Hillsborough Law will 'criminalise lying' by senior ministers, say campaigners
It's via a new standalone offence - which will apply to the prime minister - of "misleading the public", punishable by up to two years in jail.
We’ve all had enough of politicians lying to us, right?
Reckon on that we can all agree
Which is why I’m absolutely buzzing for this legislation that would criminalise lying in politics
…”punishable by up to two years in jail!”

The Jenrick/Farage fallout will be fun. Hard to pick a side, mind. Like being offered a choice between a hair sandwich & a toenail-topped panini.

Dear Patricia Clegg
(the lady from the Reform letter)
You say your energy bills are rising - do you think the fossil fuel‑linked lads at Reform are going to fix that?
You mention food costing more - wild thought, but does Brexit, supply chains, and red tape ring any bells?

So in tonight's vote on the 2 child cap, braverman and jenrick voted with the government while their new party voted against???? Vote against the Tory leader or against reform party policy. 🤔😅😅😅 Interesting @mrjamesob.bsky.social ?

Funny that it's British men being in the Epstein files and no American...like the president. Even more reason we move away from the USA and closer to other countries? A phone in James? Not a conspiracy theorist, just blind common sense in tonight's media coverage.....🤔

Neither Reform UK nor Matt Goodwin Speak for the Working Class
Both can only ever speak about it - usually from London studios - while advancing policies that would actively hurt it.
Neither Reform UK nor Matt Goodwin speak for the working class - the former because of policy, the latter because of misplacement.
The veneer is starting to turn transparent, and voters in Gorton and Denton deserve better than the culture-war politics that are the only thing on offer.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Horrified & heartbroken by the latest ICE murder in Minneapolis.
Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse & beloved son.
Americans, please know how many millions of us here in the UK are sickened by Trump and his fascist thugs, and stand in solidarity with all of you resisting them 🇬🇧🇺🇸

🇨🇦I think I speak for all Canadians when I say “fuck off Trump!!”🇨🇦 he’s a bully. His truth social posts only inflame the situation. Just like Minneapolis. He’s making things worse.

That’s not even close to an apology. And besides, Denmark lost more people per head of the population than *any* other country in Afghanistan. The obviousness of his contempt for crucial alliances matches the obviousness of his contempt for the truth.

Donald trump is no president. He is the worst “leader” in the work world. He doesn’t understand economics, has 4th grade English and math skills. Hasn’t got a high school knowledge of basic economics and as for biology, climatology and any other science, he hasn’t a clue. He is a pathetic worm

'The Minnesota man who was killed by federal agents on Saturday has been identified as Alex Pretti, 37, a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, which serves veterans.'

Jeremy Hunt says that Donald Trump is bullying Europe into submission over Greenland because he thinks Europe is weak and can't defend itself
Your reminder that Jeremy Hunt repeatedly underfunded the NHS. He knows a thing or two about making nations weak, he spent 6 years doing that to our NHS

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

It’s been two weeks since the statutory deadline expired for the Justice Department to explain to Congress the reason for any redactions. Trump’s crew has missed that deadline as well.
