Lee Anderson, never one to miss political scoring points, forgets he was part of the Tory government when they ignored multiple reports and recommendations around child grooming and exploitation Cooper reminds him.

People Power - We take it for granted, we don’t use it anywhere near as much as we should, but it’s the most powerful force in the world & the greatest fear of authoritarians & dictators throughout history Solidarity & huge respect for all those protesting in USA & around the world today 🙏 #NoKings

At the Bylines Network we know it's getting more and more difficult to publish some sorts of story in US, so we've made space for some US writers to tell them through our publications - like this mother worried about what RFK Jr's plans could mean for her kids. centralbylines.co.uk/news/world/h...

The BBC treats Farage as if he were just a fun Conservative character. But they know he has been praised and supported by Putin: that he admires Trump's autocratic instincts and supports the Neo Nazi AFD. They never mention this. What gives?

I’m from Rhondda Valleys. My grandfather was a miner who by the time was in his mid 40’s was retired with only half a functional lung Wales is poorest UK region, highest sickness, lowest incomes. Con man Farage has no interest in making life better for the people of Wales @bylinetimes.bsky.social

‘What I’m being told is that Trump allies—incl elements connected to Proud Boys, III Percenters, & other far-right militia networks—planning to infiltrate June 14th protests. Not to support them. To sabotage them’ Their goal? Create chaos. Spark confrontation. Trigger response from law enforcement

🔥 Brexit: Labour’s lethal weapon to see off Reform? Labour is searching for the tools to fight Reform's rise, and the biggest chink in their armour could be the catastrophe that is Brexit. 👏👏👏

Yvette Cooper is about to face questions in the Home Affairs Select Committee about her immigration white paper - the one launched with Keir Starmer's "Island of Strangers" speech. I fear I'm going to get mad. Expect angry tweets to come. www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

“Trump’s tariffs caused worldwide financial turmoil" The forecasts are in. Trump's chaotic tariff are slowing down the whole world economy, including the UK's. We need a common sense trade deal with the EU now more than ever - to gain 2.2% GDP growth.

'Daily, the struggle to pay ever-higher bills, find a decent home or a secure job, get a doctor’s or dentist's appointment wears people down... Discontent and disillusionment with politics grows... You cannot fix broken public services, or indeed a broken society, in this way.'

I'm no fan of Nigel Farage but Kemi Badenoch saying he will bankrupt our country if he ever gets into power after the Conservatives voted in Liz Truss and she trashed the economy is a bit rich

Yet they often accuse those of us who point out the disaster of Brexit, as ‘talking the country down’ London is a wonderful cosmopolitan world city. Yet the fake ‘patriots’ constantly attack it … we know why.

What an incredible thing to write, given the Boris Johnson gov't. Neil's only useful function nowadays is as a corrective to the notion of "BBC impartiality". He was just very adept at injecting his right-wing politics into the framing of issues, while pretending to be "equally tough on anyone".

That’s more like it. Starmer calls out Farage as to who’s side Farage is really on.

The ultimate irony of halving net immigration numbers: You can do it without reducing small boats crossings at all!! This is Nigel Farage’s immigration doom-loop & Starmer is up to his neck in the death trap like the Tories before him 🤦‍♀️

First Zelensky, now another utter disaster White House Trump meeting with a world leader. It whole was jaw dropping. The lack of class, the rudeness, the outbursts at the press, his complete unwillingness to listen For a great summary of the horror & cringe, watch this from @meidastouch.com

UK Gov is failing to tackle rising violence against women & girls. Lack of coordination among Whitehall departments, failure to understand the nature of the violence, coupled with a huge growth in online harm & misogyny by young men and boys, triggered by hate influencers @bylinetimes.bsky.social
