One poll & small sample, but what is interesting is how Rupert Lowe’s Restore party is helping Andy Burnham in his lead against Reform

The police and any other public organisation has no business in seeking to achieve equality of outcomes. "Equity" is a rancid, unachievable political target.

Imagine being behind something called 'The Vagina Museum' while also arguing that women don't exist.

Gas stations in St. Petersburg are rationing fuel even as the city hosts SPIEF with Putin present. The shortage reportedly stems from Ukrainian drone strikes that knocked out the Kirishi refinery in May; it remains offline. https://t.co/8lH0RNMgWL

@Johnny5Life Well that's a view

[Peter Ould (Deeper Magic / Before Dawn Time) @PeterOuld]

Police have to react to the limited details they know, THEN assess and reevaluate.
They turn up to multiple (false, but they don't know that of the time) allegations of a drunk, abusive and violent man. They detain that man (in case he is drunk, abusive and violent) and then assess. Within one minute they release the man and switch into (a) trying to save his life and (b) securing the scene and detaining suspects for a GBH / Murder inquiry.
And this apparently is evidence of racism.
I genuinely don't get it.

@PLazarinho @WhiskeySlvrBall Good night

@Haro0ld_hammer Then he might be alive today and I wouldn't have people piling on me.

But sadly that didn't happen. It does raise the question (again) as to why his brother hasn't been charged with perverting the course of justice.

Makerfield By-Election Update:
https://t.co/1qzdOOW1SO

Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Methodology Statement
Population Sampled: All residents aged 18+ living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency.

Total Sample Size: 518

Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026

Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18+. Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote.

Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election.

Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result.

Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze):

Candidate / Party / Vote share

Andy Burnham - Labour 49%
Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39%
Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8%
Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2%
Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1%
Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1%
Another party <1%

Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed

The negative SI process isn't being used just on this occasion for this Code of Practice. It’s the statutory process in ss.14(7)–(8) Equality Act 2006. And of course the Code itself isn’t a statutory instrument – it’s brought into force by an Order made under s.14(9)(b) EA2006.&gt;

Utterly ridiculous. 🙄

We live in an age of idiocy and low standards.

It's time to close the loophole that feeds Irish raw materials from Limerick to Russia’s military industry.

It's time for effective EU sanctions.

1/ Ukraine's drone dominance has led Russian warblogger and journalist Yuri Kotenok to admit that it's "the best in the world at organizing UAV systems". In a sober commentary, he calls for Russia to radically change its approach to military technology. ⬇️

@ChrissieW670936 @Haro0ld_hammer That's irrelevant as to the point of whether anyone who was there confirmed it

YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife abort their child after finding out the baby had Down syndrome.

Ridgway cited that they chose to kill the baby after deciding that he and his wife didn't want to be inconvenienced with a child with Down syndrome.

"Things have been pretty dark for a while for us, and we felt this was gonna be a nice little ray of sunshine, and it's not."

Horrific and selfish.

An estimated 67% - 85% of pregnancies in the U.S. with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted.

This is evil. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

I can't believe what I've just watched.

A portrait honouring Henry Nowak was placed outside the British Embassy in Poland and staff removed it.

The wonderful people of Poland care more about Henry than staff at our OWN embassy.

Disgusting and absolutely heartbreaking.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Putin just went there on Zelensky’s background, tying it straight to the war:

“He is a Jew. You remember, his grandfather was fighting against Nazis.

I think he is turning in his grave now.”
