My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

Because it’s a Nazi hellhole.

Watch: Driver who refused to give name to cops had 'Daniel' tattooed on neck A driver refused to confirm his details when he was pulled over by the police but officers spotted he had his own name tattooed on his neck.

Your all too frequent reminder that they walk among us. Not him for six months, obviously.

👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽

When Labour came to power in 1997, a staggering 283,866 people were waiting 6 months or more for an operation.

By 2007 the number was down to 199.

Just one astonishing fact I came across while recording this and it's a reminder that government really can change things - for the better.

Reform and the Greens.

Soft on Russia. Weak on NATO.

Latest odds on Nadhim’s man who looked like he may be violent & hadn’t slept for a week:

I thought the government was supposed to stop leaks?

I agree. European naivety vs US Realpolitik. We're a partner that doesn't want a leave an abusive relationship.

Free piece just released. Marco Rubio called on tolerant, democratic, liberal Europe to destroy itself and embrace a Trump-like future. He received a standing ovation and we are told some people are reassured. If so, Europe will deserve everything coming its way. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Stockport Express ad board: DOMINATRIX “WON’T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT”.

The safe word is “Ron is innocent”

Nigel Farage in answering Nick Robinson's question about why he believes Britain is broken gave an analysis of falling net migration that is demonstrably factually inaccurate. "It is so broken and its declining so quickly that anybody with a dispassionate view can see it. It is quite interesting. Just look at the net migration numbers. 'Oh isn't it good net migration is coming down?' But do you know why? It is because there is an exodus. There is now an exodus.Those who are of a situation and a financial position to have a choice are now fleeing the country in numbers". This is factually incorrect. Net migration fell year on year by 465,00 in the most recent Official of National Statisitcs figures: the year to June 2025. This was not because of an "exodus" (an increase in emigration). It is because immigration fell by 401,000 (to 898,000 from 1.299 million the previous year). That accounts for 90% of the big drop in net migration. The increase in emigration by 41,000 was a minor component. Most of the increase in emigration was of non-EU nationals. British citizens made up a third of emigrants, but there was no significant increasse in British emigration, which was at very similar levels in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025: it is not a significant cause of the drop in net migration. Nick Robinson did tell Mr Farage that he was exaggerating the number of people who don't speak English - and BBC Verify did produce an analysis showing that was a five-fold exaggeration. But this central incorrect claim about immigration and net migration was not caught in the programme, or before broadcast. It should at least be scrutinised and corrected afterwards - so that an accurate account of why net migration fell (primarily a reduction in immigration visas to the UK) can be communicated to the audience.

I have asked the BBC to scrutinise + correct the factually inaccurate claims made by Mr Nigel Farage about why net migration fell in 'Political Thinking with Nick Robinson'

What about the safety of staff?

Hospital employee arrested on suspicion of rape but is still working 'I honestly have no words. I'm in total shock'

An employee of University Hospital of Wales has been arrested on suspicion of rape, strangulation and other crimes

To the outrage of the complainant, the hospital has decided not to suspend him.

He is in a “non-patient facing role” while on police bail.

Wild that a sitting member of Congress, a Republican no less, feels compelled to post this.

😕🇺🇸💰

Copied from Twitter But someone pass over to POTUS will you!

Put another way, that's about five well equipped motorhomes.

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

Cartoon by Nick Anderson

What does he want to happen? Police squads snatching tired-looking people off the streets? Drones tranquilsing people who “look like they might be violent”? What does he say, specifically, should be done?

A bloke has just phoned LBC before his night shift to complain about seeing a bald fat twat chuntering about being denied a peerage while trying to get home from work this morning.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

The BBC has responded to complaints about this coverage, acknowledging that it gave too little prominence to the facts against the false claims

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney X.com BREAKING: ICE director Todd LYONS says the two officers involved in the Jan. 14 chase/ shooting incident appear to have lied under oath and are being investigated by DOJ. This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended them as firing in self-defense. politico.com/news/ 2026/02/1... Attributable to Todd Lyons: Today, a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DO) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements. Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation. Lying under oath is a serious federal offense. The U.S. Attorney's Office is actively investigating these false statements. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment, as well as potential criminal prosecution. The men and women of ICE are entrusted with upholding the rule of law and are held to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct. Violations of this sacred sworn oath will not be tolerated. ICE remains fully committed to transparency, accountability, and the fair enforcement of our nation's immigration laws.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side.

Will DHS retract the prior claims?
