Israel's outrage and upset at Iran's bombs hitting a hospital and other civilian areas when they're still flattening and murdering everyone in Gaza themselves is jaw dropping.

The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage and a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.

🚨 “Not For EU” Label. Check your asparagus. 🇲🇽 Mexican asparagus in @sainsburys may be grown with pesticides banned in the EU, including carbofuran and paraquat. 🥵 No EU label = No EU safety standards. 🇬🇧 Post-Brexit, UK rules are weaker. 🧪 Lower testing. Less traceability. More risk.

Tice says Labour will drop Net Zero plans - but he doesn’t want them to. Net Zero is Reform’s latest ideological battle. Remember these guys gave us Brexit - and just as Brexit was based on lies, exaggerations and fantasy numbers - so is Nexit - Britain’s exit from Net Zero. buff.ly/3CfNjob

Dear U.K. media, when reporting on the murder of the U.S. politician, don’t shy away from saying that it’s a Democrat who was killed. This isn’t a random killing. It’s a political killing.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

'Incredible ground gained. We have a sitting MP interacting with our guys publicly' writes Steve Laws of Homeland Party (a racist campaign to remove all ethnic minorities from Britain) of Rupert Lowe's response to far right blogger Morgoth, who was challenging Reform's rejection of overt racism

The national media should be all over Facebook & the government as to how a major website is platforming the orchestration of racist violence 72 hours into doing so

There's a good case for the UK government temporarily switching off Facebook and Twitter if they continue to be used to organise mob violence in Northern Ireland. If somebody was standing on a street corner inciting violence, they would be arrested.

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...

This is fucking insane. The BBC is adjusting output to “win back” Reform voters while ex-Tory spin doctor, Gibb, sits on its board. That’s not public service or impartiality - it’s interference. Bending over for Farage puts the BBC in the gutter with the Daily Mail. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

In case you missed it ... Leaving the ECHR would also mean ... 1. Ending the Good Friday Agreement. 2. Ending the Brexit deal. 3. Leaving the Council of Europe. 4. Risking the loss of our fundamental rights. 5. Opening the door to the death penalty. 6. Moving even closer to Russia and Belarus.

The departure of Zia Yusuf from Reform UK leaves a huge hole. That’s not a very nice thing to call Nigel Farage, but I have to be honest.
