UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

He’s have an inconvenient journalist chopped up with a bone saw in a nanosecond if he could.
Just like the gurning psychopath sitting next to him did.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Emails highlight Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon relationship New documents show the pair discussing travel arrangements and UK politics in messages from 2018.

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk…

'BBC Bias' Memo Was Authored by Lobbyist Tied to Pro-Trump Tech Giants The leaked memo that fuelled Trump’s attack on the BBC was written by a lobbyist at a firm paid by US tech giants tied to the President

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier.

The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

That renowned and respected lover of truth and journalistic integrity.... THE KREMLIN.... has stepped up to defend Trump in his battle against the BBC.

SO that's Farage, Netanyahu, Putin, and Boris Johnson...

The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit Davie says

This is absolutely nuts

Trump did incite the January 6 riot. Splicing a video to make that point is shoddy editorial but hardly a resignation event

When BBC is needed more than ever, Telegraph/Boris Johnson running the show

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it

We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Rees-Mogg wife’s ancestral home benefits from £7.6m state rescue Stern critic of chancellor welcomes Wentworth Woodhouse ‘gimmick’

This is Jacob Rees-Mogg's wife's ancestral home. In 2016, we gave them £7.6 million to renovate it. Rees-Mogg described the decision as "excellent." Last year, they got an extra £5.1 million to do up the stables.

If you're not angry, you must be a Rees-Mogg...

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

Train hero who saved passengers during attack named The rail worker credited with saving multiple lives is named as Samir Zitouni.

Samir Zitouni the rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during mass stabbing on a train, “critically unwell“ in hospital is who Farage/Reform/Lowe & Tory Katie Lam would deport..

Lucy Connelly convicted for race hate is what right wing view as a hero

He saved lives she wanted them taken❗️

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Caught out in a lie: The truth is that Farage met with the Russian Ambassador Yakovenko on May 13th 2013. This was 14 months before his notorious EU-parliamentary and media interventions echoing and promoting Kremlin talking points. (March–September 2014).

Police drop inquiry after man assaulted removing flags Tensions over divisive flag displays have erupted into violence in Norfolk, as police face criticism for inaction

Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action.

I asked this of a door knocker campaigning for First Aid to be taught in schools. When I asked what they should drop doing they were flummoxed. The Times studied this once and found 87 "schools should" articles in just one year.

Tough but essential history in @fxmc1957.bsky.social’s new history of the Holocaust.
It began with speech. It ended with bullets, bayonets and gas.

I called out a Reform MP’s racist comments in Parliament today.

I withdrew calling her a racist for her racist comments. But let’s be clear - racism has no place in Parliament or our politics.

The Real Energy Scandal The Media Won't Tell You About Fossil fuel interests are colluding with billionaire-owned media companies to block the UK's transition towards a cheaper and greener future, argues Donnachadh McCarthy

'The UK electricity price is the most expensive in the world, due to prices being set 99% of the time by the marginal cost of the most expensive electricity other than nuclear, which is fossil gas electricity.'

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.
