GB News broadcasted a package last week on analysis of people with "foreign sounding" names.

Peddling unverified and racist statistics on national TV is dangerous and we must call it out.

The Liberal Democrats are calling on Ofcom to investigate and take swift action.

Former Tory PM Brands Brexit 'An Act Of Collective Folly' In Outspoken Attack John Major said "our enemies celebrated and our friends despaired" at the vote to leave the European Union.

🚨 BREAKING: John Major says Brexit was an act of collective folly.
It made 🇬🇧 poorer, weaker and cut off from 🌍 biggest market.

He’s right and it’s exactly what the data, job losses, exodus of 🇬🇧 citizens, collapsing industries and EU’s new demands all show.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

“We must be looking at a customs union with the EU to grow our economy.”

Can methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown? With temperatures breaching the Paris limit, experts say tackling the powerful gas could buy crucial time as the clean-energy shift stalls

“Methane emissions across the supply chain are a key indicator of poor environmental and operational practices in the fossil fuel industry. Reducing [them] in the energy sector is the most effective and rapid way to cut greenhouse gases in the short term.”

From Germany: "The UK wants to abolish the obligation to support asylum seekers that became EU law in 2005. UK had 84,200 asylum applications in 2024. From 2011 – 2020 (before Brexit) the average was 27,500 applications per year. By comparison, in Germany, 250,945 people applied for asylum in 2024."

Our asylum system has been broken by the Conservatives and by Brexit.

We need solutions that are going to work, and that’s what the Liberal Democrats are proposing.

Labour MPs slam government for 'chasing Reform' with 'brutal' asylum crackdown The government is facing criticism from Labour MPs after home secretary Shabana Mahmood announced plans to overhaul the UK's asylum system.

This illegal mountain of rubbish needs to be seen to be believed. 🤢

The Liberal Democrats are calling for the National Crime Agency to crack down on the criminal gangs ruining our countryside.

She is correct

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

What the Home Sec announced today is not the politics of compromise but of being compromised.

Labour has just increased the salience of an issue they will always be outbid on by the right.

Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt...."

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

The main question I have for Labour is, what will you do when the polls don’t improve for you after this?

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

"The policy and rhetoric is as cruel as anything announced by Nigel Farage. Yet the Home Secretary is planning to sell it to Labour MPs by suggesting that it is the only way to prevent a Reform Government.There is only one way to describe this. It is the politics of the protection racket."

Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp chose to side with Trump over the BBC today.

True patriots should be united in standing up for Britain against Trump's bullying.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

Graph showing decline since 2005

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

This headline from 2022 is getting more and more true by the day.
