No. 10 communications were being directed!?

Infuriating!

Seriously, amongst all the other stuff going on, Kier Starmer needs to meet with disabilty campaigner Joe Hardy. Perspective gained, problem understood - please get it done?

🚨Gorton and Denton by-election

“I’ve said it time and time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reforms candidate Matt Goodwin

The European Convention on Human Rights protects us all. It grants our right to protest, our right to privacy, our right to fair trials. And so much more

Exactly! A feeding frenzy to change PM / Govt whilst the actual people who did these heinous things are skating on them. SMDH...

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.
Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

@natashaclark.bsky.social Every credit, you were the first journalist to ask a sensible question of Starmer, rather than going for sensationalism like those who should know better.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy.

If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

Law firm representing Renee Good's family releases findings from independent autopsy

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE

The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast

The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side

He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot

That’s murder

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy arriving home, say school officials Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The Board of Peace "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

A reader‘s letter in the times which reads as follows: Old adversaries Sir, Your obituary (Jan 19) of Mr Justice Blofeld rightly referred to his fine sense of humour. When he first sat in Winchester a barrister called Richard Bond stood up to open the first case. Mr Justice Blofeld began to stroke the white ermine on the sleeve of his High Court judge's robes as if stroking a cat. He then said with a smile: "We meet at last, Mr Bond."

Farage hails Trump inspiration' at Reform UK rally

Farage isn't even Trump’s poodle.

He's his novelty toilet brush.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.

Gosh. Story has gone from 0 to 60 in the UK. Is leading BBC News this morning.

More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Busily tweeting Psalms apparently…

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Without the ECHR justice might never have been served for Hillsborough Without article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights the gross negligence behind the deaths at Hillsborough would never have been uncovered

"If you celebrated justice for Hillsborough, you have to support the European Convention on Human Rights

Without article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights the gross negligence behind the deaths at Hillsborough would never have been uncovered"

THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . .

A brief reminder that not all journalists doorstep celebs or focus on stirring up moral panic.
Some sacrifice their lives to bring us the truth

UK politicians and media have stirred up so much hatred.

Time to say: NO.

Time to reclaim British values of fairness, tolerance and compassion

Puzzling as to how the US Veep can feel safe bringing his family to a riot torn hellhole country without any freedom of speech.

Obviously he has security, but could it be just possibly that those claims are on closer inspection almost complete nonsense.
