"You should never overestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."
– George Monbiot
Hi @metpoliceuk
This is clearly a call to violence against Muslims in England.
It is terrifying and we need you to investigate.
RT if you stand against racism.
This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.
@uksteve1960@carolvorders Probably for the same reasons Londoners have always wanted to move out of the city. It's happened for decades, and most of the time it's because they no longer want to live in a built-up city with high housing costs
Americans are showing up in huge numbers in Time Square in support of President Zelensky and Ukraine.
Trump awoke a monster.
The world really does seem to stand with Ukraine over Trump.
🔴Kemi Badenoch Uncovered: Deregulation, Small-State Capitalism and Culture War Conservatism

Really is incredible to think that the Tories announced compensation for victims of two scandals, then did nothing to arrange the money. Labour has had to put aside a massive chunk of the money they secured yesterday to fulfil a promise the previous government made.
'The people who have written it are obviously completely ignorant.’
Kemi Badenoch has been accused of ‘stigmatising autism' in a new pamphlet, @johnharris1969 tells @ShelaghFogarty it is 'hateful'.
The Tories are lost because every part of their ideology has failed.
Commentary on the leadership race has focused on the candidates, but their fundamental problem is that their entire worldview has collapsed
By me, for Bloomberg - £ but screengrabs: 🧵

According to @KemiBadenoch, autism diagnosis gives children 'better treatment in school' and 'offers economic advantages and protections.' This is so far removed from the reality for many folks, no wonder her document is called 'Conservatism in Crisis' (https://t.co/tq60ubaBBF)
Really important intervention by a former Cabinet Secretary (and Treasury permanent secretary) calling for reformed fiscal rules which allow more borrowing and investment. https://t.co/OKTVkNQiuI
#OnThisDay September 3, 1971, Jack Baker and Michael McConnell made history as the first legally married same-sex couple in the United States. Their marriage in Minneapolis, Minnesota, marked a significant milestone in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Despite the legal challenges and the state's refusal to recognize their union at the time, their courageous act paved the way for the eventual nationwide legalization of same-sex marriage. Baker and McConnell's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination that have driven the movement for equality and justice. Today, we honor their legacy and the progress made since that landmark moment. #LoveWins #NOH8
A reminder that this is the same Matt Goodwin who said absolutely nothing when the Conservatives
- Imposed big new restrictions on the right to protest
- Restricted the right to go on strike
- Blacklisted anyone who had criticised the Government from speaking at official events
