A widely shared video claims to show a large number of asylum seekers on a Dover beach. But the footage isn’t from Dover. It appears to have been filmed on a popular beach in Goa, India.

Revealing…

Reform huge gains are not to be underestimated but that's a very telling little strip.

It’s unknown what was said. But it’s clear from Macron and Starmer’s body language that their appearance just before Zelensky and Trump’s one-on-one was to remind them both that France and the UK have Ukraine’s back - to encourage and empower Zelensky to deal with Trump from a position of strength.

Is this for real?

Here's Gary Gibbon #C4News explaining that the Conservatives amendment which was defeated was never about winning It was so Conservatives could campaign on doorsteps asking voters why Labour didn't support another inquiry Conservatives politicising child abuse - disgusting

Sorry, Sue-Ellen, but I always keep the receipts.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today. Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister? Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it. Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.

Absolutely this! #MadMusk

This is just plain silly, 4 years out from an election!

So, Kemi ‘No-Gaffes’ Badenoch tips another bag of Tory rubbish into the House of Lords, degrading the place again with some of the worst, most undeserving wingnuts going. Toby culture-war-dickhead Young. Therese sewage-enabler Coffey. Embarrassingly dismal choices by another dismal Tory leader.

Gotta admit though, the tractors were a pretty smart move. It would take thousands and thousands of protestors on foot to jam up Whitehall like this, but there's only about a hundred tractors in this whole photo. A v clever ploy by The Farmers to disguise how little support they actually have, 10/10

I don’t care if they’re goals, missions, milestones, pledges. Each one is important to me and I want to see Labour achieve them.

Lest we forget!

Several weeks ago there was hysteria with some commentators that Labour had delivered one of the worst budgets ever and the UK economy was going to crash. Three points on this. Govt borrowing costs now lower £ is stronger against the euro Bank of England has cut rates by 0.25%

🔴Government by ‘Talking Shop’? Hardly – Here’s Just Some of the Major Reforms Keir Starmer Has Introduced So Far bylinetimes.com/2024/12/03/g...

🚨 WORLD’S RICHEST MAN BUYING OUR DEMOCRACY 🚨 Elon Musk is set to pump £78m into Nigel Farage’s party—a sum that would allow Reform to flood our politics with targeted ads. Maybe other countries allow billionaires to buy elections, but not here!

Erm.. think it might have been scaremongering clickbait ahead of the Budget in papers like the Telegraph

How come Kevin Costner is following me?

V sick of being force fed Tory ugliness. Even with a Labour govt, the rightwing media, culture war and prejudices still dominate our national debate, drag govt into their space, drown out liberal voices and stop us scrutinising the toxic shittery of their ideologies. Was 14yrs of failure not enough?

I am so heartily sick of the anti Labour propaganda. Keir Starmer stood in a democratic election. Unlike Sunak and Truss. We had to put up with them. Do give it a rest.

A right wing paper that has *never* had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind. What did you expect, Times? You helped grenade the place.

So Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly suggested that migration puts women's safety at risk, has been harbouring a senior colleague who was jailed for violently assaulting his own girlfriend

It is no coincidence that a man jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend is now an MP in the House of Commons and the US president elect has been found liable for sexual assault. The normalisation of VAWG comes hand in hand with chauvinistic language on display in the hard right
