Let’s just see how the BBC is framing this war of aggression, shall we?

The tragic awfulness of this government is that it has extended a factional war against the left of the Labour Party into a war against almost all the good things we might have expected of it. It cannot respond to the crisis it faces, because its hatred of the Labour left is definitional.

This walloper wrote an article last week stating only Labour could beat Reform, and now with absolutely no shame she publishes this. It's people like Toynbee that have ensured the Guardian's status as laughing stock of the print media for over a decade.

Labour Accused Of By-Election Dirty Tricks Over 'Fictitious' Tactical Voting Group A leaflet sent out on the eve of the crunch poll has sparked a furious backlash.

Remember the bullshit Tory HQ 'fact-checker' website run during the last General Election campaign? Well, Labour HQ has taken a leaf out of its playbook with a bullshit 'tactical voting' website.

Different rosette, same party.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

This is massive, and disgraceful. No organisation called β€œTactical Choice” appears to exist.

β€˜Trauma spills outward’: Time to stop the courts failing women | Good Law Project The family court said my child must carry the name of the man who raped me – but my fight goes on

"There is a moment that happens almost every day. An email arrives from my daughter’s school. I open a letter from her GP or log in to her school resources. I pull out her passport to plan a trip. My child’s name appears – and with it, her father’s surname. The man who raped me."

This is a basic fact that's been so successfully airbrushed out of acceptable political commentary that it's kind of shocking to hear it said out loud. Another such fact is that those under illegal occupation are entitled violently to resist the occupier (within obvs limits). That's not terrorism.

Paul Holden explains how the group 'Labour Together' began its campaign against critical media outlets by targeting & smearing journalists & organisations on the left, & this was celebrated by many centrist journalists at the time.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

Outside Westminster Magistrates Court this morning in solidarity with Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham.

They are facing charges for organising an entirely peaceful demonstration in support of the Palestinian people.

Protesting for Palestine is not a crime. Drop the charges now!

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK wants to ban churches from becoming mosques Zia Yusuf said his party wants to β€œprotect the Christian heritage of Britain.”

'Most of us in Britain aren’t Christian in our beliefs, practices, or identity. Although Christianity has contributed to our heritage, pre-Christian, non-Christian, and post-Christian influences have been just as important.' @andrewcopson.bsky.social

One of the most malicious lies told about Palestinians is that Gaza could've flourished after Israel "left." Israel bombed their only airport, blocked construction of their harbor, and prevented either from being built at any point since they "left." Fishermen who go out "too far" are machine gunned

Headline says 'armed man' but lower it says 'appeared to be armed'. Presumably they quickly confirmed it either way, once they shot him dead?

Palantir sues magazine that revealed Switzerland rejected its approaches Peter Thiel-chaired data intelligence group alleges that Republik did not give it sufficient right to reply

"The report, reviewed by the FT, decided against using Palantir technology for Swiss military data since there was a risk that US authorities could gain access to the sensitive files."

Yet here Labour continues to shove public money down its throat.

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

Reform want to bring Trump’s thugs onto our own streets. They must be stopped.

Only a vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton on Thursday can stop them.

Hope will defeat hate.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.
