We're appalled by the deeply racist and misogynist comments of Reform Councillors that were aired by ITV last night, including from a former Birmingham Reform Councillor. These views should have no place in Birmingham and Councillor Feeney should resign. birmingham.greenparty.org.uk/2026/10/15/g...

"we deserve to be told the truth about the fairford bomb plotters' identities"snip from the Guardian just now:

"Five men arrested over suspected bomb plot are all British nationals, police say
The five men arrested over the suspected bomb plot at RAF Fairford are all British nationals from London and are all men in their 20s, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) has said.

In a statement, the CTP said they were detained on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act and preparation of a terrorist act contrary to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act. They are a 24-year-old from Camden, north London; three men aged 23, 24 and 25 from Westminster, and one aged 24 from Willesden, north-west London."

‘Their boat was sinking’: RNLI vows to keep rescuing asylum seekers despite attacks
Charity stresses small boat rescues are tiny part of its work and speaks out after volunteers abused by far-right agitators The lifeboat charity RNLI has vowed to continue to rescue asylum seekers in the Channel despite attacks on volunteers and staff after the recent high-profile small boat landings.
