How dare her!! 🧐🤨
"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Shabana Mahmood says Labour values & 1951 that refugee convention is protection should be temporary
The practice of refugee protection in each of last 7 and a half decades has been that some have gone back & many have become British

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.
Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!
“Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton”

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

RIP to Neil Sedaka who wrote all those amazing tracks... from the age of 20 and yet somehow managed to be 46 forever...
(I think he's 21 here)

If only there was some precedent in history of an "unsinkable" ship steering the wrong course at a potential hazard, at high speed, and not listening to warnings about the huge iceberg ahead....
Conservatives post on X: Why should the country have to put up with three more years of Keir Starmer?
The Tory Party has learned absolutely nothing from their annihilation at the general election. Not one single thing.
The public endured 14 years of the Tories and 5 catastrophically bad PM’s.
Great to see the Conservatives wanting to reform student loans. Would like to see an account for Osborne replacing maintenance grants with loans in 2015. This has left poorer students with bigger debts vs richer ones for a whole decade, compounding inequality between rich and poor. It’s scandalous.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.
People have to do jail time. Powerful people, who thought they were untouchable. They have to be arrested, tried, stripped of assets relating to their crimes, and sent to jail.
Because if it doesn't happen, it will prove to voters that democracy is a sham.
And then we're seriously fucked.
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life and your family’s lives worse talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/28/d...
This is who Reform are putting up to represent a parliamentary seat in one of Europe's most diverse major cities
44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK.
Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation.
It's a bold electoral strategy: vote for me and I'll throw you into the sea.

I reported back in *August 2024* that Goodwin had left the university of Kent. And that the supposed emeritus title he used was nothing of the sort. Since then he’s only hid a part-time title from a private for-profit university. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-m...
