In grim "there's always a tweet" news.

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot. They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.

Good morning Robbie Gibb you and your cabal still got your pernicious grip on the BBC?

I'm backing the Make Polluters Pay campaign to raise much-needed funds for climate action by ensuring the biggest polluters contribute their fair share. Oil and gas giants have made huge profits for decades while driving climate change. It’s only fair they help fix the damage.

A startling new report has reignited fierce national debate over the legitimacy of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, suggesting that voting systems across the country were secretly altered ahead of voting day—raising urgent questions about whether Kamala Harris was the rightful winner.

Women and girls deserve to feel safe wherever they are in London. Record funding from City Hall is backing the Met Police’s renewed focus on keeping women and girls safe this summer, including training to spot predatory men in crowds.

Sadiq Khan's office this week ICYMI: Brixton, Leyton, Shoreditch, & the West End are the first beneficiaries of a new Summer Streets Fund, and will introduce al fresco dining & later opening hours this summer thanks to City Hall funding "Sadiq’s £300,000 fund puts al fresco dining back on the menu"

I welcome the govt’s expansion of the Warm Home Discount. But we can’t stop there; we need far more investment in upgrading homes to ensure they are well insulated, cheap to heat, and truly future-proofed, and a commitment to zero-carbon housing in the Future Homes Standard. #HomesFitForTheFuture

The reliable @johnpringdns reports means-testing PIP being secretly considered by Ministers bit.ly/4k28WRz that would remove one of the few remaining universal benefits and destroy the work of the great Alf Morris in giving disabled people money for their extra costs

Dismissed police officer now standing as Reform UK candidate Read this. Sounds like a nice guy... www.bathecho.co.uk/news/politic...

“Impartiality is a core principle of BBC News” How they can say this with a straight face, Tim Davie the infamous Tory donor and platformer of Reform & Farage way beyond their representation, utterly laughable.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

I’m proud of everything London has achieved in leading the way on climate action—from being the first global city to declare a climate emergency to creating the world’s largest clean air zone. Let’s keep working together to build a greener future for everyone 🌳 #LCAW2025

Somehow missed this on the day, but a story I wrote was apparently mentioned in Parliament this week 🤯 "Thompson was referring to a @bylinetimes.bsky.social report saying Reform is massively exaggerating the amount it says can be saved by getting rid of DEI initiatives" Via the Guardian. Chuffed!

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit. Do join us…

If you’re out and about in today’s hot weather, our cool spaces map shows you where you can take respite from the heat, cool down and find any nearby water fountains: www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s...

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

ICYMI Thread: Here is a thread of all the @hopenothate.org.uk articles about Reform UK from the last week or so. Keep an eye out for more! (1) hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/d...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Today is Refugee Day. So we thought it was time to dispel the myths which surround asylum seekers and refugees. Could you live on £49 a week?

With every passing episode #PoliticsLive dies a death Not only have they invited Tory MP Jeremy Hunt on to openly discuss/promote a book he’s had the gall to write but they’ve also invited the representative of a Tory fanzine on to talk offer ‘critique’

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

🚨NHS has put out an urgent call for 200,000 donors to come forward Just 2% of the population - under 800,000 people sustained the whole of England's blood supply over past 12 months Giving blood is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Book an appointment or register today ❤️🙏👇 blood.co.uk

How can it cost over £80bn to build a 163-mile railway track between London and Manchester? Are they using solid platinum tracks connected by diamond-encrusted 24-carat gold sleepers or is there a drink in it for rip-off merchant subcontractors?

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Shelagh Fogarty started her LBC show with a blatant pro-life lie. Pregnancy CANNOT be “legally aborted up to 9 months”. Abortion isn’t decriminalised. It’s still only allowed until 24 wks. Two docs (who could face arrest) must sign it off. She’s an idiot that’s spreading disinformation.

"Only 2yrs left of world’s carbon budget to meet 1.5C target, scientists warn. Breaching threshold would ramp up catastrophic weather events & increase human suffering". Govt's need to act for good of planet asap, not pander to ignorant voters. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Previous US administrations prevented Netenyahu pursuing his lunatic plans. This one has been utterly humiliated by him, having to play catch up with an actor it cannot control or condemn. What we're seeing here is the reality of US decline.

So the millionaire exodus was a complete work of fiction.... built on dodgy data from a company flogging golden passports to billionaires. Henley & Partners spun a PR stunt and the media ran with it. 10,000 headlines later, the truth emerges: less than 0.3% of UK millionaires left. buff.ly/W0MDULn

I see a lot of Conservative right wing Brexiters pointing out a number of factors behind British economic decline. Quite amazingly they omit the biggest factor, and the one they were responsible for. Brexit @anthonybarnett.bsky.social

Great news 👏. Let's see if this makes any of the papers? No, probably not. "National NHS waiting lists have fallen to their lowest level for two years". www.bbc.com/news/article...

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it. That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity. Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

Mr Farage is indulged by the media-He is like one of those annoying people in work who shout 'You are doing that wrong!' over and over again without every actually saying how he would do it right or even any better. He provides entertainment for those like #bbclaurak who are obsessed with 'show'.
