Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

So Bongo off of U2 has spent 45 years posing as the world's leading humanitarian yet his only response to the largest genocide in decades is a song called Silence.

the way labour dorks try to paint the left as pro-russia after their government has turned the uk in to a russia style oligarchy. 🤷‍♀️

No doubt Netanyahu is performing but I don’t think this is much of an act. The default stance of your average Israeli citizen appears to be barely constrained fury at the mere idea they may have done anything wrong, like the guy outside the pub pacing and punching things to show how enraged he is.

Not difficult to see coming, either

oh i jus remembered. lol this is the labour mp who called ann widdecombe 'woke' bcos she didn't think trans women deserved to be raped. you've really got your best ppl put forward, @lucympowell.bsky.social. his x feed is full of racism, transphobia, and far right conspiracies.

🔴 Is Andy Burnham's government more 'blue labour' than Keir Starmer's was? 🤔 👉️ Here's what Jonathan Hinder had to say 👀 as part of LabourList and PLMR's latest interview as part of our Labour Tribes project... Read the full interview here 👇 labourlist.org/2026/09/insi...

I've just seen an American liberal account calling Trump a "Commie" with all the other liberal clowns absolutely loving it. Please America, fix your schools.

They arrested a blind man in a wheelchair for supporting terrorism because he held a sign

Daniel Thomas/Tommo has been charged, with a single count of criminal damage, plus a fresh charge under Regulation of Investigatory Powers for failing to provide his phone pin. He will appear in Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

The Times continues to push on scything public pensions, a thing they can do because they do not have to worry about public opinion. Their audience is the country’s ruling class, not you.

Eh, what now? This is awful. This is unacceptable and goes against UKRI policy, which clearly states: "Assessors...must not use generative AI tools as part of their assessment activities except for language refinement purposes".

John Stott@jpsastro.bsky.social · 4d ago

Had a UKRI funded grant proposal rejected at the "AI triage stage". "This AI-based triage was used only to identify approximately 50% of the strongest proposals to take forward to full human review." 🧪 #academicsky

I stand by my long held opinion that Caitlin Moran is fucking awful

Strange that the Starmer government was completely fucked up by their failure to push through benefit cuts, since they are so very popular with the public

Fascinating piece which reminds us that, far from being some sort of aberration or recent departure, the likes of “Danny Tommo” are quintessentially, and horribly, English

🆘 Three little girls still call him “Dad.” But sepsis is taking their father away from them. Mahmoud is fighting for every breath. I’m terrified the next one could be his last. Dad is dying while his girls still wait. £260 remains. Please… don’t let this be the end.💔😭 chuffed.org/project/omsh...

This feels like the day on which the internet has become unusable

Finally

That's certainly how most people saw it. But, based on their behaviour, this is how world leaders including Andy Burnham seem to regard Trump, and we should stop pretending otherwise.

"Well, if the Americans won't stop occupying Muslim lands..." - Evan Davis, 09/12/2001

Evan Davis on PM asked if ‘Danny Tommo’ “had any kind of point” by puncturing a dinghy with a knife because “the [authorities] should be doing that themselves”. He went on to describe it as “vigilante action”.

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

John Oxley@joxley.jmoxley.co.uk · 5d ago

The man who filmed himself stabbing one, with a person on board, is still seemingly at large.

Humoring conservatives & acting like they make good points over the last 30 years brought us here. You never have to listen to them for the rest of our lives. It's time to treat career arsonists with the contempt they've earned instead of imagining a fake world where they're reasonable interlocutors

Yep, it's definitely him and he's definitely doing it - that's attempted murder. Case closed. We don't need Ludwig or Sherlock, FFS. Lock him up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Police looking at video of anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas slashing at boat with knife

Daniel Thomas, known to his supporters as Danny Tommo, livestreamed a video of the alleged incident.

We have closed all safe and legal routes. This is all that's left. We can fix this by opening safe and legal asylum claims from the other side of the channel, breaking the criminal gangs overnight. That's just not racist enough. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Home Secretary hits out at 'unacceptable' migrant landings in Kent

The arrivals of two unescorted migrant boats mark the first uncontrolled landings recorded in the UK since 2025.

bbc.co.uk

How I feel right now about the British/ 🇬🇧English( whatever) political landscape is that some one wrapped in a Union Jack could whack me over the head with a flag pole & the BBC would shove a microphone in my face asking why I provoked the attacker & the Home Sec would invite the attacker for tea .

So you hold up a placard condemning genocide you will get arrested and end up in jail and a criminal conviction whereas if you break the international maritime law it’s vigilante justice that’s the epitome of a two tier justice system

Here’s that moment should you think I’m making it up:

Evan Davis on PM asked if ‘Danny Tommo’ “had any kind of point” by puncturing a dinghy with a knife because “the [authorities] should be doing that themselves”. He went on to describe it as “vigilante action”.
