Jenrick now proposing sacking judges he doesn't like. I can just about remember when Conservatives cared about things like the rule of law.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

😬 awkward

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Body slamming, teargas and pepper balls: viral videos show Ice using extreme force in Chicago A facility in Broadview, a mostly Black suburb, has become the site of escalation and ‘targeted attacks’ on protesters

Kemi Badenoch is taking a page out of Trump’s playbook - she wants a migrant removal force inspired by ICE.

Here’s what ICE does: it uses “violent military-style offensive weaponry against people.”

We don’t want this in Britain. Ever.

A Conservative councillor has quit the party "with profound regret" after Kemi Badenoch said a future Tory government would withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Countryfile - Northumberland Coast in Autumn Hamza Yassin finds out about the RSPB's work to safeguard the very rare roseate tern, and Charlotte Smith meets a biosecurity dog helping to protect precious seabird colonies from pests.

For those of you who haven't already watched Laura and Kuki on #BBCCountryfile or don't know what a #biosecurity conservation detection dog handling team do, you can still catch up on I-player. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Come work with me!!
It will be fun.

Our first @btobirds.bsky.social Winter Bird Survey at Ludshott Common, Hampshire, today. Don't know if you can hear but there's a Woodlark singing his head off like it's the first day of Spring. Also Siskin, Redpoll, Crossbill, Dartford, Linnet and Stonechat in this one spot.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here.

Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

Graphic displays a Cormorant photographed by John Harding/BTO (left) and a Shag photographed by Liz Cutting/BTO (right). The species are labelled with their English and Latin names, Phalacrocorax carbo and Phalacrocorax aristotelis, respectively. Each image is labelled with key identifying features. For the Cormorant, these are: 'Heavy bill and a gradually sloped forehead', 'White chin', 'Blue sheen', 'White patch on thigh', and 'Variable amounts of white in the neck'. For the Shag, these are: 'Breeding crest', 'Green sheen', 'Lacks white in chin and neck', and 'Light bill and a steeply sloped forehead'. The Seabird Monitoring Programme logo is found in the bottom right hand corner. The caption reads: '1/ 1/ Despite a reasonable difference in size, Cormorants and Shags can be quite difficult to differentiate unless side by side!

MPs and public underestimate urgency of climate action, new UEA study reveals Fewer than 15% of UK MPs knew emissions must peak by 2025, raising questions about climate communication

How can MPs act with urgency on climate if they don’t even know the deadline has already arrived?

New UEA study finds public and politicians dangerously misinformed.

No idea what this is supposed to mean. The 50% target doesn't exist and nothing in the Gove reforms said more people had to go to university. It's a demand led system.

Lib Dems on Kent's Reform council: "It turns out cribbing the notes of dodgy American tech billionaires is no way to run a council.

"Zia Yusuf should personally apologise to the people of Kent."

On reports that Reform’s DOGE unit in Kent has found no savings and is set to hike council tax, Lib Dem Daisy Cooper MP:

"Reform's pledge to slash millions...has turned out to be nothing but smoke & mirrors

"Like his idol Elon Musk, Zia Yusuf has spectacularly failed to deliver what DOGE promised"

Join us as we remember, reckon, and stand together in our struggle to resist the ongoing Nakba and fight for freedom, justice and equality for all between the river and the sea.

Quite amusing that the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 is listed in the Appendix to the Wolfson Report as a domestic statute covering human rights ground. It wouldn't exist at all but for a series of Strasbourg judgments and the ECHR.

Reform UK set to raise Kent council tax — despite promising savings Nigel Farage had pledged cost-cutting, but officials now admit services are already ‘down to bare bones’ and a rise by the maximum rate of 5% may be needed

Reform UK promised to slash “wasteful spending” - now they’re raising taxes.

Looks like Reform UK are learning council budgets aren't as wasteful as they thought...
