I have to say, it’s great to see Reform being called out for exactly what they are and what they do by Zak Polanski on #questiontime

They’re targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for one reason: she had the courage to hold Donald Trump accountable.

This is political weaponization of our courts, plain and simple—and proof that when you stand up to corruption, they come for you.

Absolute facts!!!! Immigrants didn’t shut down our businesses, immigrants didn’t mismanage trillions of pounds, immigrants didn’t lie to us about leaving the EU and immigrants didn’t kill millions due to politics of cruelty. Labour, Reform snd Tories are all complicit.

We need hope not excuses. 💚

You *really* should be by now but you don’t *actually* have to call them liars or racists, if it offends your commitment to now almost entirely redundant BBC principles of ‘objectivity’ & ‘ balance’. You just have to ask them again & again & again to justify their words & explain their exact meaning

James O’Brien @mrjamesob.bsky.social · 9h

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

People could leave and come back though and the clock would start again. However if they were more than 183 days out of the calendar year in Spain they should have also registered for tax residency in Spain. This again many failed to do.

There seems to be some strange consternation from British holiday companies that Spain should want to promote the history and culture to potential holidaymakers over cheap booze and fags too! How utterly horrible is that! How very dare these foreign places have history and culture! 😉

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

It's Spain's fault for not HUNTING US DOWN.

(All EU citizens need to register for 90 day+ stays and when the UK was a member hundreds of thousands didn't bother)

Can we pause and imagine the well of sympathy in the Telegraph for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of overstaying foreigners in the UK who don't speak English. Polluting the culture.

So the argument for sending US troops into cities to be used against Americans is that Antifa has apparently taken over our cities and the troops have to battle them.

We seem to have reached the ‘portraying the KKK in a negative light is controversial’ stage already.

Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

• Players would fight the emerging KKK

• Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash

The first phase of the Gaza deal is a major step towards peace.
We now need to plan for the day after.

The EU stands ready to do its part, by redeploying our EUBAM Rafah mission and discussing what can be done with EUPOL COPPS mandate.

If someone is voting reform they are supporting a party which wants to introduce a manifesto of racist policies. If voters do not wish to be associated with racism they should vote for a different party. Occasionally these things really are straightforward.

Dee the KittyServant @mixitupdeedee62.bsky.social · 14h

It's irrational and unfair to claim that ALL 'reform' intention voters are 'racist'. It's reductive and deeply worrying that people are making this assumption.

Do racists vote reform? Yes.

Are all reform voters racist? No.

Should 'reform' be driven out of EVERY town? YES.

Didn’t BBC QT before the election change the audience composition to reflect the seat make up of the commons. I’m guessing they’ve changed that already
