🚨The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 55,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done!

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

They should be in court for having ruined the country so they could trumpet their achievements at the next election.

Great work. I've been banging on about PFI deals since the Blair years, and how much it would ultimately cost us. If anyone remembers it was because Blair/Brown wanted to stay within the 3%/40% national debt limits to join the euro

πŸ” Digging into NHS PFI debt wasn’t easy β€” but we uncovered Β£21bn still owed. πŸ’Έ

This debt is a real problem for patients, staff, and the future of the NHS.

Appeals against deportation on human rights grounds are vanishingly rare - less than one per cent of foreign national offenders remain in the UK on human rights grounds.Β So changing how the Convention is interpreted won’t make a material difference to migration figures

The sad thing is, on reading this line, it will be fist bumps all around in Shabana Mahmood's office. Because becoming Reform is their plan to beat it.

Another chilling aspect... The Tories simply passed a law declaring Rwanda "safe".

Do we really trust that this govt or the next won't resort to similar tactics if this finds them politically convenient?

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.

Questions will likely be raised over whether TfL has the money to take on the tunnels, but Escalate Now has a potential solution. β€œGroup member Karin Tearle said it could raise the funds needed from its new revenue stream from the Silvertown Tunnel tolls”.

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

We can't allow the dark days of the 1970s and 1980s to return. There has to be a strong response to the government's weakness. Even Ted Heath and Harold Wilson stood up against Powell's vitriol. Today's politicians must be made to do the same

I saw many of the flags on Saturday in central London. I couldn't help but think many of those people and I support the same football team, celebrate England's (women and men) successes, drink in the same pubs. Yet I find myself having to be careful

I feel much the same. Six years as a student, and thirty eight years working here. I survived the skinheads, the BNP, the NF. London is my home. I cannot imagine a life elsewhere. I wish the current government had the strength to stand up for "Labour" values
