could exceed £400 million by 2028, enough to fund 3,389 full-time consultant radiologists leftfootforward.org/2025/06/radi...

🗞️ The public hates Brexit. 📺 But the media still pretends it’s sacred. It’s time to change that. 💥 Support the only party that dares say it: Brexit has failed. Britain belongs in Europe. 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺 👉 www.rejoineuparty.com/support #RejoinEU #BrexitHasFailed #TeamEU 🇪🇺

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

The magic of having the world's only fully privatised and most expensive energy.

While Reform has a mini meltdown and Musk/Trump tear chunks out of each other, maybe media could start scrutinising these grifting tossers who do nothing but harm and call it patriotism. They don’t even know how to behave, let alone decide policy. Time to start binning off these foghorns of failure.

Zelensky responds to Russia’s massive overnight strikes: “Russia hasn’t changed its tactics—another large-scale attack on our cities and civilian life. Dozens wounded, 3 rescuers killed. Russia must be held accountable. The world can stop this—by pressing Russia now. Inaction means complicity.”

The tactic for Labour should be simple. Govern as a Labour Party. Don’t try to take Reform’s place, or Reform’s voters. Let Reform implode.

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted. It won’t be released in unredacted form. More importantly - it’s now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment. What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.

Instead of a thousand words. #Kyiv rescuers bow their heads near the body of their colleague, killed by Russia. Three rescuers were killed by a second Russian strike as they rushed to save people.

Sadly not, or not yet, Michael Gove, Matt Hancock, Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson.

What an extraordinary, beautiful thing. Sometimes the only sensible response to scientific discovery is wonderment and awe.

If you're not hating the people in the small boats you will be hating the people in the Private Jets. Look up not down, that's where the thieves are.

So stuff we’re not hearing. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey quizzed Starmer today at PMQ’s on the Trump tariff fiasco. Lib Dems, Greens, SNP & Plaid Cymru regularly stand up to rogue America - the biggest issue of our times! But zero coverage on tv/radio. Why? Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Israel is fully integrating its Gaza 'food aid hubs' into the genocide. Read my latest article here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/israel-is-...
