Absolute perfection. #Reform
Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day
and he thinks Farage is the right man to
sort Britain out. He says he reminds him
of one of the commanders he fought
alongside with distinction. In the next
few weeks he's going to auction off his
medals and donate all the money to
Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

Wait a minute.....so it is definitely not safe to have Maccabi Tel Aviv fans to come and visit your football ground in the middle of the one of the biggest multicultural cities in England. I think we can put this argument to bed now. *eye rolls*

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

Being pro-Palestinian is not being anti-Jewish. Just as being pro-Jewish is not being anti-Palestinian. Irresponsible language and framing from the Home Secretary. It is perfectly right that people both protest the Gaza genocide and mourn the Manchester attack.

We must explore other fundraising platforms that doesn't profit from charity and hard work that people have done in raising money for good deeds.

“It is astonishing just how fully right wingers have come to dominate social media. The default for teenagers who are on the internet is for them to be sucked into a world where they are bombarded with content from Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate, Fuentes, Peterson.” Dreadful but important 🧵

Whenever you legislate for more powers, you shouldn’t think about what your government would do with them, but what a future bad (evil or incompetent - or both!) government might do with them.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

Men: “I respect women.”
Also men:
• “I approached her respectfully.”
• “I came at her like a gentleman.”
• “I wasn't rude when I walked up.”
Respect isn't expecting something back for showing a woman basic decency.
Respect means being decent without expecting anything at all.

Here's a fact for you all. Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK. Not ONE. This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit. But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Water companies say their industry is 'too expensive to nationalise'. Billionaires say a wealth tax would 'force them to leave the country'. House builders say rent controls would 'make housing more expensive'. Time to stop listening to this kind of self-interested bollocks.

Not self-defence. Not even collateral damage. Collective punishment. In other words, revenge… Astonished to find myself agreeing with Lord Sumption but every word of this, on Gaza, from the @NewStatesman’s front page, is powerfully, painfully true.

That's why you can't rely on charity..... Education, welfare, health care, housing, public transport, Internet, water and energy should be basic fundamental human needs, not to be left to private sector to pull rug under you or rip you off.

The PIP cuts are horrifying. The presupposition that there are jobs for people who can't put on trousers or use the toilet is obscene. The only job that would allow one to go around half naked, while shitting themselves in public, is being a UK politician.

Every word of this is depraved beyond belief. ICE abducted a six year old with leukemia, threatened him with a gun such that he wet himself, and has denied him medical treatment. I don’t know what to say. www.tpr.org/border-immig...
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

The family was then transported to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, where they have been detained for several weeks.

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in San Antonio by the Immigrant Rights Clinic and The Texas Civil Rights Project.
