Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

Brexit impact on UK economy 'negative for foreseeable future,' says Bank of England chief.

The bank's governor, Andrew Bailey, said for nearly a decade he had been careful to "take no position on Brexit" but when asked directly about its impact on economic growth he "had to answer that question".

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

British.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Can we pause and imagine the well of sympathy in the Telegraph for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of overstaying foreigners in the UK who don't speak English. Polluting the culture.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Would be great if millions watched this party political broadcast. Could you share this post?

When it comes to intimidating racist protests including outside our homes or place of worship, Black and Asian people are supposed to just accept it and the government saying “we hear you” and “it is right to protest this” and “I love flags me”. No thought of “cumulative impact” for us!

Funny how mainstream media are ignoring the Nathan Gill story, but were bouncing up and down with apoplexy over an innocent mistake by Angela Rayner.

The Nathan Gill Russian bribery case: "Nothing to do with Reform"? The bribery started the day Nathan Gill quit UKIP and continued under Farage’s leadership. The press have barely said a word… Nathan Gill, once Farage’s ally and Reform UK’s Welsh leader, has admitted...

An extraordinary Telegraph article from 2014 that reminds us where Nigel Farage stood on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Mr Putin 16 years ago.

British Politics' Midlife Crisis Why British Parties Can't Make Peace with Their Actual Voters

On the morning of Keir Starmer's conference speech here's a new post on an odd psychopathology in British politics - our main parties don't like the people who vote for them - the dreaded Professional Managerial Class. And so they are acting out like a divorced dad seeking cooler voters. 1/n

We should all ask the question: Where is Keir Starmer?

Whenever you legislate for more powers, you shouldn’t think about what your government would do with them, but what a future bad (evil or incompetent - or both!) government might do with them.

New study: British attitudes to immigrants shifts with relatable messaging A Cambridge study shows personal, value-based stories about EU migrants can sharply boost British support for immigration

Cambridge psychologists tried something radical: making a positive case for EU immigration.

It worked – spectacularly.

Tim Berners-Lee: The internet needs compassion – and I have a solution We need to regulate the most addictive algorithms, writes Tim Berners-Lee

"...the web is lacking in compassion, but this is not a human failing. This is a design issue."

Skewering History: The Odious Politics of Counting Gaza’s Dead – Arena Critical * Radical * Australia * Earth

680,000 estimated dead in Gaza. arena.org.au/politics-of-...

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

Eurovision embodies a culture of unity, defiance & joy.

To platform Israel, a state carrying out genocide in Gaza, killing 64,000+ people & silencing journalists on that stage, is obscene.

The BBC must join Irish state broadcaster others in saying: no genocide in Eurovision.

Charlie Kirk was not a “free speech activist” and any outlet that tells you he was is lying to you. He wanted unlimited freedom for himself and as little as possible for the people he hated, ie anyone who wasn’t a white male conservative. His values were trash

Now it looks like Jesus murdering someone with a tiny mallet.

If you listen to one thing today 👏👏👏

Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream"
