Sally Rooney forced to pull books from the UK, meanwhile the far right can schmooze former prime ministers and, apparently, hire contract killers with impunity.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

As a political science professor, I can confidently say: If I asked a student to define "socialism" on an exam and they wrote that, they would get an F

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Literally hours later, although at least nobody was killed.

This 'Anyone But England' mentality is petty and reflects badly on us as a nation, and it's about time we por favor, ignoren el comienzo de este mensaje y apoyen a nuestros heroicos mexicanos contra los ingleses

This is exactly why we have Pride. Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows. We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

Keir Starmer lied through his teeth to become Labour leader. He justified Israeli war crimes, arrested opponents of genocide, attacked pensioners, disabled people and migrants, pocketed freebies, crushed dissent and threw others under the bus to save himself. History damns him

There absolutely should be sackings at the Electoral Commission over this. A fake party that does no campaigning, will have spent £0, and whose own holocaust denying leader acknowledged is only there to confuse voters, came 7th, only explainable if it did indeed confuse voters.

Spare me the “man of great integrity” schtick. Starmer: - Lied through his teeth to become Labour leader - Defended Israel’s right to commit war crimes - Appointed the friend of a notorious paedophile to high office - Went Enoch Powell on migrants And so on!

This was Reform's best chance at a constituency gain, and they came up just short: in the final BBS model before polls opened, they had a tiny edge, it was a total tossup. SNP will be extremely relieved by this ^AF

Look at the US, where the Republicans were first to spot that the old “Neoliberalism, engine of freedom and prosperity” stuff was not going to fly any more, so they leaned hard into racism and crushing enemies. Leaving the Dems happily holding the bag for a fucked and obviously corrupt system.

Bruce Buchan@brucealexb.bsky.social

As is now painfully obvious, political centrism (government by neoliberal technocrats) is in its final death throes. The only beneficiary of their demise is the racist, nativist, xenophobic, idiot-right. The only viable alternative to the catastrophe of their rise is an avowedly antifascist left.

Thank you Rabbi for your kind words! 🙏🏽

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.
