On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

I see Nigel Farage seems to have survived evidence of overt antisemitic behaviour from his teens and constituents of Clacton voicing anger at his greed and dereliction of his duty as an MP. Can’t find any demands for his resignation.

Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

To see how Labour stitched the UK up in today's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA, you have to turn to the US readout of what they're getting in return.
It spells out what was as clear as mud in the UK government's own press release: we will pay more for medicines.

This is the reality behind the hype. AI isn't fully replacing people yet, but it is downsizing teams, turning 10 workers into 7 who now need to spend their time reviewing LLM outputs.

But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion.
He said it was a “hoax”.
He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference.
