#bbcqt Funny how Reform claims they’ll fix the small boats crisis—when it only exists because of Brexit. Pre-2018, the UK had an EU returns deal. No boats, no chaos. Farage helped burn the bridge, now he’s selling buckets for the flood.

#bbcqt Brexit created the small boats issue. Before Brexit UK had a returns agreement with the EU. There were hardly any small boats before 2018. Any migrants on boats could be returned to France. Reform is claiming they will solve the problem Farage created.

Primary schools are on their knees—chronic underfunding, exhausted staff, dwindling resources, and a culture that undermines professional judgement. I hear Jamie Oliver, but he’s wildly underqualified to make sweeping claims about education. This fight needs real experts.

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

Anyone still standing with Trump—no matter the excuse—is unfit for office, unfit to vote, and unfit to claim any stake in a peaceful, democratic society. This isn’t politics. It’s fascism. And if you’re with it, you’re against the very idea of freedom.

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed. "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Video from @Elex_Michaelson on X via Padilla's staff.

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

To those protesting—OPTICS MATTER. I celebrate your heritage, but MAGA will twist any symbol to warp the story. Fly the American flag. This is about American democracy. Make it impossible for them to hijack the narrative. Don’t give them a single frame they can weaponise.

Every Democratic governor, senator, and politician must unite—now. No more dithering. MAGA is a fascist movement and must be pulled to shreds, piece by piece. This is existential. Fight together or lose everything. History won’t forgive cowardice or delay.

The scenes from the USA are shocking—this is no longer a democracy. A fascist dictatorship is tightening its grip while the country teeters on the edge. Institutions are crumbling, rights are vanishing, & too many are silent (although many aren’t). This is the cliff. They’re already hanging over it.

Same way they have platformed Farage for 20 years when his position has not warranted the disproportionately large coverage he gets. Burkas get clicks. The BBC should not sink to that, yet it does...

Israel’s idea that they are going to show Greta & the Freedom Flotilla crew violent Oct 7th videos in order to convince them that they are in the wrong… …just utterly exposes how profoundly tribalistic, barbaric and emotionally underdeveloped the Israeli government is.

Mocking Greta Thunberg remains a remarkably effective litmus test of one’s character.

Annoyed by Greta Thunberg? Imagine how angry you’d be to find your entire family slaughtered by the IDF. But we seem to lack that imaginative capability, so someone like her has to use her public profile to try and shame us into doing the right thing.

Greta Thunberg and #FreedomFlotilla Crew just proved that it was Israel and not Hamas who was blocking aid to Gaza the whole time

This lady nails it: optics matter. I’m not American, but if you’re protesting ICE—carry the 🇺🇸 flag. You’re not outsiders. You’re defending the Constitution, demanding the U.S. live up to its promise. That flag should never belong only to the oppressors.

Elon wants Trump impeached. Trump calls Elon a clown. Two fragile egos slap-fighting while Americans drown in debt, lousy healthcare, and broken schools. It’s not a cage match—it’s a distraction. And the only losers are the people. #BillionaireBrawl #AmericaLast

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
