An image of three cool tories under the header "Meet the Young Tories deaming of a bright blue future" but I've replaced their portraits with images of Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog from Bottom

Oh yes, those nasty left-wing agitators in Germany in the 1920’s and 30’s is what that country is best known for

Struggling to find much humour in the likely next leader of the Conservative Party cosplaying the National Front of the 1970s.

If you look at everything that Labour does through the lens of “What would Reform voters want us to do?”, all their decisions make sense

“It is designed to capture cumulative disruption.”

Shabana Mahmood denies that strengthened protest laws were created with the Gaza protests specifically in mind.

I might stand for parliament using this:
“I will make the UK the largest economy in the world”
“How will you do that?”
“I’m tired of irrelevant questions”

Kuenssberg: “Where would the 150,000 people you plan to deport each year actually go?”
Badenoch: “I’m tired of irrelevant questions.”
The Tories have an idiot in charge, one who doesn’t know NI voted Remain or why deportation deals even matter. #ukpolitics

Labour now being the useful idiot to the hard/far right in this country

Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social · 10d

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 11d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

It’s almost as if the Tories and Reform HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT THEY’RE DOING

Sam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social · 11d

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does.

E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.
