Lifelong atheist, vegetarian, socialist now a pensioner. British values are best represented by the NHS, not by racists. Abolish the monarchy. UK needs PR.

I suspect they will show the same indifference as they have to genocide in Gaza.

Here is one from the long distant past. Similar in spirit to Jesse Welles, who I see has put out one about Iran.

Yes BAFTA edit was careless. Trump edit did not materially misrepresent what occurred.

You wouldn't have to go that far, just protesting genocide would be enough.

If Reform were not climate change deniers, sounds like it could have been a toss up between Reform and Labour.

If I tweeted an appeal to bomb British towns and cities, I would have been arrested by now.

"Now they have given a member of the public a 'deadline'
Standard for any news provider, story would never happen if they just waited.
Don't blame the BBC for Trump suing them. Their edit did not misrepresent what happened.
If he was suing for damage to his reputation he should be paying them.

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: β€œFor Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life.

Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship

Let credit unions serve their communities Don’t let outdated laws hold credit unions back.

Credit unions help people access fair, ethical finance. But an outdated law is holding them back.

I’ve signed this petition to update the rules so credit unions can grow and serve more communities.

Right now govt is making up an obviously false β€œsaving” to justify its imm, while ignoring the obviously true cost of that policy (treasury projections assume a level of net migration Home Sec opposes and which is unlikely to happen). And these ppl wonder why trust in politics is declining.

Labour's asylum policies will destroy lives and drive away voters Labour's asylum and immigration policies risk violating international law and are politically self-defeating, writes Daniel Sohege.

My latest piece for the @bigissue.com is out today, on how Labour's attacks on those seeking asylum are not only inhumane, potentially illegal, and seriously counterproductive, but also politically incoherent for a party which claims to be "progressive".

Home Office may forcibly remove child asylum seekers from UK in handcuffs Move is part of scheme to target families for expedited voluntary removals before enforced removal proceedings Children may be forcibly removed from the UK in handcuffs to β€œovercome noncompliance” as part of new proposals Home Office is considering to send more asylum seeker families back to their home countries. Since coming into office, the government has pledged to deport more migrants and has increased both voluntary and enforced returns, although some of those who have left the UK voluntarily did so without informing the Home Office.
