As Westminster rages, and Labour sinks into civil war: what about the people? Once again @chakrabortty nails it while most of the media keep playing the game that forgets about real world https://t.co/0M0PgZoauh

I’ve got a bike that hasn’t been used in about five years and is about to come out of retirement. Can anybody suggest a good bicycle establishment for a service in north London? Thank you

I'm reluctantly posting on X again because the world needs to read this.

My daughter Zoe Rogers gave her own closing speech at the Filton trial, as did 4 other defendants, while their barristers looked on.

This is what she said 🧵 1/

Today we announce a new policy:

In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.

Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.

So here’s our promise:

A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP.

Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council.

And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.

Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you.

If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will.

This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed.

Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy.

A new cricket season. A new #Playfair.

NB At @HomeOfCricket watching Middlesex vs Gloucs rather than Cardiff (not) watching @YorkshireCCC vs Glamorgan for a variety of logistical reasons. Good to be watching cricket anyway, even if it is cold and dark and division two 🤣

Karl Marx:

❝The English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. He regards himself as a part of the ruling nation & becomes a tool of the English capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself.

The English worker cherishes religious and social prejudices against the Irish worker. His attitude is the same as that of the poor whites to the blacks in the USA. This antagonism is artificially intensified by the press & all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes.

The Irishman does the same and sees in the English worker only the accomplice of the English rulers. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the working class. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power. The alternative is class solidarity.❞

@jmullinjourno @Heineken 🤣 Now that was funny. My Mum texted exactly the same thing about two minutes ago

@jmullinjourno @Heineken Not sure it works given your reaction 🤣. Particularly satisfying to watch #SuperSaturday after a competitive outing with #CCJFC at lunchtime, justifying the sofa extravaganza
