So, we’re spending U.K. tax payer money to go and get people who left the U.K. because they didn’t want to pay tax? The same people who are now immigrants in another country yet blame immigrants here for every problem?!?

Holiday makers yes, tax dodgers…..fund it yourself.

Better than when they announce boarding only 5 mins before departure - not an easy race for the infirm, those with masses of luggage or small children.

ICE Took Wael Tarabishi's Full Time Caregiver Away... and it Killed Him Wael Tarabishi was a 30 year old disabled man who's father Maher was his full time caregiver. ICE took Maher in October, leaving Wael without support. He died three months later.

On this Disability Day of Mourning, let’s honor Wael Tarabishi, a disabled man who died when ICE took his caregiver away.

Wael told them he would die without his father who was his β€œarms, legs & lungs”.

ICE took him anyways.

Wael died 3 months later:

The sarcastrophe: ^
This triangle symbol is used around words and sentences to denote sarcasm.

Let's bring back the sarcastrophe.

The day after a by-election in the UK and as truth flirts with fake news and fedupedness with ItoldYouSoism social media is crying out for a standardised way to denote sarcasm

Melt the ICE Hat pattern by Paul S Neary In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...

Time for some new #knitting. Just downloaded this pattern for a Norwegian Resistance Hat, originally protesting against the Nazis in WW2, now repurposed as a 'Melt the ICE' statement. But please someone, tell me a good rebellious wool to get. I am tricoteuse. TY 🧢

The fact that Lyse Douchet's salary is lower than Mason's or Kuenssberg's shames the BBC.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.

This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.

Labour are having a radical week. Not necessarily for what you think.

They’ve introduced measures to stop MPs having Second jobs (or 9).

They’re also introducing a restriction on donations to political parties from foreign donors.

Change is coming.

Expect loud noise.

There absolutely should be more resignations today.

Sam Coates
Beth Rigby
Chris Mason
Laura Kuensberg

Would be a good start.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no β€˜misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
