Last week Green Party MP SiΓ’n Berry released a full log of her first year of official meetings with campaigners and lobbyists, and is challenging all other MPs to do the same. The three other Green MPs are set to follow suit shortly.

BBC apologises after Robert Jenrick accused of xenophobia A contributor to Radio 4's Thought for the Day slot made the remark about the shadow justice secretary.

'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour won’t defend migration.

Too scared of Reform, too terrified to lead.

While they play dog whistle politics, inequality is the real problem.

Not small boats. But private jets.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

The evidence for more 20mph zones ‡️

βœ”οΈ Cut deaths and serious injuries by 1/3
βœ”οΈ Protect children
βœ”οΈ Reduce crashes
βœ”οΈ Lower noise
βœ”οΈ Boost walking & cycling

The BBC’s own β€œverify” feature also hides the fact that it’s not even a record for an equivalent period.

β€œBut the 50,000 figure for a 403-day period is not a record. It was higher in September 2023, for example”

Well hidden, of course, as per the higher ups.

To restore Britain, we need a Trump style revolution.
That means building independent media and dismantling the deep state.

A three panel comic. In panel 1, two people are facing each other. The first person asks "Hey, do you want to drive really far and spend hours staring at distant, rapidly moving gray-brown objects while trying to find subtle differences between them?" and the second says "No." In panel 2, the first person says "What if they're bird-shaped?" and the second person says "Then absolutely, yes." In panel 3, the two people are standing and looking through binoculars at distant shorebirds on a beach. The first person says "Yay shorebirds season!" and the second says "Woo!"

Spot on again, Liam. Booing the national anthem and shouting down a minutes silence are in no way equivalent.

Here’s the truth about Britain’s immigration hysteria: Starmer and co have whipped it up to get cheap votes | Nesrine Malik He is part of a political establishment that is fuelling a crisis way beyond the point that they can ever be seen to solve it. It’s a cynical, idiotic doom loop, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Every word of this.

Rightwingers warn of another blaze of summer riots in Britain – but they’re the ones striking the match | John Harris Grim predictions of β€˜societal collapse’ and β€˜civil war’ will hit home so long as Labour fails to address the country’s problems, says Guardian columnist John Harris

β€œThe spectacle of politicians knowingly peddling inflammatory narratives is nauseating – and… they are starting to look like desperate people throwing matches on kindling that refuses to ignite. That is a remarkable way for self-styled patriots to behave”

Indeed.

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.
