Imagine the outcry if Spain took away health care and benefits from Brits living in Spain!

Appalling - EU citizens living in UK shouldn’t be allowed welfare benefits, says Tory rising star

Imagine the UK media outrage if these rights under the Withdrawal Agreement were being threatened for Brits in Europe

Katie Lam calls for Brexit withdrawal agreement to be reopened

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Hey @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👋🏼

When Trump says he wants to use US cities as training grounds for the military, what he's really saying is that he wants to rerun the Iraq occupation but without the kind of COIN operations that he and Hegseth loathe.

By embracing Brexit for party advantage, the Conservative and Unionist party both destroyed itself and, in time, dismantled the union.

A political morality tale, a fable of hard folly.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in Birmingham neighbourhood Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on short visit

This is shocking racism from Jenrick and Badenoch should sack him immediately.

No further comment necessary.

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here.

Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.

Politico: Kent County Council controlled by Reform UK, 'is likely to raise council tax rates next year after its cost-cutting “DOLGE” program struggled to find savings, the FT reports. Council Cabinet member Diane Morton said local services were already “down to the bare bones”'

Exactly as warned.

A frog just defeated ICE. Somewhere Pepe is crying.

A mass shooting in Alabama, but no, send troops to Portland. A democratic judge and senator's house gets burned down, but no, it's the left that's violent. Sickening.

More austerity you say? This is the kind of bold outside-the-box thinking that will surely turn things around for the Tories 🙃

Unicorns. She's promising more unicorns. Because the Brexit unicorns arrived just as promised /s

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.

They would make hundreds of billions from this.

That is what they want.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Kemi Badenoch doesn't seem to understand that the ECHR was set up to protect everyone from people like her.

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

A Christianity that promotes the interests of empire* is a Christianity that rides the back of the beast as the whore of Babylon.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

Political reporters continue to cover the centre-left according to the old standards of honesty and legality while shrugging at the right: "Ah well, you know what these guys are like. What can you do?"

Warrior and legend.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans
