He knows he’s fucked. He’s about to be thrown out of Parliament. He’s rallies are being ignored, his jokes aren’t working and his little chuckles aren’t deflecting the issues any more. But as usual the BBC platform this odious racist instead of treating him with the contempt he’s due.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

"Suicidal provocation of Russia while our armed forces are at their most woeful state since WW2". Mate, the Russian army is currently pulling T-55's out of storage and losing ~1,800 men a day in foot and motorcycle assaults that achieve nothing. This is "poke the bear" nonsense.

Well you can't get much clearer than that. Restore are Putin stooges.

If Manchester City are not adequately punished for their APPALLING cheating & dropped divisions, I am giving up on the Premier League While my family comes from Tottenham, I will support Gillingham FC - who have been my 'second' team for 40 years - if the Premier League gives those cheats a pass

Don't know, but I think a full proof way of avoiding your racist and neo nazi comments being accurately reported is not to make them in the first place.

Can't help but think this was justca power play. If they had won, the separatists would have soiled themselves

Elsewhere in today’s @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social poll we see Andy Burnham as the only politician on our list with net positive favourables. Kemi Badenoch is second in terms of % favourable. Majority unfavourable towards Farage and Polanski.

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

Tories call for 5-year freeze on minimum wage to tackle youth unemployment. So, how will workers in retail, hospitality pay rent, energy, water, food bills? Impact on mental health, NHS, public services? Silence on corporate welfare, soaring exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.

30 years ago, when primary schoolkids were murdered at Dunblane, the Government banned ALL handguns in the UK Why the US doesn't do the same escapes me (I know the shooter was stopped by an armed civilian, but wouldn't it be better if neither had guns?) 140th US school shooting of 2026 - awful

In preparation for the ITV undercover investigation of Reform UK I am preparing my response: -It was just locker room banter -That’s how people talk outside the Westminster bubble -The person being racist was just a contractor -The investigation was illegal and we are suing them

Obviously the reaction to the death of William Chapman in the Tiger enclosure has been horrifying - Trump is insane - but, on the day, people were posting that the victim had to be 'autistic.' We now know that he was schizophrenic. Well - Der - I KNEW that but people wanted Autism as its newsworthy

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham confirms co-operative principles will be at the heart of the new National Care Service! Our first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister responds to Labour and Co-operative MP Jack Abbott at today's PMQs.

I thought Donald Trump posting an AI video about him with the Tiger who tragically killed a mentally ill man who entered the cat's enclosure in Yorkshire was a sick FB joke Sadly, the President of the USA is the sick joke Unbelievable

The President of the United States taking the piss out of a mentally ill man who died just a couple of days before. Frankly, I expected nothing less from this sociopathic arsehole.

Much of the coverage today is absolutely nuts. The facts are on Wikipedia. The full Intelligence and Security Committee (Russia) Report is online. Tory media & politicians once again banking on their average consumer/voter being too daft/busy/blinkered to notice...

Reckon Polanski is on the phone to his agent right now discussing exactly WHEN would be the best time to resign as Green leader and STILL get a spot on I'm A Celebrity

Man City fans STILL claiming their corrupt, cheating, appalling club did nothing wrong are like the Flat Earth Society Utterly, hopelessly, pathetically, embarrassingly wrong

The Zionism is Racism motion passed 1022 to 813, a difference of 209. I wonder if it was 210 Green Party members who cancelled their Conference tickets and went to Holborn and St Pancras to canvas for Polanski?...

The Greens might as well find the nearest bin and jump in it. Sensible people could see this hot mess coming a long time ago. Now there's the latest egomaniac, flavour of the month that can do no wrong, apparently. It's exhausting.
