It was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.

It's depressing that this moved me so much, but did. First time I've heard a politician praise a group of immigrants, without caveat, for a long while.

Andy Burnham, "To me, carers should be the best paid people in society, not the worst" "Many people from other countries have been caring for my dad" Andy Burnham praises migrants to the UK who care for our elderly, a stark contrast to Keir-island-of-strangers-Starmer

I absolutely love this style of writing, it's a joy to read.

Down at the Muckrakers Arms, mischievous Pecksniff: - explores why Burnham is writing his own political story instead of responding to everyone else's. - peers behind the headlines at the real cabinet intrigue. - finds plenty to amuse him in Clacton's extraordinary by-election. Enjoy!

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

Farage is done, eh pal? @rajworks.bsky.social No way back from this

Farage: epic grifter

Everybody in Clacton should bet £50 on Count Binface to win the Farage bung byelection then vote for him. Ker-ching! Everyone in Clacton is £100,000 better off - & you can afford a lot of 99p croissants for that! @countbinface.bsky.social

Yes, yes and yes again, if we do not listen to Alf Dubs on asylum then we have lost our way completely. @andyburnham.bsky.social if you do not listen to these voices then we are, all of us, doomed. We need better.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Hard not to regard this as a classic example of a pre-emptive campaign by certain sectors, along with their media sympathisers, to discourage a new prime minister from appointing someone who might damage their interests in the long and short term. And it will almost certainly work.

All it takes for Reform to fail is the shadow tanker fleet of the BBC, right wing press, and nervous media oligarchs, to turn away from their current course, and actually report some rather inconvenient truths about political corruption around crypto and money laundering

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy? | George Monbiot

The right is obsessed with ‘two-tier policing’. This is indeed a two-tier government – but the real victims are progressives, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Hey Tommy 'No nuts' Robinson or Nigel 'Pure Rage' Farage where are your calls for violence and protests tonight? The victim's description doesn't include the word 'White' I assume. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u...

I'm far more terrified of gangs of masked thugs roaming the streets kicking in doors, checking cars, attacking anyone they want with apparent impunity than I am of being stabbed by someone with a different religion or country of origin.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

The BBC was all over the Angela Rayner story for weeks. Don't expect them to feature this story though - they have a policy of ignoring negative Reform stories.

I'm a Makerfield voter and this thing is what Reform want to look after my interests. He's going to absolutely destroy Starmer in any debate, isn't he? Honestly, how can sane people look at this and think, "Yep, that guy's for me".

Absolutely shocking. No clue. No idea. No respect for workers rights - doesn't affect him so he doesn't seem to care...

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

I’m an immigrant, a former NHS worker and someone who genuinely wanted Labour to succeed. I did not vote for them on Thursday, and they have heartily earned the loss of my ballot. The election results we saw this week prove it - Labour’s rightward lurch is a catastrophic mistake.

Labour’s Death March to the Right

How many voters is Labour willing to lose chasing people who will never vote for them anyway?

Welcome to Reform's Farage Camps. A determined attempt to politicise and weaponise migrants with threatening language and behaviour that evokes the worst excesses of tyranny in the 20th century. #FarageCamps

I will never understand why people like Farage and why the automatic assumption that Labour should lose thousands of councils at a local level because of national issues. Why get rid of decent councillors.

If you’re going to take away our civil rights, don’t be surprised when we stop acting so civil

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

This is appalling. How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead after this?

It would be a terrible thing to fuck with Farage by sending ReformUK's election vomit back to their freepost address costing them money.... But I definitely will!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
