I agree. And I’d be happy not to see another voting poll for 3 years at least

I have a British passport. Why can’t govt introduce a similar physical item for people who have a right to live here but who don’t qualify for a passport?
And I don’t mean just a sheet of paper but something very similar to a passport.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Starmer at the very least should have condemned the kidnap of British citizens by Israel.

But his whole-hearted support for the genocidal Israeli regime came first.

🔴Family of Gaza Activist From Starmer’s Constituency Criticises Him for Not Helping Flotilla Detainees

“The fact his constituents and people from the country he is prime minister of were being held in Israeli prison, you think he would have something to say about it”

It’s the Israeli government that wants to wipe out the Palestinians but you keep your blinkers on.

I think they are so obsessed with wealth and economic growth that that is the only lens they can see the world through. And citizens are mere units of production to help keep the mega rich, mega rich.

Interesting that Buckland doesn’t refer to the protections that the ECHR gives all of us. He seems to see it only through party political and pragmatic terms.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Staggeringly, Jenrick is a qualified solicitor.

And married to the daughter of Holocaust survivors…and we all know what happened to Jews (and dissidents) when Hitler turned the German judiciary into political puppets.

So shame SHAME on him.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 1d

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has clarified that British people are allowed to protest as long as they don't protest too often, their protests aren't seen by anyone, and they are completely ineffective. Anything else is un-British and basically terrorism x

When you review from all angles, all logic… the only explanation left standing is often the truth …

#Starmer is compromised by a foreign state , a state that is out of control, that takes itself beyond international law .. that is happy to commit crimes of genocide … Zionism is the master

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

Is Starmer ever going to ask Israel to stop the bombing for even a day so that Palestinian people can grieve in peace for the tens of thousands killed by Israel?

I won’t hold my breath.

Adam @adamfi.bsky.social · 2d

Beggars belief that Starmer demands an end to Palestine protests so as not to offend. Meanwhile Israel continues to bomb Gaza even during the remembrance services and ongoing peace talks.
