This society lauded a police officer who lied and cheated and ruined lives. At last, a reckoning | George Monbiot
As a ‘spy cop’, Bob Lambert callously betrayed innocent women. The official inquiry must ask harsh questions of him – and the state, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

We're really going with "the Tories had an open border policy"? The Tories? The Labour Party is attacking the Tories from the right on immigration?

Keir Starmer attacking the Tories from the right on immigration, the party whose hostile environment policies have killed people. That’s where we’re at.

#r4today already getting it wrong in its coverage from Turkey:
1) Turkey has never been "welcoming" to refugees. The EU paid it, a lot, to prevent people reaching its borders, and Turkey has been shown to repeatedly abuse them.
2) Refugees are not "illegal". Nothing about what they do is illegal.

Because she’s fucking off her head, repeats tired far right bullshit we’ve hear *constantly* and signed off a report that said us lazy Afro-Caribbean people are inferior to her. I don’t need to listen to her, leader of the opposition or not.
I find the number of people saying they want to block her as a response to this genuinely baffling. You don't need to like her. She's the leader of the opposition. Even if you're absolutely convinced she's wrong about everything, why not listen to ideas you disagree with?

There are many valid explanations for the success of the far right around the world. But much of it comes down to this:
The right has realised that anything is possible, while the left has persuaded itself that nothing is possible.

It’s wild to see that most science fiction/ future dystopian fiction seems to attribute collapsing birth rates to a medical cataclysm (infertility etc.) and in reality its actually due to the failures of capitalism and how intolerable many dudes are.

It is cases like this, and there are so many of them, which really show how unfit for purpose the Home Office and Border Force are. Absolutely no justification for threatening removal of this family, but miscommunication and errors can lead to this happening so easily.

the important question isn’t “did Harris lose because the left is too woke?” it’s “why isn’t Donald Trump in federal prison?” We’re being subjected to lectures about politics by the people who held all of the power and let this dipshit slip through their grasp.

Your regular reminder that it isn't people seeking safety "costing the taxpayers money", it is private firms and Home Office incompetence. Cruelty and inhumanity cost far more than actually doing the right things of processing claims and providing protection.

I'm at my mum and dad's so I get to hang out with their cat Jessie.
And by hang out I mean I speak nonsense to her and she occasionally stares at me.

Ok, Biden and democrats. You have literally lost everything. You're trying for a peace deal? Cute. Israel's not going to make a peace with Trump incoming. So maybe now is the time to make good on your promise to stop supplying weapons, which is the absolute minimum you can do?

Any Dem acting like we need to push further right needs to be tossed immediately. Harris lost, but not by as much as people are saying.
Anyone talking like this has always wanted to be more conservative and now they have an excuse. Fuck off.
