Ask your MP to support the 'Abuse doesn't fly' campaign!
No one wants to have aggressive or disruptive passengers on their flight. They can cause delays and are a safety risk. But once the plane is in the air, there is not much that can be done. That's why...

Ian Hislop from @privateeyenews.bsky.social pointed out that during WW2 the RNLI rescued German and Italian crews, because their remit is the preservation of human life. They rescued people who were actively at war with our country, and they didn't face this level of hostility. This shit must stop!

When Farage abandons Reform and inevitably relaunches his bullshit, he should be brutally honest and just call it the Nasty Old Cunts Party, run by and for nasty old cunts.

Ulez has delivered remarkable public health gains in a short period. Sadiq deserves more credit than he’s had for defying Labour pressure to U-turn after Uxbridge. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .

£5million for his security and Farage pretends he’s been threatened and won’t turn up to thank the people who managed his monstrous tantrum by-election, staying up through the night counting votes… or the voters who let him get away with his gross abuse of power. From start to end, an epic disgrace.

Five million visitors. One safer city. As London welcomes millions this summer, we're continuing to make our city safer. In Westminster alone, neighbourhood crime is down by 36% in the last year.

Boris sharing articles referring to Ed Miliband as the worst possible choice for Foreign Secretary. A reminder that when Johnson was foreign sec he was busted getting a blow-job under his desk, had Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe jailed in Iran & got drunk & "accidentally" attended a KGB house party

I wonder how many death threats the quiet Sadiq Khan has received, as he requires round the clock security because of the targeting he gets from extremists. And who, on our political stage, has done the most to whip up that level of hatred and racism, if it isn’t v loud Farage? (BBC report extract)
Mr Khan said "I'm not going to allow racists to intimidate me"
Needing 24-hour police protection due to the “colour of his skin and the god he worships" has been "tough" on his family, the mayor of London has said.
Sadiq Khan told a fringe event at Labour's annual conference he had received "death threats" and "vitriol" since becoming mayor in 2016.
Mr Khan said the response of England footballers to the racist abuse they suffered after the Euro 2020 gave him "confidence to talk about it myself"

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

I went to America to talk to right wing nutters because they don't ask me why I tried to hide £5 million, how I paid for a £1.4m house with cash and whether I avoided £44,000 tax by buying a £885,000 house in my girlfriend's name.

Reform Political Advertising @reformpoliticalads.bsky.social · 19/06/2026
10 years on from Brexit, there are still no rules to stop lies in election ads. We’ve tabled amendments to prevent ads like the Brexit bus misleading voters again. Email your MP and ask them to sponsor them. 16 MPs have so far. It takes 30 seconds 👇 reformpoliticaladvertising.org/take-action/...

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Makerfield election today, if you are in the area do what you can to remind people that under Reform two if not all three England goal scorers wouldn't feel welcome, or might even be deported for their family's migration. Also, more importantly reform are incompetent grifters.

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums. Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

Incitement to riot is a serious criminal offence (Public Order Act 1986). So are encouraging/assisting offending, causing fear/provoking immediate violence, stirring up racial hatred, & terrorism (variously under POA 1986, Serious Crime Act 2007, Terrorism Act 2006 etc). Enforce the law.
