Extraordinary that truths based on post-war anti-fascist values are confined to fringe events of the Tory conference, while Robert Jenrick is given the main stage to promote nativist white nationalism.

Email your MP: unfreeze housing benefit Ask your MP to tell to the Chancellor to unfreeze housing benefit to prevent homelessness.

Please share if you can. Housing benefit is failing to cover the true cost of rent, it’s forcing people across Britain into poverty, ill health and homelessness.
I’ve asked my MP to urge the Chancellor to fix this at the UK Budget. @crisis-uk.bsky.social‬

Greta Thunberg gives her first words after she was released from Israeli prison where she was beat and forced to kiss the Israeli flag. She says the story is not about them, the story is about Gaza.

Leader's Speech - Zack Polanski at Green Party Conference 2025 YouTube video by Green Party of England & Wales

Whatever your party politics, @zackpolanski.bsky.social leaders speech deserves to be heard..

Penny Mordant just claimed, on Kuenssberg, that there are antisemitic professional organisations in the UK that people must join in order to work. I think she is talking about trade unions. Quite astonishing. For reference, closed shops have been illegal in the UK for 35 years.

Absolute Stirchley legend telling the flaggers some hard truths

Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday

The Home Office sham "consultation" on cumulative protests closed on 29 September, so this immediate announcement shows Labour had already decided – yet again – to expand public order powers, well before the Manchester attack that is now used to justify it

This is very late, because it’s been a very long day. But this is from talking to Manchester’s Jewish community

Arrested/not arrested:

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

‘The reason so many in the country are going far right is because [you tried to make us woke] [you pushed for diversity] [you didn’t talk about immigration enough] [you pronounce it Farij] is getting really old now, peeps. Take some responsibility for yourself. Just say you love racism.

There’s an even bigger conspiracy and it goes even deeper. It turns out that well over half of Parliament and thousands of councillors around the country are all members of a leftist organisation called “The Labour Party”.

'Blue Labour' and the Thiel Effect: How MAGA Is Making In-Roads Into British Politics The ideology of the ‘Make America Great Again’ movement, which has transformed politics in the United States, is having an impact in the UK. But how is this influence being transmitted?

Lord Glasman "sought out, and was sought after, by some of the most important Trumpworld movers and shakers" JD Vance, Steve Bannon... Curtis Yarvin and "as @bylinetimes.bsky.social can reveal – the tech baron and Palantir data firm founder, Peter Thiel"

hahahaha I love that this ghoul was saying this AT A MEMORIAL OF HIS FRIEND

Call for probe into claim PM aide Morgan McSweeney hid £700k donations The Tories say they have obtained private legal advice to Morgan McSweeney (pictured), which points to a deliberate attempt to mislead the Electoral Commission.

How Morgan McSweeney lobbied to get Murdoch invited to banquet

They sat next to each other

Very interesting given the airing of the first episode of The Hack on ITV this week

Utterly cowardice from Nick. He should pretend he's interviewing a woman, especially women from Labour.

I haven’t been able to verify this but this is frightening. If anyone knows anymore about this please can you contact me.

Zack Polanski, "Are you comfortable with the most powerful man on earth banning books, militarising the police?"

Penny Mordaunt, "That's not the point"

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

Feel the burn

“Imagine if Corbyn [xyz]” is largely pointless coz…yeah, hypocrisy exists, who knew. But I have found myself thinking about how a story about a Corbyn aide who, when very junior, had used their work chat to write about extremely depraved sexual scenarios about, say, Liz Kendall might have gone down.

Police search for 11 violent disorder suspects after ‘unite the kingdom’ march Met ask public for help identifying those who aimed ‘kicks and punches’ at officers among other offences

The Met had no trouble hunting down climate activists and genocide protesters for being in the wrong zoom calls but seems to find it very hard to find a tiny proportion of the far-right thugs who literally assaulted them.

Senior Starmer adviser quits over offensive Diane Abbott messages

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

This epitomises Starmerism for me.

Scrapping an investment that's proven to reduce reoffending to generating short-term cash while ballooning long-term *cost* (and harm). Prioritising their own individual power and careers over the actual wellbeing of the country they're supposed to be governing.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality.

They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead.

Our country needs a change in direction, now.

It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.
