@jowhitemp.bsky.social who represents Bassetlaw & founded Red Wall caucus of Labour MPs said Govt should stop “pussyfooting around” and “take a leaf out of President Trump’s book”. That would be Trump who sends ICE goons to snatch & deport innocent people ignoring court ordered due process. WTAF.

Perhaps someone should tell all those “blue Labour” gurus popping up in the media these days that leading a “revolt against change” is not what this government was elected to do.

A reminder that this Administration's allies in the EU are the AfD, Orban, Fico, Kickl, Le Pen et al

Labour’s “Farage is right, don’t vote for him” strategy, which was so successful on Thursday, looks set to continue.

How the UK Govt can still regard the Trump Administration as an „indispensable ally“ is beyond me.

McSweeney will draw all the wrong lessons from #RuncornAndHelsby Expect more performative cruelty to migrants, punching down on the undeserving, Blue Labour attacks on ECHR. The ‚genius’ configured a GE winning majority with no clue as to how to govern for such a fragile and unstable coalition.

📊 There’s a growing realisation in Britain that multi-party politics is colliding with a broken, 2-party voting system ⚠️ And that this risks producing random results, more chaos & more distrust The public know this - and here’s just some of the media commentary 🧵 1/10

This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis published propaganda on Jewish crime. If this were blackcrimeuk or immigrantcrimeuk everyone would see it for the bigoted shit that it is.

Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

God there were so many of these…

Former Reform candidate avoids jail for £27k charity fraud Daniel Turner diverted Covid grants meant for a youth centre to his own bank account Who does that? A close associate of Andrea Jenkyns & Sean Matthews her campaign manager, that’s who. www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln...

I fail to see how Trump can make a UK state visit. Might as well invite Putin himself. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Should we reverse the Tories' politically motivated change in the voting system?" "Nah. Hero voters don't care about that."

Reform wants to scrap green policies and turbocharge fossil fuel production. Now, the party's treasurer Nick Candy has said he's trying to raise millions from oil & gas executives. Farage's outfit is now effectively a wing of the fossil fuel industry

⚡️US anger should be directed at Putin, not Ukraine, Macron says after deadly Russian strike on Kyiv. The United States' frustration over stalled peace talks on the war in Ukraine should be aimed solely at Russian President Vladimir Putin, not Kyiv, Macron said. kyivindependent.com/american-ang...

Thank you @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social Great to see all West London MPs have signed: @hammersmithandy.bsky.social @chelfulhamben.bsky.social @joepowell.bsky.social @rupahuq.bsky.social and @ruthcadbury.bsky.social

The Home Office has announced that it will be publicising the nationalities of foreign national offenders (FNOs). These plans are a racist exercise in scapegoating, with the aim of linking criminality to nationality- esp. nationality of Global South + Muslim-majority countries... buff.ly/nGcJfe8

What keeps Ukraine in the fight? What threatens Russia’s stability? My new report analyses the political economy of the present balance of forces through the metric of "money and people", to assess the two sides levels of economic resilience in the war 🧵/1 peacerep.org/publication/...

2025: "Brexit costs and red tape denying NHS cancer patients life-saving drugs" 2018: Brexiter Gisela Stuart, "It is important to knock on the head this notion that we didn't know what we were doing.. I know exactly what I was doing" She's now sat -unelected - in the House of Lords

Ten assaults a day on asylum seekers in Home Office care, figures reveal These figures are appalling & without a doubt the real numbers are far higher. These contractors are paid a FORTUNE & they can’t even treat people decently. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The EU are paying close attention. Cosying up to Trump will do nothing for Starmer's 'reset'. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

😂🤣😂 @keithedwards.bsky.social

See the movies or don't, read your kids whatever you want, but this self-portrait of a gloating hatemonger is the identity she has chosen.

Trump is requiring the United Kingdom to get rid of laws protecting LGBTQ people before he will agree to a trade deal with them.

There’s still this incredulous, naive tone from journalists about the Trump administration “Are you seriously saying the United States would xyz aggressive, dishonest, or illegal thing?” 😩Yes. Yes. The US will do whatever Trump likes. He’s not our ally. When will they wake up?! #r4today
