German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda

‘Destroying the Labour party’ also known as delivering the largest Labour majority in generations.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

Firstly, it's 'Prime Minister Starmer' to you.

Secondly you can keep your Islamophobic tropes about our country to yourself.

Your dismissive response on recognising the State of Palestine, coming from a man wanted by the International Criminal Court, proves our Govt was right.

Things are not really that bad: balancing the government’s books This government has become identified with a few bad mistakes. But the real balance of achievements points to a rather different picture

Two thirds of Labour’s promises are on track or achieved.

But sadly, politics isn’t about balance sheets—it’s about perception.

Farage pledges to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants Reform says mass deportation would save £234bn as it warns ‘Boriswave’ of migration will take critical toll on welfare system

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

We didn’t deliver, scarpered in 48 and left chaos behind. For many, recognition is the least we can do- and long overdue.

Paris exprime sa solidarité avec toutes les victimes civiles palestiniennes et Israéliennes.

Second group of Gaza students due to arrive in Ireland A second group of students from Gaza are due to arrive in Ireland this morning to begin their studies at four universities in Ireland.

Yeah realpolitik etc, but laying on bells, whistles and pomp for a head of state who says "immigration destroys countries from within" is, by definition, another step into the void

Next one of Trump's personally picked journalists tries to get a dig in at lack of free speech in the UK.. this just hours after the White House regime forced a satirist off air for talking about Republicans politicising the killing of Charlie Kirk.

GB News asks the Prime Minister if Britain is still a Christian country. Hours after the US President met the King and head of the Church of England.

A Sikh woman was raped in broad daylight this weekend by white men shouting racist abuse.

Racism and misogyny go hand in glove.

The mainstreaming of anti-migrant politics and racist rhetoric have created a situation where violence against women is more likely, not less.

“Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.” — Ed Davey.

Politicians from all parties must come together to condemn Elon Musk’s dangerous call for violence and make clear it has no place in our country.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

The people marching in London today are very obviously the ideological descendants of the Mosleyite BUF fascists of the 1930s.

The mainstream news and media are too timid to point it out, but that's what they are - and we normalise it at our peril.

It really must be clear now, to any decent-minded person, that the primary political activity of the next few years is to destroy this party.

Racist couple ask British nurse if she 'came here on a rubber boat' The couple demanded to know if the nurse, who has worked for the NHS for 12 years, 'came here on a rubber boat' and hurled water at her her during the assault at a park in Halifax on Thursday.

You might well ask whether the current political climate is creating a permissive environment for this kind of racist abuse.

Trump chooses not to end the Gaza slaughter. That’s why I’ll boycott the state dinner when he meets King Charles | Ed Davey To refuse an invitation like this goes against all my instincts, but I want to send as strong a message as I can, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

"I fear we could have a situation where Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying starvation, deaths and captivities in Gaza."

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Far-right anger over asylum hotels is destroying the very idea of refuge – and that’s probably the goal | Zoe Williams The court ruling on the Bell hotel does not just legitimise anti-immigrant sentiment; it also risks erasing a whole category of people, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

‘Threatening letters’ and cancelled committees: inside Reform UK’s Kent takeover The takeover of Kent County Council by Reform UK in the spring local elections has proved to be fractious, fraught and sometimes farcical, but no one’s laughing

Utter mayhem caused by Reform, sorry Kent you should never have voted them in!
