This is an amazing UK political compass plot. Thick Farageists are Stalin, smarter Farageists are Hitler, all Tories are Hitler, everyone sane is Good except for a very few thick Greens and Labs who are Stalin, and the only people achieving Nonce are the "homeless voter" postgrads

There were rumors that a Filipino domestic helper was found dead in the fire while still holding the family's baby in her arms protecting him. News have reported that she actually survived, but currently in the ICU in critical condition
Her name is Rhodora Alcaraz. Hope she pulls thru 🙏

I wrote a little about one of my favourite neurodivergent brain hacks… a well timed ‘productive distraction’.
It’s a good way to transition from one big thing to another… with a carefully chosen little thing in the middle.

There is no evidence that stripping refugees' rights one by one will have any impact on people crossing the channel.
Taking jewellery from refugees is akin to painting over murals for refugee children.
These repugnant ‘deterrents’ did not work for the Tories, and they won't work for us.
A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.
It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.
This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

This is seriously fucked up. No wonder people resist and push back.
ICE needs to be disbanded. This is thuggery in action.
Local bus fares index (at current prices) by metropolitan area, England, quarterly from March 2005 to 2025 (Q1) Shows the overall trend of increasing bus prices over this period. Non-metropolitan areas saw the steepest drop in bus fares when the cap was introduced and the steepest increase when it was raised to £3.
Latest update to DfT's bus fares index includes data for January to March 2025 (Q1).
Hard to miss the impact of the bus fare cap going from £2 to £3 on non-metropolitan areas.

Amongst them is Pimsiri Petchnamrob who is whip smart, kind, funny & absolutely passionate about a fairer Thailand. She quoted a UN special rapporteur's words in a speech, that was enough for her to be charged with lèse-majesté.
Grateful to @fidh-official.bsky.social for highlighting her case.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Many Francophone Canadians don't sound like continental French speakers at all when they speak in French. Just see how chilled/stoned the alleged Franco-ontarien autoworker speaks, and even Pierre Poilievre sounds decidedly North American: youtu.be/rSKqqF7Iyh0?...

I am the first MP to be refused entry on arrival to Hong Kong since 1997.
Authorities gave me no explanation for this cruel and upsetting blow.
I hope the Foreign Secretary will recognise that this is an insult to all parliamentarians and seek answers from the Chinese Ambassador.
"In the Mood for Love’s status as one of the great Hong Kong movies remains undisputed, and the opportunity to see the film on the big screen in a glorious new 4K restoration is not to be missed. The new footage included in this particular release, however, proves disappointingly inconsequential."

Yesterday: President Trump announced in a speech that countries were kissing his ass and begging for tariff deals.
Today: President Trump lowers the tariffs before achieving any deals, and a Fox News journalist alleges that it was because Japan started dumping US bonds.
