Farage's 'Breaking Point' poster shamelessly copied Nazi propaganda. Brexiters like Farage claim to be patriots, and yet they ape the propaganda of the fascists we helped defeat in 1945. Putin weaponised Syrian refugees to help far-right politicians like Farage, Le Pen, and the AfD.

Georgia's Putinist regime continues to crush democracy. Would we, in the UK, fare any better under Russia's friend Farage? We have no constitutional safeguards to protect us from a fascist government.

I'll be speaking at this emergency demo tomorrow night. Government ministers are touring the TV studios refusing to say that starting an illegal war is wrong. If they won't use their voices to condemn America & Israel's actions - we shall all do it for them.

The UK passed assisted dying legislation at the exact same time it began trying to cut PIP benefits & other social supports. They make it harder for disabled people to survive, then offer death as a solution. Canada has done this for years.

The BBC is continuing its sickening promotion of the far-right. This must end. Starmer must act to defend our democracy. Brexit extremist Robbie Gibb has warped BBC output for far too long. He must be sacked. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

You’d think a government in control wouldn’t panic ban things just because an opposition demands it. A government in control would be comfortable defending free expression & right to protest. But a government arming genocide has no moral ground to stand on & is not in control.

No one is happy with Labour. A u-turn on #DisabilityBenefits cuts is a first step to regaining a party people can vote FOR not just use as a vote against the Tories. Show us vision, Labour. A country where we support each other, not abandon our most vulnerable. #TakingThePIP

If Starmer endorses US involvement in the Middle East then that has to be the final nail in Labour's coffin for very many of us.

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.

"After a lifetime of filming the natural world, I cannot remember a more exciting opportunity." - David Attenborough This movie was one of the most glorious, distressing, & hopeful things I've perhaps ever watched. I both recommend it as a balm, & hope it'll be added to must-watch lists everywhere.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being rewarded for their ignorant delinquency.
