No more discussions John. Let's get a real campaign going.

For the first time since 2014, a British Prime Minister has accepted that a referendum should take place when there is majority support for independence, as is the case in Northern Ireland. I have written to him to discuss how we turn that principle into a legal mechanism.

A federal judge denies bail for Andrew and Tristan Tate, the “manosphere” influencers who’ll now have to remain behind bars in Florida while fighting extradition to the United Kingdom on dozens of sex crime charges.

The “manosphere” influencers are wanted in the United Kingdom, where they’ve been charged with dozens of counts of rape, assault and sex trafficking.

He's tried various kinds of voter suppression, now Trump has resorted to naked bribery re the mid term elections. Voters should note no previous bribes have actually been paid!

Yet again, it’s the satirists I feel sorriest for…

Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas

A major new poll by British Future found that most of the public would support Burnham going beyond Labour’s red lines. It's time to rethink the red lines and put EU membership back on the table. #RejoinEU

You might have to turn up for the results of this one, Nige.

Some people are saying the Far Right aren't fascist because they are getting elected Hitler was elected, and when he was being elected he promised exactly the same things as the Far Right parties, and when they get into power they will fix the elections exactly as he did It's fascism

Can a cat be knighted?

Makes no odds if it's a cricket team or people who've made a dangerous journey seeking sanctuary, in any case, the truth is irrelevant to these people. Burnham needs to get a grip on this, quickly, and call out this fascist rhetoric for what it is.

This has gotten genuinely scary and the Government need to crack down on this boiling pogrom.

Trump Melts Down Over 9/11 Because “Nobody Saw Him There”

Dear Humans,

Victoria Derbyshire, "Canada, France, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK, they're all wrong (on banning settlement goods)?" Conservative's Bernard Jenkin, "I think they are"

Kemi Badenoch asks about increasing defence spending #PMQs Andy Burnham hits back pointing out that the Conservatives cut it repeatedly over 14 years

Andy Burnham, "Our National Security can't come at the expense of Social Security.. This side of the house will not be forced to chose between the two" #PMQs Kemi Badenoch, "Unbelievable he would say that.. We need to fund defence, not spend all our money on welfare"

This list is absolutely sending me, it's like the list that the absolutely dimmest person in public affairs might write up if asked to list the names of 'leftwing heavyweights' in a briefing.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

He told it 10 years ago, apparently it didn't kill, but he's trying it again this time around in case the vibe has changed bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Ah, he has told this story before. OK, that's all the rock-solid confirmation we need! www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Did Kent Police ignore Dover blockade 999 call? We can reveal the story that undermines the public statement of Kent Police. 🧵

Yesterday Trump said we’re at WAR but families of soldiers killed there are being told they can’t get proper compensation because technically “we’re not at war, it’s a military operation.” PAY THEM!!!

"Why is it right for them (asylum seekers on small boats) to come and live freely. And we have to work hard" #C4News

BBC 6pm news interviewed 3 people in favour of the Portsmouth protesters and nobody against them. In the interests of their balance.

Conservative Mims Davies humiliates herself repeatedly on Newsnight - it's so bad that even when Nick Watt politely explains Conservative policy to her, she doubles down on anti asylum seeker rhetoric demonstrating a complete lack of coherence and comprehension 🤦‍♂️

Demented geezer spends Labor Day posting AI slop in desperate cry for help

Thou shalt not trust A SINGLE WORD from corporate media talking heads who LOOK AWAY while the president is CERTIFIABLY INSANE.

Farage's grinning response says it all. Every day Reform and its supporters reveal themselves for who they are and yet the media continues to treat them as just another normal political party.
