This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Whoa! I missed this!

Retail sales rose by 0.5% in Sept but were expected to shrink by 0.2%.

That is 0.7 points better than expected!

It's the 4th month in a row they have increased and are now the highest since July 2022.

Growing retail sales are positive & suggest economic growth is likely.
Retail sales the highest in three years in a surprise to economists
Computer and telecommunications retailers did well as the iPhone 17 launched in the month.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Another important message from our PM:

"The ordinary people...who make this country what it is.

That's who I think of every time I face a decision.

I also know that at times it doesn't feel like Britain is fair enough for those people.

I'm putting you first, making Britain fair for you again."

Superb piece by @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social in this month's @bylinetimes.bsky.social mag: "Britain's Media Has Let Nigel Farage Reshape Political Journalism - Why?" This article alone was worth my annual sub to one of the very few news outlets still doing proper journalism

They are taking the British flag and claiming it as their own political logo. They are a disgrace.

A TalkTV caller asked if Reform UK will do anything about 'representation of demographics in TV adverts'.

Sarah Pochin: “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black and Asian people.”

Nigel Farage needs to condemn this now, and urgently clarify whether Pochin’s racism is welcome in his party.
But you showed us all what you really are.

@horseshoepartyuk.bsky.social, here are Labour's achievements:

This government is nationalising the railways (to be completed by 2027) and British Steel, allowed for locally owned buses, created GB Energy, the National Wealth Fund, and created the National Housing Bank.
Too little. Too late. You, madam, are an out and out racist.

Remember when JD Vance came to Europe and lectured us on free speech?

Division and grievance.

Or dignity and respect.

The PM and the Labour government call out what is essentially racism from Reform PM Sarah Pochin.

Reform are not even hiding it any more.

That's racism. Plain and simple.

No other word for it.

It's shocking beyond belief that this sort of thing is somehow acceptable.
Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, full of anything other than white"

Followed by that time Sarah Pochin said, "My kids say: mum, you're such a moron" 👀

the way Trump and his administration keep going on livestreams and tv to laugh about this, I can’t really compare it to anything political that comes to mind, only thing that comes to mind rn is a serial killer who writes letter taunting family of their victim.
Trump’s victims are now washing up in Trinidad:
“The U.S. campaign targeting what it says is drug trafficking from Venezuela has exposed Trinidad to the fallout: unidentified bodies with burn marks and missing limbs showing up in its territory.“
