At being a black person the media isn't trying to lynch (yet)?

Will check back for the next 3 years (and counting) to see if you remember victims of the revenge attacks on an equally innocent population.

Presumably we can look forward to you remembering the victims of the devastating acts of terrorism in revenge for the next 3 years and counting.

Why is it that one set of civilians were murdered but another were merely killed? What an awful view to have of this tragedy.

The government is slashing in half the teams that store, collect and analyse the data that the government wants measuring in the NCP. I'm sure that makes sense to someone.

With Blue "Labour", that would mark almost no change. Especially in the Home Office...

That was a dreadful day and so sad that instead of rejecting the politics of the assassin, they have been embraced wholeheartedly ever since.

If you just substitute the words 'working age' for 'fighting age', suddenly the arrival of youngish men and women doesn't sound threatening. Rather, it sounds like exactly what we need for an ageing population.

The decision of a growing number of forces to ditch Palantir shows it is simply not delivering value for money on contracts. It raises further questions about the risk:reward ratio of entrusting the company with sensitive data and contracts.

No idea but I bet it's split a lot of (potential) voters from them. Fortunately there's no by-election coming up.

I agree some racists were expelled. However, I would stake my house that a significant number remain (including, but not limited to, many antisemites) and this is apparently ok. I can't (ok, I can) believe how naive the green party has been.

The current government in its directions to the IDF is, yes, but no state is inescapably anything.

JB @jbpol.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I absolutely abhor what the IDF is doing but this afternoon has just hastened the @greenparty.org.uk's journey into the same electoral cul-de-sac that Corbyn's more questionable followers dragged Labour into. What were they thinking?
