🔥 Excellent from Lisa Nandy!

That’s gonna leave a mark!
A tweet from Adam (@AdameMedia) reads: “JUST IN: A moment of disgrace for America on the world stage. U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz hurls a barrage of misinformation about Cuba and gets cut off: ‘This is the UN General Assembly, not a Signal chat.’” The image shows Mike Waltz speaking at the UN General Assembly podium with his name and title displayed on-screen.

Yes, because Badenoch’s was a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence, whereas Reeves’ was not.

Nige thinks Pochin’s comments were ugly and unpleasant. But he agrees with them | John Crace
Reform is no place for racists, and every party has its bad apples. But the benchmark seems to be higher at Farage’s party

Probably because they are thick, crude and incompetent.

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

went to Caerphilly on byelection day. Where *was* candidate Llŷr Powell, ex-colleague of Russian puppet Nathan Gill? And what did Plaid Cymru's Lindsay Whittle say?

Superb reporting by @peterjukes.bsky.social in @bylinetimes.bsky.social on Farage, Putin & Nathan Gill.
The sort of reporting you’d want the BBC to do and should really be career-ending for Farage if @teamlabouruk.bsky.social or the Tories knew what they were doing!

lol.
A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag. The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Of course it was bloody rigged - the data is out there - it's just being covered up by MAGA and the media.

The anti-migrant language about "cultural coherence" used by rising Tory star Katie Lam sounds very much like the 1930s, when her grandmother found sanctuary in the UK www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...
