The original reporting of what happened in Portsmouth was a joke. This is just a hate mob that has been whipped up who are now targeting the RNLI. Throw the book at them.
RNLI closes Portsmouth lifeboat station after huge anti-migrant protests
RNLI volunteers were branded ‘traitors’ after bringing migrants ashore

It is past time for the police to clamp down on these people. Arrest them. Prosecute them.

I'd take the likes of Sarah Pochin seriously if they understood even the most basic things about WW2
Yvette Cooper has been appointed as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
I’m sorry, but what is ‘radical’ about the policies pursued by Miliband?

Yes, I pay myself rent in order to avoid tax, but it is coincidentally £1 less than the level at which I would have to declare it under Parliament's transparency rules.
🚨 Breaking news: 🚨 Trump and Infantino announced as joint winners of the inaugural annual FIFA Corruption Prize.
Exactly this. As for his £5mill “gift from his crypto mate, Farage would have to “work” (said wryly given his singular absence from HofC and his constituency) as an MP for nearly 55 years - long past the time he could reasonably be expected to live. So who REALLY is his master?
Buck Frexit@beany.bsky.social · 3mo agoIf someone offered you 3 times your salary to promote their product and you didn’t even need to give up your current job…..which work do you think you’d prioritise? Nigel Farage earns £93k as an MP and £270k promoting good bullion. (Oh and £18k a month from GB news vs £7.75 a month MP salary)
It is now almost 100% of the time that when I do vox pops in rural America I get asked about Britain supposedly being taken over by Muslims and crushed under the boot of Sharia law. I was just asked suspiciously if I am a Muslim myself when I pushed back

One detail in this fascinating BBC investigation into the Russia-instigated attack on Keir Starmer's home is the way it shows, in passing but very clearly, that Tommy Robinson is to all intents and purposes a Russian asset. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Russia was behind arson attacks targeting PM, BBC reveals
Evidence shows Russians directing the plot and stoking tensions with fake far-right and Muslim groups.

But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers. I’m gratefully people have reached out and referenced my work today. I remain (I believe) the only academic expert on the terrorism of the suffragettes. Links below:

Can’t believe how UK media has failed to call out Pete Hegseth who used the D-Day commemoration to trot out a racist ideology the Nazis would have applauded. It takes an American historian Heather Cox Richardson to tell it like it is
Politicians who exploit tragedy to create division and hate should be ashamed. What Farage did this week was despicable. #BBCLauraK
