Genuinely why is the BBC running push alerts every single time an asylum seeker does anything bad?

They do not do this every time a white man assaults someone or murders someone. It is an endless scaremongering tactic completely unbefitting a national broadcaster.

I’ve tabled a Parliamentary Motion calling out Thames Water’s failures.

Our water system isn’t designed to deliver decent service—it’s built to make water firms rich.

It's high time they were forced to cough up and put right the flooding and pollution across North East Hertfordshire.

The housing crisis started with Thatcher and it should end with this Labour government.

Launch a mass social housing programme, scrap Right to Buy, and introduce rent controls.

A secure home is a human right and the essential foundation for a decent life.

Thames Water wants to pollute illegally until 2040. Ofwat must say NO. Thames Water wants to make at deal with Ofwat, to pollute illegally for 15 years

I have signed @weownit.org.uk's petition to block Thames Water's plans to dump sewage in our rivers for the next 15 years. We have until 21st Oct to stop it. Add your name now.

Haven’t see this type of reverence for party leaders at other conferences. To me at least, this has the same feel as religious idolatry.

Their sense of self is wrapped up in fantasies of our country. Instead of coming to terms with how bad our country and living standards really are. It’s much easier to get drunk off these fantasies and affirm themselves with flags, since they feel powerless to actually improve their lives. It’s sad.

Richard Tice, "Probably, certainly"

Fiona Bruce, "Probably or certainly?"

Richard Tice, "I'm not a GP, Trump is wrong"

Audience member 2, "Liar"

I'm so sick of uber rich mad men, sadist authoritarians and morally vacant boot lickers.

The racists were marching and committing violence against people of colour when there were tiny numbers here. You simply cannot deport your way out of this so why not commit to anti-racism instead

Reading Dune Messiah, and damn Frank Herbert really popped off when writing visual descriptions compared to the first book imho. Really hope Villeneuve gets round to adapting this one as well because his visuals for this one are going to be 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Migrants to the UK tend to really LOVE this country. My aunt married my uncle in 1992 and she had to learn English, she’s been treated horribly coz she’s not white, she’s worked for decades in care for shite money and she STILL chooses to stay here and loves it.

Honestly they must lace it with crack or something

I’m not saying UK trains are expensive…

… but in Spain and I accidentally booked business class which comes with a full meal and several glasses of wine it was still cheaper than an Avanti off peak single standard fare.

Two men have raped a Sikh woman, telling her "You don't belong in this country, get out."

This is where the dehumanisation of migrants and people of colour leads: the most serious physical and sexual violence.

If reports of the EHRC guidance are correct, it is not compatible with trans people's human rights.

It would usher in a system of segregation, policed via threats of legal action by those with money to burn.

Trans people, as well as people who are not trans, face harassment.

The photo choice! The Times casually out here behaving like a hard right blogger. Imagine a broadsheet treating a Deputy Prime Minister this way who was a white man who went to Oxford.

Let’s be honest. Carswell is not alone. You don’t tweet unless you know it’s a popular belief. There are many in public roles, in pubs and at dinner tables who believe this. This is a persecution of Muslims in the UK and anyone with any sense of humanity, who cares about Britain must call this out .

I liked seeing New New York again.

Unfortunately I do think the episode has aged in a post-lockdown world. I think the writers overestimated how much humans could cope living in a single car for that long without seeing the sunlight. Everyone should’ve been driven mad in there!

Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.

Forthcoming statutory guidance could have a profound impact on trans people's lives.

I've written to the Women and Equalities Minister to urge her to reject anything that undermines trans people's rights, inclusion, privacy or safety, and for Parliament to have proper oversight.

Back in my day these guys were called flagshaggers

Superb, a must-watch, @lindsayellis.bsky.social is as good as it gets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa...

In fact, right-wing neoliberals claiming they want small government is, in fact, a lie.

They demand more bloated spending on the military, internal repression, corporate handouts, tax cuts for the rich.

The only parts of the state they wish to shrink are those which help working-class people.

Actively resent the fact we’re expected to listen to a press conference on “mass deportations” as if this is a perfectly normal, mainstream thing and not the unhinged rantings of a racist who is somehow on my television.

The lack of critical thinking among previously serious right-wing outlets currently is so striking.

The sort of wry cynicism that used to define conservative writing has totally disappeared - replaced by brainless dystopian platitudes and borderline racist incitement

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Why do all these fucking dickheads insist they are treating trans people "with dignity and respect" whilst also explicitly denying those things? Just call us slurs and own it you disgusting losers
