EXCLUSIVE: The UK Government has blocked the release of files on a shadowy Israeli firm caught meddling in the Scottish parliament elections 🚨

Downing Street cited an exemption that allows documents to be withheld if they would 'prejudice relations' with another state

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I recently led a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs' second jobs.

When an MP can pocket more for a couple of hours of “work” than a nurse earns in an entire year, something is deeply broken in our politics.

It's time to end this racket.

Nigel Farage: the controversies

A chronology of @Nigel_Farage’s claims, contradictions and crookedness.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

They’re in the process of trying to erase this history.

Don’t let them.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I raised again this week in the debate about the illegal & brutal expansion of Israeli settlements on the West Bank the cases of the disappearance by Israeli forces of Dr Mazen Al Rantisi & the continued imprisonment of Dr Husam Abu Sadiya, whose life we fear is now at risk.

Congratulating Nigel Farage on his vanity by-election

@RamAbdu Dictatorships always kill off intellectuals and academics first.
RIP beautiful girls, taken far too soon by neanderthal thugs who stole your land and your lives.
So called Israelis are jealous of the Palestinians, who know how to love and laugh and are recognisably human.

Two weeks before he took to the stage in Clacton, we installed a remote-controlled banner behind Farage. (June 2024)

@depressedrays Hilarious!

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

He's really rattled

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I wonder how the Daily Mail's @craighope_DM has felt over the past 24 hours.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I would urge Nick Robinson to read this & respond as to why none of this was effectively addressed by him in the interview he undertook with Morgan McSweeney. The right thing for him to do now would be to interview in depth Paul Holden. @bbcnickrobinson

@ChrisMasonBBC seems to think the story is about how many times he asked Burnham a question he was never going to answer.

“Can I get a selfie with you, Nigel?”
“I’ve no idea who you are.”

10 years ago Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death in Birstall by a far right thug.
Do you remember the Farage \ Tommy Robinson riots that followed it,
No me neither.

Everyone should watch this speech.

"The irony of accepting an award for covering a genocide in the very country that enables that genocide should not be lost."

AJ Faultlines documentary, Kids Under Fire, won "Outstanding War or Violence Conflict Coverage" at the 2026 News #Emmys in New York City yesterday.

Josh Rushing dedicated the award to journalists killed by Israeli forces.

[Will Black 🍓🍄 @WillBlackWriter]

People are saying that Nigel Farage has asked Elon Musk to ban people from X for sharing this clip of him attacking his crony Robert Jenrick.

Surely free speech champion Nigel Farage isn't that petty? But just in case, THIS is the video that you mustn't download or share

[Dr.mostafa project🇵🇸𓂆 @MostafaBNaim1]

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:

“We received a letter today demanding that Lamine Yamal be suspended because he raised the Palestinian flag yesterday during the celebrations of FC Barcelona. I think this is something laughable — asking me to suspend a player simply for raising the Palestinian flag.

I believe FIFA should instead be contacted to prevent you from participating in football because of what you have been doing for more than three years: systematic killing and genocide carried out in the most horrific ways.

Lamine Yamal will be honored, and this flag will become an icon of celebrations in the streets of Spain from today onward.”
