Although apparently this has been going on for months, I've only just become aware. AMAZON has been selling replica ICE uniforms to anybody & everybody. Since ICE agents aren't required to show ID, and we've seen videos where they are masked, how does anybody know it's real ICE agents grabbing them?

In a first for the UK and Europe, Glasgow is rebooting its canal story with a classically 21st-century plot device: a multimillion-dollar computer “brain” that gets cleverer day by day.

Look at that face! Gordy will feature in the next, 'I'm very proud of myself' meme. What a guy

Interesting that they only expel these people when their messages become public knowledge Beggars belief that it was not known just well hidden from the voters though there will be some who buy into this

Renewable electricity from the colonies is absolutely vital for England in the future. As is our food and drink But our natural resource that they prize most of all is our water. Because they've shit all over theirs, and haven't invested for decades. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour can't have it both ways. They can't claim that the Tories are finished and Reform are the only real opposition, AND also ape Reform's policies and attitudes. And yet, right now, that's precisely what they're doing.

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas continue, as Israel issued forced displacement orders for five more areas in Gaza

Yep! That’s The Guy! Reeks Of Hypocrisy….

UKReform is the next 'Trojan Horse' which has arrived in our politics. It is designed to infiltrate where disillusioned voters live. It will offer them what they think is missing, Policies are shaped to chide their fears from Immigration to benefits & public services. But they are not the remedy.

NEW | On reporting around the suspect in the Liverpool parade tragedy… ‘A FANTASTIC GUY’ When it emerged that the suspect in the Liverpool parade tragedy is a middle aged white man the rush to find excuses was inevitable... brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/38-a-fanta...

Really interesting article both historically and on future uses and developments

Nida' Ibrahim: "22 new illegal Israeli settlements are to built in the occupied West Bank" Covering the same story yesterday BBC News refused to report that the settlements are illegal. And the head of the BBC has the cheek to talk about disinformation on social media.

Lives of quiet desperation: what the government doesn’t get Voters hoped for real change, but face more cuts, broken promises, and politics-as-usual – despair deepens across the UK By Barbara Morrison @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

The schools minister says reducing child poverty is a priority for the govt & thats why they established a taskforce immediately upon taking up govt A taskforce that hasn't reported yet & which the govt has now delayed until the autumn. McKinnell is treating voters like idiots.

Prioritise growth by cutting core research funding. Because as everyone knows core research doesn’t do anything for growth 🙄

Reform supporter Tim Montgomerie says Reforms numbers don't need to add up now because we are 4 years away from the next general election #BBCQT It's sound just like Brexit, promise voters everything, and deliver them the opposite 🤷‍♂️

Tres savvy.

The man has 5 repeat 5 MP’S Get a grip people BBC stop giving them airtime over the other parties You are suppose to be impartial according to your own terms of reference

Britain’s undersea infrastructure is highly vulnerable to Russian sabotage. That's the stark warning from defense and energy experts ahead of the country's major strategic defense review, expected next week.

Angela Rayner abandoned a campaign visit in Scotland after pro-Palestine protesters held a demonstration outside the Scottish Labour office she was due to attend

Sorry, have I got this right? Reform are pointing to figures that show their own leader is either a massive idiot or a massive liar?

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

Russia launched another large-scale overnight air assault on Ukraine, firing 90 drones and ballistic missiles. www.kyivpost.com/post/53637

Maximus, UK arm of a US contractor, that tests whether some people should receive disability benefits reported 23% hike in pre-tax profits, from £23.6m to £29.1m. It has £800m govt contracts. US CEO got $10.2m paypacket. Public services increasingly privatised. We pay more, get less in return.

Only Tory shysters like Pochin have such a terminal brain rot they can do a full U-turn on the child benefit cap without flinching. No shame, no memory, no soul. #ukpolitics

Today's National is out now 📰 'Runaway Rayner: By-election visit abandoned to avoid Gaza protesters'

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

"If the UK had spent more money helping people to self-isolate during the pandemic then fewer people would have been infected or died, the former head of NHS Test and Trace has said." Strange we didn't hear more about this at the time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/a...

We deeply understand that people in Gaza and other crisis areas need platforms to share their experiences and seek support, and we’re committed to ensuring that they can be heard on Bluesky. 1/8

Lower Thames Crossing could triple tolls at Dartford tunnel. Toll charges are just another tax. The cost of Dartford Tunnel/Bridge recouped. Charges remain to manage demand. Often there are no alternative routes or decent public transport. Councils use tolls to extract money.

Tory austerity and neglect of the NHS. Up to 2.5m people, inc. 749,000 children, in England could have ADHD - 549,000 awaiting assessment, 144,000 waiting for 2 years. Causes ranging from nutrition, diet, prenatal factors, toxins and more. Early diagnosis is needed. Fund the NHS.

The UK govt is supporting & arming Israel & has refused to end military assistance, halt all arms exports & impose sanctions on the Israeli govt Heidi Alexander can pretend to care about Palestinian kids but she's complicit. If she didn't support the slaughter in Gaza she'd resign
