This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Still on what would have been deemed unlikely if not unthinkable not so long ago... 👇🏼 #economy #markets #energy

Question - why doesn't #Farage get on a plane and go and speak to his besty #Trump and ask him to do something about #petrol #gas prices??? #Reform does something for the people you say you represent - BTW I don't mean billionaires.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

Possibly the best example of American democracy and governance in the era of Trump.

This is from todays #Economist and why it was so wrong to leave the #EU and why the big money from USA and Russia financed our leaving "America’s Justice Department intervened to try to save X from paying a €120m ($137m) fine imposed by the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm... 👇

Just at Kings Cross station. There is a #Gails. The attendant came up to me and I explained that I don't eat egg. The response - she just walked off! BTW woeful labelling. Can we have #Leon back please!

How Ed Miliband's late mum was at the forefront of his mind during his statement on Israel-Palestine.

That headline is heartless.

Any political party which tells you money doesn’t buy influence is either lying to you or has never attended a political fundraiser. Currency is access- and that’s for everyone. My opener to Sunday with Lewis Goodall @lbc.co.uk this morning. youtu.be/uLMuirAe--I?...

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Interesting remarks made about the right wing parties - worth a listen. [Full Disclosure with James O'Brien] Ravi Singh: The man who runs towards disaster podcastaddict.com/full-disclos...

Full Disclosure with James O'Brien - Ravi Singh: The man who runs towards disaster

Listen to Full Disclosure with James O'Brien - Ravi Singh: The man who runs towards disaster by Global on Podcast Addict. What makes someone run towards places most people are desperate to escape?Long before Ravi Singh became one of Britain’s most remarkable humanitarian figures, he was a child caught between worlds: born in Singapore, raised in a Punjabi village, and brought to Britain at 11, where he encountered racism, loss and dislocation almost as soon as he arrived. Years later, he would go on to found Khalsa Aid, the international relief organisation known for delivering aid in some of the most dangerous and devastated places on earth.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O’Brien sits down with Ravi to trace the experiences that shaped his lifelong commitment to service - from a childhood marked by community, faith and hardship, to the moment he realised that compassion could become a form of action in the face of injustice.Ravi reflects on growing up in a village shared by Sikh, Muslim and Hindu families, losing his father at a young age, and arriving in Britain unable to speak English, where he was confronted almost immediately by racism and exclusion. He describes the values instilled by his mother, the discipline and belonging he found in the Air Cadets, and the personal and politic

@lewisgoodall.com thanks for attending the #Reform conference #Newsagents - the conversations with the attendees are so instructive of the base ... listen and make your own conclusions.

"JL Partners... is a member of the British Polling Council and the Market Research Society, who say the identity of a client commissioning a poll should be disclosed when the results enter the public domain." Farage claims that Reform didn't commission the polls. JLP must say who did. #R4Today

The SRA was going to prosecute the Post Office’s lawyers. Then it stopped. taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/09/05/s...

The Post Office silenced its own victims. The SRA did nothing.

Postmasters were told their compensation offers couldn’t be shown to anyone. That wasn’t true. The regulator has closed the case, and won’t say why.

Oh, nice, we’ll just be handing tech firms a bit more freedom to do exactly what they want with our data. What could possibly go wrong? Also, one small point: if we substantially diverge from EU data-protection standards, the big win for small businesses wouldn’t be “freedom from red tape”.

The +5% #bond yields have not raised hackles in the right wing press. The reason #TrumpWar #TechBros #Datacentres #GOPGraft. Why would they write about these things.

And now time for that uniquely British summer tradition: where we castigate ourselves, our education system and most of all our young people for going on to be better educated than ever before.

Foreigners living in social housing? Tories want them evicted. That's bad news for the 1 in 7 NHS England staff who are neither British or EU citizens. Even worse news for their patients - that's me and you www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Conservatives pledge to ban foreign nationals from social housing

They claim around 230,000 homes would become available under their plan to limit social housing entitlements.

More police injuries as brain-dead racists inflamed by far-right rhetoric attack a house during anti-migrant protests in Thetford. Has Nigel Farage called them out for what they are or is he too busy causing the division that leads to this kind of violence? HERE: news.sky.com/story/female...

#Farage has spent decades trying to turn our country into a racist hatefest. If you support that monster and contemptible #ReformUK then you are part of the problem. Female police officer 'seriously bitten' during anti-migrant violence in Thetford | UK News | Sky News share.google/VnISoo25fywD...

Divisive is the polite term. Achieve popularity by being the ‘let’s be nasty to a group of people’ party. This is where Badenoch wants to lead the Tory party. They might as well just join Reform if that’s their attitude. KB is finishing what Johnson started. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/468...
