Police to get new powers to crack down on repeated protests, says Home Office Move follows arrest of almost 500 people at latest pro-Palestinian demonstration in London on Saturday

Just stop arming a genocide and stop being cunts and then people wouldn’t have to protest would they.

Tommy Robinson held a rally with a video call from the world’s leading Nazi.

This @uklabourparty.bsky.social is terrorism. You know the people our grandparents fought you dicks

Пътуването в градския транспорт във Варна си е пак топ holiday преживяване: вечно неработещи машини за билети и контрольори изключително ентусиазирани да глобяват такива объркани като нас получужденци (добре че съм само аз така и съм с пенсионер и дете с карти). И така...адреналин и живот на ръба..🤣

Let it die, along with reform. Labour might recover in the future but it’ll have to purge the tories from its ranks.

Vote Green bring about hope and change. Let the Lib Dem’s be the opposition. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over. Time for something new

From Christian Concern and Sex Matters to the LGB Alliance, UK anti-Trans+ groups share ideological and strategic links with US organisations like ADF and the Heritage Foundation

What’s unfolding is a coordinated global effort to erode individual freedom, crush liberation, and control our bodies

The LGB Alliance don't even want there to be more LGB people lol

Nelson branded ‘queer’ by museum Liverpool exhibition gives paintings of British naval hero a place in its same-sex relationships collection The Daily Telegraph front page 7 Oct 2025 By Craig Simpson Arts editor The Death of Nelson, 1859-64 (oil on canvas) by Daniel Maclise. The museum’s collection examines bonds that ‘go beyond platonic friendship in some way’ Lord Nelson has been branded queer by a leading museum. The naval hero was killed during his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Curators at the Walker Art Gallery have described him as queer despite his marriage and numerous affairs with women. The Liverpool gallery holds two paintings depicting Lord Nelson’s final moments aboard HMS Victory, during which the wounded admiral uttered the words to his friend and fellow officer Captain Thomas Hardy, “kiss me Hardy”.

LORD NELSON has been branded queer by a leading museum, The Telegraph can reveal. The naval commander became a national hero and ensured the dominance of British sea power before he was killed during his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Now, curators at the taxpayer-funded Walker Art Gallery have described him as queer despite his marriage and numerous affairs with women. The Liverpool gallery holds two paintings depicting Lord Nelson’s final moments aboard HMS Victory, during which the mortally wounded admiral uttered the famous words to his friend and fellow officer Captain Thomas Hardy, “kiss me Hardy”. The request – with which Hardy duly complied – has proved enough for Nelson to be placed in a “Queer relationships” collection at the gallery, which examines bonds that “go beyond platonic friendship in some way”. Paintings of Nelson’s death at Trafalgar have also been added to an online article about the “history of LGBTQ+ love”, and in a broader collection of “Love and Relationships” paintings, which itself sits within the “LGBTQ+ collections”. Information provided by the gallery, part of the publicly funded National Museums Liverpool group, states: “Historians have speculated about the exact nature of the relationship between Hardy and Nelson. “Regardless of the truth, for many, Nelson’s famous request is symbolic of the sometimes hidden queer history of life at sea.” Further information adds: “Whether or not their relationship was sexual remains unknown, but their friendship is reflective of the close relationships formed between men at sea.” Online information on the death scene explains that “intimate relationships, both sexual and platonic, could develop between those on board”. The inclusion of two canvases depicting Nelson’s death, by Daniel Maclise and Benjamin West, comes after an effort by National Museums Liverpool to highlight “often hidden or overlooked LGBTQ+ histories”.

Times double page spread - Tories say Farage is marching left on economy, in step with Corbyn Chris Smyth - Whitehall Editor Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, at the Tory conference yesterday Next image › The Conservatives have likened Nigel Farage to Jeremy Corbyn as part of an attempt to brand Reform UK as “the party of more spending and more debt”. Sir Mel Stride, the shadow chancellor, accused Farage of “marching to the left” on economics in an effort by the Tories to distinguish themselves from a party that has outflanked them on immigration. Stride promised tax cuts funded by reducing public spending and insisted that the Conservatives were “the only party that will stand up for fiscal responsibility”. He said he would scrap business rates for shops and pubs and promised young people a £5,000 national insurance rebate towards buying a first home.

