Many thanks to GB News for helping me undermine the Standards Commission by calling it a kangaroo court. It’s almost as if I asked them to prepare the ground by questioning the commission’s legitimacy, just in time for when I’m found to have broken the rules.

Born to be retired. Currently into Macraweave but ask me again next week. Angry with the mess the Tories and Brexit have left us in. FYO: A “Hello dear” DM earns an instant block (every time, as people don’t seem to believe me!)

Running around with your friends shouldn't leave you struggling for breath. But for too many of London’s children, polluted air was harming their health. Experts said it would take nearly 200 years to reach legal air quality limits. We did it in nine.

Ulez's success must be a call to action to carry on in our efforts to improve the air in the UK, writes London mum and clean air campaigner Ruth.

40% of Britons incorrectly believe that small boat crossings have increased this year compared to last year, according to exclusive YouGov polling for Sky News. and you wonder why… youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...
It’s time UK media reminded Farage how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT!

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg leaked The Pentagon Papers exposing the lies told to the public about the disastrous Viet Nam war, forever becoming a hero in history. Now... someone PLEASE leak #TheEPSTEINFiles & end the biggest coverup scandal of all-time! 🙏
1/2 The BBC dedicated nearly an hour to broadcasting an empty podium for a Reform UK presser while uncritically relaying unverified welfare policy claims. When a public broadcaster acts as a platform for minor parties, impartiality is dead. Is BBC news impartiality broken?
BBC slammed over pushing Reform UK propaganda yet again
Overly eager to air Reform's latest press conference, the BBC displayed an empty podium for the better part of an hour. What the hell?

Let me get this right? There’s been a massive number of lynchings in the US over the past year and we are not hearing about this from the NYT, WaPo, LA Times, or any other major outlet? Can we get @propublica.org to cover this?
Natalie Harp, the child aide being viciously attacked for being a helpless young girl, is 35 years old.
Vile little bully of a man whipping up hatred against a tiny minority of people who just want to live their lives.

Social media companies need to be held responsible for the things posted on their sites and the individuals concerned need to be prosecuted.
Anti-Muslim hate is a poison, fuelled by racist online rhetoric. It destroys lives and leaves people living in fear. A woman shouldn't fear abuse for wearing a hijab. A child shouldn't face hatred because of their faith. The Met has my full support in taking a zero-tolerance approach.

Anti-Muslim hate reports overtake 2023 total - Tell Mama
Between January and June this year, there were 1,031 reports of incidents, a monitoring body says.

I'd say "Something for nothing" culture is getting paid £100,000 a year of public money, plus expenses, for a job that you then fail to turn up to for months on end
Co-opting Christianity as a political weapon to stir up anti-Muslim sentiment is a cynical degradation of faith. Weaponising national identity to divide communities isn't patriotism; it's dangerous opportunism. Faith should build bridges, not fuel hostility. What do you think? 1/2
Farage using Christianity ‘to stir anti-Muslim feeling’, says Rowan Williams

Since when does a witness need the president to ALLOW them to testify? Sounds like witness tampering to me.
So we can't have anything good ever again as it will make people jealous and attract more migrants...?! 🤷🏼♀️
I just knew we'd get this bollocks. Farage - like the Telegraph- doesn't want progress or anything to improve he just wants Britain to sit in a miserable slump in which he can holler constantly about "migrants" and drink pints in slow motion videos with people who pine for WW2.

If Farage forces unemployed people to sweep streets, will street-sweepers become unemployed?
We do not build the reservoirs needed to store the rain that falls here. We do not build strategic food reserves needed to maintain provision in hard times. We failed to build effective stores of PPE, to protect us in pandemics. This country has long been governed by people who do not prepare.
Why should France stop the migrants at all if we alienate them? Once they are off their shores they aren't their problem any more and Brexit put paid to the Dublin Accords. That is reality. These people live in a union jack bedecked Cloud Cuckoo Land. news.sky.com/story/politi...
Politics latest: Stand up to France to stop small boats, more Britons say in exclusive Sky poll
More Britons believe efforts to stop small boat crossings are more likely to succeed by standing up to France rather than co-operating, an exclusive poll by YouGov for Sky News has found. While Andy B...

It would be nice to think that those who made this into a culture war issue and those who fell for it might reconsider now but I won't hold my breath...!
This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.
GB News is a straightforward propaganda outlet, Boris Johnson filled the BBC with Tory placemen, and 'regulator' Lord Grade is openly biased in favour of rightwing politicians. Such are the advantages of a free press.
Remember nose-picker, Iain Dullwit Smith, cheering on thugs in his constituency for vandalising ULEZ cameras? What an idiot. Always on the wrong side of history. Whereas Khan and ULEZ got it right. And put children’s health first. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
