Matthew Goodwin objects to prosecuting this: ‘I think it’s time for the British to gang together, hit the streets and start the slaughter. Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MPs’ houses and Parliament, we need to take over by FORCE.’

It's wild that all these sports media outlets are reporting on Nacua's comments about the refs and not at all focusing on the antisemitic touchdown dance part of this story.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has an issue with NFL referees.

Nacua criticized NFL officiating on a live stream with popular streamers Adin Ross and N3on.

One way of telling the political story of the last ten years is of three wasted overall majorities.

A substantive majority in the Commons for a full term is the greatest prize the UK constitution can bestow on a PM, and three times in a row, it has been wasted by those prize-winners.

Not a website with Nazis on it, but A Nazi Website.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

It really is a central pillar of modern political xenophobia - a xenophobia that’s a major policy focus of the three top parties in British politics (I’m assuming reform now poll above the Lib Dems) - this complete lie that refugees specifically want to come to Britain above all European countries.
Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?

Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

Can't help but notice that when the press write about Bob Vylan's music they call them punks... But when they want to call out their politics they get called rappers.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

'Unbritish' is a disgusting turn of phrase from the home secretary... Conflating protests against illiberal laws or against genocide with celebrating the tragic deaths of yesterday... But also a red rag to an increasingly emboldened far right.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.
