It is very, very obvious why the Tories do not want to reopen Brexit debates. They know they are on the wrong side of the argument. The patriotic thing to do would be to change that, not to restrict discussion.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

A Muslim surgeon of Pakistani descent has won a Pride of Britain Award for his extraordinary work saving children’s lives. Asif Hasan has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Pride of Britain Awards, recognising decades of dedication to children with serious heart conditions #Migrants

And so the most depressing day of the year. Putting lights on at just after 4. Why can't we stay on summer time all year and have an extra hour of daylight in the evening? #LighterLonger

The reinvention of Jeremy Hunt as a sage and elder statesman overlooks his role as a participant in the creation of the current shitshow. #BBCLauraK

Is there antisemitism in schools or is there just teachers and children actively showing their support for a people's being brutally murdered, raped and tortured by Zionist scum every single day?

At around 2 a.m. local time, 🇮🇱i forces bombed an apartment where the Yassin family was sheltering near Al-Shifa Hospital, killing Akram and his wife. “I wish I had slept between you, so I would have been killed alongside you and Dad,” the couple’s daughter said as she bid farewell to her parents.

Fwiw this includes me (a British citizen but born abroad), my Norwegian midwife partner, and two of my three children. Nice to know that The Times thinks we are undesirable but has watched “helplessly” as we lived in London.

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

Not bombshells. Entirely on brand “appalling behaviour” and “extreme racism” from an appalling, extreme and racist party, led by an appalling, extreme and racist man. The apples are all rotten because the tree is. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

There’s too much caution about calling Farage and Reform racist. They have no such timidity when they threaten to strip us of our rights and protections, to mass deport people and kill them at sea. They routinely insult, perv, vilify and hate people. You don’t ‘nice’ that away. You call it out.

This is as good as everyone says it is. But also note that the - I’ll be polite - ‘hostile questioner’ had no fear for his physical safety and walked away humiliated but unharmed. Would this be the case at a MAGA event?

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Agree 💯.

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

It is worth reminding ourselves that until last year that racist Birmingham politician featured in the ITV expose on Reform had been a Tory Cllr for 10 years before defecting.
