Police probing period apps for abortion evidence is an alarming invasion of privacy & a chilling reminder of how archaic abortion laws threaten personal freedom. Abortion is healthcare, not a crime. humanists.uk/2025/06/04/p...

Dear UK media, in a few days when you say ‘ Reform opened up a conversation on the Burqa ban’ it was actually you, the media, who consistently carried the topic and circulated every snidey word from Tice, Farage, Pochin and Anderson - you the media who ensured this divisive nonsense was everywhere

This tends to be the norm with Labour supporters in my experience. A refusal to engage and defend their party. Why is that?

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

NEWS. Winter Fuel Payment to be reinstated for all State Pensioners this winter, but then clawed back via tax system for all who earn over £35,000 (roughly average earnings). This is a big improvement. Full instant analysis video coming with all the details in a minute.

And so, the clear plan to set up a merry dance and get the burqa issue back on the agenda continues This was all imo planned and executed to gather the most coverage and up the racist agenda again Oh and look when it started. Just before the Hamilton by election which they were expected to win 😉

#WinterFuel Labour creating chaos and suffering so that months later, they can be "praised" for reversing the decision.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

The news that the winter fuel payment is going to be reinstated for those pensioners with an income up to £35,000 is welcome and the right thing to do. But all it proves is that the cut last October was THE WRONG THING to do, and that it should never have happened in the first place. #r4today

Good on @turn2us.org.uk for putting together a guide for journalists reporting on the benefits system. With the PIP vote coming up, there’s no excuse for the media to use inaccurate or stigmatising language.

Does Reeves care about real people who are suffering? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06... No. I don't think she cares about Labour. Nor do I think she cares about people who're suffering in the UK. She gets her kicks from managing funds. The reality of life is not for her.

England fans singing that “Kier Starmer is a cunt” is funny, because 1 - accurate, 2 - they tell us to keep politics out of football around Pride and BLM. Weird people.

Not a big Newsom fan, but he just sarcastically called Homan a “tough guy” & dared Homan—who threatened to arrest Newsom & Bass—to quit screwing around & just come & arrest him. Credit where credit due.

Wonders of UK energy privatisation. Not enough capacity to carry/store electricity. On windy days, govt pays wind farms NOT to produce electricity. £500m this year, £8bn a yr by 2030. Elsewhere companies are paid vast sums for emergency production. Companies get ssubsidies, we get higher bills.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn
