Pro-Palestine activist couple have UK bank account closed without explanation John Nicholson and Norma Turnerโ€™s joint retirement savings account was shut by Yorkshire Building Society

No doubt this de-banking will also be splashed across the front pages of every single newspaper in the country and lead BBC bulletins for weeks on end too? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

PMQs should give more space to Nigel Farage In a recent survey of young people by Onward, six out of 10 felt that โ€œtoo many people are ignoredโ€ by democracy or, worse still, that โ€œdemocracy i...

This is a fair point. No, I haven't gone mad. Bear with me.

If Farage and his goons were scrutinized by Parliament, rather than certain fawning journalists (yes, you, BBC) I think their idiocy and idle racism would very quickly become very apparent.

Wouldn't it?

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of ยฃ800 million) doesnโ€™t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Letโ€™s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Orla nails it ๐ŸŽฏ

Exactly why the Green Party was happy to prop up Fine Gael and Fianna Fรกil in the last government, and to hell with the notion of allying environmental and social justice, is becoming ever more clear.

There are a few people expressing surprise that members of the green party in Ireland might be against left wing politics enough to resign from the party over backing Catherine Connolly for president...

I am curious how this could possibly still be surprising?

Morgan is embarrassing here.
Heโ€™s not remotely interested in answersโ€ฆ only Gotchas!
@zackpolanski.bsky.social has his measure.
All Morgan can do, when the argument is escaping him, is talk over Zack & move the conversation on to culture wars in a desperate attempt to score points.
We see you, Piers!

Say what you like about Michael Gove, he's a one-man Scottish Independence weapon!

The Faroe Islands locker room was quite rightly hyped after the territory of just 55,000 people stunned the Czech Republic 2-1 ๐Ÿฅณ

Itโ€™s their third straight World Cup win, arguably the biggest in their history, and leaves the Faroes one point off a World Cup play-off spot. Truly remarkable ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ด

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boyโ€™s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

โ€œMy world collapsed,โ€ Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICEโ€™s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
