I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

EU citizens living in UK shouldn’t be allowed welfare benefits, says Tory rising star Katie Lam — who is earning plaudits on the Conservative right — calls for Brexit withdrawal agreement to be reopened.

Not a serious person. Zero mention of what this would mean for the over a million British citizens whose own access to welfare in the EU is protected by the withdrawal agreement.

many benefits are household claims. imagine you're british and your spouse has ILR, and you're told that you're being denied benefits because your spouse is from "other parts of the world and they can leave". imagine if you lose your job and your spouse can't claim jobseekers, so you end up homeless

Our local idiot is sticking up the Côte d'Ivoire flag, which really shows his Irish patriotism. 🙄 (Now, if he turned it upside down, he would have the Irish tricolour, to be fair.)

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Set Ablaze Authorities are investigating a fire at the home of a South Carolina judge who had reportedly received death threats in what could be the latest incident of political violence across the country.

Over the weekend, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller repeatedly attacked judges, calling them part of an "organized terrorist attack" on the US government....

On Saturday, the home of a judge who ruled against Trump, went up in flames

TIL that the online portal for submitting certain Irish immigration applications does not allow you to upload documents where there is a fada in the document name

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

This is why ‘digital ID’ as ‘mandatory’ is a very dangerous tool for authoritarians.

No, you're not going crazy. You did read this and also read about the PSNI arresting people in London for being members of a proscribed organization.

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

"We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less."

Reminder that an IDF prison guard is on on camera raping a Palestinian man to death, and when arrested, masked armed soldiers raided the base where he was detained and forced his release. He then went on TV and became a celebrity.

Gabriel was the Express migrant terror correspondent in the mid-to-late 2000s. These are the actual, real world wages of his long labours, not the monetary wages that were paid into his bank account.
