I'm now posting more on Bluesky than on Elon Musk's bully pulpit. Hope to see you over on the brighter side.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

The father of a Saudi Arabian student murdered while studying English in Cambridge has told a judge that his pain is "beyond" words.

Mohammed Algasim, 20, was stabbed in the neck outside student accommodation by 22-year-old construction worker Chas Corrigan, of Holbrook Road, Cambridge, in August 2025.

Ant Middleton tweeted, "Well done all in Southampton!"

Meanwhile, this is what the locals had to put up with.

She felt terrified and unsafe and had never felt unsafe in her own home before.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the white supremacists telling me I’m not British.

They just can’t bear that I am.

The accounts spreading this extremely dangerous disinformation, which puts two police officers and their families in great danger, are still active and have not corrected their lies. X is - knowingly - acting as a threat to public safety & national security in the UK.

[Simon Harris @SimonHarrisMBD]

An important post to share please - it concerns an ex-police officer (PC Christi Hill) who has been incorrectly named all over social media as one of the officers involved in the Henry Nowak case.

[Mothin Ali @MothinAli]

My deepest condolences to the family of Henry Nowak, a young life taken and a tragic loss to society.

The far right want to politicise this murder and divide our communities further. Farage called for 'cold rage' and that's exactly what we got, riots on our streets and not for the first time.

Farage has built his career off the back of demonising Muslims and now his attention is turning to the Sikh community.

We can't allow racism to tear our country apart, we must stand in solidarity.

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

So Mandelson introduces Starmer to Peter Thiel. Blue Labour Maurice Glasman meets Thiel and Bannon and Vance at the same time, and consults with Farage. Both feeding their confidences back to Morgan McSweeney

Anyone remember how Labour reacted to Militant 'entryism'?

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

The self-satisfied smirk of a man who has just pointedly failed to condemn the violence in Southampton yesterday that left 11 police officers (& 1 police dog) injured, & whose call for "cold, hard rage" fuelled this violence.

#Farage knows exactly what he's doing.

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Farage's loud dog-whistling to the racist far right (to which Tommy Robinson and assorted fascist thugs promptly & violently responded) was, among other things, an attempt to stop Reform being outflanked by the even more extreme Restore, now benefiting from Musk's backing.

"A lot of people here think Rupert Lowe is on the brink of at least a coalition government."

The Times’s @KatyBalls explains why Rupert Lowe has become a surprising talking point among MAGA and how his online profile is helping fuel speculation about his political future.

[Mr Ethical 🚩 @nw_nicholas]

It seems Farage didn't bother to attend the Commons debate today on the death of Henry Nowak. He would rather commit online hate crime instead.

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Reform's "vetting process" seems to be designed to ruthlessly exclude anyone who shows any sign of integrity, intelligence or basic common sense. It's doing rather well.

Robert Kenyon thinks pulling a pint after being interviewed makes him more electable, it doesn’t.
On Ukraine- I’ve changed my mind.
On Brexit - I don’t understand what I posted.
On anti-vax claims - I got my vaccine.
On Carol Voderman - I only made a crass joke.

This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Farage's call for "cold, hard rage" was the loudest possible dogwhistle to violent thuggery.

The thugs it was aimed at heard it loud & clear, and acted promptly & accordingly in Southampton this evening.

This is how fascist politicians have always operated.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

@metpoliceuk @MetCC
I believe this is, without any doubt, an incitement to violence.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.

Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Left: Nigel Farage using the murder of Henry Nowak to sew division in society, "rights of white people matter less than ethnic minorities"

Right: Henry Nowak's father, "We do not want his death used to create further division hated or tension"

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Nigel Farage has done plenty of disgusting things in his time, but his exploitation of Henry Novak's murder for political purposes, against the express wishes of Henry's family, is perhaps his most revolting performance yet.

[The Receipts UK ♿ @david_hollas]

This morning Nigel Farage delivered what he called an "emergency address to the nation."
He is the leader of a private limited company. He has 5 MPs. He streamed it on X.
Here is what he actually said.
He opened with the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak and bodycam footage of the police response. The footage raises genuine questions about the conduct of the officers present. Those questions deserve serious scrutiny.
What followed was not serious scrutiny.
"Our institutions don't care about Henry Nowak because he is white."
"White lives matter too."
"The rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities in Britain today."
He compared Henry Nowak's final words - "I can't breathe" - to George Floyd's. Not out of sympathy. To invert the argument. To tell his audience that the same framework now applies to white victims, and that the silence of politicians proves a two-tier culture.
Then came the destination he was always heading for.
"Without anybody being asked, without anybody ever voting for it, we've been subjected to mass immigration on a scale that is truly unbelievable. At least 10 million new people have come to Britain in the last 20 years. Many of these communities have not integrated."
A murder. A dying teenager. And Farage used it to get to that paragraph.
He ended with condolences to the family.
The family asked for dignity. Farage called for cold hard rage.
That is what an emergency address to the nation looks like in 2026.
