This is appalling. All UK News shows need to be aware of this

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

4,436 foreign criminals have been deported form the UK over the last year - a 14% increase but still make up 12% of the total prison population. So the Labour government are introducing plans to speed up deporting them, expected to free up 500 prison places a year. 1/2

‘Why has the number of PIP claimants gone up since 2019?’, I keep seeing asked in SW1 like it’s a proper mystery We have an aging population, we have had a pandemic which disabled people, and the cost of living has exploded in recent years! If you live in the real world it’s not a mystery, surely!

#ThatAlexWoman really is a caustic individual

I hope I do as well 🍀

The air quality sensors provided through Breathe London have empowered Londoners to advocate for healthier, greener communities using local data. I’m delighted to announce £2.8m of joint investment with Bloomberg Philanthropies to expand this game-changing scheme.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

I was going to write a thread about our award, but @drjoepajak.bsky.social already wrote an excellent summary!

"Historians will be working around the clock trying to understand how the Republican Party, in a few short years, got to the point where their loyalty is to one person and not the constitution."

he's right and he's right to say it

He came from a fake boardroom, ran a fake charity, a fake university, faked his net worth, faked Time magazine covers, lied about crowd sizes, and ran on a fake law and order stance. Now we’re stuck in the rerun of a rigged reality show.

In compact countries like the Netherlands and the UK, most cities should be connected by car-free cycling highways. Smooth asphalt, no potholes. Cycling as transport and a boost to national health remains underrated (especially with e-bikes) and underpoliticised.

The Chump Deportation Exploitation is coming to a Neighborhood near you......

Truly appalling.

Oh God It’s the daughter of that bonkers, conspiracy theorist antivaxxer & struck off nurse, Kate Shemirani, who persuaded her 23 yr old daughter not to have chemo for her non Hodgkins lymphoma, a form of cancer treatment that has an 80% degree of success. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Keep it shut #Trump The more you open it the worse it gets.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

Labour’s devastating disability benefits cuts are a time bomb Many of its own MPs won't support measures that could see some people lose £10,000 overnight www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-l...

Why is HM Revenue & Customs letting tax cheats run circles around them? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06... Latest tax gap data shows that up to 40% of tax bills owed by small companies are not paid. Why is HMRC letting this happen?

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

As a child I was fortunate, POV, to be able to read through newspapers & magazines that came with them on a Sunday am. These images from the #USA are from 2025. Not the late sixties & seventies, of armed guerillas & fighters from despot led countries....THIS IS AMERICA, for God's sake!!🤬

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

Hard to argue with that.

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

@fpwellman.bsky.social's rousing speech at Unite 4 Veterans Rally #Veterans #Democracy #OnDemocracy #NOKINGS #BuildTheResistance

Hate to say it but this is hard hitting and pretty much as I see it.

Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen just shredded Pete Hegseth to pieces in a way I didn’t think was possible. This is amazing. #BlueCrew #ProudBlue #Thisiswhywefight #Resist #TruthWarriors #Don'tOBEY-InAdvance #StrongerTogether

I ha e never believed #Trump won legally, never. He doesn't live his life that way and never eill.

The German city of Dresden has donated a neonatal ventilator to the children's hospital in Khmelnytskyi. Both cities have a solidarity partnership since 2023. The ventilator is especially suitable for newborn babies and was specially requested by the city of Khmelnytskyi.
