There’s a lot that’s disgusting here but what stuck with me is the indignity of the visitors having to prove their bona fides to a puffed-up mediocrity like councillor Madgwick to gain his and the mob’s consent to stay in a hotel.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

#TogetherAlliance #love #commonground @jrsuk.bsky.social #refugeeswelcome Today was filled with love and the constant reminder that we are better together rather than sowing seeds of division/scapegoating migrants and refugees. Barely covered by the #bbc who should be ashamed of their behaviour

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity

‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’ @carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK? Our new Byline Times edition investigates what the media won't 👇

I appreciate logic isn't their strong suit but how will the Faragists who lie about the UK being much more dangerous than US cities square their lies with Donald Trump's lies about US cities being really, really dangerous?

The BBC has no problem with Justin Webb writing articles for the right-wing Daily Mail, the right-wing The Spectator or the right-wing Times owned by Rupert Murdoch. But they maintain he is impartial when on #r4today or #Americast .

He’s right. Journalists should also be pointing this out.

Keir Starmer has described criticism of the India FTA as "incoherent nonsense" The PM sought to stress that social security exemptions are common in trade deals, telling Farage and Badenoch if they want to "tear up agreements with 50 other countries... they should get up and they should say so"

Bit of an, “I ain’t reading all that” post. But if you get the chance, here are some of my thoughts on the #supremecourt ruling. #LwiththeT #LGBTQ #WomensRights

When you see Tories whinging about the price of concert tickets, just remember, Badenoch took a £14,300 luxury holiday for her whole family, courtesy of a donor. And what did they get in return? She changed the Tory policy on Net Zero. #ukpolitics

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

If the stakes weren’t so high, the contortions & humiliations of all the people who cheered this in & sneered about ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ etc would be absolutely hilarious.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Tory shysters bring crap from Facebook and Twitter into Parliament, wasting time with dumb questions. They’ve got all the facts at their fingertips but would rather pander to online drivel than actually do their job and focus on real issues. #ukpolitics
