🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵
Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.

I don't know if it's just that this UK government missed the context of growing up in Ireland in the 90s, but they should probably be aware that gangs of lads in balaclavas don't have the best intentions for the public.

Flat-out far right. If your explicit policy goal is to "protect Europe's Christian cultural heritage" - done via expelling people who aren’t that - you are the far right. That's not hard right; it's not Tory or even UKIP, it's BNP. These are the people Shabana Mahmood is such a big fan of.

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.
Reuters tweeted: "Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, praising the country's long tradition of welcoming immigrants in his first major address to the United States." They then attached a video of the Pope speaking. 

Someone named NoraNH replied: "The Declaration of Independence doesn’t mention immigrants"The Declaration of Independence.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

One has to accept that a society where someone as deeply trivial and unserious as Farage is spoken of as a significant politician is a society that is seriously diminished. The UK has fallen very, very low. And yet it seems incapable of realising it.

This was the biggest judgement call of Badenoch's leadership and she got it badly wrong. She then blamed Labour's refusal to back the war on Muslim voters, "whose political loyalties are swayed by conflicts in the Middle east, not the British national interest". It was a shocking, shameful episode

This may true over the long term but the article strikes me as far too hopeful about the timescale. The logic of Martin's original prediction is that Westminster would already be talking about rejoining. But it isn't. It can't even confront free movement. No, we've still got a long road ahead.
