The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

At least 860 UK healthcare workers died of covid-19 and the British Medical Association says the true number is likely to be higher. Yet Michelle Mone unashamedly defends her cynical profiteering.

Just heard Chris Philp on BBC’s Today programme explaining why the Tories want to leave the ECHR. He claimed ECHR isn’t mentioned in Belfast Agreement - which is simply untrue. The UK govt agreed to incorporate it into NI law & give direct access to the courts (Strand 3). Why no BBC fact-check?

The ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation. In an age of upheaval and division, we must not let it be torn up for political convenience

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does. E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.

Well done @kevmag.bsky.social. There needs to be more pushback on these lies, deliberately spread to deflect, falsify and stoke anger. Shame on those with the means to deny them who at best stay silent, at worst repeat and reheat them.

Trump is a f*cking madman. I’m not a fan of the word ‘traitor’. It’s been hi-jacked imho by the far right. But goodness me. It seems to me Trump fits that label right now. As a traitor to democracy. To the free world. You ok America? Is this what you wanted?
