Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.

As I said in the Commons last week, Elon Musk is hostile to British values and we must break our addiction to his hateful algorithm. Tommy Robinson is a traitor to our country, and anyone who supports him cannot be forgiven. youtu.be/NEiTYwvooUc?...

BASW strongly condemns the appalling acts of violence, disorder and racism that have threatened communities in Belfast and other parts of the UK this week. Our thoughts are with all victims who have been injured. Social workers who have been affected can contact our Professional Support Service.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

And then he'll post about it on a website rigged to help Nazis and post non-consensual pornography.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

It has now been 10 weeks and three days since Nigel Farage last turned up to vote in the House of Commons

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

Donald Trump has explained that the attack on Iran was necessary to protect US citizens from the dangers of paying too much attention to the Epstein files.

Delighted that Angeliki Stogia is Labour’s candidate for Gorton & Denton by-election. She’s a strong Mancunian woman with Labour values & a record of delivery. All our doorstep work is clear, only Labour can win against Reform. Don’t risk voting for others. We chose unity & hope over division.

As far as I can tell, the Conservative party's position is that there should be no censorship of content on platforms like twitter but that the same content can be grounds for deportation/denaturalisation

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*. The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

Unpopular opinion, but I expect the Government to defend the BBC wholeheartedly . It’s made a daft mistake but the underlying message in Trump’s speech wasn’t changed - he fermented an insurrection. And I don’t expect a single penny of OUR money to go to Trump or anywhere he directs.

One of the largest, if not largest, far-right rallies marches through London. Police attacked. And nothing, zilch, from the Prime Minister. I’m afraid he’s the wrong man for this time. You cannot stay silent when faced with fascism.

For the first time in my life the social norms that kept a lid on nationalist fascist racism; that reclaimed the flag; have stalled. The lack of actual vocal leadership for us to rally around - for the pro-democracy, pro-rule of law, anti-violent, majority - is now becoming an existential problem.

The difference between the scrutiny is astonishing. The BBC trying to over-correct are now actively championing a Reform Government. Good luck BBC when you get your wish.

Starmer giving interview to BBC - BBC choose to play split screen of boats of migrants seemingly on a loop until it switches to our “concerned citizens” shaming the national flags.

I don’t know what this party is. It certainly doesn’t uphold any of the values that had me, perhaps naively, door knocking for them last year. It’s one thing to be asleep at the wheel. It’s quite another to take issue with practicalities of mass deportation rather than treating it as a moral issue

The laziness and implied bias of the BBC here is extreme - "No 10 did not comment" presumably because the CPS and courts are independent, but there's no attempt to find anyone who would argue the opposite view, just the unchallenged whine of someone who called for asylum seekers to be burnt to death

Pride without prejudice x

An abomination. An affront to free speech and an acute threat to the consensus on terrorism www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

But are Reform really “making the political weather” as you, so uncritically say, Chris Mason, or are you making it for them by hyperventilating over each grubby little Tory-Reform-reshuffle, without *ever* properly scrutinising the howling failures of these deeply unpleasant, grifting clowns?

This may well be a test for the inhabitants of Bluesky. Regardless of what folk think of Labour and/or Reeves, do you show concern for someone who looks distressed/poorly, or do you revel in that?

It would, obviously, be asking too much for our media and political class to care more about the repeated, state-directed criminal massacres of starving civilians in Gaza than what some rappers say at Glastonbury. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On the plus side: we're returning to that blissed-out period in the noughties when a £ was worth two $ and we could holiday like kings in the US. On the down side: We can't actually go to the US because they'll arrest us.

They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.

These people are heroes

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"

We celebrated 40 years of Mildmay Hospital’s reopening and the start of our commitment to HIV care yesterday - a moment to celebrate, reflect, reconnect and share food, music, and memories with staff, patients and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who made it so special. #Mildmay40 #HIVCare

I think the fact that GMB is debating the merits of pride flags is rather terrifying and reflects where we are with LGBTQ+ lives at the minute.

I think it also shows that coming after trans lives are really about coming after all of us.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Reform on #bbcquestiontime AGAIN. And represented by their not-chairman Zia Yusuf - not even an accountable elected official. Far too much coverage of Reform on the BBC and too light of touch in challenging their policies (“policies”). The media are creating this monster. #questiontime.

If a government with over 400 seats and 4 years left to govern cannot summon the courage to level with the public on social care then I despair at the capacity of our political system to ever deliver the change we need.
