A Tory peer is to quit the Conservatives & retire from the Lords after facing suspension over PPE contract deals
It comes after an investigation found he breached Lords code of conduct for helping a subsidiary of a company he chaired, to get contracts

it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
As Imran Khan said to me, the west will never solve its “migrant crisis” until there is a fair distribution of the world’s wealth of which Britain has had much influence. Perhaps Mahmood and the govt should not be looking at paying £40,000 to return but help countries its looted from to develop?
Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.
Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this
Revealed: The Staggering Amount of Time Nigel Farage has Spent on ‘Second’ Jobs Since Becoming an MP

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

We need to find a way to talk about Black (women) candidates that is expansive enough to reckon with racism (misogynoir) while at the same time acknowledging those candidates are humans who sometimes make bad policy commitments or campaign choices
What’s gone on for the last few years isn’t working
The UK has ended visa-free travel for Saint Lucia, citing asylum concerns.
Yet Britain issued over 250,000 visas to Ukrainians under emergency schemes after the 2022 invasion.
For many in the Caribbean, the contrast is difficult to ignore.

Wake up, UK. Reform = fascism. Same playbook as the Orange Felon. Do not let this happen.
Lindsey Graham's evidence on Fox News of Iran's "imminent threat" is a bunch of stuff that happened decades ago, then he brings up Hitler and 1939
Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!
OF COURSE Iran is fighting back!
OF COURSE the conflict is spreading!
What did they think would happen?
The US is being run by half-wits…
Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
Nigel Farage is off to the USA to do a speech to a US think tank this weekend.
No visit to Clacton, cares more about Republicans than British people.
A position apparently too nuanced for many British politicians & pundits.
"Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages."

It's truly extraordinary, all the column inches and earnest pundit chatter about his strategy and personality, when in fact it's all right there, in broad daylight. He's a baby having a tantrum. It's really no more complicated than that.
I only occasionally find myself reading Trump's words but it is still surprising to me, even now, that the world is ruled by someone with the mental age of a five year old.
Shabana Mahmood’s decision to tell every person applying for asylum from Monday that their status is temporary could undermine the refugee convention, the Law Society has said
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
Farage is today calling "for a change of the law to ensure millions of people never can have their vote taken away again" (the local elections)
And ALSO for a change in the law to take away the votes of almost a million current voters (Commonwealth nationals; migrants who are mostly not white)
The government's immigration proposals are an obscenity: They needlessly punish refugees, make integration basically impossible, and introduce a sliding system of administrative abuse depending on how wealthy you are iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...
What’s Really Happening….
United States troops are being killed to protect Trump's bank account and distract from the Epstein files. Operation Epstein fury.
“We are not at war and we are not getting involved in offensive action that the U.S and Israel are taking”
Prime minister Keir Starmer
WTH 🤷🏽♀️
Mr ‘we’ve had enough of experts’ Michael Gove arguing about legal expertise for war on #newsnight.
Why is this charlatan being treated like he’s worth listening to?
Who cares what Reform think?! They’re NOT the Opposition! If it’s not obvious by now, Kuenssberg, the BBC, ITV… basically all mainstream news media, are pulling for Farage by parroting his talking points and positioning his party at the epicentre of everything.
I expect Trump to begin musing about using limited nuclear weapons soon enough. He’s now completely drunk with power.
Beirut. Fourth strike since September 2024 of Lebanon by my math. Americans paid for it. YOUR American tax dollars also paid for the bombing of Iran Saturday, and the genocide in Gaza.
Plus the other five nations bombed by Netanyahu, listed below.
