More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A reminder that this is the same Rishi Sunak who when he was Prime Minister raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years

Post by @implausibleblog.bsky.social Screenshot of Farage being interviewed by Mishal Husain Nigel Farage, "I'm the only living human being in this country who has built political movements on a table like this with a telephone, a piece of paper and a pencil" "I can build things" "I can do things" "My track record says that"

This man is a deeply mediocre grifting spiv but sees himself as a mighty political figure. Only in a country where the media has given in to sensationalism rather than scrutiny and politicians have become shameful cowards could naff little Nigel’s ego be this absurdly, delusionally huge.

Yorkshire Water requires a lot more than a bit of improvement. It needs to be fiercely regulated so that consumers aren't expected to pay for being ripped off for 30 years as profits were extracted as casually as water was taken from our rivers and sewage pumped into them

why did this take two fucking days though? did the Prime Minister have his notifications switched off? was he stuck in the bath? why, exactly, is this obviously true thing something that apparently needs running past the boss anyway? what is *wrong* with their comms operation?

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Given Lam's appalling comments, the UK government needs to make it free for those with permanent leave to remain to obtain British citizenship, to promote people making the change, and to make it quicker.

They need to do that to remove understandable anxiety.

something quite brain-melting about the hard right's position apparently now being "we hate all Muslims and distrust Muslim states, aside from that one Muslim place that still has slavery because that sounds fun"

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

Water bills to rise further for millions after appeal Five water companies win permission for higher bills as they seek more investment to fix outdated infrastructure.

The cheek of it. Companies like Yorkshire Water took billions out of Britain without investing. Now they expect customers to pay up for the debts they acquired by paying themselves excessive profits.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

😂😂😂

I think his conscience surrendered some time ago.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

The next general election is going to be unbearably awful isn’t it

Just parties lining up to outdo each other in awfulness

Yet it's a potentially fruitful line of argument. Many of the UK's current problems stem from something most of us would prefer not to dwell on - Brexit. Depressed investment, low productivity, stagnant economic growth and living standards, the strain on the public finances and thus public services, food prices, the "Boriswave" of more than 2 million (legal) immigrants, increased red tape and border hassles for businesses, farmers and travellers... all can be traced back, to a greater or lesser extent, to 2016 and the EU Referendum. And who, as he reminds us again now, spent 30 years of his life campaigning for Britain to leave the EU? Farage. It is he, Farage, who 'broke Britain' with Brexit and is now capitalising on the vast damage he caused

“Farage “broke Britain" with Brexit and is now, outrageously, capitalising on the vast damage he caused”

Article argues there’s no need to mention Reform’s racism as the Brexit shitshow is failure enough.
But that had its roots in racism too. So let’s do both.

Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act Tory leader says she would replace it with ‘cheap energy’ strategy, ending decades-long consensus on climate

Tory party’s long journey away from science, reason, responsibility, common sense and truth is complete

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Shabana Mahmood vows law reforms to prove migrants 'contribute' to UK society The home secretary signalled in her first major interview since taking over the reins that she believed migration "has been too high".

Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.

The BBC spinning for Farage. Laundering extreme policies. I’m done with making excuses for them.

Save NHS dentistry now! I just signed the 38 Degrees petition calling on the Government to properly fund NHS dentistry. Millions of us are still struggling to access affordable dental care, so now the Government needs to stu...

Millions of us are still struggling to access affordable NHS dental care. I’ve signed 38 Degrees’ petition demanding Keir Starmer properly funds NHS dentistry now, will you join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

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'.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

I’ve seen other people express this far better than me. But if, like me, you’re finding the ‘free speech’ hypocrisy of the right unbearable, you have to remember they know what they are doing. It’s not that they haven’t realised how illogical and hypocritical they are. They know,they just don’t care

Javid's a muslim, though I believe he has said he's not practising.

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march

It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear

The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

A post this morning from Keir Starmer on Elon Musk's X in which he welcomes American financial investment into the UK and makes no comment on other matters

good that Keir has broken his silence this morning to ... continue posting on a website run by a man who yesterday addressed a far right rally to call for his overthrow, while not in any way addressing said far right rally

Esp given assassination of Kirk in US i find Musk's intervention here, calling for dissolution of parliament and a new govt, really scary .

Also UK govt bodies should get the fuck off X.
