Congratulations to Britain on becoming the kind of country where the police have to walk on eggshells when talking about a murder case, because one false move could set off a week of fascist rioting by the far right swine our system is increasingly designed to please and impress.
Remember how it took the press literally six weeks to tank Boris Johnson to hated public enemy status simply by noticing what Johnson is and how he behaves? This is like that: Farage has become embarrassing and surplus to requirements, so now he has to go
British law suddenly says no flares, no face masks —even medical & no legitimate reports on Palestinian victims if it comes from a gov’t source https://t.co/tTVS5rkWrL
Labour's handling of BBC charter renewal to date has been a study in dither, delay and muddled thinking. With any luck the current Culture Secretary will be promoted out of harm's way and the job will go to someone who grasps how important public media is in the digital age.
Whether or not Farage faces a byelection, whether or not Burnham calls a snap election, whether or not either win or lose, I can smell one perfume in the air: FALSE FLAG TERROR SEASON. They’re gonna kidnap an Iranian and feed him banned sweets until he blows up a Reform pub.
Here’s more Reform voters who aren’t in the slightest bit bothered about where Nigel Farage gets his dodgy money from, as long as he “stops the boats.”

BREAKING: Israel's parliament has moved to terminate the transfer of Palestinian public funds designated for essential services in Gaza.
Israel is already withholding approximately ILS 14 billion (around US$4.1 billion) in Palestinian revenues and assets, a measure that amounts to the unlawful appropriation of resources belonging to the Palestinian people.
The purpose of this latest bill is plain: to penalize Gaza's civilian population, erode the sovereign institutions of the State of Palestine, and, paradoxically, strengthen Hamas.
There has been no more effective guarantor of Hamas's continued political utility than policies that weaken an independent Palestinian authority capable of governing a contiguous, economically viable and sovereign Palestinian State.
If Argentina beat Switzerland, they’ll become the first team in World Cup HISTORY to reach the semi finals without facing a single top 10 ranked nation.
Just another coincidence, of course...
Lucy Powell’s handlers cleverly decided to put her into an olive green dress with epaulettes when she goes on @SkyNews to blurt “GUNS BEFORE BUTTER!” Very smooth
