Welcome to the "independent investigation" whose convenor, the Committee for Academic Freedom, is financed by Reform UK megadonor Ben Delo - who backed two neo-Nazi conspiracy theorists' failed libel suit against a Jewish artist and whose "sanctuary" hosted a reconstituted Nazi eugenics front (which attacked Jason Arday, which this 'panel' is going to 'investigate'). Are you going to investigate yourselves? https://t.co/EwGsSGTpri

Wait..WHAT?!?
Nigel Farage claims he skipped the Budget to avoid ‘physical altercation’ with an MP.
he claims he’d previously had an issue with an unnamed MP at the state opening of parliament, and wanted to dodge a 'potential conflict' so skipped the Budget?!
And a liberal Democrat MP at that! (They just leapt 50 points in a poll)

This is the funniest sh*t I've heard in such a long time...what were they going to fight with? Custard pies?
You're going into Parliament not a cage fighting with the Rock!

More deflection.

Freedom to speak. Freedom to vote. Freedom to live. These basic liberties were blatantly violated by irresponsible and self-centered tech billionaires this month.

Musk and other tech billionaires are working alongside Putin to replace democracy with a technofascist oligarchy. The path was outlined in the book "The Sovereign Individual" co-authored by William Rees-Mogg which forecast that through means such as cryptocurrencies a super-rich cognitive elite would first break free from democratic control and then seize power. Musk's fellow PayPal mafia member Peter Thiel has written a preface to the book. Thiel has clearly stated that in his view democracy and capitalism are incompatible. Vance owes his position to Thiel's money and influence. Thiel, Musk and David Sacks were reported to have persuaded Trump to take on Vance as his running mate. Don't forget that Musk has had several phone calls with Putin.

Now, please read @TimothyDSnyder's invaluable article.

Pound hasnt crashed, money hasn't been wiped off my retirement pension and my kids mortages haven't increased by £500, sisters business will be exempt from rates, and £100 towards to our soaring fossil fuel bill rises.

👍 budget.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump is the most dangerous president in our history.

He's an authoritarian who does not believe in the rule of law.

This election is not about Ds vs. Rs.

It's about whether we maintain a rubber-stamp GOP Congress that aids and abets Trump — or finally hold him accountable.

[Sami Al-Arian @SamiAlArian]

Netanyahu Lost. His Coalition Lost.
Going from 36 to 26 is not a victory; and for his coalition from 68 to 53 is a defeat.

Don't be fooled by claims that Netanyahu's Likud emerged as the largest party. The real story of the Zionist Regime's election is in the numbers.
Netanyahu's Likud, including his merger with Gideon Sa’ar's New Hope, fell from 36 to 26 seats, a staggering 28% loss.

Netanyahu's right-wing and religious bloc fell from 68 to 53 seats, a loss of 15 seats, or 22%. It is now eight seats short of the 61 needed to govern.

The losers could hardly be clearer.

Netanyahu portrayed himself as the indispensable leader of the Zionist regime. Trump boasted that his support had saved Netanyahu. Yet Netanyahu lost a quarter of his parliamentary strength, while his political bloc lost more than one-fifth of its seats.

The bottom line: Netanyahu and his coalition were decisively defeated at the ballot box. Whether his opponents can translate that defeat into an alternative government is another question entirely.

Being the largest party does not mean winning the election. Losing your parliamentary majority is a defeat, regardless of how you spin it.

Netanyahu is a war criminal and can never be rehabilitated.

[The Rule of Law Project @RuleOfLaw_Proj]

We are facing a crisis of impunity. That's why we built The Rule of Law Project — to investigate unlawful conduct by federal officials, and work with state and local prosecutors to hold them to account.

Watch former DOJ prosecutor Mark Blumberg and human rights leader Brad Adams launch this critical accountability initiative on MSNOW with Nicolle Wallace.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Racists used to be afraid to speak. Now they're shameless. I don't care if they're burning hotels or writing in the Spectator, we've made it too easy for them with this "legitimate concerns" wank. We need to bring back shame for racists.

Proud to be one of the 75 MPs that signed this letter from @amcarmichaelMP calling for further sanctions on Israel for blocking aid to Palestinians in Gaza

Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

ICE and Border Patrol protect Flávio Bolsonaro, using umbrellas to shield him from being photographed.

Trump’s government beats and shoots ordinary working-class people but gives special protection to international criminals tied to money laundering and human trafficking.

[Evan @daviddunn177]

I’ve waited ten years for someone to say this about Donald Trump.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Wonder how all those British commentators who worked themselves into such a lather with @ZackPolanski and the Green 'Zionism is Racism' motion, are squaring their convictions with the awkward fact that Netanyahu would actually have packed his bags by now and conceded if, well, Zionism wasn't racist & it was OK for mainstream Israeli parties to enter coalitions with moderate Palestinian ones.

As it is, we are probably in for another massively racist and genocidal government, quite possibly led by Netanyahu...

Seems that the real world has finally caught up with little boy Boam

Investigations, carried out ahead of the meetings, concluded Boam failed to treat former council monitoring officer Lauren Haslam with respect and, seperately, brought the authority into disrepute with posts about a row over bus routes.

Boam has denied breaching the code of conduct and called the complaint process "a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money".

Council reports said Boam had declined to apologise in both cases, or engage with the investigations.

Cuts to firefighters, fire stations and appliances put firefighters' health and safety at risk.

We've lost 12,000 firefighters since 2010. Crews are working longer hours under greater pressure than ever, making it harder to take proper breaks and follow vital decon procedures.

Cash ISA cut SCRAPPED. The limit will stay at £20,000 tax-free for people of all ages. And to make investment more accessible I will work with the sector to form a new "starter ISA" to make investment more accessible.

Delighted Chancellor has taken up my idea for this and gone with the carrot rather than the stick! #Budget2026

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that Democrats are leading Republicans by more than double digits on all the issues of importance heading into this week's midterms. Holy cow. The blue wave is coming.
