Robert Jenrick complained of β€˜not seeing another white face’ in Birmingham neighbourhood Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on short visit

Robert Jenrick is particularly vile not because of his views. He doesn't have any views. His particular loathsomeness is that he is utterly amoral in what he is prepared to say for perceived advantage, without any care for consequences.

This is shocking racism from Jenrick and Badenoch should sack him immediately.

No further comment necessary.

There’s some deeply worrying crap coming out of Downing Street, it’s so dangerous when a reform/tory alliance seems inevitable. We need strong, united resistance, not more splitting.

Helps to bear in mind that Sam Bidwell is 25 and has never done anything resembling a policy job.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

BBC now suggesting they didn't interview Zack Polanski on Laura Kuenssberg when he was elected because they weren't on air then. Which is technically true because he was elected on a Tuesday. However, they did air just days later on Sunday and featured interviews with Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch

Project 2025: The Manual for Making America Obey Again (Part 1) Heritage Foundation’s playbook for Trump 2.0 shows what happens when authoritarian ambition meets bureaucratic precision.

When I first heard about Project 2025, I thought it was conspiracy nonsense - too brazen, too cartoonishly evil to be real.

Then Trump called it β€œsevere right”… and started enacting it.

Part One of my two-part deep dive into the authoritarian playbook now shaping the United States.

"Deported" is a very interesting way to say kidnapped, imprisoned illegally, abused, then released. πŸ€”

Asylum hotel protesters 'hit in the heart' to move East Devon demo Asylum hotel protesters in East Devon moved their demonstration after learning the plight of the migrant women and their kids housed there

This story is well worth reading. Asylum hotel protestors decided to pack up and go after learning more about the refugees inside and discovering Sidmouth and Honiton Tories had been lying about who they were.

Here’s a little memory nudge for Michelle Mone - as to where some of that public money went, from her now bankrupt company, that failed so badly to supply the protective equipment it was overpaid to provide (the VIP lane ensured that) - in the middle of a Pandemic…..

Because we don't think it could ever happen here we are saying absolutely nothing as it happens here. If the right wins in 2029, their promise is the mass deportation of millions and the end of human rights. The right currently enjoys 50%+ support. The silence on this is absolutely extraordinary.

Keir Starmer has an election trump card that literally nobody is talking about David Cameron did it back in 2015, Keir Starmer could do it again in 2029. With the party suffering, is it time to ask the question again?

β€œKeir Starmer has an election trump card…If Starmer wants to change the conversation – to turn the contest on its head – the answer might be staring him in the face. Ask the country the question again.”

That lack of context seriously annoys me - the Telegraph notes that this β€œhorde” is fully made up of skilled workers, so it would be good to understand in what capacity they’ve been hired, under which terms - or at the very least just link to the damned source.

Just to note, the β€œhordes” being referred to in this @telegraphnews.bsky.social headline works out to around 400 overseas workers employed by the civil service - or around 0.07% of the total civil service workforce.

Maybe we have a year to save our country from full dictatorship. Maybe less.

No one is coming to save us. Its our turn to be strong- unafraid to stand for our rights and freedoms

The msm pursued the Rayner story in such detail it forced her resignation . Now there’s a much bigger scandal concerning Farage of possible treason it’s like they’ve forgotten how to spell investigate & corruption. It’s not only Farage who has a Russian problem, if our msm protects him we all do .
