Essex's Reform council have banned libraries from "promoting" LGBTQ+ and Black history events and materials. Libraries are for *everyone*. Let librarians do their work without turning Essex into Trump’s America. Sign the petition to make them scrap this! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/li...

Most Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds
Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave, according to the first publicly available poll of those in Nigel Farage’s party. The findings come as the Reform leader attempts to court centre-ground voters while facing pressure from his right-flank, including a hardline new party launched by Rupert Lowe, who left Reform after falling out with Farage.

"This feeds into the far-right trope that migrants in the UK are imposing their culture and language on us," says @lewisgoodall.com. Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick and now Manchester Utd co-owner Jim Ratcliffe – has extreme language about migrants become 'normalised' in the UK?

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 15/09/2025
We must unite against those who seek to divide us.
I know many people, particularly from London's diverse communities, are feeling extremely worried following the events this weekend. 

It takes me back to how I felt growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, when 
far-right political parties marched on our streets.

The leaders of the far-right are once again attempting to hijack our flag, with minorities being intimidated and fear, hatred and division being sown.

As Londoners, and as proud Brits, we must unite to reject the far-right 
– just as we have many times before.  

But it’s going to take a huge effort from us all – from people of all races and backgrounds, who are willing to stand up for our British values of equality, inclusion and mutual respect.    

As Mayor, I'll continue to do everything I can to challenge the far-right and all those who peddle the politics of fear and division.

I urge other politicians and Londoners to do the same.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN

"There is a straight line from the virulently anti-immigrant far-right protests of the past to the current spate of flag-waving. They are being used to send a message, to make a 'protest' about what Britain has lost… to migrants," writes Dr Kehinde Andrews Read more: trib.al/FbIfVMd

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza. But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

I mean Trump today is quite literally releasing far right extremist paramilitary leaders who staged an insurrection. America, even American liberal media, is responding with an exhausted and defeated shrug.
