It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.
🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head.

Also lets fucking face it, keeping an MP away from kids can be considered basic safeguarding at this point.

This is legitimately fucked up? Schools live and die on their Ofsted rating and the government are leaning on a school for not wanting the vice chair of 'Labour Friends of Israel' lecturing them?

404 Media have a scoop about Palantir’s role in providing targeting data to the violent far-right paramiitaries of ICE.

As you may recall, Starmer and Streeting keep giving Palantir contracts without proper scrutiny and want to introduce Digital ID in the UK

Anyone planning on voting Labour: stop. You are splitting the vote. A vote for Labour is a vote for Reform and voting Labour means you WILL end up with a Farage government

Dude asked a very straightforward question and somehow entered a parallel universe.
Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?

Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

It’s always fun hearing defecting MPs explain why they won’t be holding a by-election to check their constituents are happy with their new party.

Jenrick claims he was elected at the last general election based on his personal profile and politics.

Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power.

And the current government is doing nothing to protect us from that.
NEW

The UK constitution is even more vulnerable than the US constitution

In the face of an illiberal radical assault, what has happened politically in America could easily happen in the UK

Considering recent events, we're incredulous as to why the only place you can access real time updates on delays/issues/cancellations for Irish Rail is on X. We'll be writing to them next week calling for them to move this service off X & on to their website where it's more accessible for all users.

Key question for Farage. There’s nothing new, reforming or anti-establishment about Reform.

Exactly the same people, corruption, uselessness and racism just sidling over to the Reform/Tory recycling bin. And he’ll never fix the mess the Tories made because they made it for Farage. He is the mess.
Sky's Rob Powell asks Nigel Farage that, given Robert Jenrick is the 7th person to have served in Boris Johnson's government to defect to Reform, how can his party be "a new, reforming force" when it is "bringing in so many people who caused the mess that you're trying to clean up"

Seems Labour might be just as amenable to Billionaires subversion of our democracy as their predecessors. And not far short of the notorious pro Russia spivs in Reform. At this rate ONLY the Green Party will be left standing up to soft power and in favour of our sovereignty and the rule of law

Of everything, and there's a lot, Labour could say about Jenrick to condemn him, that he "presided over an open borders experiment" isn't just objectively bollocks, it is also hugely offensive to those people whose lives Jenrick ruined as Immigration Minister. 1/
