Ten years ago, this was straight up far right Nazi shit. Comparing migrants and refugees to Nazi invaders and inciting violence against them.

Now it’s the US Defense Secretary saying it quite casually.
Dark times.

Loudest applause at Retford (which most of media would have down as nailed on Reformland) when I said a few misguided young thugs would be sitting in prison reflecting on how their lives have changed forever while Farage and Musk and the media oligarchs will be busy doing what multi millionaires do on a weekend, not giving a toss about Henry Novak, his family, or the people they whipped into a frenzy.

Informed sources have told me Ukraine severely damaged several Russian key Baltic naval installations in todays massive attack on St Petersburg Russia causing Russian command to start a rapid relocation of air defences from Moscow area to the North of the country.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Last night, the House chose to stand with Ukraine, and I was proud to cast my vote.

We passed military and reconstruction aid for Ukraine, plus hard new sanctions on Russia.

We did it over the objections of Mike Johnson and Republican leadership, who spent over a year trying to keep this bill from ever hitting the floor.

Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle and did the right thing.

Why does this matter?

Because when a giant authoritarian state invades a smaller democracy, there is no gray area. There is no “both sides.”

Vladimir Putin is a thug. He started an unprovoked war. He flattened cities. He stole children from their families. Helping Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s the test of whether we still mean a single word we say about freedom.

I heard every excuse. The war’s winding down, they said, so let’s wait and see. Nonsense. You don’t strengthen a democracy by going wobbly the second things get hard. You don’t stop the next invasion by telling the world American resolve comes with an expiration date. Putin is watching. So is every dictator who dreams of taking what isn’t his by force.

This bill still has to clear the Senate and survive a presidential signature. The odds are long. But the House did its job. And we said it plainly: no country gets swallowed whole just because a tyrant wants it.

I’ll keep fighting to see this through. Ukraine’s fight is our fight, and we do not abandon our friends.

Before I leave Ireland, I want to place on record that in the last 24 hours I have received constant stalking and death threats for my reporting. However I will not be intimidated.

What I have uncovered is deeply troubling, and the effort to silence it only makes that clearer.

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

Once again quick action to bring rioters to justice. Odd how they didn’t learn from last time they were wound up by Farage/Robinson to go on the rampage. Interesting that they plead guilty and face 3-5 years in jail. Lives ruined. Farage/Robinson weren’t even there with them.

[Ian L Richardson @ianrich15813274]

I can barely find strong enough words, without swearing, to express the contempt I feel for JD Vance giving the UK advice yesterday - I'll try! Mr Vice President, you are a brazen hypocrite & false Christian who serves a corrupt & unworthy leader, driven only by money & racism.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

It really wasn’t. It was an outright abuse of Henry’s father’s wishes.

And the US government is hardly in a place to reprimand the UK on police brutality, racism or error.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Your ICE agents shot an unarmed US citizen in the head. A mother.

Then they shot another man for standing in the street.

The US government murders its own citizens.

[Al Smizzle @AlZeidenfeld]

They published a 900-page book in 2023 that told everyone exactly what they planned to do if/when Trump won.

Many people chose not to believe them.

[Briefcase Michael @BriefcaseMike]

If BBC must platform Republicans Overseas to lecture us on law and order it should be pointed out that their President is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and the US has over 15,000 murders by firearms annually and a horrific history of school shootings. #r4today

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Incredible night for Ukraine, taking out Russian oil infrastructure and military targets from St Petersburg to the Urals.

2000km from Ukraine, in Tyumen, the Antipinsky Oil Refinery, capacity 9 million tons/year burns after early morning strikes.

Gay men in the UK suffered 18k hate crimes in 2025. So society does not treat them equally.

[TRUTH🕊️ @HonestHalo]

Attorney General Lord Hermer has made it clear that No one ever got rich betting against Keir Starmer.
From taking on dangerous gangs as DPP to delivering a historic 2024 election victory, Starmer has consistently defied the critics.
Instead of Westminster point-scoring, the Prime Minister remains focused on the mandate he was given. cutting NHS waiting lists, supporting families with the cost of living, and building a stronger, more stable Britain.
True leadership doesn’t walk away when things get tough it delivers.

~ Attorney General Lord Hermer / Press Association (June 2026)

All they do is lie. There's literally a video of Henry's father asking for his son's death not to be politicised.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Dear the BBC Politics.

I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.

He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Pathetic little man. Helps fuel race riots to take the heat off the limited media probing into his crypto financing. Avoids anything but tame interviews which allow him to spout his slogans. Takes sides with a fascist South African tech bro also whipping up racial hatred against the elected PM of UK, the country he claims to love and wants to lead. Demands apologies for word slips on the BBC (which made him). Yet to apologise for the Brexit which has made British people financially worse off (not him though)

[Greg Bagwell @gregbagwell]

The commemoration of the bravery, tragedy and importance of D-Day is not ever the place to try and score cheap political points. What an ignorant and disrespectful dumbass.
