As the former pandemic vaccines minister, wasn’t Nadhim Zahawi “at all bothered that Reform had given a platform to a medic who said the king’s cancer had been caused by the Covid vaccine?”

Apparently not. Savagely brilliant piece @mrjohncrace.bsky.social 🔥

As a member of Reform, Nadhim was adamant he had more to give. Even if none of us really wanted him

Reform: where no one is too corrupt, no one is too racist, no one is too incompetent.

They welcome any and all shitstains. Very few questions asked. No principles ever needed. Just a raging sense of entitlement and a willingness to betray your country for money and maybe a grubby peerage.

Whatever is in the #Epstein files must be some pretty awful shit to need such distractions.

Is it a good idea to host a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country whose secret state police hunt down innocent people, lock them in cages, or execute them in the street?

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I do agree with @kristinoem on one thing. This whole thing WAS completely preventable.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
- George Orwell, 1984

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed
