Liz Truss: ***smiles***

Bercow was a horrible bully though

Now perhaps he knows what it feels like to be on the receiving end of his relentless anti refugee race-baiting…

Russia has no intention of attacking EU or Nato states, foreign minister says Sergei Lavrov has been highly critical of Western countries and Israel in his speech at the UN General Assembly.

Never truly believe anything until the Kremlin denies it.

Haha. Yes 🙌

Ed Davey urges US cancer scientists to come to UK The Lib Dem leader will use his party conference speech to attack Donald Trump's "anti-science agenda".

Morning Bluesky.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey is calling on the UK to open the doors to US cancer scientists marginalised by the Trump administration.

No one is safe from Reform UK.

Ah yes. My partner is 🇫🇮 too but didn’t get passport because all the Brexidiot politicians categorically assured that it wasn’t needed.

Some countries (Netherlands) for example don’t allow it.

Well yes but some can’t without losing their original nationality and we’re talking £2000+ of costs. I’d prefer that we just destroy the Nazis at the ballot box.

Farage vows to scrap indefinite leave to remain, placing thousands at risk of deportation Reform UK plans to force non-citizens to apply for visas with high salary thresholds and no access to NHS services

First they came for the Lithuanians and Poles but I did not speak up because I’m not Lithuanian or Polish

Then they came for the Muslims but I did not speak up…

Then they came for my friends…

Then they came for my partner…

Farage vows to scrap settled status, placing thousands at risk of deportation Reform UK plans to force non-citizens to apply for visas with high salary thresholds and no access to NHS services

That’s my girlfriend deported then. And a friend of mine. And another friend’s mum. And another friend’s wife.

Surely this is the tipping point that makes people realise that Farage and his mob are nothing more than pound shop Nazis.

20 All Out: The Ukrainian Cricket Team’s Euro Cup Adventure Image: annarosafotografia.pl It’s Thursday lunchtime in Warsaw, and I’m standing in a field outside the city, in the rain. I’m trying, and failing, to hit a Polish off-spinner. Chasing 206, we’re 2…

20 All Out: The Ukrainian Cricket Team's Euro Cup Adventure 🇺🇦🏏

Some evening reading with cameos by @jonathan.tochnyi.info, @johnnield2.bsky.social, @smrwilkinson.bsky.social, @libdemtim.bsky.social, and our friends (still, just about) @icelandcricket.bsky.social!

I read it but it didn’t make sense.

It was and still is laughable. Whatever the convention we knew the target was a Russian dissident. You think Putin was going to admit to the poisoning? Remember the “gay Russian tourists” excuse who turned out to be military intelligence agents?

I’m not a Corbyn demonologist I just don’t think he was very effective in his delivery and that much appears to have been borne out. Just because a Tory said it too doesn’t make it anyless naive. Large wings of the Tories were naive.

100% agree. Free speech thrives when it coexists with accountability, ensuring that no voice causes harm to the broader social fabric.

It becomes intimidation when it escalates to incitement to violence, hate speech, harassment, or the creation of a hostile environment that causes distress.

I’m prepared to listen to the left of politics but Corbyn was ineffective and weak. His suggestion that we ask the Russians to check if the nerve agent found in Salisbury was theirs was almost laughable. If the left want to be taken seriously they need better leaders.

'Scale of unite the kingdom march shows free speech alive and well in UK, says minister

This is, I believe, the first official word from the Government on what happened yesterday in London. Not only inaction in the face of violence and hate, but a celebration of it. I passed through London twice yesterday with my two kids & what Labour seem to be missing is that people aren't just...

Elon Musk Slammed After Telling Far-Right Rally 'Violence Is Coming' To UK The tech billionaire also called for "a change of government in Britain".

Musk inciting violence. The government needs to take a harder line.

There’s a difference between strongly held and violently held. Most Labour people have very strongly held views even if I don’t agree with all of them.

UPDATE: 26 officers injured in disorder at central London protest It is deeply regrettable that a number of those who were part of the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest became involved in disorder in multiple locations.

I think it was 26

Were you actually there?

I don’t wish the far right well

Go away Mr 1 Follower

Bollocks. The politicians there were absolutely far right. No doubt at all.

Yup. Far right. Yaxley Lennon. A Dutch far right politician. A Danish far right politician. A German far right politician. A Romanian far right politician too. Antisemitic abuse

Yeah some attendees were just brainless morons but yeah many were far right.

Most of our day was as planned really we just kept on bumping into the flag waving racist morons. She was just embarrassed that some people her own age were involved.

Musk needs to be sanctioned in the U.K. Twitter too. Fake news which promotes the far right (yes this is *absolutely* far right) and Vladimir Putin is a danger to our democracy.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.
