Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

If Thames Water can pay its "record fine" by passing the cost on to its customers, how is that a punishment? (Presumably they'll just tack a few more quid onto every bill.)

Actual Reform policies.

Superb graphic sent to us, help share it.

BREAKING: We're now describing the Liverpool driver as a "lovely man" with a "nice family" after discovering he is white British ♥️

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

The Wall Street investor's nickname is paying off for Taco trucks across the country. It's been quite the boost for their businesses. #TACO

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

An annual 2% wealth tax on assets over £10m could raise £6.1bn from the top 20 billionaires on the Sunday Times Rich List alone. That’s enough to fully reverse cuts to winter fuel payments *and* PIP disability benefits 🤯

I hope the Covid Enquiry lifts the lid on this one. Is she still on ‘Leave of Absence’ from the HoL?

Beyond parody.

I have no idea why Musk's dad was on R5 today. Why does being the not very pleasant father of someone rampaging through the US govt & Constitution qualify one for an appearance? But if you must @mattchorley.bsky.social, at least do some preparation beforehand & challenge the tripe he spouted.

These are fake ICE. Who wears 😷

Embarrassing then. Embarrassing now.

Mark Carney considering the offer-

This is a heartbreaking, infuriating and completely avoidable tragedy. This is what the terror ICE rains down on our communities results in. A baby is dead because a caretaker was too terrified of being taken to risk calling for help. FUCK ICE www.wsmv.com/2025/05/22/t...

It will be interesting if this photo is broadcast on any of the main news channels tonight. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn. Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted. No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts. Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019. Govts chase little people.

If the hard and far right need to blame anyone for “two-tier” policing, they need only look to themselves and the invidious position in which they’ve put officers. My latest, on Liverpool open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Is Liz Truss right to demand a cut in the minimum wage? With me in the studio to discuss this are an £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £250,000 a year rightwing journalist and a £4,000,000 a year chief executive.
