This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. πŸ’”

Instead of headline grabbing stuff like this which will have little effect, let’s reopen safe routes so refugees can apply for asylum and visas whilst on mainland Europe and successful applicants can come here and find work immediately.

This was so disheartening to listen to - Ken Martin seemed to be saying the bleeding obvious - to think that such basic processes and policy are not in place within the democratic movement is of great concern

How can potential Reform UK voters be won back?

YouGov, commissioned by B4B, asked 3,000 people planning or considering voting for Reform UK which criticisms of Farage and Reform UK would make them reconsider.

Here’s what we found out ⬇️

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

"More than a century and a half ago, this country ignored the explicit words of men who sought to raise an empire of slavery, transformed them into gallant knights who sought only to preserve their beloved Camelot.

Words are not violence, nor are they powerless."

Kinnock tells Starmer to consider rejoining the EU to tackle small boats crisis Lord Kinnock says he understands it would not be easy but β€˜if we really want sustained economic growth, we have to be part of a body of the single market with our nearest neighbours’

Rejoin the EU to solve UK’s economic woes and tackle small boats crisis, Kinnock tells Starmer.

The economy would gain Β£100bn, the government Β£40bn.

We would be part of the Dublin Protocol again, meaning we could return irregular migrants back to France.

The Dutch rip the hell out of Donald Trump and Disney for the ridiculous Jimmy Kimmel firing.

This is what you call Free Speech, Trump.

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

If the government can celebrate scaring a critic off TV, the punchline writes itself β€” and it’s from 1933.

This is a disgrace they need to fire the person at the BBC who is charge of the News, they are clearly biased.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social are we not respecting free speech any more? What the hell are you allowing to happen by arresting protestors left, right and centre? Correction… arresting those on the left. You cannot pretend to be protecting your founding ideals - Starmer is leaning towards the right.

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us."

What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that.

What contempt for voters. ~AA
