Had they invited tree fellers?

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

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.

They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Yes

Apparently Kirk was a big deal on TikTok in the UK (see Sam Freedman on here)

Mad to think that three of my grandparents, who I remember well, were born during the reign of Queen Victoria

Let me give you a list of Reform UK promises and the diametrically opposite reality they will lead to if implemented. (1/?)

Febreeze!

Palestine Action protest arrests rise to more than 500 Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Government has got this spectacularly wrong.

If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it.

But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech.

Remember that viral story last week about Angela Rayner bulldozing allotments? Which even the allotment society somewhat debunked?

I looked into one of the sites and it’s wilder still: they are *increasing* the number of allotments, not cutting them. capx.co/angela-rayne...

University leaders urged to engage with Reform ahead of elections Vice-chancellors warned against ignoring rise of populist party as political upheaval expected in coming years

Reform UK are a huge risk to the risk-sharing systems underpinning our economy and society, since they don't understand anything about them. One threat would be to the uni pension system USS, the biggest private scheme in the UK at £70bn. (1/2) www.timeshighereducation.com/news/univers...

Post-Brexit border control post in Wales to sit empty The post at Parc Cybi near Holyhead port in Anglesey is now nearing completion and set to be handed over to the Welsh government in the autumn.

Tens of millions of pounds wasted on a now-pointless Brexit control post that will sit empty before it was due to open. Taxpayer money wasted on Brexit red tape that could have been avoided entirely!

Did Donald Trump steal the 2024 election? A legal challenge in New York could reveal the truth behind allegations that last year’s election result was “consistent with vote manipulation”

A legal challenge in New York could reveal the truth behind allegations that last year’s election result was “consistent with vote manipulation”

Our stoat overlords may have something to say about that.

Being hit on the thumb by a cricket ball still hurts after a week, if that helps.

It is astonishing that Trump didn't know when the US civil war ended -- primarily because he wrote such a brilliant, moving poem about Gettysburg, one that conveyed an overwhelming sense of a scholar's mind, laced with unparalleled knowledge of the conflict.

When they were FABB?

I hope you said 'where the fuck have you been' when he turned up!

This lull in the first digital nuclear war—a pocket civil war in the United States—is likely caused by Musk huddling with his lawyers to determine whether Trump really can deport him as Trump’s generals (e.g., Bannon) are urging him to do.

Things are getting quite serious, now.

🚨 Reform UK is in crisis. Again.

Just hours after a row over a proposed burqa ban, party chairman Zia Yusuf has quit. He says it’s no longer worth trying to get Reform elected.

If Farage’s own chairman has lost faith, why should voters back them?

Nigel farage with andrew tate

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm.
Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.
