Did you see this today?
Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S.
Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis.
Not a flag.
Not a slogan.
The Constitution.
Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Literally leaped out of my office chair to perform a one-woman standing ovation to my laptop screen after reading this

In fact I suspect that a number of them will have seen fit to suddenly increase their round rent with extortionate amounts. I know that in my area they have suddenly doubled. Initially I didn't know why, but this really makes it obvious. They are squeezing every last penny from leaseholders.
#UK #Politics #Leaseholdership Anyone who was hopeful at finally seeing an end to the extortionate ground rent that freeholders can charge: The draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill does not put an end to it In fact, it has a sunset clause of 42 years in it. And freeholders are aware of that.
JESUS WAS NOT ABOUT WAGING WAR! HE WAS ALL ABOUT GIVING PEOPLE FREE BREAD AND FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!
The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern.
Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.
This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.
Screenshot of an X post by journalist Sam Stein stating that DHS claimed it left a man at a coffee shop described as a “warm, safe location,” but video later showed it was the middle of the night, cold, and the coffee shop was closed.
Screenshot of an X post from the official Homeland Security account titled “Here are the FACTS.” The statement says Buffalo Police alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen, that Mr. Shah Alam entered the U.S. as a refugee in December 2024, was not amenable to removal, and accepted a courtesy ride to a coffee shop described as a warm, safe location. It adds that he showed no signs of distress or disability requiring assistance.
This is negligent homicide. We demand justice for Shah Alam and his family. He was nearly blind, and they left him five miles from his home, forced to try to walk home alone in the dark and the freezing cold.

Anyway he's the worst post war PM for that alone and I hope it haunts that shallow little man forever
Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron.
10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Trump loves suing people.... so the PM should take a leaf out of his book. Starmer should sue the President for illegal damage to the British economy.
Don’t worry Donald - we will settle for £100bn, that’s how it works right?
An article in the Guardian this weekend showed just how dangerous the household budget myth is. The UK is not precariously poor, but the myths by which the Treasury and government manage the country are dangerous, condemning us to decline. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...
Ludicrously good line-up for tomorrow's RHLSTP and there's still a few £18.50 tickets left. What do you want London? My other testicle. www.leicestersquaretheatre.com/show/richard...
BOOK NOW
It’s today. You will be able to buy tickets on the door but book now to ensure you get an £18.50 one!
Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place.
No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate.
The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.
So many countries reminding the USA of all the things the USA is supposed to be…
Wes Streeting, Health Secretary: "Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary.
Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS."
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...
"That's just how it is."
ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.
Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.
“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔
(From @crindivisible.bsky.social )
Brexit enthusiasts really do say the stupidest things, don't they...🙄
“I am too scared to drive my 5-year-old daughter to school in my husband’s car. I’m terrified ICE will detain me and our daughter will end up alone,” she said. “This is just as scary as the war in Ukraine, except now we don’t have Dmytro with us..."

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
