The voters outside looked from Reform to Labour, and Labour to Reform, and from Reform to Labour again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

The far right wing are going to hate that this👇🏼hero who saved many lives on the train is not White Anglo-Saxon who was wrapped in a St George’s flag..
So do make sure they find out eh 😉

Samir Zitouni the rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during mass stabbing on a train, “critically unwell“ in hospital is who Farage/Reform/Lowe & Tory Katie Lam would deport..
Lucy Connelly convicted for race hate is what right wing view as a hero
He saved lives she wanted them taken❗️

Buckingham Palace has announced that it is removing all remaining styles, titles and honours of Prince Andrew:
"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."
He is also being evicted from his accommodation at Royal Lodge.
Correct action, but it should never have taken this long.

Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.
NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

Farage, why did you run away from Caerphilly before the result was officially released? Why didn't you stay to support all those who worked so hard for your company to lose? You show no signs of being a worthwhile leader.

The Green Party’s wealth tax proposals are sensible and widely supported. 👇

‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Farage is good at interviews where some media lapdog invites him to blether away, untethered by facts or logic.
He's terrified of being in a situation where he might be asked hard questions - about the mysterious house, the Russian bribes, the teenage infatuation with Hitler, etc.

Disappointed in Labour (again) but very relieved to see this scandal gathering pace when it felt like hardly anyone had noticed it on Monday. Fair play to @sundersays.bsky.social for highlighting it tirelessly.
Senior Labour figures have expressed dismay at the Party's "cowardly" and "incompetent" response to Tory shadow minister Katie Lam calling for legal migrants to "go home".
"What’s the point of us saying we’re anti-racist when we fail to call out racism," said one MP.
