Resignations, Cancelled Meetings and Culture Wars: How Reform UK Councils Are Descending Into Chaos Nigel Farage's band of newly-elected councillors are already starting to struggle, reports Josiah Mortimer Who would have guessed bylinetimes.com/2025/06/16/r...

"I am Waseem, I live in northern Gaza, I am married and am a father of three children. I was living a beautiful life and I was working in an accounting company. The war came... They bombed the area and it was completely destroyed. After that, I lived in the street with my family..."

BREAKING: Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israeli troops shot and killed at least 20 hungry Palestinians and wounded hundreds of others while they waited for food at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid site. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/oq5i6c

Keir Starmer told our nuclear test veterans in opposition “the country owes you a huge debt of honour. Your campaign is our campaign'” I will repost my film, now on 2 million views, every single day until the PM agrees to meet with them www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

F-35 fighter jet parts have been secretly transported to Israel from a British air force base in Norfolk, 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=6YvT...

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

EXCLUSIVE: American Security Contractor Unloads On US-Israeli ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’

Let’s be fair, if you made your wealth here you should pay tax here, if you prefer to live abroad who cares - the US has a good system for that - all citizens pay tax wherever in the world they live.  It’s fair, citizenship has benefits nobody should freeload.

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

I wonder which cabinet minister this is www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

West Bank under siege as Gazan internet access is severed While the world is preoccupied with its war with Iran, Israel has surrounded the West Bank, and Gaza has lost access to communications | Jennie Kermode

Anyone else seeing the link between cutting the internet in Gaza… …and starting a war with Iran? The Netanyahu government is sick & criminal.

Tree of the Day, Gaza. With thanks to Mandy Blackman, sending me the view from the hospital compound where she is working, and who loves to see trees still standing when so much else has fallen

Big digital billboards can emit 11 homes' worth of energy and cause harmful light pollution - but local authorities aren't allowed to take this into account when deciding whether to allow them to be built. This week I called for this to be changed #BetterWithoutBillboards @adfreecities.bsky.social‬

MPs are being absolutely flooded with emails urging them to support Amendment NC20 to entirely decriminalise abortion. Here's why 👇🏻. goodlaw.social/2f9c

Hearing this from quite a few people in Reform UK-controlled councils. From a local reader: "There are rumours as in other Reform UK controlled councils that a number of those elected stood to ‘make up numbers’ & never thought they would be elected & now don’t feel able to commit the time required"

IT’S NOT TOO LATE for the government to change course. Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee who say they should not go ahead without a comprehensive impact assessment Contact your MP, NOW

Reform are Britain's Far Right Party. Call them what they are. #r4today

Study on London 20 mph limits shows: - collisions ⬇️ 35% - casualties ⬇️ 36% - fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34% - child casualties ⬇️ 46% - child deaths ⬇️ 75% - walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits... #PMQs

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

Enormous respect to Prof Andrea Sella for this deeply principled stand for what matters in science. Those at the Royal Society who bow before science-denying Elon Musk should hang their heads in shame.

May I suggest that members of the European Parliament bombard David Lammy with questions about what the British Foreign Office is doing about state-sponsored Israeli pirates hijacking a UK registered ship in international waters meme Amer Awad

Last week, Wael Al-Dahdouh delivered a speech to UK journalists compelling them to use their platforms to speak out against Israel's genocide in Gaza or risk complicity in genocide. #AmnestyMediaAwards #Gaza #Palestine

#Renationalise now!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

2024: Rachel Reeves cuts the Winter Fuel Allowance 2025: Rachel Reeves reveres cuts to the Winter Fuel Allowance This feels more like Labour responding to Reform, rather than Labour actually caring enough about pensioners

Keir Starmer and David Lammy must speak and condemn this interception. All humanitarian aid must be able to reach people desperately in need. The UK govt have been active participants in the genocide. The eyes of the world must be on Gaza. Release the Madleen crew.

After years of platforming Farage way beyond his importance this can only fail. Reform voters will never trust the BBC no matter how hard she tries to appease them. It will annoy even more all those centrist listeners who are already on the brink to switch it off. Genuinely don’t get it.

Developers are sitting on land to boost profits. This is a crisis that's holding up housebuilding. Ripping up nature protections won't solve this problem.

This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.

‘After WWII, we built a welfare state because we believed in each other. Now we’re letting it rot. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’d gladly pay more tax. Wouldn’t you?’ An anonymous plea to Rachel Reeves #SpendingReview #TaxResponsibly

Yes, we need to beat Reform But the answer to populism can't be more populism It's using the power we have achieved to make real change in our country Not encouraging people to engage in magical thinking Do listen to this podcast interview with one of our brilliant MPs x.com/BylineTimesP...

#Renationalise water now

A gigantic new AI datacentre to be built in Lincolnshire is projected to release five times the carbon dioxide of Birmingham airport. A planning application for the facility has been submitted to the local council. The public consultation is open for another three weeks.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.
