Putting this guy in charge of administering my will

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.

In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000.

Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

I shouldn’t be, but I am genuinely shocked at quite how low this govt is willing to go. Utterly shameful stuff.

Congratulations to Labour who have won the coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement. Excited for sensibles to explain to me why I have to vote for the people enacting actual fascist policy.

Checking in on Rudy Giuliani, I see he's having an insane one

i love winding the clocks back an hour. you get an extra hour of sleep and the only downside is several months of horrible despair.

A cat is seen riding a bus. They are standing up and have their front paws on the back of the front seat.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

Good thing I’m not totally reliant on the external routine and structure that, say, working a job might provide me! (It’s fine, I will be fine, just need to descend into madness for a few days before I rebuild)

Big week for yr old pal KD. Officially unemployed after taking voluntary redundancy, and got my ADHD diagnosis. Naturally, I’m freaking out. But also relieved and excited. But also terrified.

Can confirm

It was the omg of times, it was the Jfc of times

Congrats guys! 💕🎉

I don't think it is callous of me to observe that it is weird to see the PM of the UK, the leader of the Opposition of the UK, and the ex UK PM all putting out solemn and devastated tweets about the death of a podcaster who is only a big name if you're constantly on Twitter

Everyone talks about young people playing their music out loud on public transport, but I just heard the Microsoft Teams notification from someone’s laptop and instinctively wanted to fight

oh, okay then

Girls only want one thing and it’s pickles in a bucket

Petition: Add intersex to the Equality Act as a protected characteristic We want the government to make sex variations a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

Okay so petitions don't do much usually, but this is a good one I think. It raises a narrow point of law, it would make a huge difference to intersex Britons, and most legislation intended to be anti-trans is also directly anti-intersex. It's low at the mo. You can help!

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Starmer’s Labour.

right but ‘death to the IDF’ wasn’t an internal matter for Glastonbury

I would say “extreme views” do not come much more extreme than “this genocide is a golden opportunity”.

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".

And so it begins.

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!

Nandy demanding what "due diligence" they did, like the BBC asked them if they were going to chant "death to the IDF" and they said no

Police in Somerset say they are assessing comments made on stage by rap punk duo Bob Vylan and Irish-language rap group Kneecap at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday. The government has "strongly condemned" chants from Bob Vylan who called for "death" to the Israeli military during their performance which was broadcast live on the BBC. Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [lsrael Defense Forces]". A BBC spokesperson said some of the comments were "deeply offensive", adding it had issued a warning on screen about "very strong and discriminatory language". The set will not be available to rewatch on BBC iPlayer. The Israeli Embassy posted on the social media site X that it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric".

After Bob Vylan's performance, a government spokesperson said Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy had spoken to BBC director general Tim Davie to seek an "urgent explanation about what due diligence" the broadcaster carried out ahead of airing the act. The government added that it welcomed the decision not to re-broadcast the performance on BBC iPlayer.

I mean, this is just straight up censorship by the government and the BBC
