Really nice interview, particularly where he talks about his mother and Windrush

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave. No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Very obviously but if you said this ten years ago, you got wall-to-wall screaming and finger-pointing for being divisive, insulting, ideologically purist and tribalistic. But it was plainly horrible National Front stuff then, just as it is now.

Apart from the sheer horror of this video being made at all, it’s clearly false for Mahmood to claim Denmark still protects people who need safety, unless you assume all of the 90% reduction in asylum claims consists of people whose claims would’ve been refused, which is unlikely, & probably untrue

Farage has stood in about fifty billion elections and almost certainly knew this. His presentation of himself as a daring revealer of some electoral cheat code supposedly being kept from the public is complete bullshit

BEAUTIFUL! #LGRW

The Dublane documentary is ruining me

[Walter Sobchak voice] As if we'd ever DREAM of escaping to your bullshit islands!

"permitting asylum seekers to join the army?"

"YES AND HO"

A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.

Imagine what would be happening in Oxford now if Mandelson had become Chancellor

The FTT (IAC) has been issuing this direction as standard for a few months now

Liz Truss's proposed private members club looks like a level from Thief

I think the desire to maintain the "sublime" bits of the constitution feeds a lot into the unwillingness of MPs and Lords to get out of the Palace of Westminster for repairs. Can't imagine eg Black Rod banging on the door of a modern conference centre for the state opening

Would pay good money for a lengthy article going over how on earth this front page happened

IF THE BBC LEAVES THIS HOCKEY GAME FOR THE FUCKING CURLING I WILL STOP PAYING THE LICENCE FEE

Yes, what if we moved the goalposts again so that this abysmal piece of shit, this walking affront to the democratic process, could just jail anyone he wants rid of? Much to think about

Lewis Goodall • @lewis_goodall X.com In August we made special eps on @TheNewsAgents about how Al could shatter our politics and economy unless it's managed better. Our politicians barely understand it. We're barely talking about it in anything but the most superficial ways. Needs to change. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spe... , Miles Deutscher 3 @milesdeutscher•7h This is getting out of control now... Read this slowly. In the past week alone:

Yeah, when I read this stuff about how AI will destroy the universe and we all need to make huge changes Right Now, Damn It, I hear: “the world’s richest people ploughed squillions into a perpetual motion machine that is dying on its arse and will now pay out zero dollars”.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.

'In written submissions, al-Libi's barristers said the government had "proceeded to enter her chambers despite having been refused permission, enter her safe in her absence, and remove the very working material over which consent had been expressly refused, in both electronic and paper form".'

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

In 2008, Martine Vik Magnusson was raped and killed and her body dumped in a Gt Portland Street basement. Billionaire's son Farouk Abdulhak, who did it, fled back to Yemen the next morning. Here's Jeffrey Epstein seeking legal advice (from an ex-DPP) on how he could be sheltered from justice.

I'm sorry but it's very funny to me that the legislature of a G7/P5 country of 70 million is currently drafting the "Fuck This One Guy in Particular Act of 2026."

Also, imagine tolerating a system of privilege so entrenched you need to rewrite centuries-old rules just to get at one douchebag.
