🧵 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

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

Present in Sweden for 9 years and married to a Swedish citizen. Looks like a clear breach of the Brexit withdrawal agreement but also of his right (and his wife's) to a family life. Really shameful conduct by Sweden.

According to Danish diplomats, Trump sought US control over the process of natural resource licensing and land use planning across Greenland. The answer was "no." Instead the US got precisely what the US has always had in terms of base rights and SOFA. The deal is a big nothing burger.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

I've been combing through Reform UK's latest party accounts. Reform UK took more in donations in 2025 than Labour and the Lib Dems combined...twice over. £31.9 million in donations in a non-GE year. It's staggering. They spent a lot (over £21m) but banked over £10m. Reform's war chest = £11.9m

I didn't mind if you were gay. Until you paraded in the streets in chaps and with dildos in front of families.
...
I didn't care if you were trans. Until you wanted access to my kids in school and wanted them to question their own sexuality and gender.
I didn't care if you were black or white or brown. Until you wanted to pull down statues, destroy our history, re-write our novels and pay you reparations.
I didn't care if you wanted to cross borders. Until you decided to do so illegally and then started criminal enterprises in the country you entered or lived off the welfare system.
I even didn't mind if you wanted an abortion, until you started celebrating them and calling the fœtus a "clump of cells".
I am not the only one. There are millions of people just like me. And we are angry now and will fight back.
The line must be drawn here.
