"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.

If the government can celebrate scaring a critic off TV, the punchline writes itself β€” and it’s from 1933.

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor.

What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

Anyone watching the press conference. God - Trump is waffling . He's already dissed Biden, lied about the seven wars and is wittering on about trillions. How anyone could think this is a man is capable to run a bath - let alone a country is beyond me.

Thanks for welcoming me into your part of the protest yesterday. As a Republic member, I hadn’t realised this section was happening, so it was a lovely surprise to find some friendly faces.

Stop the Tories and Reform Your vote is your power. Use it tactically to get the Tories and Reform out, then influence your new MP and the next government.

At the next General Election,

We have to come together,

Voting to keep out the far right.

We’ve been doing this every week at by-elections.

At #GE2024 1.5m of us helped an extra 91 Tories lose their seats.

This is an invitation to other campaigns to join forces.

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

β€˜The conference was disastrous for Reform. It's easily their biggest misstep’ | The News Agents Reform UK’s 2025 conference was a horror show of misinformation, with a celebration of admitted racist Lucy Connolly and lies about vaccines spread by a conspiracy theorist – both greeted with rounds…

"Reform is more popular now than Labour or The Tories, but when you dig into their policies the public will be absolutely horrified by what comes out of their mouths."

Why platforming anti-vaxxers and Lucy Connolly was a 'disaster' for Farage and co

Off to do a school governor walk around and, as I prep, I am reminded that school senior leadership teams deal with absolutely every aspect of education, running a large business and social work. They work incredibly hard.

Two things can be true at once. Rayner was foolish in her conduct and right to resign. It’s also true she was always despised by much of the right wing press because she was a working class powerful woman.

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns.

They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings.

That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

Petition: Inclusive assemblies NOT compulsory worship We're the only country in the world to impose Christian worship as standard in schools. Tell the Government to back inclusive assemblies for all.

Live in England or Wales?

Want to help us end the legal requirement for all state schools to conduct daily acts of worship, and introduce inclusive assemblies for all?

Sign our petition.

Adil Ray, "Robert Jenrick has decided to join a protest where some there are far right"

Jonathan Ashworth, "When Jenrick was immigration minister, his policy was to refuse to process asylum seekers, so they ended up lumbered into hotels, eventually being sent to Rwanda"

Donald Trump threatens to clear encampments in D.C. With D.C.’s MPD now under federal control and the National Guard coming to D.C., the fate of people in encampments remains up in the air.

"β€œI ain’t ever bought no prostitutes. I ain’t never raped nobody. I ain’t never paid anybody off. None of that stuff,” said G, a resident from one of the photographed tents.

β€œHe’s much more of a criminal than I am”"

I am so sick and tired of seeing MPs and the media shit themselves over refugees arriving in small boats over the channel.

If your initial reaction to seeing these boats is anything other than β€œthose poor bastards, I hope they make it across” then you have failed as a human being.

Genuinely one of the smartest things the department can do. Inflation is reasonably predictable as are trends on recruitment and retention. If schools and trusts know their income (which they do) and also their major costs for the next 3 years, it helps planning and efficiencies immensely.

I've lived in London for 30 years.

It's safer, cleaner, more at ease with itself by far now than it was when I came here and the only people who believe otherwise have either never set foot in the place or have a massive chaos agenda.

Check out homicide figures in that time 1/2
