The morning after it feels even worsen. Here is the @therestpolitics.bsky.social LIVESTREAM we did last night on the Trump-Vance ambush of Zelensky … America had elected a disaster alastaircampbell.org/2025/02/378-...

Fucking Russian agent bone-spur coward rapist scum sitting next to the Churchill of our age.

NEW: Last year Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm Global Counsel paid £35k to second a staffer to shadow Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq A months later Siddiq wanted advice on financial services reform. Guess who she called? Yep, Global Counsel. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/ruling-on-...

I saw my client in shackles last week in hospital. My client was unable to walk due to medical complications following birth but their 3 private prison guards needed the shackles for their own “safety” grotesque.

Do they think we have all drunk some sort of "forget everything since 2010" elixir? It is so blatant. ~AA

Nigel Farage with the wife of the man who’s accused of bribing his fellow MEP, Nathan Gill

“A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.”

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER Trump has suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia. That is not true. We all need to call this out

This is what I mean by news outlets willingly letting themselves get language-policed by the far right. You used to be able to just call this a "Nazi salute." Now it's "a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month."

Forget the nonsense about which month Rachel Reeves left the Bank of England. This is the real CV fiddling story.

Quite literally, while JD Vance was over here lecturing our entire continent about freedom of speech? 😂🤣😂🤣 You could not make this shit up.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Kemi Badenoch on Monday said an independent football regulator was a "waste of money" However, in a 2022 email to a constituent obtained by PolHome she said she supported "recommended reforms" of the game Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has accused the Tory leader of "complete hypocrisy"

HOPE not hate can reveal that a network of Russia-linked Telegram channels are offering cash to UK residents willing to commit acts of terror and vandalism. This network is responsible for a recent wave of vandalism against Islamic centres in London.

Trigger warning: this article contains descriptions of sexual assaults. Two instances of sexual assault in broad daylight and unlikely places have left lingering feelings of violation, instability and lasting scars | Magdalena Williams @kentandsurreybylines.co.uk

🔴How Right-Wing Media Spread the False Claim That One in Twelve Londoners Are ‘Illegal Migrants’ There is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, in order to push for Trump-style mass deportations, argues Zoe Gardner bylinetimes.com/2025/01/30/h...

We revealed Nigel Farage’s voting record to his constituents in Clacton. They weren’t happy.

My mind immediately goes “if we write to ofcom every time they say something offensive on GBNews we will write a lot of letters…!” But then, if ofcom was inundated with complaints about all the horrible stuff on their shows constantly, maybe then they would DO something??? Either way, do this👇

Trump announced that he plans to sign an executive order next week to end the promotion of paper straws as an alternative to plastic ones. So much for the sea turtles.

On CNN we played numerous examples of Rubio praising foreign aid as vital to American interests. We also revealed a letter he wrote to Biden in 2022 suggesting USAID's budget needed to be increased to counter Chinese Community Party influence around the globe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL1s...

Over 200 million women, including at least 600,000 in Europe, underwent female genital mutilation. On International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM, let’s be clear: FGM must be universally condemned and eradicated. Together with countries around the globe, we can make it happen ↓ europa.eu/!cqkMDd

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country. I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him. Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.

The most frustrating thing about continuing failure to skewer Farage is that his grasp of detail is non-existent. It’s why he gets petulant when exposed to even mildly decent questions. Interviewers just need to zone in on one element of the bullshit & interrogate it until his ignorance is exposed.

Today is 5 years since we officially left the EU. The movement to ditch Brexit and get back in the EU is growing at pace. Want to help it grow on Bluesky? 🦋 Then follow European Movement UK and the 40+ local pro-EU groups in this starter pack (and find you own nearest group to say "hi"!)

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

This is totally crackers - she throws out some completely batshit hypotheticals, before saying she doesn't remotely believe they will come to pass, but then says we should be taking it, and her seriously. What on earth is this childish nonsense?

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Caroline Kennedy's letter opposing RFK Jr.'s nomination to lead HHS is one of the more scathing things I've ever read.

Incredibly disappointing to read that the Home Office has rejected calls for misogynists to be treated as extremists. Today, I asked the Government why this was, especially as one woman is currently murdered every three days in UK. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEm8...

Extreme levels of individual wealth pose risks to our society, democracy & economy. Could an “extreme wealth line” anchor global action against the harms of unchecked wealth and power? @febalata.bsky.social explores in our latest blog post #LSEInequalitiesBlog
