Interestingly Sky cut away from the Trump presser during RFK Jr’s stream of consciousness to issue quite a robust fact check.

Doesn't it feel like there should be some kind of organised, anti-hate campaign to get public bodies, politicians, media etc to ditch X? (Not sure who would convene it, but still)

Tommy Robinson attracted approx. 100,000. 100,000 too many for sure. Pride attracts 1.5 million. We are 15x gayer than we are racist. Sorry Tommy.

Mandelson wont go of his own accord. The more the government doubles down on supporting him the more the optics are “covering up for nonces” Not only does it damage the government and Labour Party, it’s another knife in public trust in politics.

“Save are kidz” in action. The kids who need saving are those whose parents behave like this in front of them. Poor fucking guy, minding his own business, takes part in a vox pop, and is then submitted to a tirade of racial abuse by the dreck of British society.

I’m losing count of all the reasons that validate my leaving the party. McSweeney really doesn’t see any problem with the collapse of even the soft left support base and it becomes clearer by the day that Starmer has no political compass. Landslide to double digit seats in 1 election? Possible

This piece by @anandmenon.bsky.social sums up superbly what many people who either aren't 'White British' (or because of their skin tone don't pass as such) are feeling right now. It's a deeply uncomfortable read, but then it's a deeply uncomfortable feeling for them. Do read if you get a mo.

Meanwhile in Lincoln, patriotism has reached new heights by the spray painting of a shit, uneven, St George’s Cross on the wall of a grade 2 listed church. Desecrating a church and vandalising national heritage. A gammony double-whammy. I’m sure it’s gone a long way to ‘protect are kidz’

Two points worth noting on the Farage stuff today. 1. The Tories have completely ceded the August opportunity to get publicity when govt slows down to Reform. Nothing to suggest they're not headed fast towards oblivion. 2. Labour look even more lost than before. Paralysed with indecision and fear.

If you’re at any of the protests against the Fash and any of these YouTube Auditors start harassing you just play any copyrighted music. Immediately invokes a strike against their videos and they can’t use the content. Something obvious like “Come On Eileen” or “Waterloo” does the trick

I’ve been monitoring protests outside asylum seeker accommodation all weekend. Of the 11 announced protests only Epping, Norwich, Leeds and Canary Wharf got more than a handful of people and all combined was probably little over 1000 ppl. Still worrying but important not to frame as a mass uprising!

Free-to-air cycling ends in 🇬🇧 today with the final stage of the #TDF . A truly sad day, it’s one of the only ITV broadcasts I watch and they’ve been excellent for years. A massive own goal in sticking it behind a paywall. It’s now going to be lost in a sea of football.

I don’t think I’ve seen scenes of famine like those from #Gaza since Michael Buerk was in Ethiopia. Red Cross now estimating half a million at risk of famine. That’s Ethiopia levels, especially on a per capita level. The RAF airdropped aid then and should now.
