When they tell you who they are, you better listen”

The Green Party has claimed figures from a projection show “only the Greens can stop Reform” in Gorton and Denton.

This is misleading. The model cited suggests Reform and the Greens will increase vote share the most, but currently projects a Labour win.

Suella Braverman, "There is a very strong case to increase the powers of any immigration enforcement officers that we deploy"

"At the moment they're hamstrung by human rights laws, by health and safety laws, by all sorts of needless and obstructive bureaucracy"

Does Braverman understand the utter stupidity of saying immigrants are an issue in this country after stating her parents came here from Kenya and Mauritius in the 1960’s?

For how long do the world’s leaders appease Trump. Ask yourself. Who is the bigger threat? Trump? Or a refugee on a boat. When we abandon our moral duty and our principles, the world dies, regardless of who wins the gunfight.

1/ In Davos, @caolanrob.bsky.social tried to ask Steve Witkoff about his ties to Russia. Witkoff ran away - & is now in Moscow.

@bylinetimes.bsky.social has detailed Witkoff's financial dealings with a man at the heart of Putin's mafia state. Why are so few other journalists digging into this?

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland.

Appeasement of Trump means all powerful nations are free to expand their borders. Years of conflict & unrest would follow.