The absolute state of politics and the media in this country on full display in the Times today

"University leaders have cautioned students planning to take part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations to coincide with the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attacks, warning them that “expressing support for a terrorist organisation is a criminal offence”." [Guardian]

um. most protests are ‘unbritish’ in the sense that most protests are opposed to actions of the british state.

this man is a dictator.

He's strikingly incapable of setting out *why* something is bad. Everything he writes is a search for labels that avoid having to make an argument - Reform's policies are 'racist', these protests are 'un-British'. You are the prime minister! Explain why they are wrong!

"a minority have used these protests as a pretext for stoking antisemitic tropes"

Could that minority be people like him who constantly imply that Israel is committing crimes against humanity to fight antisemitism on behalf of the Jewish diaspora?

I don't know how to describe this

By Sir Keir Starmer Opinion Starmer: Palestine protesters should 'respect the grief of British 'Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy - and there is justified concern about the suffering in Gaza - but a minority have used these protests as a pretext for stoking antisemitic tropes' Jews this week' October 3, 2025 16:48

this is the photo that Keir Starmer's people thought made him look smart when to me he looks like he just realised he pooped his pants

"Sir" Keir Starmer more interested in defending the £5.8 billion annual trade in goods and services between the UK and Israel* than defending British citizens arrested whilst attempting to take humanitarian aid to beseiged people in Gaza.

Shameful.

"a minority have used these protests as a pretext for stoking antisemitic tropes" is correct, just not the way Starmer thinks.

You can't have a discourse where politics and media elites constantly conflate Jewish communities with Israel to run interference for the latter and then say this stuff.

I feel like the UK is an even more dramatic own-goal than we are, because Lanour right now is like an alternate universe where Harris won & decided to implement like 80% of Project 2025 anyway because she liked Republicans more than her own voters.

Everyone deserves healthcare.

Everyone deserves housing.

Everyone deserves education.

Everyone deserves food & clean water.

This should not be controversial. They’re basic human rights.

We could provide them to everyone if we abolished the billionaire class and taxed corporations properly.

Two years of genocide...

Every night is the same, relentless bombing that never slows... a stream of martyrs... the moans of the wounded never cease... starvation, deprivation, and blockade.
We still need your help

I arrived in southern Gaza with my children, walking six hours without anything. Now I'm sitting in a tent shared with my brother. We have no tent, no mattress, and no food. Visit us, donate, or repost. We want to buy a tent, food, clothes, and mattresses 😞

birthdays are cancelled pretty much forever for me, but help make this one special for these kids yall

White people get to debate openly when to call something racist. I do not. I have to decide, at a risk to myself, when to challenge, when to make a noise and when to stand up because I'm the very target they're agitating against. The stakes are different for me and I wish more people understood

i mean, it's fine to like boobs and all, but don't reduce a human being and your own discomfort to a boob, wtf🤣

wtfff😭😵‍💫 I don't even have breast cancer family history& I fucking hate men's obsession with boobs (if one day I got divorced, that may be one of the top reasons🤣), if I had actual fears based in empirical reality around 'tatas' & the man's reaction to my anxiety was this, he'd fly out of the window🤢

October is upon us, which can be a challenging time for BRCA patients and survivors. You're surrounded by pink everything and inane slogans such as "Save the tatas", as if the organ is more important than the person

Non-binary folks, trans folks, cis men with the disease can feel extra excluded

I know we’re all racing to help people evacuate but many are choosing to stay in their beloved city. It’s our duty to honor their dignity.

йееей, много се радвам, Мишо 🫂🫂

anything I know about BRCA is from people (who know people) who've actually had it. wasn't even aware of the campaign's content.

but anyone who uses the word "tatas" deserves contempt + just learned men wore t-shirts "save second base" & "great boobs are worth fighting for"🤢 wtf. utterly revolting.
