Trump here is is referring to pro-Palestine protests so you won’t hear a peep from conservatives or even pro-Israel liberals. But just imagine if this was Biden referring to ‘illegal protests’ by conservative students or pro-life groups. Free speech brigade would be going mad!

Rarely has a UK prime minister been so open about how a foreign war can be used to boost the UK arms industry and economic growth. #DCUKparliament

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Not to be missed. Witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist. Oscar for BEST DOCUMENTARY.

This essay is 52 years old...

weird thing to admit to.

As Israel stops humanitarian aid into Gaza today, I truly hope the documentary No Other Land wins the Oscar. I feel lucky to have seen it two weeks ago at the Cooldige Corner Theatre where every show that day was sold out. It still doesn't have a US distributor. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

I would like to see at least a bit more contrition from the lads about having helped to deliberately inflict an ineffectual government of ludicrous frauds and repellent crackdown enthusiasts upon everyone, at a moment of multiple very serious overlapping crisis they obviously are not up to handling.

Wow. This is *the Times*.

Well worth a read, particularly after yesterday's public punishment beating, for anyone wanting to get their heads around Trump's approach to foreign policy.

"West Europeans, liberal media elites, and establishment figures are seeing the face the US routinely presents to the nations of the global south. And the truly shocking thing is they're now getting the same treatment."

Man you guys just don't really have much idea how the USA treats other countries, do you?

My wonderful colleagues at @praxisprojects.bsky.social took their “scrap the NRPF” campaign out onto the streets.

Really is something to have these people now come out and admit they were actively working to lose the election. Given the whole "you stupid leftists were simply too unelectable" thing, and all that.

'Send me back to where I don't come from' is quite the flex, can't lie.

New migration statistics out today show a 4000% rise in asylum refusals for Afghans from Qtr4 ‘23 compared to Qtr 4 ‘24. Have the Taliban been replaced with a feminist, human rights respecting democracy? Nope. Government are ‘clearing the backlog’ by refusing refugees status.

Won't lie, didn't have Dominic fucking Cummings referring to someone as a 'black retard' while dropping Kendrick bars on my bingo card.

Oh, I'll take a stand. Fuck off Dan Hodges.

It is official: The Donald has no problem with migrants - as long as they are oligarchs (or have won some major lottery). Racism is optional and can be rescinded as long as the price is right. www.ft.com/content/d93a...

This is simply not true. But it is a genre of lie that's interesting because it is endlessly repeated by people in the media. Like "you can't talk about immigration".

What a massive surprise.

I would ask you to pause here and ask yourself: what exact methods did “the centre left” use to “fight back”? Are those methods available to Sensible Tories. Can they, say, rely on the national press to devote five years to stoking deranged hate for the Tory right? I would say: no.

Turd Reich.

Can you tell what it is yet?

They did what?! Didn't they have literal anti-immigrant crockery?

Homelessness– out of site, out of mind? David L reports on the eviction of the residents of the tent camp in St Peter’s square in Manchester. revsoc21.uk/2025/02/17/h...

👉NEW -- Rights and wrongs over Gaza judgment exposes Starmer by Phil Miller The prime minister’s anger at Gazans getting a visa to enter Britain demonstrates his double standards on Ukrainian and Palestinian refugees. www.declassifieduk.org/rights-and-w...

Confused here. Surely Nige used to support the RA? There's video clips and everything. Ah well. Tiocfaidh ar la.

‘Badenoch tried to pick a fight over the European Convention, describing Starmer as “too busy defending the international human rights law framework”. If only he were.’ @nicholasrl.bsky.social on resettlement policy, from the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/fe...

Unsurprisingly, Labour chasing after Reform has led to Reform demanding something even more extreme.

There are people paid very good money to puff this sort of pish to the press.

So government are unhappy with a Palestinian family accessing a visa scheme set up for Ukrainians. The question we should be asking is why they set up a bespoke scheme for one single Nationality & left everyone else, including Palestinians & Sudanese, to people smugglers?

The question I would like to see politicians asked is: what do you think happens if every country tries to ban refugees from taking "dangerous journeys" without providing alternatives? International displacement is primarily an international issue not a national one.

Imagine scrapping in public over who can kick kids trying to escape Gaza the hardest.

Keep defending this, Starmer fans. It only makes the hatred worse.

Not far off the policy that resulted, via a twitter reaction chain, in Match of the Day being broadcast without any presenter

What if your mum was a fucking toaster? What if shoes were birds? What if yellow smelled like rust?

Druids Heath residents, angry about the compulsory purchase of their homes are putting up ‘NOT FOR SALE' signs. Another example of the democratic deficit in this city. Who gets to make these decisions? Not the residents of Birmingham that’s for sure. 📷 Druids Heath and Monyhull Forum.

I don’t know what the government have to do to get this through people’s heads: do they have to wear hats that say “We agree with Reform, they are correct about immigrants and the left being scum” or “Farage Life 4 Eva”? They despise you and they want the opposite of the things you do, *and say so*.

What does it mean, if all of the most serious, damaging and heavily consequential scandals of the era are revealed to have been exactly the grimly cynical backstabbing, shenanigans and horseshit they looked like, and everyone denies it as one until long after admitting it has become meaningless.
