What is it about a “man” arrested for various sexual offences in Florida, and a “man” found culpable of 34 sexual offences in New York, that makes Nigel Farage want to be associated with them…?

ICE keeps using the same justification for killing drivers

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot dead by immigration agents while on his way to work. DHS claims he was using his vehicle as a weapon.

motherjones.com

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

Yep, indeed, need to forget her 'Strictly' dance-washing later in her life & recall that this is the person defined by an extreme moral conservatism, & for whom the Tories were not callous enough so made her way via the Brexit party to Reform as, ahem, 'Immigration and Justice spokesperson'

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Grenfell: nine years of demanding justice and still waiting

Sunday 14 June 2026 marked the ninth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people in a predicted and preventable disaster.

Can the charge of corporate manslaughter stick in the context of Grenfell? This blog from @stevetombs.bsky.social looks at the failure corporate manslaughter legislation in the UK @europeangroup.bsky.social #Grenfell

Ahead of the ninth anniversary of #Grenfell, Steve Tombs examines how the Grenfell disaster will test whether UK corporate manslaughter law can finally hold large organisations accountable for avoidable deaths. https://ow.ly/jho650Zb3J9

Grenfell was not an accident. It was the result of human life being treated as less important than profit. And thousands of people across the UK are still living in buildings wrapped in the same deadly failures that made Grenfell possible.

We remember our loved ones today and every day. Next month is the last anniversary with any part of Grenfell Tower remaining. Join us in solidarity to remember those we lost, and demand Justice for the 72 💚

💔 Nobody rioted over their murders, because they were murdered by white men & that doesn't fit the narrative of #Farage, #Reform or any of the other #FarRight groups.
